Basic Principles of Animal Form and Function
Page 2
Overview: Diverse Forms, Common Challenges
• Anatomy is the study of the biological form of an organism
• Physiology is the study of the biological functions an organism performs
• The comparative study of animals reveals that form and function are closely correlated
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 4
Concept 40.1: Animal form and function are correlated at all levels of organization
• Size and shape affect the way an animal interacts with its environment
• Many different animal body plans have evolved and are determined by the genome
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 5
Physical Constraints on Animal Size and Shape
• The ability to perform certain actions depends on an animal’s shape, size, and environment
• Evolutionary convergence reflects different species’ adaptations to a similar environmental challenge
• Physical laws impose constraints on animal size and shape

Exchange with the Environment
• An animal’s size and shape directly affect how it exchanges energy and materials with its surroundings
• Exchange occurs as substances dissolved in the aqueous medium diffuse and are transported across the cells’ plasma membranes
• A single-celled protist living in water has a sufficient surface area of plasma membrane to service its entire volume of cytoplasm

• In vertebrates, the space between cells is filled with interstitial fluid, which allows for the movement of material into and out of cells
• A complex body plan helps an animal in a variable environment to maintain a relatively stable internal environment
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 17
• Most animals are composed of specialized cells organized into tissues that have different functions
• Tissues make up organs, which together make up organ systems
Hierarchical Organization of Body Plans
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 19
• Different tissues have different structures that are suited to their functions
• Tissues are classified into four main categories: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
Tissue Structure and Function
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 20
Epithelial Tissue
• Epithelial tissue covers the outside of the body and lines the organs and cavities within the body
• It contains cells that are closely joined
• The shape of epithelial cells may be cuboidal (like dice), columnar (like bricks on end), or squamous (like floor tiles)
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 21
• The arrangement of epithelial cells may be simple (single cell layer), stratified (multiple tiers of cells), or pseudostratified (a single layer of cells of varying length)

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
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 25
• There are three types of connective tissue fiber, all made of protein:
– Collagenous fibers provide strength and flexibility
– Elastic fibers stretch and snap back to their original length
– Reticular fibers join connective tissue to adjacent tissues
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 26
• Connective tissue contains cells, including
– Fibroblasts that secrete the protein of extracellular fibers
– Macrophages that are involved in the immune system
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 27
• In vertebrates, the fibers and foundation combine to form six major types of connective tissue:
– Loose connective tissue binds epithelia to underlying tissues and holds organs in place
– Cartilage is a strong and flexible support material
– Fibrous connective tissue is found in tendons, which attach muscles to bones, and ligaments, which connect bones at joints
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 28
– Adipose tissue stores fat for insulation and fuel
– Blood is composed of blood cells and cell fragments in blood plasma
– Bone is mineralized and forms the skeleton

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

• Nervous tissue senses stimuli and transmits signals throughout the animal
• Nervous tissue contains:
– Neurons, or nerve cells, that transmit nerve impulses
– Glial cells, or glia, that help nourish, insulate, and replenish neurons

Coordination and Control
• Control and coordination within a body depend on the endocrine system and the nervous system
• The endocrine system transmits chemical signals called hormones to receptive cells throughout the body via blood
• A hormone may affect one or more regions throughout the body
• Hormones are relatively slow acting, but can have long-lasting effects

Concept 40.2: Feedback control loops maintain the internal environment in many animals
• Animals manage their internal environment by regulating or conforming to the external environment
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 51
• A regulator uses internal control mechanisms to moderate internal change in the face of external, environmental fluctuation
• A conformer allows its internal condition to vary with certain external changes

Homeostasis
• Organisms use homeostasis to maintain a “steady state” or internal balance regardless of external environment
• In humans, body temperature, blood pH, and glucose concentration are each maintained at a constant level
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 54
• Mechanisms of homeostasis moderate changes in the internal environment
• For a given variable, fluctuations above or below a set point serve as a stimulus; these are detected by a sensor and trigger a response
• The response returns the variable to the set point

Page 56
Feedback Loops in Homeostasis
• The dynamic equilibrium of homeostasis is maintained by negative feedback, which helps to return a variable to either a normal range or a set point
• Most homeostatic control systems function by negative feedback, where buildup of the end product shuts the system off
• Positive feedback loops occur in animals, but do not usually contribute to homeostasis
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 57
Alterations in Homeostasis
• Set points and normal ranges can change with age or show cyclic variation
• Homeostasis can adjust to changes in external environment, a process called acclimatization
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 58
Concept 40.3: Homeostatic processes for thermoregulation involve form, function, and behavior
• Thermoregulation is the process by which animals maintain an internal temperature within a tolerable range
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 59
• Endothermic animals generate heat by metabolism; birds and mammals are endotherms
• Ectothermic animals gain heat from external sources; ectotherms include most invertebrates, fishes, amphibians, and non-avian reptiles
Endothermy and Ectothermy
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 60
• In general, ectotherms tolerate greater variation in internal temperature, while endotherms are active at a greater range of external temperatures
• Endothermy is more energetically expensive than ectothermy

