1 mm rule: Diffusion is an effective means of
transporting substances (e.g.,gases) only when the distance is
< 1 mm
![Page 5: How long can you hold your breath? Brett LaMaster - constant ballast free diving record – 266 ft., 2 ½ minutes Francisco Ferreras (Pipin) - no limits free](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e245503460f94b12fd6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Open circulatory systems greatly increase the efficiency of transport of substances within a body relative to
diffusion

Closed circulatory systems are even more efficient than open circulatory
systems

Amphibians have 3-chambered hearts
Fig. 42.4
Three chambers allows for double circulation, i.e., two circuits, such that blood passes through a single set of capillaries in each round-trip from and back to the heart

Heart rate (pulse)• Nervous system and
hormones control the pacemaker’s rhythm
• Resting pulse is around 70 beats per minute
• Strenuous activity or stress can raise the pulse to 170 or more

Measuring blood pressure
Blood pressure is measured by two values: Systolic pressure – during ventricular contractions Diastolic pressure – between ventricular contractions

What is blood?• Blood is the fluid that carries nutrients, gases,
hormones and wastes around the body
• Blood consists of:
– plasma (the liquid part) 55% of volume
– cellular components 45% of volume(red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets)
• Average adult human has 5 to 6 L of blood (about 8% of body mass)

What is blood?Red blood cells = erythrocytes
These are the most numerous cells in the blood
Their dimpled shape gives them extra surface area
They are packed full of the pigment hemoglobin

What is blood?Hemoglobin
Four subunit polypeptide chains
Each subunit polypeptide chain has an iron-rich heme group
Each heme group can reversibly bind one O2 molecule

Carries ~ 70 times more O2 than dissolves in the plasma
Also carries CO2, but with much less affinity than for O2

Elephantiasis – caused by a parasitic worm, most common in parts of Africa, reduces the lymphatic system’s ability to take up fluids that leak out of capillaries
The lymphatic systemJust like other organ systems, the lymphatic system can malfunction

The respiratory systemEach lung contains ~ 2 million
alveoli, with a total surface area of ~ 75 m2

The respiratory system
Alveoli have thin, moist walls and are surrounded by capillaries

the chest cavity expands, and the lungs fill with air

Birds have especially efficient respiratory systems
When a bird inhales, some of the air passes through its lungs and some fills its air sacs

Birds have especially efficient respiratory systems
When a bird exhales, air continues to move in the same direction through the lungs, as the air sacs empty

Cardiovascular diseases
Disorders of the heart and blood vessels
Leading causes of death in the USA (~ 1 million people each yr)
Hypertension (high blood pressure), often caused by constriction of the arteries and arterioles, can strain the heart
Hypertension often results from plaque buildup
![Page 67: How long can you hold your breath? Brett LaMaster - constant ballast free diving record – 266 ft., 2 ½ minutes Francisco Ferreras (Pipin) - no limits free](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e245503460f94b12fd6/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Plaques are thickened artery and
arteriole walls; smooth muscle
infiltrated by lipids (especially low-
density lipoproteins, LDL’s, the “bad cholesterols”)
Cardiovascular diseases

Atherosclerosis is the condition in which
plaques impair circulation
Arteriosclerosis is a more advanced
condition in which plaques become
hardened by calciumdeposits

Plaques are often sites of clotting within vessels; thrombus (clot formed & found
at the site of blockage) or
embolus (clot transported within the
blood to its site of blockage)

Cardiovascular diseases
Restricted blood flow within the coronary arteries (which deliver blood to heart tissues) may cause chest
pains (angina)

Cardiovascular diseases
Blockage from a thrombus or embolus of coronary arteries is one cause of heart attack
A similar blockage in the brain is a cause of stroke

Cardiovascular diseases
Exercise, low-fat diet, and abstinence from smoking and alcohol abuse all promote a healthy heart

Smoking and healthA gratuitous public-service announcement
Nicotine in tobacco smoke is a powerfully addictive drug
![Page 74: How long can you hold your breath? Brett LaMaster - constant ballast free diving record – 266 ft., 2 ½ minutes Francisco Ferreras (Pipin) - no limits free](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e245503460f94b12fd6/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Smoking and healthEach yr ~ 430,000 people die in the U.S. from
smoking related diseases
Smoking costs U.S. tax payers about $100 billion annually in health care for the uninsured and
losses of productivity
Principal causes of death are lung cancer, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, heart disease,
strokes, and other cancers
![Page 75: How long can you hold your breath? Brett LaMaster - constant ballast free diving record – 266 ft., 2 ½ minutes Francisco Ferreras (Pipin) - no limits free](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e245503460f94b12fd6/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Smoking and health
Toxins in tobacco smoke inhibit the cilia that line the respiratory tract so that they cannot remove
particulates
Toxins also impair white blood cells’ abilities to combat infectious microbes, which leads to chronic infections
like bronchitis

Smoking and health
Emphysema occurs as alveoli become brittle and rupture, creating holes in the lungs

Smoking and health
Carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) in tobacco smoke accumulate in the lungs
![Page 78: How long can you hold your breath? Brett LaMaster - constant ballast free diving record – 266 ft., 2 ½ minutes Francisco Ferreras (Pipin) - no limits free](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e245503460f94b12fd6/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Smoking and health
Passive smoking = breathing second-hand smoke
Estimated to cause 3,000 deaths from lung disease and 37,000 deaths from heart disease in non-smokers
in the U.S. each year
![Page 79: How long can you hold your breath? Brett LaMaster - constant ballast free diving record – 266 ft., 2 ½ minutes Francisco Ferreras (Pipin) - no limits free](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e245503460f94b12fd6/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Smoking and health
Healing begins as soon as someone quits smoking
Risks of lung cancer, heart attack, and other diseases gradually diminish after someone quits smoking, so it’s
never too late to quit!
