CONCEPT 41.3ORGANS SPECIALIZED FOR SEQUENTIAL STAGES OF FOOD PROCESSING FORM THE MAMMALIAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
•Chapter 40•Grace Cunnie
THE HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Figure 41.9: The human digestive system11
- Mammalian digestive system- Alimentary canal- Accessory glands
- Salivary glands- Pancreas- Liver- Gallbladder
TRAVELING DOWN THE ALIMENTARY CANAL
Food is pushed along canal by peristalsisAlternating waves of contraction and relaxation in the smooth muscles lining the canal
Can be helped along by sphinctersRing-like valves that form at some of the junctions between specialized compartments
THE ORAL CAVITY, PHARYNX, AND ESOPHAGUS
- As saliva is released- Amylase
helps break down starch
- Mucus is produced
DIGESTION IN THE SMALL INTESTINE- Duodenum- First 25 cm- Chyme from
stomach mixes with digestive juices
- Pancreas- Aids in digestion,
produces alkaline solution rich with bicarbonate, several enzymes
- Liver- Produces bile
- Gallbladder- Stores bile
41.4- EVOLUTIONARY ADAPTATIONS OF VERTEBRATE DIGESTIVE SYSTEMS CORRELATE WITH DIET

DENTAL ADAPTATIONS Dentition- an animals’ assortment of teeth
Structural variation reflects diet
Nonmammalian vertebrates generally have less specialized dentition
STOMACH AND INTESTINAL ADAPTATIONS Length of digestive system is correlated to
diet
Carnivores= expandable, large stomachs
Herbivores & Omnivores longer alimentary canals
Longer track= absorb more nutrients and more time
MUTUALISTIC ADAPTATIONS Mutualistic microbes break down
cellulose depending on the type of herbivore
Ruminants- animal with more complex adaptations
Stomach has four chambers
REGULATION OF DIGESTION Nutrition is regulated at different levels
Food in the alimentary canal triggers nervous/hormonal responses
The responses control secretion of digestive juices/promote movement of ingest material
REGULATION OF ENERGY STORAGE When an animal takes in more energy-rich
molecules than needed, it stores excess energy
Vertebrates store excess calories is glycogen (liver/muscle cells) and fat (adipose cells)
Glucose Homeostasis Insulin and glucagon maintain glucose homeostasis
Insulin levels rise= glucose enters liver to synthesize glycogen
Lower glucose level= glucagon stimulates liver to breakdown glycogen (releases glycogen into blood)
REGULATION OF APPETITE AND CONSUMPTION Several homeostatic mechanism regulate
body weight Leptin and insulin regulate appetite by
affecting the brain
Control storage and metabolism of fat
Neurons transmit signals from digestive system, regulating hormone release
OBESITY AND EVOLUTION Fat hoarding was necessary to our
ancestors
Natural selection may have selected them for their ability to store food
Circulatory SystemAnimals with simple body plans – gas exchange
via diffusion Diffusion efficient over small distances Cells exchange materials with surrounding medium
Cells of most animals exchange materials with the environment with a circulatory system
Closed Circulatory SystemBlood circulates in a closed network of vessels and
pumps Blood, blood vessels, 2-4 chambered heart
Open Circulatory SystemCirculatory fluid bathes organs directly
Circulatory fluid called hemolymph Hemolymph pumped through circulatory vessels by heart
Chemical exchange between hemolymph and body cells
The Cardiac CycleSequence of heart pumping and filling
Systole – contraction Relaxation – diastole
Pulse/Cardiac output – measure of heart function
HeartbeatOriginates at the sinoatrial (SA) node
“pacemaker” Pacemaker ability influenced by
Nervous system Hormones Body temperature
Blood fun facts• It takes a drop of blood 20 to 60 seconds for one round-
trip from and to the heart.• We have approximately 100,000 miles of blood vessels • Two million red blood cells die every second.• The kidneys filter over 400 gallons of blood each day.• The average life span of a single red blood cell is 120
days.• There are 150 billion red blood cells in one ounce of
blood• Our hearts pump 48 million gallons of blood/year (in 10
oz. intervals)• White blood cells only last 4-6 hours
• Endothelium – single layer of flattened epithelial cells
• Capillaries – provides blood to tissues and interstitial fluid in-between artery and vein
• Venules – connects vein to capillary• Arterioles – conects artery to capillary• Smooth Muscle – receives hormones, regulates
artery size
• Artery – carries blood away from heart to organs• Vein – carries blood back toward heart
Lymph Nodes
• Lymphatic system – lost fluid and proteins return to blood system
• Lymph – fluid lost by capillaries• Lymph nodes – filter the lymph, house
bacteria/virus fighting cells

