1. IGCSE, Respiration Structures for Gas Exchange

2. Gas Exchange Basics Organisms need to exchange O 2 and CO 2 with the environment. Gas exchange occurs by DIFFUSION.

3. Basics (continued) Single cells, and small organisms living in an aquatic environment can exchange gasses through body surfaces, because of large SURFACE TO VOLUME RATIO. Marine flatworm

4. 5 1 Total surface area (height  width  number of sides  number of boxes) Total volume (height  width  length  number of boxes) Surface-to-volume ratio (surface area  volume) 6 1 6 150 125 1.2

5. Basics (continued) As size increases, surface to volume DECREASES, making specialized gas exchange structures necessary. Sea slug. Fleshy “gills” on its back increase surface area.

6. Basics (continued) Marine worm (polychaete), unjointed limbs serve for locomotion and for gas exchange. Parapodia

7. Specialized Gas Exchange Surfaces Larger animals have specialized surfaces just for gas exchange. Gills Trachial Systems Lungs

8. Gills Some marine worms and arthropods, mollusks, and fish have gills. Gills are tissues with a rich blood supply, divided into plates or filaments to increase surface area.

13. Trachial Systems Land arthropods (insects, spiders, scorpions, etc.) breath through trachial systems. Spiracle Tracheae Air sacs Air sac Body cell Air Trachea Tracheole Tracheoles Body wall

14. Trachial Systems (continued) In a trachial system, air is circulated to a system of air sacs throughout the animal’s body. Thus every cell is near a source of air.

15. Lungs Some fish, amphibians, all reptiles, birds and mammals use lungs. Lungs are large bags, divided into millions of tiny air sacs called alveoli. Alveoli increase surface area.

19. Circulatory Systems Distributing Oxygen, Eliminating Carbon Dioxide in Multicellular Organisms

20. Circulatory Systems consist of Heart – pumps blood Arteries – carry blood away from the heart Veins – carry blood back to the heart Capillaries – connect arteries to veins, allow for gas exchange with tissues

21. Heart Hemolymph in sinuses surrounding organs Interstitial fluid Heart Small branch vessels in each organ Anterior vessel Lateral vessels Ostia Tubular heart Dorsal vessel (main heart) Ventral vessels Auxiliary hearts (a) An open circulatory system(b) A closed circulatory system Open and closed circulatory systems

22. Hearts Fish – 2 chambered heart (atrium and ventricle), one circuit Amphibians – 3 chambered heart (2 atria, one ventricle, 2 circuits (pulmonary and systemic) Reptiles – 3 chambered with some division of ventricle, 2 circuits Mammals & Birds – 4 chambered heart, 2 circuits
