4 Size and shape affect the way an animal interacts with its environment Concept 40.1: Animal form and function are correlated at all levels of organization Size and shape affect the way an animal interacts with its environment Many different animal body plans have evolved and are determined by the genome Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

5 Physical Constraints on Animal Size and ShapeThe ability to perform certain actions depends on an animal’s shape, size, and environment Evolutionary convergence reflects different species’ adaptations to a similar environmental challenge Physical laws impose constraints on animal size and shape Video: Shark Eating Seal Video: Galápagos Sea Lion Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

16 In vertebrates, the space between cells is filled with interstitial fluid, which allows for the movement of material into and out of cells A complex body plan helps an animal in a variable environment to maintain a relatively stable internal environment Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

17 Hierarchical Organization of Body PlansMost animals are composed of specialized cells organized into tissues that have different functions Tissues make up organs, which together make up organ systems Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

19 Tissue Structure and FunctionDifferent tissues have different structures that are suited to their functions Tissues are classified into four main categories: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

20 It contains cells that are closely joined Epithelial Tissue Epithelial tissue covers the outside of the body and lines the organs and cavities within the body It contains cells that are closely joined The shape of epithelial cells may be cuboidal (like dice), columnar (like bricks on end), or squamous (like floor tiles) Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

21 The arrangement of epithelial cells may be simple (single cell layer), stratified (multiple tiers of cells), or pseudostratified (a single layer of cells of varying length) Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

24 Connective tissue mainly binds and supports other tissues It contains sparsely packed cells scattered throughout an extracellular matrix The matrix consists of fibers in a liquid, jellylike, or solid foundation Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

25 There are three types of connective tissue fiber, all made of protein:Collagenous fibers provide strength and flexibility Elastic fibers stretch and snap back to their original length Reticular fibers join connective tissue to adjacent tissues Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

26 Connective tissue contains cells, includingFibroblasts that secrete the protein of extracellular fibers Macrophages that are involved in the immune system Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

27 In vertebrates, the fibers and foundation combine to form six major types of connective tissue:Loose connective tissue binds epithelia to underlying tissues and holds organs in place Cartilage is a strong and flexible support material Fibrous connective tissue is found in tendons, which attach muscles to bones, and ligaments, which connect bones at joints Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

28 Adipose tissue stores fat for insulation and fuel Blood is composed of blood cells and cell fragments in blood plasma Bone is mineralized and forms the skeleton Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

50 Concept 40.2: Feedback control loops maintain the internal environment in many animalsAnimals manage their internal environment by regulating or conforming to the external environment Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

51 Regulating and ConformingA regulator uses internal control mechanisms to moderate internal change in the face of external, environmental fluctuation A conformer allows its internal condition to vary with certain external changes Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

53 Homeostasis Organisms use homeostasis to maintain a “steady state” or internal balance regardless of external environment In humans, body temperature, blood pH, and glucose concentration are each maintained at a constant level Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

54 Mechanisms of HomeostasisMechanisms of homeostasis moderate changes in the internal environment For a given variable, fluctuations above or below a set point serve as a stimulus; these are detected by a sensor and trigger a response The response returns the variable to the set point Animation: Negative Feedback Animation: Positive Feedback Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

55 Response: Heater turned off Room temperature decreases Stimulus:Fig. 40-8 Response: Heater turned off Room temperature decreases Stimulus: Control center (thermostat) reads too hot Set point: 20ºC Figure 40.8 A nonliving example of negative feedback: control of room temperature Stimulus: Control center (thermostat) reads too cold Room temperature increases Response: Heater turned on

56 Feedback Loops in HomeostasisThe dynamic equilibrium of homeostasis is maintained by negative feedback, which helps to return a variable to either a normal range or a set point Most homeostatic control systems function by negative feedback, where buildup of the end product shuts the system off Positive feedback loops occur in animals, but do not usually contribute to homeostasis Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

57 Alterations in HomeostasisSet points and normal ranges can change with age or show cyclic variation Homeostasis can adjust to changes in external environment, a process called acclimatization Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

58 Concept 40.3: Homeostatic processes for thermoregulation involve form, function, and behaviorThermoregulation is the process by which animals maintain an internal temperature within a tolerable range Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

59 Endothermy and EctothermyEndothermic animals generate heat by metabolism; birds and mammals are endotherms Ectothermic animals gain heat from external sources; ectotherms include most invertebrates, fishes, amphibians, and non-avian reptiles Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

60 Endothermy is more energetically expensive than ectothermyIn general, ectotherms tolerate greater variation in internal temperature, while endotherms are active at a greater range of external temperatures Endothermy is more energetically expensive than ectothermy Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

62 Variation in Body TemperatureThe body temperature of a poikilotherm varies with its environment, while that of a homeotherm is relatively constant Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

63 Balancing Heat Loss and GainOrganisms exchange heat by four physical processes: conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

