⑵ Exists in all animals except sponges
⑶ One organ can belong to multiple organ systems
① Example : Interest plays an important role in both the endocrine and digestive systems
⑷ Example : Heart, stomach, lungs, etc.
4. Organ System
⑴ Example : Digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system, endocrine system, nervous system, exercise system, immune system
5. Individual : Homeostasis
⑴ Animal classification according to the internal environment control method
① regulator (regulator) : Use internal control mechanisms to reduce internal changes caused by external fluctuations
② conformer (conformer) : Change the internal environment according to the external environment
⑵ Negative feedback control : Mechanisms of change reduction to eliminate the causes of environmental changes in the body
① Class 1. Feedback inhibition : Feedback circuits interfere with enzyme and metabolic mechanisms
② Collaborative feedback inhibition
○ Each final product must be above a certain concentration to inhibit the enzyme
○ Enzyme has more than one allosteric site
③ Cumulative feedback inhibition
○ Each final product partially inhibits the enzymes involved in the initial reaction
○ If the sum of each amount of the final product exceeds a certain level, the total enzyme is inhibited
④ Class 2. Feedback repression : Feedback circuitry interferes with gene transcription (↔ induction)
⑶ Positive feedback : Changes in the environment do not contribute to the mechanism of expansion, homeostasis
① Example 1. Blood clotting
② Example 2. Uterine contractions at birth
③ Example 3. Reproductive cycle : Estrogen
④ Example 4. Neuronal action potential
⑷ Homeostasis
① Set points and normal ranges for homeostasis may vary for different environments
○ Example : Most animals have lower body temperatures when they are sleeping than when they are awake
② One way to change the normal range of homeostasis is to purify it (the process of adapting to changes in the external environment).
○ Example : Physiological Changes in Mammals Ascending From Sea Level to Highlands. Increased blood flow to the lungs. Increased red blood cell production
6. Individual : Metabolic regulation
⑴ Bioenergy : Limit the behavior, growth, and reproduction of living things and determine how much food an animal needs
① Metabolic rate : The amount of energy used per unit time, the amount of energy required for the entire biochemical reaction for a given time
② Energy strategy
○ In general, the metabolic rate of warm-temperature animals is much higher than the metabolic rate of warm-temperature animals.
○ Warm animals have a longer period of intense exercise (eg. Long distance running, active flight)
○ In general, temperature resistant animals are less resistant to fluctuations in internal temperature and more food intake than external temperature animals.
⑵ Effect on metabolic rate
① Size and metabolic rate
○ Excessive size of the animal limits mobility
○ Larger animals increase energy cost per body mass
○ The larger the animal, the more adequate the exchange system for exchanging material (eg : Circulatory system)
○ body mass index (BMI)
○ Defition : Weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared
○ BMI ≥ 30 : Obesity. BMI <18.5 : Low weight
② Activity
○ Maximum metabolism rate : Occurs during intense activity and is inversely proportional to duration of activity
○ Minimum metabolic rate : Promote life-sustaining functions such as cell maintenance, respiration, and heart rate, divided into basic metabolic rate and standard metabolic rate
○ Basal metabolic rate (BMR) : The metabolic rate of a tolerant animal that is resting, has an empty stomach, and does not grow under stress, as determined within the environmental temperature range.
○ Example : Adult men 1600-1800 kcal / day, adult women 1300-1500 kcal / day
○ SMRl standard metabolic rate : Metabolic rate varies depending on metabolic rate and environmental temperature of thermophilic animals resting at a certain temperature, not eating, and not stressed
③ Animal form
○ Streamlined animal body design reduces frictional resistance when moving
○ The flat body design has a large surface area per unit volume, which is advantageous for mass exchange.
⑶ Energy balance : Percentage of items where energy is used
① Resistant Animal Energy Balance
○ Significantly consumes a large percentage of energy
○ The proportion of energy spent on size and temperature control is the opposite
② Thermoplastic Animal Energy Balance
○ Very low percentage of energy spent on thermoregulation
○ Significantly less energy expenditure than temperature-resistant animals of the same size
⑷ Dormancy and energy conservation
① Hibernation : Adaptation to winter cold and food shortage
○ Example : Hibernating Ground Squirrel : Lowers body metabolism by lowering body temperature
② If : Adaptation to long periods of high temperature and insufficient water supply
③ Intraday sleep : The body size of all dormant animals that are dormant is considered to be a biometric cycle controlled by a biological clock.
○ Example : Bats dormant during the day even if they feed on the night, sleep during the day, and continue to feed
7. Individual : Thermoregulation
⑴ Thermoregulation
① Necessity of thermoregulation⑴ : The temperature at which the enzyme is active is limited, so most cell functions are limited to a narrow temperature range.
② Necessity of thermoregulation⑵ : Heat continues to develop in life.
○ Adult male standard, 87 W for sleep, 115 W for rest or office work, 230 W for bowling, 440 W for severe physical labor
○ Adult women produce about 15% less heat because their bodies are smaller than in adult men
③ Necessity of thermoregulation⑶ : Heat exchange between the skin and the external environment (conduction, convection, radiation, evaporation)
○ The key to thermoregulation is to equalize heat gain and heat loss.
