They will move toenvironments where temperature is close to their optimum. Lizardsand snakes, bask on rocks in order to warm their bodies on cool,sunny mornings. Heat is gained through conduction and radiation. On hot days they move to cooler places in burrows or under shades. Body size and heat lossThe amount of heat produced AUTHOR animalbody is proportional to its mass. Large animals produce more heatthan smaller ones. However, the rate of heat loss from the animalbody is directly proportional to its surface area to volume ratio. Large animals have a smaller surface area to volume ratiocompared to small animals e.g. the surface area to volume ratio ofan adult elephant is about 70 times smaller than that of a rat. Thismeans that each cubic unit of a rat s body has 70 times more areaavailable for heat loss as compared to an elephant. A rat willtherefore lose body heat much faster than an elephant. It follows that in order to maintain a given body temperature,smaller animals will require to raise their metabolic rate to a muchhigher level than large animals. Therefore the smaller animalsrequire a plentiful supply of food to provide the necessaryrespiratory substrates. In addition to the mechanisms outlined above animals alsohave developed adaptive features that help in body temperatureregulation. These are structural adaptations which control theextent of heat loss or gain on a long term basis. They includepossession of fur or hair and large quantities subcutaneous fatlayers as in the polar bear. Desert animals like the camel possesstissues tolerant to high temperatures. Study Question4. People in the tropics tend to be thin and tall compared to thosein the arctic regions who tend to be short and plump. Account forthese observations in relation to body temperature regulation. Osmoregulation Water and NAME The relative amounts of water and solutes in the blood, tissue fluidand protoplasm determine their osmotic pressure. If the osmoticpressure of these fluids were to change, drastic events would occursuch that metabolic activities of the cells would be hampered.
People in the tropics tend to be thin and tall compared to thosein the arctic regions who tend to be short and plump. Account forthese observations in relation to body temperature regulation. Osmoregulation Water and NAME The relative amounts of water and solutes in the blood, tissue fluidand protoplasm determine their osmotic pressure. If the osmoticpressure of these fluids were to change, drastic events would occursuch that metabolic activities of the cells would be hampered. Forexample, if the osmotic pressure of the tissue fluid falls below thatof cells, the cells will take in water AUTHOR , swell and may burst. On the other hand, cells would lose water and shrink if the osmoticpressure of tissue fluid was higher than that of the cells. Osmoregulation attempts to maintain an optimum osmotic pressurein the body tissues and fluids that is favourable to normalfunctioning of cells. The body gains water through drinking, food taken in andmetabolic water and loses through sweat, faeces, urine and exhaledair. These losses and gains produce corresponding changes in thequantities of salts and water. The balance is mainly carried out bythe kidney and neuro-endocrine hypothalamus and pituitary gland system. When the osmotic pressure of the blood rises as a result ofdehydration, the hypothalamus is stimulated and sends impulsesto the pituitary gland which releases a hormone called antidiuretichormone ADH or vasopressin into the blood. On reaching thekidney, the distal convoluted tubules and collecting tubules becomemore permeable to water which is then reabsorbed into the bloodstream. Consequently the osmotic pressure of the blood is loweredand concentrated urine is produced. When the osmotic pressure ofthe blood falls due to a large intake of water, the pituitary gland isless stimulated. This results to reduced release of ADH into theblood stream. The kidney tubules become less permeable to waterand less reabsorption of water into blood stream takes place. Theosmotic pressure of blood rises and dilute urine is produced. Regulation of Ionic ContentSalts dissolve in water and then undergo dissociation to form ions. For example sodium chloride forms sodium Na and chloride Cl- ions.
This results to reduced release of ADH into theblood stream. The kidney tubules become less permeable to waterand less reabsorption of water into blood stream takes place. Theosmotic pressure of blood rises and dilute urine is produced. Regulation of Ionic ContentSalts dissolve in water and then undergo dissociation to form ions. For example sodium chloride forms sodium Na and chloride Cl- ions. These ions and many others such as potassium K ,magnesium Mg2 , calcium Ca2 and phosphates PO4 3- areimportant in body processes like protein synthesis, respiration,nervous co-ordination and muscle contraction. Their balance in bodymust be regulated within narrow ranges of their optimumconcentrations for efficient functioning of these processes. A hormone called aldosterone, which is produced AUTHOR , regulates the level of sodium ions. When the level of sodiumions is low in the blood, adrenal glands are stimulated to releasealdosterone into the blood which then stimulate loop of Henle ofkidney and the gut to reabsorb sodium ion into the blood. If thesodium ions concentration in the blood rises above optimum level,adrenal glands produce less aldosterone into the blood and lessamounts of sodium ions are absorbed. It should be realised that assodium ions are absorbed in the blood, chloride ions follow in orderto neutralise the charge on the sodium ions. Diabetes InsipidusWhen the pituitary gland is unable to produce antidiuretic hormoneor produces it in inadequate amount, the kidney tubules are unableto reabsorb water from the glomerular filtrate. This leads toproduction of a large amount of dilute urine a condition known asdiuresis . The patient becomes dehydrated and has to compensatefor the loss AUTHOR water. NAME of the Skin in Salt and Water balanceAlthough the skin is not the main organ of osmoregulation, it hassweat glands which secrete waste products of metabolism such aswater, mineral salts especially sodium chloride. These wastes arelost in form of sweat through the pores in the skin. About 99 of the sweat is water while the remaining 1 ismainly mineral salts. The water and mineral salts lost in the sweatcontribute to osmotic changes of the body cells and fluids.

These wastes arelost in form of sweat through the pores in the skin. About 99 of the sweat is water while the remaining 1 ismainly mineral salts. The water and mineral salts lost in the sweatcontribute to osmotic changes of the body cells and fluids. On a hotday, the body loses a lot of water and some mineral salts, resultingin a sensation of thirst being felt due to tissue dehydration. Theosmotic balance is, however, restored AUTHOR , and intake of mineral salts in the diet. Regulation of NAME sugars, galactose and fructose taken to the liver from thealimentary canal AUTHOR converted to glucose. Glucose is then broken down to release energy and excess isconverted to glycogen and stored in the liver or converted into fatsand stored in adipose tissues. Some glucose flows in the generalcirculation of blood and is maintained within a narrow range of 90to 100 mg per 100 cm3 of blood. Fluctuations do occur due to largesupply or increased utilisation of glucose. The liver carries out the control of these events through twohormones produced AUTHOR glucagon arethe two pancreatic hormones produced AUTHOR thepancreas in the islets of langerhans and released into the bloodstream. Their effects are carried out in the liver. Functions of insulinin many cases are antagonistic to those of glucagon. For example,high concentration of insulin in the liver converts excess glucose toglycogen for storage, inhibits change of glycogen to glucose,converts glucose into fats and increases breakdown of glucose torelease energy. Glucagon at high concentration increasesbreakdown of glycogen into glucose, also fats, proteins and aminoacids to glucose. Generally insulin tends to lower glucoseconcentration in the blood while glucagon increases it. It alsomeans that a low sugar content in the blood stream stimulatespancreas to release glycagon and inhibits production of insulin andvice versa.
