Overview: Trading Places
• Every organism must exchange materials with its
environment
• Exchanges ultimately occur at the cellular level by
crossing the plasma membrane
• In unicellular organisms, these exchanges occur
directly with the environment
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• For most cells making up multicellular organisms,
direct exchange with the environment is not
possible
• Gills are an example of a specialized exchange
system in animals
– O2 diffuses from the water into blood vessels
– CO2 diffuses from blood into the water
• Internal transport and gas exchange are
functionally related in most animals
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 42.1
Concept 42.1: Circulatory systems link
exchange surfaces with cells throughout
the body
• Diffusion time is proportional to the square of the
distance
• Diffusion is only efficient over small distances
• In small and/or thin animals, cells can exchange
materials directly with the surrounding medium
• In most animals, cells exchange materials with the
environment via a fluid-filled circulatory system
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Gastrovascular Cavities
• Some animals lack a circulatory system
• Some cnidarians, such as jellies, have elaborate
gastrovascular cavities
• A gastrovascular cavity functions in both digestion
and distribution of substances throughout the body
• The body wall that encloses the gastrovascular
cavity is only two cells thick
• Flatworms have a gastrovascular cavity and a
large surface area to volume ratio

Evolutionary Variation in Circulatory
Systems
• A circulatory system minimizes the diffusion
distance in animals with many cell layers
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
General Properties of Circulatory Systems
• A circulatory system has
– A circulatory fluid
– A set of interconnecting vessels
– A muscular pump, the heart
• The circulatory system connects the fluid that
surrounds cells with the organs that exchange
gases, absorb nutrients, and dispose of wastes
• Circulatory systems can be open or closed and
vary in the number of circuits in the body
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Open and Closed Circulatory Systems
• In insects, other arthropods, and most molluscs,
blood bathes the organs directly in an open
circulatory system
• In an open circulatory system, there is no
distinction between blood and interstitial fluid, and
this general body fluid is called hemolymph

• In a closed circulatory system, blood is
confined to vessels and is distinct from the
interstitial fluid
• Closed systems are more efficient at transporting
circulatory fluids to tissues and cells
• Annelids, cephalopods, and vertebrates have
closed circulatory systems

Organization of Vertebrate Circulatory
Systems
• Humans and other vertebrates have a closed
circulatory system called the cardiovascular
system
• The three main types of blood vessels are arteries,
veins, and capillaries
• Blood flow is one way in these vessels
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Arteries branch into arterioles and carry blood
away from the heart to capillaries
• Networks of capillaries called capillary beds are
the sites of chemical exchange between the blood
and interstitial fluid
• Venules converge into veins and return blood
from capillaries to the heart
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Arteries and veins are distinguished by the
direction of blood flow, not by O2 content
• Vertebrate hearts contain two or more chambers
• Blood enters through an atrium and is pumped
out through a ventricle
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Single Circulation
• Bony fishes, rays, and sharks have single
circulation with a two-chambered heart
• In single circulation, blood leaving the heart
passes through two capillary beds before returning

Oxygen-poor blood
• In reptiles and mammals, oxygen-poor blood flows
through the pulmonary circuit to pick up oxygen
through the lungs
• In amphibians, oxygen-poor blood flows through a
pulmocutaneous circuit to pick up oxygen
through the lungs and skin
• Oxygen-rich blood delivers oxygen through the
systemic circuit
• Double circulation maintains higher blood pressure
in the organs than does single circulation
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Adaptations of Double Circulatory Systems
• Hearts vary in different vertebrate groups
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Amphibians
• Frogs and other amphibians have a threechambered heart: two atria and one ventricle
• The ventricle pumps blood into a forked artery that
splits the ventricle’s output into the
pulmocutaneous circuit and the systemic circuit
• When underwater, blood flow to the lungs is nearly
shut off

• Mammals and birds have a four-chambered heart
with two atria and two ventricles
• The left side of the heart pumps and receives only
oxygen-rich blood, while the right side receives
and pumps only oxygen-poor blood
• Mammals and birds are endotherms and require
more O2 than ectotherms

