Why do animals need to breathe?
Breathing is important to organisms because cells require energy (oxygen) to move, reproduce and function. Breath also expels carbon dioxide, which is a by-product of cellular processes within the bodies of animals.
Respiration is the process of releasing energy from food and this takes place inside the cells of the body.
The process of respiration involves taking in oxygen (of air) into cells, using it for releasing energy by burning food, and then eliminating the waste products (carbon dioxide and water) from the body.
Respiration is essential for life because it provides energy for carrying out all the life processes which are necessary to keep the organisms alive.
The energy produced during respiration is stored in the form of ATP (Adenosine Tri- Phosphate) molecules in the cells of the body and used by the organism as when required.
KEY POINTS
Life started in an anaerobic environment in the so called ‘primodial broth’ (a mixture of organic molecules.
Subsequently, oxygen strangely enough became an crucial factor for aerobic metabolism especially in the higher life forms.
The rise of an oxygenic environment was an important event in the diversification of life.
It evoked a dramatic shift from inefficient to sophisticated oxygen dependent oxidizing ecosystems.
Anaerobic fermentation, the metabolic process that prevailed for the first about 2 billion years of the evolution of life, was a very inefficient way of extracting energy from organic molecules. Ex: A molecule of glucose, e.g., produces only two molecules of ATP (≈ 15 kCal) compared with 36 ATP molecules (≈ 263 kCal) in oxygenic respiration.
Aerobic metabolism must have developed at a critical point when the partial pressure of oxygen rose from an initial level to one adequately high to drive it passively across the cell membrane.
Respiration is a complex and highly integrated biomechanical, physiological, and behavioral processes.
The transfer of O2 occurs through a flow of tissue barriers and compartments by diffusion down a partial pressure gradient, which drops to about zero at the mitochondrial level.
Acquisition of molecular oxygen (O2) from the external fluid media (water and air) and the discharge of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the same milieu is the primary role of respiration.
The respiratory system is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures.

wing feather)
2. Head 12. Vent
3. Iris 13. Thigh
4. Pupil 14. Tibio-tarsal
5. Mantle (back) articulation
6. Lesser coverts 15. Tarsus
7. Scapulars 16. Feet
8. Coverts 17. Tibia
9. Tertials (=the 18. Belly
flight feathers 19. Flanks
that closest to 20. Breast
the bird's body 22. Wattle
along the wing)
10. Rump
34. Feathers
One of the most prominent features .
Function;
Provide insulation.
Allow for flight.
Feathers control what a bird looks like by
supplying the bird with colors.
35. Feathers
Basic form;
Hollow, central shaft called a rachis.
A number of smaller side branches.
The side branches are called barbs and are
linked together by a set of barbules and their
"hooklets" sometimes called 'Hamuli‘
The base of the feather - where their are no
side branches - is called the calamus or quill.
36. Skeleton
Birds have a lightweight skeleton.
Most of the bones of flying birds are thin and
hollow.
The keel-shaped sternum (breastbone) - the
powerful flight muscles attach to the body.
37. Skeleton
Part of bone;
Skull
Neck
Thorax and Sternum
Pectoral Girdle
Pelvic Girdle
Wing
Leg and Foot
38. Muscular system
The muscle ventral (underneath) to the pectorals
is the supracoracoideus. It raises the wing
between wingbeats.
The skin muscles help a bird in its flight by
adjusting the feathers, which are attached to the
skin muscle and help the bird in its flight
maneuvers.
39. There are only a few muscles in the trunk and the
tail, but they are very strong and are essential
for the bird.
The pygostyle controls all the movement in the
tail and controls the feathers in the tail.
This gives the tail a larger surface area which
helps keep the bird in the air.
40. Digestive system
The tongue of birds adapted to the type of food
the bird consumes.
Birds have a two part stomach, a glandular portion
known as the proventriculus and a muscular
portion known as the gizzard.
Avian large intestine is reduced to a
short, featureless connection between the small
intestine and the cloaca.
The cloaca is the final holding area for the waste
products of digestion until they are voided
through the vent.
41. Circulatory system
The avian heart has evolved into a large and
powerful organ with rapid muscular contractions.
Generally the smaller the species the larger the
relative heart size.
Birds have hearts larger and ones that beat
faster than mammals.
