Q & A
What are the functions of gills in fish and some amphibians?
-Gills are the paired respiratory organs of fish and some amphibians that extract oxygen from water flowing over their surfaces. They allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, with deoxygenated blood moving into the secondary lamellae where oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is released.
How does the respiratory system in fish differ from that in mammals?
-Fish have a single circuit of blood flow in their circulatory system, where blood flows directly from the gills to the capillaries without passing through the heart. In contrast, mammals have a double circulatory system with two separate circuits for pulmonary and systemic circulation.
What is the role of the trachea in the respiratory system?
-The trachea is a large membranous tube that extends from the larynx to the bronchial tubes, conveying air to and from the lungs. It is essential for gas exchange in organisms, allowing oxygen to reach the cells and carbon dioxide to be expelled.
How does gas exchange occur in insects through their tracheal system?
-Insects use a system of tracheae, which branch into every cell in their body, allowing oxygen and water to diffuse in and carbon dioxide to diffuse out. The movement of air is facilitated through passive diffusion or active ventilation, depending on the size of the insect.
What is the significance of the digestive system's physical and chemical digestion?
-Physical digestion involves the mechanical breakdown of food through processes like chewing and the action of the tongue, while chemical digestion involves the enzymatic breakdown of food into simpler molecules. This dual process increases the surface area for nutrients to be absorbed and prepares food for absorption in the small intestine.
How do xylem and phloem contribute to the transport of substances in plants?
-Xylem vessels are responsible for the transport of water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem tissue transports sugars and other organic molecules produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
What is the difference between xylem vessels and tracheids in plants?
-Xylem vessels are long water-filled tubes consisting of elongated cells joined end to end, which, upon maturing, lose their nucleus and cytoplasm to form continuous tubes for water transport. Tracheids, on the other hand, are not connected end to end but have overlapping ends with water transferred through pits.
Can you explain the structure and function of sieve tubes in phloem tissue?
-Sieve tubes in phloem tissue are composed of living cells with thin cell walls that are perforated by pores, forming sieve plates. They work in conjunction with companion cells to transport organic molecules, such as sugars, throughout the plant.
What is the role of the dorsal vessel in insects?
-The dorsal vessel in insects is a tube running longitudinally that is responsible for transporting materials from the abdomen to the head. It is divided into chambers called ostia, which contract to push the material forward.
How does the circulatory system in insects differ from that in fish?
-Insects have an open circulatory system where nutrients dissolve directly into the hemolymph and travel to tissues, rather than remaining in blood vessels. This is different from fish, which have a closed circulatory system with a single circuit of blood flow.
Outlines
🐟 Fish Respiratory and Circulatory Systems
This paragraph delves into the respiratory and circulatory systems of fish and some amphibians. It explains how gills, as paired respiratory organs, extract oxygen from water flowing over their surfaces. The process involves water entering through the gill slits, where deoxygenated blood moves into secondary lamellae. Oxygen is then absorbed into the blood, and carbon dioxide is released. The heart pumps the oxygenated blood back into the fish's system. The paragraph also touches on the trachea, a membranous tube that extends from the larynx to the bronchial tubes, facilitating gas exchange in insects and some other organisms. The trachea allows for direct gas exchange with the cells, differing from the closed system in mammals. The discussion also includes the role of the digestive system in breaking down food and the movement of nutrients and waste products within the body.
🌿 Xylem and Phloem Structures in Plants
The second paragraph focuses on the structural components of plants, specifically the xylem and phloem. Xylem is described as long, water-filled tubes made up of elongated cells joined end-to-end. As these cells mature, they strengthen with lignin and lose their cytoplasm and nucleus, creating hollow tubes for water transport. The xylem vessels have perforations at each end, allowing fluid to flow directly through. In contrast, phloem tissue is composed of sieve tubes, companion cells, parenchyma cells, and sclereids. Sieve tubes are living cells that transport molecules with the help of companion cells. Parenchyma cells provide structure, while sclereids offer support to the phloem. The paragraph highlights the differences between xylem and phloem, emphasizing the unique characteristics and functions of each component within the vascular system of plants.
