To grow

To renew our body

To get energy

To move our skeletal muscles

For other muscles to contract -heart pumping, respiratory mucles, digestive muscles...

To keep the body temperature

For brain activity

In spiders..digestion is carried out externally (outside spider's body) and internally. Spiders secrete digestive fluids into their prey. Digestive fluids dissolve the prey's internal tissues. Then the spider feeds by sucking the partially digested fluids out.

Digestion of cell walls with cellulose takes placein the complex stomach.Later on food is brought back up into the animal's mouth to be chewed more

Digestion of cell walls with cellulose takes placein the big stomach

Plants, particularly grasses, are very hard to digest. Animals that eat plants need to have a particular bacteria inside their bodies to help break down the cell walls with cellulose

Some herbivores are ruminants (say room-in-unt). This means that there are 4 parts to their stomachs:Food goes to the first parts, called the rumen (say room-in) and the reticulum (say reh-tick-you-lm), where cellulose digestion takes place. Later on this food is brought back up into the animal's mouth to be chewed more.

Then food is swallowed and goes into the third and fourth parts of the stomach, called the omasum (say oh-ma-sm) and abomasum (say uh-boe-ma-sm), where digestion continues.

Ruminants do not need to drink very much water because there is moisture in and on the plants they eat.

Ruminant herbivores include giraffe,antelopes, camel.

Some herbivores are non-ruminants. The digestion of cell walls with cellulose takes place further down their digestive system

Non-ruminants pass quite a lot of undigested food out of their bodies. They have to spend about three quarters of the day feeding.

Non- ruminant herbivores includezebra, hippopotamus, rhinoceros.

gas exchange

Gas exchange surfaces in animals

surfaces full of blood vessels

Breathing is the action of moving air to the inside of the body and then, move air outside.

In other words, inhale and exhale.

Breathing provide the oxygen needed for respiration.

Breathing

Cutaneous gas exchange

Very small animals and a few larger animals that live in moist environments use this type of gas exchange. Worms are an example.

Earthworms have capillaries right under their “skin.” To be able to exchange gases directly with their environment, earthworms must stay moist

Flatworm (planaria)

Tape worm (tenia o solitaria)

Why do cylindrical shape -as in earthworm-or flat shape -as in these examples here- are appropriated for cutaneous gas exchange?

Can animals with cutaneous gas exchange live in dry evironment?

Another cool amphibian

Axolotl salamander ( best known as the “Ajolote)Located in Mexican fresh waters; found in a variety of species.This specie maintain its gills through adulthood, remaining aquatic.

The frog is an animal which breathes through its skin as well as by using a pair of simple lungs. The graph below shows how much the frog uses these two different ways of breathing throughout the year.

Questions1. When does the frog use its lungs the most during the year?2. When does the frog use its lungs least during the year?3. Does the frog breathe in oxygen mostly through its skin or mostly through its lungs?4. Why do you think that the frog needs more oxygen in spring and why does it need so little oxygen in winter?
