2. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Elephants Do the "Groucho Gait" Movement is one of the most distinctive features of animals, from elephants to Groucho Movement is dependent on precise interaction among three organ systems – Nervous system issues commands to muscular system – Muscular system exerts force that makes the animal move – Skeletal system provides the firm structure that muscular force works against

6. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings MOVEMENT AND LOCOMOTION 30.1 Diverse means of animal locomotion have evolved Locomotion: active travel from place to place – Animal must use energy to overcome friction and gravity Swimming – Water supports against gravity but offers frictional resistance – Different body structures are used to swim – A streamlined body aids rapid swimming

8. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Locomotion on Land: Hopping, Walking, Running, and Crawling – Animals that hop, run, or walk must expend energy to propel themselves and stay upright – Burrowing or crawling animals must overcome friction May move by side-to-side undulation or by peristalsis

16. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hydrostatic skeleton – Consists of fluid held under pressure in a closed body compartment – Works well for aquatic animals and those that burrow by peristalsis Most are soft and flexible (example: hydra) Video: Hydra Eating Daphnia Video: Hydra Eating Daphnia

18. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Exoskeleton – Rigid, external covering with muscles attached at inner surface – Arthropod chitin exoskeleton Thin and flexible at joints Secreted by living cells Must be molted periodically, leaving the animal unprotected – Mollusc calcium carbonate exoskeleton Enlarges by adding to outer edge

20. LE 30-2c Mantle Shell (exoskeleton)

21. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Endoskeleton – Hard or leathery supporting elements situated among the soft tissues – Vertebrate skeleton consists of cartilage or combination of cartilage and bone

24. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 30.3 The human skeleton is a unique variation on an ancient theme Skeletons of vertebrates have a number of similarities – Axial skeleton Skull, vertebrae, and ribs – Appendicular skeleton in most Shoulder girdle, upper limbs, pelvic girdle, lower limbs

25. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The human skeleton reflects bipedal evolution – Skull is large, flat-faced, balanced on top of backbone – Backbone is S-shaped – Pelvic girdle is shorter, rounder, and oriented vertically – Bones of hands and feet are adapted for different functions Hands: grasping and manipulating Feet: support the entire body bipedally

28. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The versatility of the vertebrate skeleton comes in part from its movable joints – Ball-and-socket joints allow movement in all directions – Hinge joints permit movement in one plane – Pivot joints allow bones to rotate

30. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 30.4 Bones are complex living organs Bones consist of several kinds of moist, living tissue – Fibrous connective tissue covers the outer surface – Cartilage cushions the joints – Bone cells live in a matrix of flexible collagen fibers embedded in hard calcium and phosphate

31. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Long bones have a central cavity – Stores yellow bone marrow, which is mostly stored fat Spongy bone is at the ends of long bones – Contains red marrow, which produces blood cells Blood vessels and nerves coursing through channels service bone cells

32. LE 30-4 Cartilage Spongy bone (contains red bone marrow) Compact bone Central cavity Yellow bone marrow Fibrous connective tissue Blood vessels Cartilage

33. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings CONNECTION 30.5 Broken bones can heal themselves Two factors determine whether a bone might break – Strength of skeleton – Angle and amount of force applied Bone cells can build new bone and heal a break, given the opportunity – Realignment; splint or cast; traction Severely injured or diseased bone must be replaced

36. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings CONNECTION 30.6 Weak, brittle bones are a serious health problem, even in young people Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by low bone mass and structural degeneration of the bone matrix Lowered estrogen production makes this a problem among older women Unhealthy lifestyles have made osteoporosis a serious concern for young people

38. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings MUSCLE CONTRACTION AND MOVEMENT 30.7 The skeleton and muscles interact in movement Muscles are connected to bones by tendons Antagonistic pairs of muscles produce movement – A muscle can only contract – To extend, a muscle must be pulled by the contraction of an opposing muscle

40. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 30.8 Each muscle cell has its own contractile apparatus A muscle consists of bundles of parallel muscle fibers Each muscle fiber is a bundle of smaller myofibrils – A single cell with many nuclei Each myofibril consists of repeating units called sarcomeres A sarcomere, composed of overlapping thick myosin and thin actin filaments, is the muscle's contractile apparatus

42. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 30.9 A muscle contracts when thin filaments slide across thick filaments The sliding-filament model of muscle contraction – A sarcomere contracts when its thin filaments slide across its thick filament – Contraction is caused by energy-consuming interactions of myosin and actin molecules

43. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings – The sequence of detach-extend-attach-pull occurs repeatedly ATP binds to a myosin head, which is released from an actin filament Hydrolysis of ATP extends the myosin head The myosin head attaches to an actin binding site The power stroke slides the actin (thin) filament toward the center of the sarcomere

45. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 30.10 Motor neurons stimulate muscle contraction A motor unit consists of a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it controls A motor neuron can stimulate more than one muscle fiber because of its many branches – Neuron's axons form neuromuscular junctions with muscle fibers – Action potential from neuron triggers release of acetylcholine

46. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings – Acetylcholine diffuses across neuromuscular junctions to muscle fibers – Change in fiber membrane permeability triggers action potentials that pass into the center of the muscle cell – Calcium released from the endoplasmic reticulum initiates filament sliding and muscle contraction

50. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Anaerobic exercise builds larger muscles that generate greater power – Increases size of muscle fibers – More glycogen stored as fuel reserve

52. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 30.12 The structure-function theme underlies all the parts and activities of an animal Animal movement is a visible reminder that function emerges from structure – Integrates the sensory, nervous, and motor systems Athletic ability results from adaptations that have been refined through natural selection and contribute to our survival as a species
