1.1 The importance of having a transport system in some multicellular organisms
Learning outcomes:1. Identify the problems that could be faced by
multicellular organisms in obtaining their cellular requirements and getting rid of waste product
2. Suggest how these problems are overcome in multicellular organisms
Transport
• To describe how the substance in our body move from one part to the other part
• Transport process varies in different types of organism
Difference transport in unicellular and multicellular organisms
• 1. Unicellular organismEx?
They have large total surface area to volume (TSA/V) ration that enable substance to diffuse easily into the cell
Dimension of cube (cm) 1 x 1 x 1 2 x 2 x 2 4 x 4 x 4
Total surface area of cube (cm2)
Volume of cube (cm3)
TSA/V ratio
small medium large
Calculate the TSA/V ratio.
• To obtain oxygen and nutrients directly from external environment
• Carbon dioxide and other waste product also eliminated by diffusion through plasma membrane
• So, They do not need any internal transport system
Multicellular organismsEx?• The TSA/V ration decreases• Cells often located away from external surface of the
body• Diffusion rate also decrease which is a limiting factor
to cellular activities in large animals• These organism have specialized structure to
increase surface area ( alveolus)• They also need circulatory system to
– Distribute nutrients and oxygen– Remove waste product
1.2 THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
1.2 The circulatory systemLearning Outcomes:1. State what a circulatory system is2. State the three components of the circulatory system in humans
and animals3. State the medium of transport in humans and animals4. State the composition of human blood5. Explain the function of blood and haemolymph in transport6. Describe the structure of human blood vessel7. Explain how blood is propelled through human circulatory system8. Explain briefly how blood pressure regulated9. Compare and contrast the circulatory system in the following:
human, fish and amphibians10. Conceptualise the circulatory systems in humans
Functions of the circulatory systemThe circulatory system has three functions:
1. Transporting substances around the body. These include oxygen, glucose, carbon dioxide, nutrients, water and waste products.
3. Protecting the body. Blood contains cells and anti-bodies that fight infection and clotting agents to stop bleeding.
2. Carrying waste product away from the cells.
3 components of circulatory system
1. Medium of transport/ Blood2. Blood vessel3. Heart
HUMAN BLOOD
Composition of Human Blood
• Blood: connective tissue that are composed of1. Cellular components (45%)• Platelets• Erythrocytes (RBC)• Leucocytes( WBC)
2. Plasma (55%)• Water(90%)• Soluble solutes
1. Medium of transport/ BloodAnimals:Blood which consist of blood plasma, blood cells
( RBC, WBC) and plateles
Invertebrates:Ex: Use haemolymph (fluid in hoemocoel) Hoemocoel: rongga
Functions: transport material around the body
BloodBlood is the body’s means of transporting substances around. It transports:
oxygen from the lungs to the heart and then to the body’s tissues
carbon dioxide from the tissues to the heart and then to the lungs to be expired
materials like hormones from one organ to another
nutrients (especially glucose) and minerals from the intestines to the tissues
waste products to the kidneys.
Plasma
90% water - solvent
Ions (Na+, Mg2+, Cl-) – maintain osmotic balance in blood (pH 7.4)
Nutrients (e.g: glucose)
antibodies
urea and other waste products
plasma proteins.(ex: albumin, fibrinogen,prothrombin, globulins)
Dissolved gases( oxygen and carbon dioxide)
Hormones ( insulin)
The blood cells and platelets are suspended in a substance called plasma. Plasma is made up of:
• The plasma is a slightly alkaline fluid, with a typical yellowish color
• The mineral substances are dissolved in ionic form, that is dissociated into positive and negative ions.
• Ex: Ca2+
Plasma can be separated from the other components of blood using a centrifuge.
plasma
Cellular components ( 45%)
1. Platelets
• Fragments of cells from bone marrow
• No nucleus• Important for blood clotting
process
1.Platelets
Formed in red bone marrow.
Produce thrombokinase – a chemical needed for blood clotting.
