Term
1!!!!!!! What is homeostasis
Definition
maintain stable internal environment
Term
what organs are studied in homeostasis?
Definition
respiratory, circulatory, excretory
Term
what do respiratory systems do?
Definition
gas exchange 02 co2

aerobic respration
oxygen consumed and co2 produced. carbonic acid biproduct
Term
do respiratory systems include diffusion?
Definition
yes and some form of bulk transport/flow
Term
what is the main stimulus for respiration?
Definition
Co2 because it will alter blood pH
Term
aerobic respiration: the process what is it?

dont have to know specifics
Definition
glycolosis etc from bio 400
Term
what is cutaneous respiration?
Definition
skin/body wall
Term
what is an E-vaginated resp structure?
Definition
gill
Term
what is an invaginated resp structure?
Definition
lung inside body
Term
how is SA:Vol ration overcome?
Definition
ex gills have thin walls which greatly increases surface area.

ex frog has flaps of skin
Term
If an animal is too big what do you need?
Definition
additional mechanism of transport=bulk flow.
move fluid with oxygen in it
then diffuse!
Term
when do you start to need ciculation?
Definition
when animal become too large. need bulk flow for efficient diffusion
Term
How does ventilation work?
Definition
Bulk flow>>gases>>>respiratory membrane
Diffusion across membrane>>
bulk flow>>gases to cells internally, called CIRCULATION
Term
what is another way to describe circulation?
Definition
bulk flow of gases ti cells internally, no external exposure. blood vessels in your body.
Term
why is ventilation necessary?
Definition
because diffusion wont work. You need to increase oxygen supply to respiratory structures.
Term
what is the boundary layer?
Definition
the layer of o2 in contact with gill.
Term
which is faster bulk flow or diffusion?
Definition
bulk flow
Term
where does diffusion occur?
Definition
only at edge next to membrane. All else is bulk flow (outside)
Term
HOW does ventilation work?
Definition
pumps fluid over respiratory structure(breathing ex) requires energy
Term
what does ventilation use to pump fluid over respiratory structure in tunicates?
Definition
cilia or flagella
Term
what does ventilation use to pump fluid over respiratory structure in vertebrates?
Definition
muscular pump. Lower pressure in lung vs out.
Term
how does the respiratory interface with circulatory?
Definition
gases transfer between external and internal fluid. SA^ thin membrane. good for diffusion of h20 but bad for on land.
ex air, water is external
ex flood, hemolymph internal
Term
what is hemolymph?
Definition
seen in animals w/open circ systems. No hemoglobin.
Term
HOw much do amphibians respire cutaneously?
Definition
20 to 90 perc.
12 -bats
5 -humans
Term
What are internal gills associated with in vertebrates?
Definition
pharyngeal slits and arches.
Term
why are counter current systems found more often in aquatic animals?
Definition
to keep core temp constant by warming or cooling blood from periphery. Flow of gas or blood in opposite directions.
Term
counter current allow for what when speaking of oxygen?
Definition
contstant diffusion of 02 resulting in higher concentration of 02 in direction of blood flow.
Term
how does heat conservation work?
Definition
ex African antelope
core>>>hot blood>>>periphery(edge)>>colder.
Term
what would be the result of blood flow without countercurrent heat exchange?
Definition
harder to maintain temperature, blood would cool at ends as opposed to the heat exchange prsence would maintain more even temperatures through out body.
Term
What are some other examples of countercurrent heat exchange?
Definition
whale flippers, fin, flukes, testes, turtle flippers, gull feet, arctic fox feet, noses and legs, tuna muscle, kidneys, etc.
Term
what are 2 sources from which swim bladder can be filled with air?

can gas be absorbed back into circulation from swim bladder?
Definition
Yes. swim bladder is already thin like resp membrane and vascular.
Term
what effect does increased temperatures have on o2 content in tropical freshwater?
Definition
decreases o2.
Term
what does lungfish do during drought?
Definition
estavation in mud.
Term
why is concurrent lung less efficient than others and what is an example?
Definition
air is gulped. cutaneous respiration required because not enough o2 provided. occurs in amphibians.
Term
which is most efficient and common out of the 3 ventilations?
Definition
countercurrent. allows osmoregulation(regulating ion concentration)
Term
what is the trend of lungs for terrestrial land animals?
Definition
increased lung size. Increased branching for tree
diffusion only at ends of tree.
Term
do branches of respiratory tree do gas exchange?
Definition
no only occurs at tips which are called alveoli sacs.
Term
What is the main 2-3 differences in bird respiration?
Definition
exchange takes place in Bronchi not air sacs.
blood is oxygenated during inspiration and expiration. bird takes 2 breaths.
Term
what kind of current flow do birds have?
Definition
cross current. has high arterial partial pressure than countercurrent.
Term
why do birds not have countercurrent lungs like is most common?
or Why are stuctures not the best possible? why do pigs not have wings?
Definition
EVOLUTIONARY CONTRAINT. there are multiple solutions. You have what you start with.
change is difficult. You still survive anyway so why need it?
Term
What is the definition of constraint(evolutionary)
Definition
any result or component from ancestry that prevents prevent anticipated course of evolution. permission is natural selection altering what ALREADY exists.
Term
how many phenotypic variables are there for similar traits ie lungs?
Definition
many many whith varying fitness peaks. ex some things breath better than others. birds breathe twice and oxygenate blood twice as fast.

adaptive radiation
Definition
the evolution of ecological and phenotypic diversity within a rapidly multiplying lineage.[1] Starting with a recent single ancestor, this process results in the speciation and phenotypic adaptation of an array of species exhibiting different morphological and physiological traits with which they can exploit a range of divergent environments.

punctuated equillibria
Definition
that most changes that a species goes through occur at the time of speciation, in the beginning, when it changes rapidly into a new species from a population of an existing species.
Term
orthogenesis
Definition
theory that successive members of an evolutionary series become increasingly modified in a single undeviating direction. That evolution frequently proceeds in orthogenetic fashion is undeniable, though many striking features developed in an orthogenetic group appear to have little if any adaptive value and may even be markedly disadvantageous.
