Organization of Vertebrate Body
There are four levels of organization: 1. Cells 2. Tissues 3. Organs 4. Organ systems
Bodies of vertebrates are composed of different cell types -Humans have 210
3
Organization of Vertebrate Body
Tissues are groups of cells that are similar in structure and function
The three fundamental embryonic tissues are called germ layers -Endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm
In adult vertebrates, there are four primary tissues -Epithelial, connective, muscle and nerve
4
Organization of Vertebrate Body
Organs are combinations of different tissues that form a structural and functional unit
Organ systems are groups of organs that cooperate to perform the major activities of the body -The vertebrate body contains 11 principal organ systems
5
Organization of Vertebrate Body
6
Organization of Vertebrate Body
The body plan of all vertebrates is essentially a tube within a tube -Inner tube = Digestive tract -Outer tube = Main vertebrate body -Supported by a skeleton -Outermost layer = Skin and its accessories
Inside the body are two identifiable cavities
7
Organization of Vertebrate Body
Dorsal body cavity: Within skull & vertebrae Ventral body cavity: Bounded by the rib
cage and vertebral column -Divided by the diaphragm into: -Thoracic cavity: Heart and lungs -Abdominopelvic cavity: Most organs -Peritoneal cavity: Coelomic space -Pericardial cavity: Around the heart -Pleural cavity: Around the lungs

Epithelial Tissue
An epithelial membrane, or epithelium, covers every surface of the vertebrate body -Can come from any of the 3 germ layers -Some epithelia change into glands
Cells of epithelia are tightly bound together -Provide a protective barrier
Epithelia possess remarkable regenerative powers replacing cells throughout life
13
Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial tissues attach to underlying connective tissues by a fibrous membrane -Basal surface = Secured side -Apical surface = Free side -Therefore, epithelia have inherent polarity, which is important for their function
14
Epithelial Tissue
Two general classes -Simple = One layer thick -Stratified = Several layers thick
Subdivided into: -Squamous cells = Flat -Cuboidal cells = Cube-shaped -Columnar cells = Cylinder-shaped
15
Simple Epithelium
Simple squamous epithelium -Lines lungs and blood capillaries
Simple cuboidal epithelium -Lines kidney tubules and several glands
Simple columnar epithelium -Lines airways of respiratory tract and most of the gastrointestinal tract -Contains goblet cells: secrete mucus

Simple Epithelium
Glands of vertebrates form from invaginated epithelia -Exocrine glands -Connected to epithelium by a duct -Sweat, sebaceous and salivary glands -Endocrine glands -Ductless; lost duct during development -Secretions (hormones) enter blood
21
Stratified Epithelium
Named according to the features of their apical cell layers -Epidermis is a stratified squamous epithelium -Characterized as a keratinized
epithelium -Contains water-resistant keratin -Note: Lips are covered with nonkeratinized, stratified squamous epithelium
22
Stratified Epithelium
23
Connective Tissues
Derive from embryonic mesoderm Divided into two major classes
-Connective tissue proper -Loose or dense -Special connective tissue -Cartilage, bone and blood
All have abundant extracellular material called the matrix -Protein fibers plus ground substance
24
Connective Tissue Proper
Fibroblasts produce and secrete extracellular matrix
Loose connective tissue -Cells scattered within a matrix that contains large amounts of ground substance -Strengthened by protein fibers such as: -Collagen – Supports tissue -Elastin – Makes tissue elastic
25
Connective Tissue Proper
26
Connective Tissue Proper
Adipose cells (fat cells) also occur in loose connective tissue -Develop in large groups in certain areas, forming adipose tissue
27
Connective Tissue Proper
Dense connective tissue -Contains less ground substance and more collagen than loose connective tissue -Dense regular connective tissue -Collagen fibers line up in parallel -Makes up tendons and ligaments -Dense irregular connective tissue: -Collagen fibers have different orientations -Covers kidney, muscles, nerves & bone

Connective Tissue Proper (Cont.)
30
Special Connective Tissue
Cartilage -Ground substance made from characteristic glycoprotein, called chondroitin, and collagen fibers in long, parallel arrays -Flexible with great tensile strength -Found in joint surfaces and other locations -Chondrocytes (cartilage cells) live within lacunae (spaces) in the ground substance
31
Special Connective Tissue
32
Special Connective Tissue
Bone -Osteocytes (bone cells) remain alive in a matrix hardened with calcium phosphate -Communicate through canaliculi
Blood -Extracellular material is the fluid plasma -Erythrocytes = red blood cells -Leukocytes = white blood cells -Thrombocytes = platelets