Platelets help to repair tissues and close wounds both internally and externally.
When needed, they grow into irregular shapes and stick together to form a plug over the wound.
Platelets are also carried in the blood.
2.Red blood cells
Also called erythrocytes.Biconcave Disc-shaped.Made in the bone marrow.Contain a red-coloured compound called haemoglobin which bonds with oxygen to form oxyhaemoglobin.Transport oxygen to the tissues.
Blood is made up of a number of different elements. The most common cell in blood is the red blood cell.
7.5
2.0
Each erythrocytes contains haemoglobin.
Haemoglobin
Oxygen carrying protein pigment – give red color
Contains haem groupHaem group – contains iron atom and is the site of
oxygen binding.• Lifespan is only 120 days • Destroyed in the liver & spleen
3.White blood cells
Also called leucocytes.They are bigger than red blood cells and have large nuclei.Act as the body’s defence system.ColorlessCan be divided into granulocytes & agranulocytes
1. Granulocytes
• Granular cytoplasm• filled with microscopic granules that are little sacs
containing enzymes, compounds that digest microorganisms.
• Lobed nuclei• Form in bone marrowConsist of:1. Basophils2. Neutrophils3. Eosinophils
Neutrophils
• As a Phagocytes• Which digest
bacteria and dead cells
• By phagocytosis process
Neutrophils
Eosinophils
• Control allergic responses
• Kill parasitic worms by release enzyme.
eosinophils
Basophils
• Secretes heparin to prevent blood clotting
• Involve in combating inflammatory and allergic reactions
basophils
• In the different types of granulocytes, the granules are different and help us to distinguish them.
• In fact, these granules have a different affinity towards neutral, acid or basic stains and give the cytoplasm different colors.
• So, granulocytes distinguish themselves in neutrophil, eosinophil and basophil
2. Agranulocytes
• Clear cytoplasm• Nuclei are not lobed
• Consist of1. Lymphocytes2. monocytes
Lymphocytes
• Produce antibodies
• Neutralize toxins• Produce immune
responses against foreign substance
• Largest leucocytes
Monocytes
• Phagocytes • Engulf digested
bacteria and dead cells
• Origin: from bone marrow
Difference between RBC AND WBC

Functions of blood in Transport
1. Transport in oxygen2. Transport of carbon dioxide3. Transport of water to tissues4. Transport of excretory waste products5. Transport of hormones6. Transport of heat7. Transport of absorbed food materials
1. Transport of oxygen
• Transport o2 from lung/alveolus cells/ all part of body
• Oxygen combine with haemoglobin in erythrocytes to form = oxyhaemoglobin
• Oxyhaemoglobin dissociates into haemoglobin and 02
• O2 then supplied for cellular respiration (ATP) Hb + O2 ---> HbO
<-------
2. Transport of carbon dioxide• Cellular respiration release co2Glucose + o2 - energy +co2+ water• Carbon dioxide transported from cells to lungs/
alveolus in the form of:a)Hydrogen carbonate ionsb) Carbaminohemoglobinc)Dissolves directly in the blood plasma
When the blood reaches the lungs, the co2 release and diffuse out of the blood into the alveoli
• Hydrogen carbonate ions are produced when carbon dioxide produced by tissue respiration is absorbed by blood plasma.
• In your lungs, hydrogen carbonate ions turn back to carbon dioxide which is excreted when you exhale.
• Carbaminohaemoglobin is a combination of carbon dioxide and hemoglobin,
• CO2HHb, being one of the forms in which carbon dioxide exists in the blood.