🐠 Comparative Circulatory Systems in Animals
The final paragraph compares the circulatory systems of fish and mammals, highlighting the differences in their structures and functions. Fish are described as having a single circuit of blood flow, where blood goes directly from the gills to the capillaries without passing through the heart. This is in contrast to mammals, which have a double circulatory system. The paragraph also discusses the open circulatory system in insects, where nutrients dissolve directly into the body's tissues rather than being confined to blood vessels. It describes the dorsal vessel in insects, which is responsible for transporting materials from the abdomen to the head, and the aorta, which distributes these materials throughout the organism. The paragraph emphasizes the importance of understanding the variations in circulatory systems across different types of animals.

[Music]
um where we're going to look at nutrient
and gas requirements so we're going to
look at the xylem and phloem we're going
to look at respiratory
um systems in different organized
organisms and circulatory systems and
different organisms as well
okay moving on to the gills so the
paired
respiratory organ of fish and some
amphibians by which oxygen is extracted
from water flowing over surfaces within
or attached to the pharynx
right so we're looking at the walls of
appearance then we're going from there
so
um water flows into the gills uh into
the gill slits of in the side of the
fish
um so if you've seen a fish before in
the structure of it you know that
they've got gills on the side and then
deoxygenated blood moves into a
secondary lamellae in preparation for
the water to flow in
then we've got oxygen is then absorbed
from the water into the lamelli which
moves into the blood and then carbon
dioxide is released
okay so like in humans blood is then
pumped back in to the fish
um using the heart so in that way it's
similar to humans
um we've then got the high essay
increases the rate of the gas exchange
so that is a macroscopic gas exchange
and we can see the diagram there of the
gills
moving on
we've then got the trachea so we're
looking at a large membranous tube
extending from the larynx to the bronch
to the bronchial tubes and conveying air
to and from the lungs the windpipe
essentially so that is another form of
gas exchange we see that macroscopic we
can see outside insect and inside index
we've got the trachea we've got the
spherical and we can go from there
gas exchange occurs directly onto the
cells of the organism versus closed
okay so blood and interstitial fluid so
the fluid that surrounds the cells is
pumped into different vessels so in
insects air flows through a small
opening in the body called sphericals
right so that's where the actual air
comes in from
uh it then goes into the trachea
um and and then into the small branching
structures
okay and we can see them here so it goes
into the trachea here and then it goes
into the smaller structures that you can
see here
into the cells the tracheals branch into
every cell in their body allowing oxygen
and water to diffuse in and um carbon
dioxide 2 diffuse out okay so the
movement of air occurs through passive
diffusion like we we went through
over here passive movement of materials
diffusion
and um or active ventilation where
larger insects contract the internal
organs and abdomen to force air out so
it just depends on the size of the
insect as well
so something to consider sorry something
to consider there
digestive system so we've got the mouth
which is physical digestion so teeth to
tongue shapes food increases essay for
chemical digestion so their enzymes sort
of break down the starch they sort of
begin that breakdown so enzymes are
known to break down that starch and then
we've got the esophagus we've got the
bolus so we've got uh the breakdown of
starch then continues through the
epiglottis then blocks the respiratory
system
we've got the stomach we've got of
course physical digestion so sometimes
you hear your stomach churning that's
what it's doing is digesting it's
relaxing you've got gastric juices that
combine with the food
and then you've got macromolecules which
actually which are broken down into
their building blocks
we've got the small intestine
which we move down into the small
intestine
and what we've got is three regions
um so the the time from the stomach
causes the release of pancreatic juices
and a large intestine aids with the
absorption of the nutrients and converts
the food and then it comes out through
your feces
um so beneficial bacteria in the large
intestine actually helps to digest these
substances and some substances such as
water and ions are released and used for
metabolism
so that is sort of a summary of what is
actually involved in the digestive
system