○ Animals perform thermoregulation to reduce heat exchange as a whole
④ Temperature resistant animal
○ Endotherm : Creature that regulates body temperature by heat generated in the body
○ A warm-blooded animal : Creature that regulates body temperature by heat generated in vitro
○ Homeotherm : Generally temperature-resistant animals, animals with constant temperature
○ Poikilotherm : Generally thermophilic animals, animals whose body temperature varies within a certain range
○ Body temperature control by controlling blood flow in both warm and warm animals
⑵ Thermoregulation of Temperature-Resistant Animals
① Active heat generation of temperature resistant animals
○ Generate shivering heat : Heat generated by muscle activity, such as moving or trembling
○ Generate non-shake heat : Brown Fat (See. 2-⑶-④)
○ Thyroxine and Metabolic Fever
② Heat and adaptation
○ Surface area : Species living in cold areas have a small surface area
○ Insulation : Reduces heat flow between animals and the environment
○ Example : Hair, feathers, fat layer
○ Circulatory system adaptation : Changes the amount of blood flowing inside the body and between skin in response to changes in environmental temperature
○ Vascular Relaxation : Increased blood flow to the skin surface to increase the rate of heat loss into the body
○ Vasoconstriction : Reduced blood loss to the skin surface to reduce heat loss rate
○ Countercurrent heat exchange : System to reduce heat loss
○ Adjacent blood flow in opposite directions to maximize heat transfer rate
○ Part of the heat in the arterial blood flows into the venous blood and becomes a mechanism to maintain the temperature in the center of the body
○ Cooling by evaporation
○ Gasping
○ Sweating : Observed in many terrestrial animals, with sweat glands controlled by the nervous system
○ Saliva : Some kangaroos, observed in rodents
○ Evaporative cooling control through changes in the amount of mucus on the body surface
⑶ Thermoregulation of Thermophilic Animals
① Generate shivering heat : Some large reptiles increase metabolic rate through tremor
② Behavioral response
○ Outside animals rely more on temperature control by behavior
○ Bee : Density and heat production in cold days by using thermoregulatory mechanisms dependent on social behavior ↑
⑷ Purification in thermoregulation
① Purification of temperature resistant animals
○ Controlling the degree of insulation
○Example : Grows thick fur in winter and takes off in summer
○ Seasonal Changes in Metabolic Heat Production Capacity
② Purification of Thermophile Animals : Often includes adjustment at the cellular level
○ Generation of enzyme variants with the same function but with different optimum temperatures
○ Maintain membrane fluidity at various environmental temperatures by varying the saturated fat / unsaturated fat ratio
○ Life at very low environmental temperatures creates antifreeze and lowers freezing point
⑸ Vertebrate thermostats : Thalamus lower part, Thalamus lower part of the brain
① Use feedback information
○ Lower Thalamus perception of cold → contraction of blood vessels in the skin → reduction of blood flow and shaking in the skin → heat generation
○ Lower Thalamus perception of heat → skin and blood vessel expansion → increased blood flow and panting → heat loss
○ Thalamus lower part stimulates autonomic nervous system and pituitary gland
② Fever defends against infection
○ Fever factor rises set point
○ Macrophage secretion during infection → Thalamus lower setpoint ↑ → Temperature rise → Immune system activity and microbial growth ↓
③ Energy savings can be achieved by lowering the set point
⑹ Drosophila and heat shock proteins
① HSF (heat-shock factor) induces the expression of HSP70 by binding to the heat-shock element (HSE) located above the HSP70 gene
② HSF protein is bound to HSE by thermal shock
8. Individual : Osmotic control
⑴ Osmotic Control Challenge : Moisture Balance of Various Animals
① Classification according to the method of maintaining water balance
○ Osmosis : Animals Not Actively Controlling Osmolarity In The Body, Net Migration Of Water ×
○ Osmotic regulator : Animals that maintain an internal osmolarity different from the external osmolarity, energy is constantly required
② Osmotic Control of Seawater and Freshwater Animals
○ Sea animals : Water intake with high salt concentration, water leaks from the body surface by osmosis → Salt discharge from gills, small amount of urine with high salt concentration
○ Freshwater animals : Water intake with low salt concentration, water inflow from body surface by osmosis → Salt intake from gill, large amount of urine with low salt concentration
③ Water bear : Trehalos protects cell membranes and proteins during dehydration
⑵ Energy Science of Osmotic Control : Saving energy
① Adapts body fluids to the salinity of the habitat to save energy consumed to balance water and solutes
② Transport epithelium : Take saline as an example.
○ Carrier epithelial cells in charge of solute transport consist of one or several layers
○ Large surface area in the form of complex tubes
○ Example. Seagulls consume 80% of the water they drank through the saline while removing 80% of salt
③ Backflow Exchange
○ Direction of blood flow and discharge of salinity in the lumen of the secretory canal
○ This countercurrent system maintains the concentration gradient of salt throughout all sections, facilitating the transfer of salt from the blood to the tube