Concept 42.2: Coordinated cycles of heart
contraction drive double circulation in
mammals
• The mammalian cardiovascular system meets the
body’s continuous demand for O2
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Mammalian Circulation
• Blood begins its flow with the right ventricle
pumping blood to the lungs
• In the lungs, the blood loads O2 and unloads CO2
• Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs enters the heart
at the left atrium and is pumped through the aorta
to the body tissues by the left ventricle
• The aorta provides blood to the heart through the
coronary arteries
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Blood returns to the heart through the superior
vena cava (blood from head, neck, and forelimbs)
and inferior vena cava (blood from trunk and hind
limbs)
• The superior vena cava and inferior vena cava
flow into the right atrium

• The heart contracts and relaxes in a rhythmic
cycle called the cardiac cycle
• The contraction, or pumping, phase is called
systole
• The relaxation, or filling, phase is called diastole

• The heart rate, also called the pulse, is the
number of beats per minute
• The stroke volume is the amount of blood
pumped in a single contraction
• The cardiac output is the volume of blood
pumped into the systemic circulation per minute
and depends on both the heart rate and stroke
volume
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Four valves prevent backflow of blood in the heart
• The atrioventricular (AV) valves separate each
atrium and ventricle
• The semilunar valves control blood flow to the
aorta and the pulmonary artery
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• The “lub-dup” sound of a heart beat is caused by
the recoil of blood against the AV valves (lub) then
against the semilunar (dup) valves
• Backflow of blood through a defective valve
causes a heart murmur
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Maintaining the Heart’s Rhythmic Beat
• Some cardiac muscle cells are self-excitable,
meaning they contract without any signal from the
nervous system
• The sinoatrial (SA) node, or pacemaker, sets the
rate and timing at which cardiac muscle cells
contract
• Impulses that travel during the cardiac cycle can
be recorded as an electrocardiogram (ECG or
EKG)

Purkinje
fibers
• Impulses from the SA node travel to the
atrioventricular (AV) node
• At the AV node, the impulses are delayed and
then travel to the Purkinje fibers that make the
ventricles contract
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• The pacemaker is regulated by two portions of the
nervous system: the sympathetic and
parasympathetic divisions
• The sympathetic division speeds up the
pacemaker
• The parasympathetic division slows down the
pacemaker
• The pacemaker is also regulated by hormones
and temperature
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Concept 42.3: Patterns of blood pressure and
flow reflect the structure and arrangement
of blood vessels
• The physical principles that govern
movement of water in plumbing systems also
influence the functioning of animal circulatory
systems
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Vessel Structure and Function
• A vessel’s cavity is called the central lumen
• The epithelial layer that lines blood vessels is
called the endothelium
• The endothelium is smooth and minimizes
resistance

• Capillaries have thin walls, the endothelium plus
its basal lamina, to facilitate the exchange of
materials
• Arteries and veins have an endothelium, smooth
muscle, and connective tissue
• Arteries have thicker walls than veins to
accommodate the high pressure of blood pumped
from the heart
• In the thinner-walled veins, blood flows back to the
heart mainly as a result of muscle action
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Flow Velocity
• Physical laws governing movement of fluids
through pipes affect blood flow and blood pressure
• Velocity of blood flow is slowest in the capillary
beds, as a result of the high resistance and large
total cross-sectional area
• Blood flow in capillaries is necessarily slow for
exchange of materials

Blood Pressure
• Blood flows from areas of higher pressure to areas
of lower pressure
• Blood pressure is the pressure that blood exerts
against the wall of a vessel
• In rigid vessels blood pressure is maintained; less
rigid vessels deform and blood pressure is lost
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Changes in Blood Pressure During the
Cardiac Cycle
• Systolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries
during ventricular systole; it is the highest pressure
in the arteries
• Diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries
during diastole; it is lower than systolic pressure
• A pulse is the rhythmic bulging of artery walls with
each heartbeat
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Regulation of Blood Pressure
• Blood pressure is determined by cardiac output
and peripheral resistance due to constriction of
arterioles
• Vasoconstriction is the contraction of smooth
muscle in arteriole walls; it increases blood
pressure
• Vasodilation is the relaxation of smooth muscles
in the arterioles; it causes blood pressure to fall
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Vasoconstriction and vasodilation help maintain
adequate blood flow as the body’s demands
change
• Nitric oxide is a major inducer of vasodilation
• The peptide endothelin is an important inducer of
vasoconstriction
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Pressure and Gravity
• Blood pressure is generally measured for an artery
in the arm at the same height as the heart
• Blood pressure for a healthy 20-year-old at rest is
120 mm Hg at systole and 70 mm Hg at diastole