Muscle Tissue
Muscles are the motors of vertebrate bodies -Three kinds: smooth, skeletal and cardiac
-Skeletal and cardiac muscles are also known as striated muscles -Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control, whereas contraction of the other two is involuntary
36
Muscle Tissue
Smooth muscles are found in walls of blood vessels and visceral organs -Cells are mono-nucleated
Skeletal muscles are usually attached to bone by tendons, so muscle contraction causes bones to move -Muscle fibers (cells) are multi-nucleated -Contract by means of myofibrils, which
contain ordered actin & myosin filaments
5
37
Muscle Tissue
Cardiac muscle is composed of smaller, interconnected cells -Each with a single nucleus -Interconnections appear as dark lines called intercalated disks -Enable cardiac muscle cells to form a
single functioning unit
38 39
40 41
Nerve Tissue
Cells include neurons and their supporting cells, called neuroglia
Most neurons consist of three parts -Cell body: contains the nucleus -Dendrites: highly branched extensions -Conduct electrical impulses toward the
cell body -Axon: single cytoplasmic extension -Conducts impulses away from cell body
42
Nerve Tissue
Neuroglia do not conduct electrical impulses -Support and insulate neurons and eliminate foreign materials in and around neurons -Associate with axon to form an insulating cover called the myelin sheath -Gaps, known as nodes of Ranvier, are involved in acceleration of impulses

46
Nerve Tissue
Nervous system is divided into: -Central nervous system (CNS) -Brain and spinal cord -Integration and interpretation of input -Peripheral nervous system (PNS) -Nerves and ganglia (collections of cell
bodies) -Communication of signal to body
47
Overview of Organ Systems
Communication and integration -Three organ systems detect external stimuli and coordinate the body’s responses -Nervous, sensory and endocrine
systems
Support and movement -The musculoskeletal system consists of two interrelated organ systems
48
Overview of Organ Systems
Regulation and maintenance -Four organ systems regulate and maintain the body’s chemistry -Digestive, circulatory, respiratory
and urinary systems
Defense -The body defends itself with two organ systems: integumentary and immune
49
Overview of Organ Systems
Reproduction and development -The biological continuity of vertebrates is the province of the reproductive system
-In females, the system also nurtures the developing embryo and fetus

Homeostasis
As animals have evolved, specialization of body structures has increased
For cells to function efficiently and interact properly, internal body conditions must be relatively constant -The dynamic constancy of the internal environment is called homeostasis -It is essential for life
63
Homeostasis

64
Homeostasis
To maintain internal constancy, the vertebrate body uses negative feedback mechanisms -Changing conditions are detected by sensors (cells or membrane receptors) -Information is fed to an integrating center, also called comparator (brain, spinal cord or endocrine gland) -Compares conditions to a set point
65
Homeostasis
-If a deviation is detected, a message is sent to an effector (muscle or gland) -Increase or decrease in activity brings
internal conditions back to set point -Negative feedback to the sensor
terminates the response
66
Homeostasis
67
Homeostasis
Humans have set points for body temperature, blood glucose concentrations, electrolyte (ion) concentration, tendon tension, etc.
We are endothermic: can maintain a relatively constant body temperature (37oC or 98.6oF) -Changes in body temperature are detected by the hypothalamus in the brain
68
Homeostasis
Negative feedback mechanisms often oppose each other to produce finer degree of control -Many internal factors are controlled by antagonistic effectors -Have “push-pull” action -Increasing activity of one effector is
accompanied by decrease in the other
69
Homeostasis
Antagonistic effectors are involved in the control of body temperature -If hypothalamus detects high temperature -Promotes heat dissipation via sweating,
and dilation of blood vessels in skin -If hypothalamus detects low temperature -Promotes heat conservation via
shivering and constriction of blood vessels in skin
70
Homeostasis
71
Homeostasis
In a few cases, the body uses positive feedback mechanisms to enhance a change -These do not in themselves maintain homeostasis -However, they are generally part of some
larger mechanism that does! -Examples: -Blood clotting -Contraction of uterus during childbirth 72
