Physiology’s Two Central Questions About How Animals Work
What is the mechanism by which a function is accomplished?
Origin: How did that mechanism come to be?
![Page 10: Animal Physiology chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062311/58826c671a28ab470c8b5ca3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The mechanism of light production
by fireflies (Photinus)
![Page 11: Animal Physiology chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062311/58826c671a28ab470c8b5ca3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Natural Selection: the increase in frequency of genes that produce phenotypes that raise the likelihood that animals will survive and reproduce
Adaptation: a physiological mechanism or other trait that is a product of evolution by natural selection
Adaptive Significance: Why the trait is an asset – why natural selection favored the evolution of a trait

Male fireflies employ their
mechanism of light production for an
adaptive function: mate

Structures that are similar in gross appearance,
functional performance, and adaptive significance can differ dramatically in details of how they are assembled and work
Mechanisms and adaptive significance are distinct concepts that do not imply each other
![Page 16: Animal Physiology chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062311/58826c671a28ab470c8b5ca3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The mechanisms by which animals perform their life sustaining functions.
The evolution and adaptive significance of physiological traitsThe ways in which diverse phylogenetic groups of animals
both resemble each other and differThe ways in which physiology and ecology interact, in the
present and during evolutionary timeThe importance of all levels of organization – from genes to
proteins, and tissues to organs-for the full understanding of physiological systems

require energy to maintain organization
3. Both time and body size are fundamental significance in the lives of all animals
Animals
![Page 20: Animal Physiology chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062311/58826c671a28ab470c8b5ca3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The atoms of their bodies are in dynamic exchange with the atoms in their environments (isotope
studies)
Structurally Dynamic
![Page 21: Animal Physiology chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062311/58826c671a28ab470c8b5ca3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Although the particular atoms change the overall structure stays the same-
energy required
Animal Organization

Figure 1.6 Conformity and
regulation
![Page 23: Animal Physiology chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062311/58826c671a28ab470c8b5ca3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Regulation demands more energy than conformity because regulation represents a
form of organization
Homeostatsis – the existence of regulatory systems that automatically make
adjustments to maintain internal constancy
Example: negative feedback – controlled variable brought back to its set point
![Page 25: Animal Physiology chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062311/58826c671a28ab470c8b5ca3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Changes in response to the external environment:1. Acute Changes – short term, reversible, in individuals2. Chronic Changes – long term, reversible, in individuals3. Evolutionary Changes – alteration of gene frequencies (genotypes) over
the course of multiple generations in population exposed to new environments
Changes in response to the internal environment:4. Developmental changes – programmed changes from conception to
senescence5. Changes controlled by periodic biological clocks-changes that occur in
repeating patterns
Five Time Frames in Which Physiology Changes

Acclimation – chronic response to a laboratory environment – controlled environment with just a few changes
Acclimatization – chronic response to a natural environment (winter/summer, high/low elevation)
Norm of Reaction – Correspondences between phenotypes and environments (high melanin & high sun), can be adaptations
Phenotypic Plasticity – the ability of an animal to express two or more genetically controlled phenotypes,
can evolve
![Page 28: Animal Physiology chapter 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062311/58826c671a28ab470c8b5ca3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Developmental changes – programmed changes from conception to senescence
Changes controlled by periodic biological clocks-changes that occur in repeating patterns
Changes in response to the internal environment

Body Size – Many traits vary in regular ways with their body size among related species – brain size, heart rate, energy use etc. Scaling – the study of these relationships
Changes in response to the internal environment

Need for oxygen due to need for metabolic energy.
Releasing energy from organic compounds (food) release hydrogen.
This is combined with oxygen to form water.
The suitability of an environment depends on availability of O2.
Oxygen

A change in gene frequencies over time in a population of organisms
Not necessarily due to adaptation which occurs due to natural selection
Nonadaptive evolution occurs when gene frequencies change but does not confer a survival or reproductive advantage.
