1. Respiration involves the exchange of gases between an organism and its environment. Respiratory systems have evolved specialized structures with large surface areas to facilitate gas exchange through diffusion.
2. Aquatic organisms rely on gills for respiration, while terrestrial organisms rely on lungs or tracheal systems. Gills provide a moist surface and countercurrent flow maximizes oxygen uptake. Lungs have a large surface area provided by alveoli.
3. Oxygen is transported via hemoglobin in red blood cells, while carbon dioxide is transported as bicarbonate ions and by binding to hemoglobin. Respiratory pigments like hemoglobin enhance the diffusion of gases in the circulatory system.
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.

Physiology of Respiration in InvertebratesPRANJAL SHARMA
In physiology, respiration is the movement of oxygen from the outside environment to the cells within tissues, and the removal of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction. In these slides you will get to know about Physiology of Respiration in Invertibrates.
Modification in respiratory organs and respiration in endoparasitic insectsPoojaVishnoi7
Respiration (physiology), transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide between cells and the external environment.
An insect's respiratory system is the biological system with which it introduces respiratory gases to its interior and performs gas exchange.
The primary goals of the insect respiratory system are to deliver oxygen from the air to the tissues and to transport carbon dioxide from the tissues to air.
In contrast to many other animals, most oxygen and carbon dioxide transport occurs in the gas phase, with gases transported through the tracheal system by diffusion.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. Cellular respiration is the aerobic breakdown of
glucose in the mitochondria to make ATP.
Respiratory systems are the organs in animals that
exchange gases with the environment.
“Respiration” is an everyday term that is often
used to mean “breathing.”
4. Respiration in animals
• Whether they live in water or on land, all animals must
respire.
– To respire means to take in oxygen and give off carbon
dioxide.
• Some animals rely of simple diffusion through their
skin to respire.
• While others…
• Have developed large complex organ systems for
respiration.
5. Invertebrate respiration
• Invertebrate respiratory organs have
–large surface areas
–contact with air or water
–If require diffusion they must be moist.
Aquatic invertebrates : have naturally moist respiratory
surfaces, and some respire through diffusion through
their skin.
– Example: jellyfish and anemones
• Some larger aquatic animals like worms and annelids
exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide through gills.
– Gills are organs that have lots of blood vessels that bring blood
close to the surface for gas exchange.
6. Terrestrial Invertebrates
• Terrestrial invertebrates have respiratory surfaces
covered with water or mucus. (reduces water loss)
• There are many different respiratory specialized
organs in terrestrial invertebrates.
– Spiders use parallel book lungs
– Insects use openings called spiracles where air
enters the body and passes through a network of
tracheal tubes for gas exchange
– Snails have a mantel cavity that is lined with moist
tissue and an extensive surface area of blood vessels.
8. Vertebrate respiratory systems
• Chordates have one of two basic structures
for respiration:
– Gills – for aquatic chordates
• Example: tunicates, fish and amphibians
– Lungs - for terrestrial chordates
• Examples: adult amphibians, reptiles, birds, and
mammals
9. Aquatic Gills
• Water flows
through the mouth
then over the gills
where oxygen is
removed
• Carbon dioxide and
water are then
pumped out
through the
operculum
10. Vertebrate lungs
• As you move from amphibians to mammals the
surface area of the lungs increases
– Insures a greater amount of gas exchange (or a two way
flow of air).
• Birds, by contrast have lungs and air sacs which
have only a one-way flow of air.
– This allows for them to have constant contact with fresh
air.
– This adaptation enables them to fly at high altitudes
where there is less oxygen.
12. Gas exchange by Diffusion
• Some animals simply allow gases to diffuse
through their skins.
13. Fick’s Law of Diffusion
• Gas exchange involves the diffusion of gases across a
membrane
• Rate of diffusion (R) is governed by Fick’s Law:
• R = DA p
d
D= diffusion constant (size of molecule, membrane permeability, etc)
A= area over which diffusion occurs
p = pressure difference between sides of the membrane
d = distance across which diffusion must occur
14. Fick’s Law of Diffusion
R = DA p
d
To maximize diffusion, R can be increased by:
Increasing A (area over which diffusion occurs)
Increasing p (pressure difference between sides of
the membrane)
Decreasing d (distance across which diffusion must occur)
Evolutionary changes have occurred to maximize R
16. GAS EXCHANGE in “Animals”
• The part of the organism across which gases
are exchanged with the environment is the
respiratory surface
• Must be moist
–plasma membranes must be surrounded
by water to be stable
• Must be sufficiently large
–maximize A in Fick’s Law

and the epipodites connected to
them. The arthrobranchs are not

27. Comparative Respiratory Systems
Respiratory surface = a single layer of epithelial cells separates outer
respiratory medium (air or water) from the organism’s transport
system (blood)
28. – Skin must be moist
– organisms with flat or
wormlike bodies so skin in
sufficient surface area
– or in frogs and some turtles
to supplement respiration
using lungs
• Skin (cutaneous respiration)
29. • Specialized region of body is folded and branched to
provide large surface area
• This maximizes A in Fick’s Law
• Also decrease d by bringing the respiratory medium
close to the internal fluid
• Three such systems:
– Gills (Aquatic organisms)
– Trachea (insects)
– Lungs (terrestrial vertebrates)
30.
31. Diversity in the structure of gills, external body surfaces in gas exchange
32. Gills
• most aquatic organisms
• outfoldings of the body surface specialized
for gas exchange
• Water is the respiratory medium
33. Water as Respiratory Medium
• Respiratory surface always moist
• Oxygen content of water is much less than
that of air
• denser medium so harder to ventilate
34. Ventilation
• Any method that increases the flow of the
respiratory medium across the respiratory
surface
• This maximizes p in Fick’s Law
– By constantly have new air or new water with
more oxygen
37. Countercurrent Exchange
• Enhances gas exchange in the gills of fish
• blood is continually loaded with O2 b/c it
meets water with increasing O2
concentration
– Increases p in Fick’s Law
39. Air as respiratory medium
• Higher oxygen concentration
• ventilation is easier b/c air is less dense
• respiratory surface loses water to air by
evaporation
40. Air as respiratory medium
• Solution…
– fold respiratory surface inside the body
41. Trachea
• Air tubes that branch throughout the body
• finest tubes (tracheoles) extend to nearly
every cell in the body
• gas diffuses across moist epithelium that
lines the terminal ends

53. In the alveolus
• The respiratory
surface is made
up of the alveoli
and capillary
walls.
• The walls of the
capillaries and the
alveoli may share
the same
membrane.
54. Gas exchange
• Air entering the lungs
contains more oxygen
and less carbon
dioxide than the blood
that flows in the
pulmonary capillaries.
56. Carbon dioxide transport
• Carbon dioxide
can dissolve in
plasma, and about
70% forms
bicarbonate ions.
• Some carbon
dioxide can bind to
hemoglobin for
transport.
57. Lungs
• Ventilation
– air sacs act as bellows in birds
• air flows in one direction during both inhalation &
exhalation