so hopefully that is making sense
okay so the remainder of the digested
material will then
um from the small intestine which is
over here
oh sorry
which is over here will then move into a
large intestine which is over here
so this includes water salts dietary
fiber whatever
um so vitamins A and K are then produced
by large by the large also get absorbed
into the bloodstream so there you go
that's the sort of summary of the
digestive system moving on to the xylem
structure
xylem's vessels are long water-filled
tubes consisting of elongated cells
joined end to end so as the cell matures
um the cell wall is strengthened with
lignin which makes them more rigid than
they were so over time when it matures
it sort of gets more rigid the cytoplasm
and nucleus in the xylem vessel cells
um then disintegrate and the cells die
right so the creatine Hollow lignin
tubes
mature xylem vessels so perforated or
complete openings at each end kind of
like a straw so that fluid can flow
directly through it so we've got pits
which are unthickened areas and
perforations in the side walls allow
sideways movement of substances between
neighboring vessels in the vascular
bundle
right so no nucleus or cytoplasm exists
here
so the records
um are single large tapering
water-filled cells that form part of the
xylem tissue in all vascular plants so
when mature they lose their nucleus and
cytoplasm so this leads to the cell
death but creates an open structure for
water to flow through it
then we've got mature records so
cylindrical skeletons of dead cells
actually join together to form
continuous tubes
so unlike xylem vessels the trekids are
not connected end to end
um and so instead their ends overlap and
water is transferred horizontally
through adjoining pits
so those are some of the the key terms
that we need to understand in the xylem
structure
moving on to the phloem structure so
phloem tissue is composed of the sieve
tubes the companion cells the parenchyma
cells and the sclerenchymus uh
sclerenclema keema cells as well so
we've got the phloem structure
as we can see over here
unlike xylem cells the mature phloem
saves tubes are living cells so they
with no nucleus or no lignin in their
cell walls so that's a difference right
you want to understand the difference
between the two because you may be asked
that in an exam sea of tubes form linear
rows
of elongated cells their cell walls are
thin
um and perforated by eat at each end by
holes or pores which forms sieve plates
so the plasma Destin
pass through the perforations of the
sieve tubes and they act like straws
through which water and other materials
can actually move
so it's very interesting how it actually
differs from the xylem structure and
what the different elements are
so let's go through definitions so sieve
tubes they provide structural support
work with companion cells to transport
the molecules
as we talked about companion cells they
enable transportation of these sugars
um then we've got the parenchyma cells
which provide structure to the vascular
tissue
this clearing chemo cells provide
um structural support to the um actual
phloem and the plasma desmada cells
enable the transport of the actual
molecules so each one has a structure
and it's important to memorize and
understand what each structure is and
how to approach it
so macroscopic structures in animals
looking at fish so single Circuit of
blood flow so blood flows from the gills
straight to the capillaries rather than
passing through the heart versus in
mammals who have a double cycle
circulatory system
so understanding in different types of
animals what the different types of
systems are
so the heart has two Chambers so blood
is pumped to the gills for gas exchange
versus lungs so this enables fish to
regulate one circuit of blood flow so
you can see
capillaries the hearts the body
capillaries the water and the blood
within the fish
it's a single circulatory system
compared to the double
so open circulatory system this
essentially means that they have
dissolved nutrients that travel directly
to tissues rather than remaining in
blood vessels right so the heart you've
got back end of the dorsal vessel okay
um divided into the chambers called the
ostia and the contract to push it
forward
okay so we can see the dorsal vessel as
a tube running longitudinally in the
insect
which is responsible for transporting
the material from the abdomen to the
Head
and then we've got the aorta which is
the front part of the dorsal vessel okay
um tube leading to the Head where it
empties
and then we've got after emptying it
freely travels through the organism
so it's important to have a look and
sort of see so we've got the austere
over here the heart over here the dorsal
diaphragm over there so just
understanding where everything is in the
insect as well
all right
