Excretory & Respiratory Systems. Lungs and Kidneys. Gas Exchange: oxygen & CO 2. Type 1. Earliest type: Simple diffusion. Diffusion = movement of particles to equilibrium!. Gas exchange : simple diffusion. Examples of organisms that use simple diffusion. Protists : amoebas etc

Excretory & Respiratory Systems Lungs and Kidneys
Gas Exchange: oxygen & CO2 Type 1 Earliest type: Simple diffusion Diffusion = movement of particles to equilibrium!
Gas exchange: simple diffusion Examples of organisms that use simple diffusion Protists: amoebas etc Plants: through stomata
Gas exchange: skin Some amphibians, worms Skin must be moist to open pores!
not lungs!!!! Gas exchange: insects special openings to let in oxygen: SPIRACLES Tracheal tubes Tubes open to outside of body, allow passive diffusion of gas SPIRACLES are valves that open and close
http://www.astrobio.net/pressrelease/2431/attack-of-the-giant-insectshttp://www.astrobio.net/pressrelease/2431/attack-of-the-giant-insects Interesting idea: ancient giants more oxygen!! Now, oxygen is at 21% Then, it was at 30%!!! What was different about earth’s atmosphere that would let insects grow so big?
letting oxygen diffuse out of water into blood letting CO2 diffuse out of blood into water Gas exchange: Gills Thin layers of tissue
Gills “counter-current exchange” water oxygen oxygen blood carbon dioxide carbon dioxide Fish, (bony & cartilaginous), Mollusks 80% efficiciency rate
Lungs + Air Sacs: Birds Birds have so many air sacs, they can get fresh oxygen while inhaling OR exhaling!
Mammals: nose or blowhole Sinus cavities to filter air Tissue to warm air
Trachea: tube for air Choking: blockage of trachea Cartilage rings around it keeps it from collapsing
Bronchi: branches into lungs Looks like a branching tree
By the way: bronchitis is inflammation (swelling) of the bronchi Usually due to infection or allergies
Lungs: amphibians, reptiles, mammals Concurrent exchange system
Lungs: getting oxygen from air Expanding lungs = contracting diaphragm
Take a closer look at lungs: ALVEOLI: small sacks
Ocean mammals: Lungs Nose or blowhole
Excretion: water balance! Also: sweating! Removes NITROGEN ous WASTES Urinary Tract: filters liquid wastes from body, balances water in blood
Kidney: contains NEPHRONS Units of tubing that remove excess water and liquid wastes from blood
General idea of a nephron: In the glomerulus, blood is passed near the tubules to exchange materials
Glomerulus Blood can exchange wastes with liquid Excess water will diffuse out of blood into renal tubule
Wastes pass through URETER To be stored in bladder Passed out urethra to outside of body Exit controlled by sphincter
Sphincters: open and close Muscular “lock”
Potty training kids: Wait for nervous system to reach voluntary sphincters 13 months – 36 months
Kidney Stones Mineral deposits in kidneys or ureter Painful!
UTI: urinary tract infection Bacterial infection Can spread to kidneys if left untreated
Control of Water Balance: BEWARE! You can drink too much water You can drink too little water You can kill babies by giving them too much water in their formula! Brain hormone ADH keeps balance HOMEOSTASIS
What is dialysis? When kidney’s fail, we have to do their job with machines. USE DIFFUSION!
