Lecture notes for Animal Physiology

 4 keer bekeken  0 keer verkocht

Lecture notes for the second-year biology course Animal Physiology. Since English is not my first language there are some grammatical mistakes. On the exam using the notes I got a 7 however, I do recommend combining your own notes with these for a better understanding of the course.

Physiology- deals wiith the funcions and activities of life or living matter and of tthe physical and
chemical phenomena involved

There are 2 starting points : animal is biochemical machine – uptake and digestionn of food , uptake of
oxygen, transport of nutrients , energy . Animals must deal with changes- temperature, oxygen, food ,
stress

Acute change is a short term change in physiology of an individual and they are revisable

Acclimation or chronic change is long term change but still revisable

True adaptation is on the evolutionary changes and they are not revisable and it is alteration of genes

The solutes—that is, the dissolved materials—that move across cell membranes and epithelia are
chemically very diverse



OSMOSIS AND OSMOREGULATION

Osmosis is the passive transport of water across a membrane, which can be a cell membrane, an
epithelium, or an artificial membrane.

When two solutions exchange water by osmosis, water always moves from the one with the lower
osmotic pressure into the one with the higher osmotic pressure.

Osmoregulation- processes that regulate the water and ion balance of an organism or a cell

Total concentrastion of osmotically active particles per litre of water is expressed in Osmol = Osmolarity

Osmolality- per kg of water

Osmotic gradients – difference in concentration of ion and water outside and inside the cells

Any solute that exerts a sufficiently large effect on the osmotic pressure of a body fluid to be of
consequence for understanding water–salt physiology is termed an osmolyte

Diffusion- random movements of particles as result of their thermal energy




X is the distance separating the region of high concentration (C1) from the region of low concentration
(C2), (C1 − C2)/X is called the concentration gradient. It expresses how much the concentration changes
per unit of distance

D is affected by temperature and ease with which the solute of interest moves through the material
separating the two concentrations

Isotonic condition- the solute concentration outside the cell is the same as the inside the celll and the
solute cant cross the membrane

,If you have the concentrattion of a solute iin a solutioon you can calculate the osmotic pressure of liquid
= Colligative




Isosmotic are two solutions that have similar osmotic pressure

Tonniccity- relates to the behaviour of cells in a solution

A solution is isotonic if a cell in it doesnt shrink or swell

If two solutions, A and B, have the same osmotic pressure, they are said to be isosmotic. If solution A
has a lower osmotic pressure than solution B, A is said to be hyposmotic to B, and B is said to be
hyperosmotic to A. If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, they swell because of an osmotic influx of
water. In a hypertonic solution, they shrink because of osmotic water loss.—Shrinking is bad because it
leads to macromolecular crowding and folding errors in proteins



OSMOREGULATION

Three types of regulation of the composition of the blood plasma are possible: osmotic regulation, ionic
regulation, and volume regulation

Osmotic regulation (osmoregulation) is the maintenance of a constant or nearly constant osmotic
pressure in the blood plasma

---1000 mOsm is the approximate osmotic pressure of full-strength seawater for fresh water is lower
then 20

Animals osmoregulate intracellular fluid, interstitial fluid and blood plasma

Two principal types of body fluids are recognized in animals: the intracellular fluids inside cells and the
extracellular fluids outside cells. The extracellular fluids are divided into two subparts: the interstitial
fluids found between cells in ordinary tissues and the blood plasma, the part of the blood other than
the blood cells.

Water can cross cell membranes by osmosis, and ions can cross by diffusion



Ionic regulation of the blood plasma is the maintenance of a constant or nearly constant concentration
of an inorganic ion in the blood plasma

Volume regulation is the regulation of the total amount of water in a body fluid.

The osmotic U/P ratio is the osmotic pressure of the urine divided by the osmotic pressure of the blood
plasma. For example, if an animal’s urine osmotic pressure is 150 mOsm and its plasma osmotic
pressure is 300 mOsm, its osmotic U/P ratio is 0.5

, Book

Cell has 3 main ions : Cl, Na+ and K+ , A typical cell membrane is positively charged on the outside and
negatively charged on the inside. Cl ( chloride)is conncentrated more on the outside also Na+( sodium) ,
K+(potassium ) is inside




Passive-transport mechanisms, by definition, are capable of carrying material only in the direction of
equilibrium(osmosis). Active transport mechanisms, by contrast, can carry material in the direction
opposing equilibrium

Some solutes dissolve in he lipid interor and some molecules need ion channels that permit the
transport of inorganic ions by diffusion through a membrane . They are different channels

Voltage-gated channels open and close in response to changes in the voltage difference across a
membrane

Stretch-gated (tension-gated) channels open or close in response to stretching or pulling forces that
alter the physical tension on a membrane.

Phosphorylation-gated channels open or close according to whether the channel proteins are
phosphorylated

The permeability of a cell membrane to a solute is defined to be the ease with which the solute can
move through the membrane by diffusion