• Fainting is caused by inadequate blood flow to the
head
• Animals with longer necks require a higher systolic
pressure to pump blood a greater distance against
gravity
• Blood is moved through veins by smooth muscle
contraction, skeletal muscle contraction, and
expansion of the vena cava with inhalation
• One-way valves in veins prevent backflow of blood

Capillary Function
• Blood flows through only 510% of the body’s
capillaries at a time
• Capillaries in major organs are usually filled to
capacity
• Blood supply varies in many other sites
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Two mechanisms regulate distribution of blood in
capillary beds
– Contraction of the smooth muscle layer in the wall
of an arteriole constricts the vessel
– Precapillary sphincters control flow of blood
between arterioles and venules
• Blood flow is regulated by nerve impulses,
hormones, and other chemicals

Venule
Venule
• The exchange of substances between the blood
and interstitial fluid takes place across the thin
endothelial walls of the capillaries
• The difference between blood pressure and
osmotic pressure drives fluids out of capillaries at
the arteriole end and into capillaries at the venule
end
• Most blood proteins and all blood cells are too
large to pass through the endothelium

Fluid Return by the Lymphatic System
• The lymphatic system returns fluid that leaks out
from the capillary beds
• Fluid, called lymph, reenters the circulation
directly at the venous end of the capillary bed and
indirectly through the lymphatic system
• The lymphatic system drains into veins in the neck
• Valves in lymph vessels prevent the backflow of
fluid
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Lymph nodes are organs that filter lymph and
play an important role in the body’s defense
• Edema is swelling caused by disruptions in the
flow of lymph
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 42.16
Concept 42.4: Blood components contribute
to exchange, transport, and defense
• With open circulation, the fluid that is pumped
comes into direct contact with all cells
• The closed circulatory systems of vertebrates
contain blood, a specialized connective tissue
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Composition and Function
• Blood consists of several kinds of cells suspended
in a liquid matrix called plasma
• The cellular elements occupy about 45% of the
volume of blood

Plasma
• Blood plasma is about 90% water
• Among its solutes are inorganic salts in the form of
dissolved ions, sometimes called electrolytes
• Another important class of solutes is the plasma
proteins, which influence blood pH, osmotic
pressure, and viscosity
• Various plasma proteins function in lipid transport,
immunity, and blood clotting
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Cellular Elements
• Suspended in blood plasma are two types of cells
– Red blood cells (erythrocytes) transport oxygen O2
– White blood cells (leukocytes) function in defense
• Platelets, a third cellular element, are fragments of
cells that are involved in clotting
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Erythrocytes
• Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, are by far the
most numerous blood cells
• They contain hemoglobin, the iron-containing
protein that transports O2
• Each molecule of hemoglobin binds up to four
molecules of O2
• In mammals, mature erythrocytes lack nuclei and
mitochondria
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Sickle-cell disease is caused by abnormal
hemoglobin proteins that form aggregates
• The aggregates can deform an erythrocyte into a
sickle shape
• Sickled cells can rupture or block blood vessels
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Leukocytes
• There are five major types of white blood cells, or
leukocytes: monocytes, neutrophils, basophils,
eosinophils, and lymphocytes
• They function in defense by phagocytizing bacteria
and debris or by producing antibodies
• They are found both in and outside of the
circulatory system
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Platelets
• Platelets are fragments of cells and function in
blood clotting
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Clotting
• Coagulation is the formation of a solid clot from
liquid blood
• A cascade of complex reactions converts inactive
fibrinogen to fibrin, forming a clot
• A blood clot formed within a blood vessel is called
a thrombus and can block blood flow

Stem Cells and the Replacement of Cellular
Elements
• The cellular elements of blood wear out and are
being replaced constantly
• Erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets all develop
from a common source of stem cells in the red
marrow of bones, especially ribs, vertebrae,
sternum, and pelvis
• The hormone erythropoietin (EPO) stimulates
erythrocyte production when O2 delivery is low