42. Respiratory system
birds having relatively small lungs plus air sacs
that play an important role in respiration
The air sacs permit a unidirectional flow of air
through the lungs.
Unidirectional flow means that air moving through
bird lungs is largely 'fresh' air and has a higher
oxygen content.
Therefore, in bird lungs, more oxygen is available
to diffuse into the blood.
43. Air flow through the avian lungs and air sacs
during respiration.
On first inhalation, air flows through the
trachea & primarily into the posterior (rear) air
sacs
On first exhalation, air moves from the
posterior air sacs & into the lungs
44. With the second inhalation, air moves from
the lungs & into the anterior (front) air sacs
With the second exhalation, air moves from
the anterior air sacs back into the trachea &
out
It takes two respiratory cycles to move one
"packet" of air completely through the avian
respiratory system.
45. Excretory system
Birds excrete uric acid with their feces.
The white material seen in bird droppings is uric
acid. It is not very toxic and is not very soluble in
water.
Excretion of wastes in the form of uric acid
conserves water because it can be produced in a
concentrated form due to its low toxicity.
46. Because it is relatively insoluble and nontoxic, it
can accumulate in eggs without damaging the
embryos.
The synthesis of uric acid requires more energy
than urea synthesis.
There is no urinary bladder in birds.
47. Nervous and sensory system
The birds’ nervous system is very similar to
human.
Both are made up of the brain, the spinal
cord, and countless nerves throughout the body
that transmit messages to and from the brain.
Birds have well-developed brains, but the enlarged
portion seems to be the area responsible for
instinctive behavior. Therefore, birds, follow very
definite patterns of migration and nesting.
48. FLIGHT
Bird wing as a lift device
In birds, two kinds of wing slots have
developed :
1) The alula , or a group of small feathers
on the thumb, which
provides a mid -wing slot
2) Slotting between the primary feathers,
which provides a wing-tip slot.
49. Flapping flight
Two forces are required for flapping flight
vertical lifting force to support the bird’s
weight
horizontal thrusting force to move the
bird forward against resistive forces of
friction
50. Basic forms of a bird wings
Four types of bird wings are easily
recognized
Elliptical Wings
High-aspect Ratio Wings
Dynamic soaring Wings
High-lift Wings
51. Reproductive system
Males repductive organ
Most of the year
- Testes tiny, bean-shaped bodes
During breeding season
- Testes will enlarge greatly as much as 300 times
their non-breeding size
52. Females reproductive
organ
- Only left ovary and
oviduct develop (figure
1.2) ; those on the right
dwindle to vestigial
structures (loss of one
ovary is another
adaptation of birds for
reducing weight)
53. Nesting and care of young
Newly hatched bird divided
Altricial Precocial
- Naked and unable to walk or - Include
see at birth, remain in the quail, fowl, ducks, and most
nest for a weeks or more. water birds.
- Covered with down when
hatched and can run or swim
as soon as their plumage is
dry.
59. Secara jujur:
Tak satupun penonton benar-benar
percaya bahawa katak-katak kecil
boleh berjaya mencapai puncak
menara.
Terdengar ada yang berkata:
"Oh, jalannya terlalu susahhhhh!!
Mereka TIDAK AKAN BOLEH sampai ke
puncak."
dan:
"Tidak ada kesempatan untuk
berjaya...Menaranya
terlalu tinggi...!!
64. ...Tapi ada SATU yang tetap
melangkah hingga semakin
tinggi dan tinggi...
Dia tak mahu menyerah kalah!
65. Akhirnya yang lain telah menyerah
untuk menaiki menara. Kecuali
seekor katak kecil yang begitu
berusaha keras dan menjadi satu-
satunya yang BERJAYA sampai
KE PUNCAK!
66. SEMUA katak kecil yang lain
ingin tahu bagaimana katak itu
boleh melakukannya?
?
69. Nasihat dari cerita ini
adalah:
Jangan sesekali mendengar kata orang lain
yang mempunyai kecenderungan negatif
ataupun pesimis...
…kerana mereka akan mengambil sebahagian
besar mimpimu dan menjauhkannya darimu.
70. Selalulah fikirkan kata-
kata bertuah yang ada.
Kerana segala sesuatu
yang kau dengar dan kau
baca boleh
mempengaruhi
perilakumu!
