Cards

Term
Respiratory System
Definition
Gas exchange between the surface of an organism and its environment.
Term
Diffusion rate depends on:
Definition
  1. Differences in Partial Pressure
  2. Surface Area
  3. Thickness of Tissue
  4. Resistance of diffusion
Term
External Respiration
Definition
Gas exchange between the environment in lungs and gills/skin
Term
Internal Respiration
Definition
Gas exchange between the blood and tissues in capillary beds.
Term
Ventillation
Definition
Breathing - active process of moving respiratory medium across the exchange surface.
Term
Perfusion
Definition
Pumping blood through an organ via capillaries.
Term
Ideal Ventilation
Definition

Ventilation Rate = Perfusion Rate

 

Mammals

Term
PR>VR
Definition
Perfusion is too fast and blood leaves the respiratory surface before fully saturated.
Term
VR>PR
Definition

Perfusion is too slow; inefficient: blood lingers too long in the respiratory surface.
Already saturated.

 

Fish (35:1) since there is a reduced amount of O2 in water. 

Term
Gills
Definition

Aquatic animals.

Internal or External.

Concurrent/cross-current exchange.

Structure = dense capillary beds.

V-shaped.

Blood is countercurrent b/t H2O and blood in 2' lamallae.

Term
Internal Gills
Definition
Unidirectional flow of H2O - enters buccal cavity, passes over the gills, passes out the gill slits. Continuous.
Term
External Gills
Definition
Protrude into surrounding H2O.
Term
Gas Bladder
Definition

Aquatic

Actinopterygian Fish.

Physostomous vs. Physoclistus.

Term
Physostomous
Definition

Directly connected to the digestive tract by a duct (pneumatic duct)

Fill the bladder by gulping air and force air into bladder via duct.

Term
Physoclistus
Definition

NOT connected to the digestive tract.

Filled by secretion of gas into the bladder, from the blood - blood enters bladder @ gas gland.

Term
Lungs
Definition

Elastic sacs lined with surfactant that decreases surface tension and allows the lungs to inflate when they inhale. (endoderm)

 

Terrestrial Animals

Usually paired.

Ventral to digestive tract.

Bidirectional/tidal flow.

Concurrent gas exchange/uniform pool.

Trachea->bronchi->bronchioles->alveoli

Term
Tidal Flow
Definition
Air in/out of the same channel.
Term
Skin
Definition

Cutaneous Respiration.

Aquatic/terrestrial animals.

Capillary beds in dermis and epidermis.

amphibious animals.

Not found in birds.

Some mammals (bats = wing membrane).

Some reptiles
(In the hinge region b.t scales and around cloaca)

Term
Muscular Pump
Definition
Move air/H2O across
Term
3 Types of Pumps
Definition

1 is H2O breathing and 2 are used for air breathing.

  1. Dual Pump.
  2. Buccal (Pulse) Pump.
  3. Aspiration Pump.
Term
Dual Pump
Definition

Water.

Fish (gills)

Pumps: Buccal and Opercular

Unidirectional Flow.

Term
Buccal (Pulse) Pump
Definition

Air.

Air-breathing fish, amphibians (supp gills)
Bidirecitonal flow. 

Term
Aspiration Pump
Definition

Air.

Mammals, Reptiles, Birds

Lungs within the pump.

Bidrecitonal Flow.

Pump = ribcage/diaphragm.

Decouples breathing and respiration.

Term
Bicarbonate Buffer Equation
Definition
[image]
Term
Fish elimination of CO2.
Definition
Eliminated across gills.
Term
Amniotes elimination of CO2.
Definition
Elimated out of lungs.
Term
Amphibians elimination of CO2.
Definition
Eliminated across skin.