3. Transport of water to tissues
• Water is transported by blood to provide a medium for biochemical reactions
4.Transport of excretory waste products
1. Deamination• Process removing the amino group from the
excess amino acid. • The amino group is converted to ammonia
and then to urea by the liver• From liver, urea transported by blood to
kidneys to be excreted
5.Transport of hormones
• Blood transport hormones produced by endocrine gland to the target organs
• Ex: insulin and glucagon carried by blood from pancreas to the liver
6. Transport of heat
• Blood helps regulate body temperature by distributing heat
7. Transport of absorbed food materials
• Soluble digested food, vitamins and mineral absorbed into capillaries of the villi in small intestine
• Ex: simple sugar: glucose• Amino acids • Water soluble vitamins• Mineral salts
• They are transported by the hepatic portal vein from small intestine to liver and then to the heart
• Other food materials are absorbed into lacteals in the villi
• Ex: fatty acids, glycerol , vitamin ADEK (Fat soluble susbtances)
• They are then transported by the lymph into the blood circulatory system via the left subclavian vein
Hepatic portal vein
Lacteal and villi
lymph
Subclavian vein
Function of Haemolymph in transport
Haemolymph:• the circulating fluid in open tissue spaces of
invertebrates• A circulating blood-like nutritive fluid which fills
the entire body cavity called haemocoel• A circulating system in invertebrates = open
circulatory system because the haemolymph:
1. Is not confined to vessels only2. Bathes the tissues and internal organs directly
• Nutrients such as digested food and hormones diffuse from haemolymph into cells.
• Waste products diffuse out from cells into the haemolymph
• Haemolymph does not transport respiratory gases.
• Gaseous exchange via the tracheal system
Structure of human blood vessels
2. Blood vessels
• Consist of • arteries• Capillaries• Veins functions: carries blood around the body
Blood vessels
There are three types of blood vessels,
blood from the heart
blood to the heart
arterycarries blood
back intothe heart
carries blood away fromthe heart
carries blood to and from the body’s cells
vein
arteries capillaries Veins•Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to all parts of the body•Except pulmonary artery
•Sites for the exchange of respiratory gases, nutrients and wastes
•Transport deoxygenated blood from all parts of the body to the heart except pulmonary vein
•Blood pressure:•High blood pressure in arteries
•Lower than arteries but higher than veins
•Lower than arteries
•Thick muscular wall •Lumen size small
•One cell thickness •Lumen is very small
•Thinner wall•Lumen size is large
•No valve except aorta
•No valve •Valve present to prevent backflow of blood
arteries capillaries Veins
To transport blood quickly at high pressure from the heart to tissues
Allow rapid gaseous exchange between blood and the body cells by diffusion
Allow blood from tissues to return to the heart
The ARTERY
thick muscle and elastic fibres
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.
the elastic fibres allow the artery to stretch under
pressure
the thick muscle can contract to push the
blood along.
The VEIN
Veins carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart.
thin muscle and elastic fibres
veins have valves which act to stop the blood from going in the wrong direction.
body muscles surround the veins so that when they contract to move the body, they also squeeze the veins and push the blood along the vessel.
The CAPILLARY
Capillaries link Arterioles with Venus
the wall of a capillaryis only one cell thick
they exchange materials between the blood and other body cells.
The exchange of materials between the blood and the body can only occur through capillaries.
Blood vesselsthick outer wall

3. Heart
• A heart is an organ that generates pressure to pump the blood through out the body
Location of the Heart
• The heart is located between the lungs behind the sternum and above the diaphragm.
• It is surrounded by the pericardium. It is a fluid filled sac that surrounds the heart• Its size is about that of a closed fist, and its
weight is about 250-300 g.
Location of the heart in the thorax
How blood is propelled through the human circulatory system?
Anatomy of the heart
• Heart made up of myogenic cardiac muscles which contract and relax automatically throughout life
• It is not controlled by nervous system
• The human heart has four chambers:1. Left and right Atrium (atria= plural) • Upper chambers which receive blood
returning to the heart• Thin -walled2. Left and right ventricles• Lower chambers which pump blood out
of the heart• Thick walled
Septum:• Separates the right chambers from the left
chambersThe valves: ensure that blood flows only in one
direction.1. Tricuspid valve2. Bicuspid valve3. Semi lunar valve
The Heart Valves • The tricuspid valve- the valve between the
right atrium and right ventricle
• The bicuspid valve- the valve between left atrium and left ventricle
• Semi lunar valve- the valves at the base of aorta and pulmonary artery
• The right pump forces deoxygenated blood to the lungs
• The left pump forces oxygenated blood to other parts of the body
Deoxygenated blood from the body enter the right atrium via
vena cava
oxygenated blood from the lungs enter the left atrium via pulmonary
veins
Pumping of the heart/ the heartbeat
• http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/heart/heartmap.html
How does the heart beat?