42.6 How an Amphibian Breathes
Positive Pressure Breathing: inflation of the lungs through forced air-flow
42.6 How a Bird Breathes
Pass air over the gas exchange surface in only one direction
Incoming fresh air does not mix with air that has already carried out gas exchange
Air sacs: keep air flowing through lungs
Tiny channels called parabronchi allow air to flow in the same direction
42.6 How a Mammal Breathes
Negative pressure breathing: pulling, rather than pushing, air into their lungs
42.6 How a Mammal Breathes
Inhalation requires work Change air pressure within lungs relative to
pressure of outside atmosphere Air rushes through the nostrils and mouth and
down the breathing tubes to the alveoli
42.6 How a Mammal Breathes
Exhalation is passive Muscles controlling the thoracic cavity relax
and volume of cavity is reduced Increased air pressure in alveoli forces air up
breathing tubes and out of the body
42.6 Control of Breathing
Breathing is regulated to ensure that gas exchange is coordinated with blood circulation and with metabolic demand
Neurons in the medulla oblongata: form a breathing control center When you breath deeply a negative feedback
mechanism prevents the lungs from over expanding
Concept 42.7: Adaptations for gas exchange include pigments that bind and transport gases
• The metabolic demands of many organisms require that the blood transport large quantities of O2 and CO2

Coordination of Circulation and Gas Exchange
• Blood arriving in the lungs has a low partial pressure of O2 and a high partial pressure of CO2 relative to air in the alveoli
• In the alveoli, O2 diffuses into the blood and CO2 diffuses into the air
• In tissue capillaries, partial pressure gradients favor diffusion of O2 into the interstitial fluids and CO2 into the blood

Respiratory Pigments
• Respiratory pigments, proteins that transport oxygen, greatly increase the amount of oxygen that blood can carry
• Arthropods and many molluscs have hemocyanin with copper as the oxygen-binding component
• Most vertebrates and some invertebrates use hemoglobin
• In vertebrates, hemoglobin is contained within erythrocytes
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Hemoglobin
• A single hemoglobin molecule can carry four molecules of O2, one molecule for each iron- containing heme group
• The hemoglobin dissociation curve shows that a small change in the partial pressure of oxygen can result in a large change in delivery of O2
• CO2 produced during cellular respiration lowers blood pH and decreases the affinity of hemoglobin for O2; this is called the Bohr shift

Carbon Dioxide Transport
• Hemoglobin also helps transport CO2 and assists in buffering the blood
• CO2 from respiring cells diffuses into the blood and is transported in blood plasma, bound to hemoglobin, or as bicarbonate ions (HCO3

Respiratory Adaptations of Diving Mammals
• Diving mammals have evolutionary adaptations that allow them to perform extraordinary feats
– For example, Weddell seals in Antarctica can remain underwater for 20 minutes to an hour
– For example, elephant seals can dive to 1,500 m and remain underwater for 2 hours
• These animals have a high blood to body volume ratio
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Deep-diving air breathers stockpile O2 and deplete it slowly
• Diving mammals can store oxygen in their muscles in myoglobin proteins
• Diving mammals also conserve oxygen by– Changing their buoyancy to glide passively– Decreasing blood supply to muscles– Deriving ATP in muscles from fermentation once
oxygen is depleted
