Chapter 20 Unifying Concepts of Animal

Structure and Function

Lecture by Edward J. Zalisko

Introduction: Climbing the Walls

Spider-Man and geckos can climb walls


How do geckos do this?

– Gecko toes have many split ends called spatulae

– Molecules on the spatulae stick to the surface

THE HIERARCHY OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION

IN AN ANIMAL


20.1 Structure fits function at all levels of organization in the animal body

Anatomy—structure

Physiology—function

Animals consist of a hierarchy of levels or organization

20.2 EVOLUTION CONNECTION: An animal’s form reflects natural selection

Sharks, seals, and penguins have streamlined, tapered bodies

20.3 Tissues are groups of cells with a common structure and function


Animals have four main categories of tissues

– Epithelial tissue

– Connective tissue

– Muscle tissue

– Nervous tissue

20.4 Epithelial tissue covers the body and lines its organs and cavities

Epithelial cells come in three shapes

– Squamous—like a fried egg

– Cuboidal—as tall as they are wide

– Columnar—taller than they are wide

20.6 Muscle tissue functions in movement

Skeletal muscle causes voluntary movements

Cardiac muscle pumps blood

Smooth muscle moves walls of internal organs, such as the intestines

20.7 Nervous tissue forms a communication network

Neurons carry signals by conducting electrical impulses

Supporting cells insulate axons and nourish neurons

20.8 Organs are made up of tissues

Each tissue performs specific functions

The heart has epithelial, connective, and nervous tissues

– Epithelia line the heart chambers

– Connective tissues make the heart elastic

– Neurons regulate contractions

20.9 CONNECTION: Bioengineers are learning to produce tissues and organs for transplants


20.10 Organ systems work together to perform life’s functions

An organ system usually consists of many organs

Each organ system has one or more functions


Endocrine system controls body functions

Skeletal and muscular systems support and move the body

Circulatory system transports the food and oxygen

Respiratory system absorbs oxygen and releases carbon dioxide

Integumentary system covers and protects the body

20.11 CONNECTION: New imaging technology reveals the inner body

New technologies show body organs without surgery

X-rays help to see bones and teeth


Magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM)

– Provides three-dimensional images of very small structures



Positron-emission tomography (PET)

– Helps identify metabolic processes at specific body locations



20.12 The integumentary system protects the body

The skin consists of two layers

– Epidermis, at the surface

– Dermis, inner layer

Skin has many functions

– Epidermis

– Resists damage

– Decreases water loss

– Prevents penetration by microbes

– Dermis

– Sensory information

– Synthesis of vitamin D

– Temperature regulation

EXCHANGES WITH THE EXTERNAL

ENVIRONMENT


20.13 Structural adaptations enhance exchange between animals and their environment

Animals must exchange materials with the environment

Respiratory system exchanges gases

Digestive system acquires food and eliminates wastes

Excretory system eliminates metabolic waste

Homeostasis is an internal steady state

20.14 Animals regulate their internal environment

Largefluctuations

Humans promote homeostasis by

– Adding clothing when we are cold

– Drinking water when we are dehydrated

– Eating when our calories are running low

– Urinating when our bladders are full


20.14 Animals regulate their internal environment

Negative feedback mechanisms permit only small fluctuations around set points

20.15 Homeostasis depends on negative feedback

Sweat glands secrete sweat

that evaporates, cooling body

Blood vessels inskin dilate andheat escapes

Temperaturedecreases

Thermostat shuts offcooling mechanisms

Temperature risesabove normal

Temperature fallsbelow normal

Thermostat shuts offwarming mechanisms

Homeostasis:

Internal body temperature

of approximately 36–38°C

Temperatureincreases

Blood vessels in skinconstrict, minimizingheat loss

Skeletal muscles

rapidly contract,

causing shivering,

which generates heat