The pumping of the heart
Sinoatrial node
Atrio-ventricular node
Bundle of His containing Purkinje tissue
Interventricular septum
SAN and AVN• Electrical signal begins in the sinoatrial (SA) node:
"natural pacemaker." – causes the atria to contract. – Blood is then forced into the ventricles
• The signal then passes through the atrioventricular (AV) node. – sends the signal to the ventricles via the “bundle
of His” – causes the ventricles to contract. – And pump the blood out of the heart
• Right ventricle pumps the blood into pulmonary artery – which forces the blood to the lung
• Left ventricle pumps the blood into aorta – which forces the blood to all part of the body
The Conduction System
• Left ventricle is thicker and more muscular than the wall of the right ventricles
• Because it needs to generate greater pressure to pump blood to all parts of the body
• While the right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs only
What is the cardiac cycle?
• Cardiac cycle is the series of events that occur during one complete heartbeat
• Including contraction (systole) and relaxation ( diastole) of both atria and ventricles
• The sino atrial node(SAN) can initiate the heartbeat on its own
Sympathetic nerve carrying impulse to the heart can increase the heart rate
Parasympathetic nerve can slow it downThe heart rate increase when:• Increase in the secretion of hormone
(adrenaline)• An increase in partial pressure of carbon dioxide
in the blood• Body temperature is elevated
Contraction of skeletal muscles around veins
How does blood in the veins flow back to the heart?
1.Muscle relaxed , valves closed2.Muscles contract, upper valves open and
blood is forced upwards , lower valve remain close
3. Muscles relaxed, upper valves closed, lower valve opens as a result of muscle contraction elsewhere and blood flows forwards
Regulatory mechanism of blood pressure
• Blood pressure is the force of the blood exerted of the arterial blood vessels
• Arterial blood pressure is highest during ventricular systole , and lowest during diastole
• Baroreceptors monitor the pressure of blood flowing to the body and to the brain
• Baroreceptor located in the walls of the aorta and carotid arteries branch out from the aorta.
Increase in blood pressureBaroreceptor stimulated
Impulse send to cardiovascular control centre(medulla oblongata)
Impulses send via parasympathetic nerve to heart
Contraction of cardiac muscle decrease
Slow down heart beat
Decrease in BP
Normal BP
Decrease in blood pressureIncrease stimulation of the SA node by the sympathetic
nerve
Increase the contraction of the cardiac muscle & smooth muscle of arteries
Increase heart beat
increase in BP

Circulatory systems in insects, fish,
amphibians & human
Circulatory system
Open Circulatory systeme.g: insects
Closed Circulatory system
Double Single e.g: fish
Completee.g: human
Incompletee.g: amphibian
Circulatory system in insects
1. When the heart relax, haemolymph re-enters ostia
2. Valves ensure the haemolymph flow in one direction
Material exchange occurs here. Haemolymph in haemocoel carry nutrients and waste products
Single closed Circulatory system in fish
• Heart consists of 2 separate chambers: an atrium & ventricle.
• Deoxygenated blood leaves the heart at high pressure and passes through the gills where the gaseous exchange occurs.
• Oxygenated blood flows through the organs and blood pressure drops.
Sinuses
Incomplete double closed Circulatory system in amphibians (eg:frogs)
• Double circulatory system:– Pulmonary circulation– Systemic circulation
• Have three-chambered heart (2 atria & 1 ventricle)
• Mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in ventricle. The mixed blood enters the systemic circulation.