Cardiovascular Disease
• Cardiovascular diseases are disorders of the heart
and the blood vessels
• Cardiovascular diseases account for more than
half the deaths in the United States
• Cholesterol, a steroid, helps maintain membrane
fluidity
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) delivers
cholesterol to cells for membrane production
• High-density lipoprotein (HDL) scavenges
cholesterol for return to the liver
• Risk for heart disease increases with a high LDL
to HDL ratio
• Inflammation is also a factor in cardiovascular
disease
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Atherosclerosis, Heart Attacks, and Stroke
• One type of cardiovascular disease,
atherosclerosis, is caused by the buildup of
plaque deposits within arteries

• A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, is the
death of cardiac muscle tissue resulting from
blockage of one or more coronary arteries
• Coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the
heart muscle
• A stroke is the death of nervous tissue in the
brain, usually resulting from rupture or blockage of
arteries in the head
• Angina pectoris is caused by partial blockage of
the coronary arteries and results in chest pains
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Risk Factors and Treatment of
Cardiovascular Disease
• A high LDL to HDL ratio increases the risk of
cardiovascular disease
• The proportion of LDL relative to HDL can be
decreased by exercise, not smoking, and avoiding
foods with trans fats
• Drugs called statins reduce LDL levels and risk of
heart attacks

• Inflammation plays a role in atherosclerosis and
thrombus formation
• Aspirin inhibits inflammation and reduces the risk
of heart attacks and stroke
• Hypertension, or high blood pressure, promotes
atherosclerosis and increases the risk of heart
attack and stroke
• Hypertension can be reduced by dietary changes,
exercise, and/or medication

Concept 42.5: Gas exchange occurs across
specialized respiratory surfaces
• Gas exchange supplies O2 for cellular respiration
and disposes of CO2
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Partial Pressure Gradients in Gas Exchange
• A gas diffuses from a region of higher partial
pressure to a region of lower partial pressure
• Partial pressure is the pressure exerted by a
particular gas in a mixture of gases
• Gases diffuse down pressure gradients in the
lungs and other organs as a result of differences in
partial pressure
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Respiratory Media
• Animals can use air or water as a source of O2, or
respiratory medium
• In a given volume, there is less O2 available in
water than in air
• Obtaining O2 from water requires greater
efficiency than air breathing
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Respiratory Surfaces
• Animals require large, moist respiratory surfaces
for exchange of gases between their cells and the
respiratory medium, either air or water
• Gas exchange across respiratory surfaces takes
place by diffusion
• Respiratory surfaces vary by animal and can
include the outer surface, skin, gills, tracheae, and
lungs
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Gills in Aquatic Animals
• Gills are outfoldings of the body that create a large
surface area for gas exchange

• Ventilation moves the respiratory medium over
the respiratory surface
• Aquatic animals move through water or move
water over their gills for ventilation
• Fish gills use a countercurrent exchange
system, where blood flows in the opposite
direction to water passing over the gills; blood is
always less saturated with O2 than the water it
meets

Tracheal Systems in Insects
• The tracheal system of insects consists of tiny
branching tubes that penetrate the body
• The tracheal tubes supply O2 directly to body cells
• The respiratory and circulatory systems are
separate
• Larger insects must ventilate their tracheal system
to meet O2 demands

Lungs
• Lungs are an infolding of the body surface
• The circulatory system (open or closed) transports
gases between the lungs and the rest of the body
• The size and complexity of lungs correlate with an
animal’s metabolic rate
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Mammalian Respiratory Systems: A Closer
Look
• A system of branching ducts conveys air to the
lungs
• Air inhaled through the nostrils is warmed,
humidified, and sampled for odors
• The pharynx directs air to the lungs and food to
the stomach
• Swallowing tips the epiglottis over the glottis in the
pharynx to prevent food from entering the trachea