Variation in Body Temperature
• The body temperature of a poikilotherm varies with its environment, while that of a homeotherm is relatively constant
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 63
Balancing Heat Loss and Gain
• Organisms exchange heat by four physical processes: conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

• Five general adaptations help animals thermoregulate:
– Insulation
– Circulatory adaptations
– Cooling by evaporative heat loss
– Behavioral responses
– Adjusting metabolic heat production
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 68
Insulation
• Insulation is a major thermoregulatory adaptation in mammals and birds
• Skin, feathers, fur, and blubber reduce heat flow between an animal and its environment
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 69
• Regulation of blood flow near the body surface significantly affects thermoregulation
• Many endotherms and some ectotherms can alter the amount of blood flowing between the body core and the skin
• In vasodilation, blood flow in the skin increases, facilitating heat loss
• In vasoconstriction, blood flow in the skin decreases, lowering heat loss
Circulatory Adaptations
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 70
• The arrangement of blood vessels in many marine mammals and birds allows for countercurrent exchange
• Countercurrent heat exchangers transfer heat between fluids flowing in opposite directions
• Countercurrent heat exchangers are an important mechanism for reducing heat loss

• Some bony fishes and sharks also use countercurrent heat exchanges
• Many endothermic insects have countercurrent heat exchangers that help maintain a high temperature in the thorax
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 73
Cooling by Evaporative Heat Loss
• Many types of animals lose heat through evaporation of water in sweat
• Panting increases the cooling effect in birds and many mammals
• Sweating or bathing moistens the skin, helping to cool an animal down
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 74
• Both endotherms and ectotherms use behavioral responses to control body temperature
• Some terrestrial invertebrates have postures that minimize or maximize absorption of solar heat
Behavioral Responses
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 76
Adjusting Metabolic Heat Production
• Some animals can regulate body temperature by adjusting their rate of metabolic heat production
• Heat production is increased by muscle activity such as moving or shivering
• Some ectotherms can also shiver to increase body temperature

• Birds and mammals can vary their insulation to acclimatize to seasonal temperature changes
• When temperatures are subzero, some ectotherms produce “antifreeze” compounds to prevent ice formation in their cells
Acclimatization in Thermoregulation

Page 80
Physiological Thermostats and Fever
• Thermoregulation is controlled by a region of the brain called the hypothalamus
• The hypothalamus triggers heat loss or heat generating mechanisms
• Fever is the result of a change to the set point for a biological thermostat
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Concept 40.4: Energy requirements are related to animal size, activity, and environment
• Bioenergetics is the overall flow and transformation of energy in an animal
• It determines how much food an animal needs and relates to an animal’s size, activity, and environment
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 83
Energy Allocation and Use
• Animals harvest chemical energy from food
• Energy-containing molecules from food are usually used to make ATP, which powers cellular work
• After the needs of staying alive are met, remaining food molecules can be used in biosynthesis
• Biosynthesis includes body growth and repair, synthesis of storage material such as fat, and production of gametes

• Metabolic rate is the amount of energy an animal uses in a unit of time
• One way to measure it is to determine the amount of oxygen consumed or carbon dioxide produced
Quantifying Energy Use
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 87
Minimum Metabolic Rate and Thermoregulation
• Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the metabolic rate of an endotherm at rest at a “comfortable” temperature
• Standard metabolic rate (SMR) is the metabolic rate of an ectotherm at rest at a specific temperature
• Both rates assume a nongrowing, fasting, and nonstressed animal
• Ectotherms have much lower metabolic rates than endotherms of a comparable size
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 88
• Metabolic rates are affected by many factors besides whether an animal is an endotherm or ectotherm
• Two of these factors are size and activity
Influences on Metabolic Rate
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Page 89
Size and Metabolic Rate
• Metabolic rate per gram is inversely related to body size among similar animals
• Researchers continue to search for the causes of this relationship
• The higher metabolic rate of smaller animals leads to a higher oxygen delivery rate, breathing rate, heart rate, and greater (relative) blood volume, compared with a larger animal

• Activity greatly affects metabolic rate for endotherms and ectotherms
• In general, the maximum metabolic rate an animal can sustain is inversely related to the duration of the activity
Activity and Metabolic Rate

Page 94
• Different species use energy and materials in food in different ways, depending on their environment
• Use of energy is partitioned to BMR (or SMR), activity, thermoregulation, growth, and reproduction

Torpor and Energy Conservation
• Torpor is a physiological state in which activity is low and metabolism decreases
• Torpor enables 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
