Lecture 15 organismal physiology animal circulation con"t. Systems between us and the fish are similar closed and relatively high pressure system. If you have a high pressure system, you want it to be closed. Within chordate, there are open and closed system, but primarily. A terrestrial organismal which can strand needs to deliver blood to its. This fish here is hanging if it were alive it would die, can"t overcome. Blood moves the opposite direction of the water coming in and extracts. Bright red is good check the gills and that means the organism is. There is an opercular plate which covers the gills water passes in the. So directional flow system unlike our lungs which is tidal flow. Heart sits very close to the gills. Here the circulatory mechanical view is very different from us and the. The heart pumps blood into the gills right away (high pressure system.

1) At what point is the amount of oxygen at its highest?

		in the capillaries during strenous activity
		in the lungs
		in the capillaries at rest
		in muscle tissue during strenous activity

2) You have diagnosed a patient with an iron deficiency. Themost likely result of this is

		low carbon dioxide content
		very red blood
		low oxygen content
		high oxygen content

3) Why are insects limited to relatively small sizes?

		Their respiratory system relies on diffusion which is slow overlong distances
		Their respiratory muscles are smooth muscle only
		They have a closed circulatory system
		Their exoskeleton cannot support larger-bodied animals

4) Air rushes into the lungs of humans during inhalationbecause

		the volume of the thoracic cavity increases
		pressure in the alveoli increases
		the diaphragm contracts and pushes upward on the chestcavity
		smooth muscle lining the trachea and bronchi contracts andcauses their volume to increase

1. In lecture, we described a simple osmotic pressure gradient when discussing osmosis. For question #1, describe the simple osmotic pressure gradient, in terms of osmotic pressure, that exists across the red blood cell plasma membrane when red blood cells are suspended in a severely hypotonic solution, such as a 0.2% NaCl solution. Use scientific terminology.

2. We mentioned in class that biological systems are always in a state of osmotic equilibrium due to a combination of solute diffusion in some cases and osmosis in others. In this experiment, when you add the red blood cells to a severely hypotonic solution, what substances are moving across the red blood cell plasma membrane to achieve osmotic equilibrium, Na+ and Cl- or water? Explain why based on your understanding of the permeability characteristics of biological membrane. Always use scientific language.

CAN QUESTIONS 1 AND 2 BE ANSWERED DIRECTLY AND ADEQUATLEY PLEASE.

HERE IS AN INTRO TO THE LAB EXPERIMENT

Intro:

We have known for a very long time that the mammalian red blood cell plasma membrane is very permeable to water. Even the introductory biology student understands that if you put mammalian red blood cells in water, they will rapidly swell and break open (hemolyze) due to the rapid osmosis of water into the cell. The experimental question we are asking in today's lab experiment is "Is the high water permability of mammalian red blood cell plasma membrane due solely to the lipid bilayer, or are there water channels present in the membrane?"

Experimental Design:

It has been shown by several investigators that water movement through water channels can be blocked by the known K+ channel blocker, tetraethylammonium chloride (TEAC). Brooks, Regan and Yool (2000) showed that TEAC reduces the water permeability of human water channels expressed in the plasma membranes of frog ocytes. After preincubation of the oocytes for 15 min with 100 microM TEAC, the water permeability of frog oocyte plasma membrane containing human water channels was reduced 20 to 40%. The investigators concluded that treatment of cells with TEAC can be useful in determining the presence of aquaporins in membranes.The specific objective of today's experiment is to uncover the presence of water channels in mammalian red blood cell plasma membrane by determining the effect of tetraethylammonium chloride on the water permeability of mammalian RBC plasma membrane.