enveloping alveoli (SEM)
• Air passes through the pharynx, larynx, trachea,
bronchi, and bronchioles to the alveoli, where
gas exchange occurs
• Exhaled air passes over the vocal cords in the
larynx to create sounds
• Cilia and mucus line the epithelium of the air ducts
and move particles up to the pharynx
• This “mucus escalator” cleans the respiratory
system and allows particles to be swallowed into
the esophagus
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Gas exchange takes place in alveoli, air sacs at
the tips of bronchioles
• Oxygen diffuses through the moist film of the
epithelium and into capillaries
• Carbon dioxide diffuses from the capillaries across
the epithelium and into the air space
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Alveoli lack cilia and are susceptible to
contamination
• Secretions called surfactants coat the surface of
the alveoli
• Preterm babies lack surfactant and are vulnerable
to respiratory distress syndrome; treatment is
provided by artificial surfactants

Concept 42.6: Breathing ventilates the lungs
• The process that ventilates the lungs is breathing,
the alternate inhalation and exhalation of air
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
How an Amphibian Breathes
• An amphibian such as a frog ventilates its lungs by
positive pressure breathing, which forces air
down the trachea
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
How a Bird Breathes
• Birds have eight or nine air sacs that function as
bellows that keep air flowing through the lungs
• Air passes through the lungs in one direction only
• Every exhalation completely renews the air in the
lungs

How a Mammal Breathes
• Mammals ventilate their lungs by negative
pressure breathing, which pulls air into the lungs
• Lung volume increases as the rib muscles and
diaphragm contract
• The tidal volume is the volume of air inhaled with
each breath

• The maximum tidal volume is the vital capacity
• After exhalation, a residual volume of air remains
in the lungs

Control of Breathing in Humans
• In humans, the main breathing control centers
are in two regions of the brain, the medulla
oblongata and the pons
• The medulla regulates the rate and depth of
breathing in response to pH changes in the
cerebrospinal fluid
• The medulla adjusts breathing rate and depth to
match metabolic demands
• The pons regulates the tempo
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Sensors in the aorta and carotid arteries monitor
O2 and CO2 concentrations in the blood
• These sensors exert secondary control over
breathing

Concept 42.7: Adaptations for gas exchange
include pigments that bind and transport
gases
• The metabolic demands of many organisms
require that the blood transport large quantities of
O2 and CO2
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Coordination of Circulation and Gas
Exchange
• Blood arriving in the lungs has a low partial
pressure of O2 and a high partial pressure of CO2
relative to air in the alveoli
• In the alveoli, O2 diffuses into the blood and CO2
diffuses into the air
• In tissue capillaries, partial pressure gradients
favor diffusion of O2 into the interstitial fluids and
CO2 into the blood

Respiratory Pigments
• Respiratory pigments, proteins that transport
oxygen, greatly increase the amount of oxygen
that blood can carry
• Arthropods and many molluscs have hemocyanin
with copper as the oxygen-binding component
• Most vertebrates and some invertebrates use
hemoglobin
• In vertebrates, hemoglobin is contained within
erythrocytes
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Hemoglobin
• A single hemoglobin molecule can carry four
molecules of O2, one molecule for each ironcontaining heme group
• The hemoglobin dissociation curve shows that a
small change in the partial pressure of oxygen can
result in a large change in delivery of O2
• CO2 produced during cellular respiration lowers
blood pH and decreases the affinity of hemoglobin
for O2; this is called the Bohr shift

Carbon Dioxide Transport
• Hemoglobin also helps transport CO2 and assists
in buffering the blood
• CO2 from respiring cells diffuses into the blood
and is transported in blood plasma, bound to
hemoglobin, or as bicarbonate ions (HCO3–)

Respiratory Adaptations of Diving Mammals
• Diving mammals have evolutionary adaptations
that allow them to perform extraordinary feats
– For example, Weddell seals in Antarctica can
remain underwater for 20 minutes to an hour
– For example, elephant seals can dive to 1,500 m
and remain underwater for 2 hours
• These animals have a high blood to body volume
ratio
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Deep-diving air breathers stockpile O2 and deplete
it slowly
• Diving mammals can store oxygen in their
muscles in myoglobin proteins
• Diving mammals also conserve oxygen by
– Changing their buoyancy to glide passively
– Decreasing blood supply to muscles
– Deriving ATP in muscles from fermentation once
oxygen is depleted
