Organ Systems
• Communication and integration
– detect external stimuli, coordinate the body’s responses
• Support and movement

Organ Systems
• Regulation and maintenance
– regulate and maintain the body’s chemistry

Organ Systems
• Defense
• Reproduction and development
– In females, also nurtures developing embryo/fetus

Hierarchical Organization of Body Plans
• Vertebrates have a “tube within a tube” structure
• Levels or organiziation: smallest  largest?

Tissue Structure and Function
• Tissues are classified into four main categories:
epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
Humans: 210 different cell types – can you name them?! ;) 10

40 µm
Epithelial cells are attached to a basal lamina at their base.
12
Connective Tissue
• 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
There are six main types of connective tissue.

Muscle Tissue
• Muscle tissue consists of long cells called muscle fibers,
which contract in response to nerve signals
• It is divided in the vertebrate body into three types:
– Skeletal muscle, or striated muscle, is responsible for
voluntary movement
– Smooth muscle is responsible for involuntary body
activities
– Cardiac muscle is responsible for contraction of the
heart

Tissue Structure and Function
Nervous Tissue
• Nervous tissue senses stimuli and transmits signals 40 µm
throughout the animal
Dendrites
• Nervous tissue contains:
Neurons, or
nerve cells,
transmit
nerve
impulses
Glial cells, or
glia, help
nourish,
insulate, and

neurons

Feedback control loops maintain the internal
environment in many animals
Response:

Examples of negative
and positive feedback?
Stimulus:

reads too hot

Feedback control loops maintain the internal
environment in many animals
• Animals manage
their internal
environment by
regulating or
conforming to the
external environment
Feedback control loops maintain the internal
environment in many animals
• Thermoregulation: process
by which animals maintain
an internal temperature
• Endothermic animals
generate heat by
metabolism (birds and
mammals)
• Ectothermic animals gain
heat from external sources
(invertebrates, fishes,
amphibians, and nonavian reptiles)
(a) A walrus, an endotherm
(b) A lizard, an ectotherm
22
Balancing Heat Loss and Gain
• Five general adaptations
help animals
thermoregulate:
– Insulation
– Circulatory adaptations
– Cooling by evaporative
heat loss
– Behavioral responses
– Adjusting metabolic heat
production

Energy Allocation and Use
External
environment
• Bioenergetics:
overall flow of
energy in an animal
• Determines how
much food is
needed due to
animal’s size,
activity, and
environment

Heat
Energy Use
• Metabolic rate is the amount of energy an animal uses in
a unit of time
Measured by
amount of
oxygen
consumed or
carbon dioxide
produced
• Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the metabolic rate of an
endotherm at rest at a “comfortable” temperature

• Torpor is a physiological state in which activity is low and
metabolism decreases – allows animals to save energy
while avoiding difficult and dangerous conditions
• Hibernation is long-term torpor that is an adaptation to
winter cold and food scarcity

Things To Do After Lecture 9…
Reading and Preparation:
1.
Re-read today’s lecture, highlight all vocabulary you do not
understand, and look up terms.
2.
Ch. 40 Self-Quiz: #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (correct answers in back of book)
3.
Read chapter 40, focus on material covered in lecture (terms,
concepts, and figures!)
4.
Skim next lecture.
“HOMEWORK” (NOT COLLECTED – but things to think about for studying):
1.
Describe the relationship between surface area and volume for a small
cell compared to a large cell. Which is more efficient at exchange with
the environment?
2.
List the four types of tissues in animals – for each one, give several
examples.
3.
Define basal metabolic rate. Which would use more energy for
homeostatic regulation, a human or a snake? Why?
4.
Explain the difference between torpor and hibernation.