Circulatory system in humans• Double circulatory system (blood passes through the heart
twice for each circuit)– Pulmonary circulation– Systemic circulation
• Two divisions of heart: – Right side pump deoxygenated blood to the lungs– Left side pump oxygenated blood to the body (except lungs)
• Advantage: blood returns to the heart to be pumped again will increase the blood pressure and flow rate, thereby speeding up delivery O2 to the tissues and organs.
Dolphin circulatory system?
The mechanism of blood clotting
The necessities of blood clotting
• To prevent:– serious blood loss– the entry of microorganisms and foreign
particles into the blood
• To maintain:– normal blood pressure– circulation of blood in a closed
circulatory system
The mechanism of blood clotting
• When you get cut, ___________exposed to air become sticky and clump together to plug the wound.
• Platelets release ____________(clotting factor) in the presence of ___________ ions
• Its converts prothrombin into __________• The formation of prothrombin in the liver
requires___________
platelets
thrombokinaseCalcium ion
thrombin
Vitamin K
• Trombin converts soluble plasma protein, ____________ into insoluble _____________ which form a meshwork of threads over the wound
• As blood flow out, erythrocytes and platelets are trapped in the fibrin fibres and a blood clot form.
• The blood clot dries to form a scab which cover the wound.
fibrinogen Fibrin fibres
CONSEQUENCES OF IMPAIRED BLOOD CLOTTING MECHANISM
Haemophilia
• Haemophilia is a hereditary disease due to the lack of certain gene for the production of certain clotting factor
• It causes serious bleeding particularly in the joints.
Thrombosis
• Blood clot is sometimes formed on the damaged rough inner wall of artery. This clot is called thrombus.
• Thrombus may cause blockage of the artery and this is known as thrombosis.
• When the thrombus dislodges and carried away by blood circulation, it is known as embolus.
• Embolus may trapped in the small artery and block the flow of blood. The condition is called embolism.

BIOLOGY FORM 5
FORMATION OF INTERSTITIAL FLUID
• Blood flows from arteries capillaries, there is a higher hydrostatic pressure at the arterial end of the capillaries.
• Higher pressure forces some fluid out through capillary wall into intercellular spaces between cells.
• fluid interstitial fluid @ tissue fluid
• The interstitial fluid that has not been reenter into bloodstream goes into lymph capillaries.
• Fluid is known as lymph
COMPOSITION OF INTERSTITIAL FLUID
• Similar to the blood plasma.
• Contains water + dissolved oxygen + amino acids + glucose + fatty acids + glycerol + vitamins + minerals + hormones.
• Has no erythrocytes, platelets or large protein molecules.
The Importance of Interstitial Fluid
• It is important because:–Form the internal environment of the body–Bathes the cells & supplies them with cellular
requirement. E.g: oxygen and nutrients.–Excretory waste product diffuse out of the
cells into the interstitial fluid.
THE FATE OF INTERSTITIAL FLUID• 90% interstitial fluid flow back into the venous end of the
capillary system where the hydrostatic pressure is low.
• 10% of interstitial fluid drains into the lymphatic capillaries forming lymph.
• If excess interstitial fluid unable to return cause tissue swelling oedema
The structure of the lymphatic system
• The three parts of the lymphatic system are: –The lymph vessels–The lymph nodes–The lymph capillaries
lymphatic capillaries• Blind-ended tubes or
closed at one end.• Located in the spaces
btween the cells.• The non absorbed
interstitial fluid is drain into these capillaries
• Fluid lymph• It is unite to form
lymphatic vessels.
lymphatic vessels
• Lymph capillaries unite to form larger lymphatic vessels.
• Have one- way valves• Prevent back
flow of lymph• Ensure the
continuous flow of the lymph away from the tissue.
Lymph nodes• Located at interval
along the lymphatic vessel.
• Produce and store lymphocytes that help to defend body agaisnt infections.