67 Five general adaptations help animals thermoregulate:Insulation Circulatory adaptations Cooling by evaporative heat loss Behavioral responses Adjusting metabolic heat production Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

68 Insulation is a major thermoregulatory adaptation in mammals and birds Skin, feathers, fur, and blubber reduce heat flow between an animal and its environment Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

69 Circulatory AdaptationsRegulation of blood flow near the body surface significantly affects thermoregulation Many endotherms and some ectotherms can alter the amount of blood flowing between the body core and the skin In vasodilation, blood flow in the skin increases, facilitating heat loss In vasoconstriction, blood flow in the skin decreases, lowering heat loss Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

70 The arrangement of blood vessels in many marine mammals and birds allows for countercurrent exchangeCountercurrent heat exchangers transfer heat between fluids flowing in opposite directions Countercurrent heat exchangers are an important mechanism for reducing heat loss Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

72 Some bony fishes and sharks also use countercurrent heat exchanges Many endothermic insects have countercurrent heat exchangers that help maintain a high temperature in the thorax Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

73 Cooling by Evaporative Heat LossMany types of animals lose heat through evaporation of water in sweat Panting increases the cooling effect in birds and many mammals Sweating or bathing moistens the skin, helping to cool an animal down Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

74 Behavioral Responses Both endotherms and ectotherms use behavioral responses to control body temperature Some terrestrial invertebrates have postures that minimize or maximize absorption of solar heat Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

75 Fig Figure Thermoregulatory behavior in a dragonfly

76 Adjusting Metabolic Heat ProductionSome animals can regulate body temperature by adjusting their rate of metabolic heat production Heat production is increased by muscle activity such as moving or shivering Some ectotherms can also shiver to increase body temperature Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

79 Acclimatization in ThermoregulationBirds and mammals can vary their insulation to acclimatize to seasonal temperature changes When temperatures are subzero, some ectotherms produce “antifreeze” compounds to prevent ice formation in their cells Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

80 Physiological Thermostats and FeverThermoregulation is controlled by a region of the brain called the hypothalamus The hypothalamus triggers heat loss or heat generating mechanisms Fever is the result of a change to the set point for a biological thermostat Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

81 Sweat glands secrete sweat, which evaporates, cooling the body. Fig Sweat glands secrete sweat, which evaporates, cooling the body. Thermostat in hypothalamus activates cooling mechanisms. Blood vessels in skin dilate: capillaries fill; heat radiates from skin. Body temperature decreases; thermostat shuts off cooling mechanisms. Increased body temperature Homeostasis: Internal temperature of 36–38°C Body temperature increases; thermostat shuts off warming mechanisms. Decreased body temperature Figure The thermostatic function of the hypothalamus in human thermoregulation Blood vessels in skin constrict, reducing heat loss. Thermostat in hypothalamus activates warming mechanisms. Skeletal muscles contract; shivering generates heat.

82 Concept 40.4: Energy requirements are related to animal size, activity, and environmentBioenergetics is the overall flow and transformation of energy in an animal It determines how much food an animal needs and relates to an animal’s size, activity, and environment Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

83 Energy Allocation and UseAnimals harvest chemical energy from food Energy-containing molecules from food are usually used to make ATP, which powers cellular work After the needs of staying alive are met, remaining food molecules can be used in biosynthesis Biosynthesis includes body growth and repair, synthesis of storage material such as fat, and production of gametes Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

85 Quantifying Energy UseMetabolic rate is the amount of energy an animal uses in a unit of time One way to measure it is to determine the amount of oxygen consumed or carbon dioxide produced Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

86 Fig Figure Measuring rate of oxygen consumption in a running pronghorn

87 Minimum Metabolic Rate and ThermoregulationBasal metabolic rate (BMR) is the metabolic rate of an endotherm at rest at a “comfortable” temperature Standard metabolic rate (SMR) is the metabolic rate of an ectotherm at rest at a specific temperature Both rates assume a nongrowing, fasting, and nonstressed animal Ectotherms have much lower metabolic rates than endotherms of a comparable size Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

88 Influences on Metabolic RateMetabolic rates are affected by many factors besides whether an animal is an endotherm or ectotherm Two of these factors are size and activity Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

89 Size and Metabolic RateMetabolic rate per gram is inversely related to body size among similar animals Researchers continue to search for the causes of this relationship The higher metabolic rate of smaller animals leads to a higher oxygen delivery rate, breathing rate, heart rate, and greater (relative) blood volume, compared with a larger animal Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

93 Activity and Metabolic RateActivity greatly affects metabolic rate for endotherms and ectotherms In general, the maximum metabolic rate an animal can sustain is inversely related to the duration of the activity Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

94 Energy Budgets Different species use energy and materials in food in different ways, depending on their environment Use of energy is partitioned to BMR (or SMR), activity, thermoregulation, growth, and reproduction Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
