• Tissues are classified into four main categories: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
Tissue Structure and Function
Humans: 210 different cell types – can you name them?! ;)

Tissue Structure and Function
Epithelial cells are attached to a basal lamina at their base.

Connective Tissue
Connective tissue
binds / supports other tissues•sparsely packed cells scattered in extracellular matrix•matrix - fibers in a liquid, jellylike, or solid foundation
There are six main types of connective tissue.

Muscle Tissue
• Muscle tissue: long cells (muscle fibers) that contract in response to nerve signals
Skeletal muscle - striated, voluntary movement
Smooth muscle – not striated, involuntary body activities
Cardiac muscle – striated, contraction of the heart

Tissue Structure and Function
• Nervous tissue senses stimuli, transmits signals
Nervous tissue contains:
Neurons transmit nerve
impulsesGlial cells nourish, insulate,
and replenish neurons

Feedback control loops maintain the internal environment in many animals
Examples of negative and positive feedback?
Feedback control loops maintain the internal environment in many animals
• Animals manage their internal environment by regulating or conforming to the external environment
control center
17
• Five general adaptations help animals thermoregulate:
– Insulation– Circulatory adaptations– Cooling by evaporative
heat loss– Behavioral responses– Adjusting metabolic heat
production
Balancing Heat Loss and Gain

18
Temperature Regulation
• Thermoregulation: process by which animals maintain an internal temperature
(a) A walrus, an endotherm
(b) A lizard, an ectotherm
• Endothermic animals generate heat by metabolism (birds and mammals)
• Ectothermic animals gain heat from external sources (invertebrates, fishes, amphibians, and non-avian reptiles)
19
• Homoeotherm: animals with constant temperature• Ex: River otter
• Poikilotherm: animals with varied body temperature with environment• Ex: Largemouth bass
Temperature Regulation
20
• Metabolic rate is the amount of energy an animal uses in a unit of time
Energy Use
Measured by amount of oxygen consumed or carbon dioxide produced
• Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the metabolic rate of an endotherm at rest at a “comfortable” temperature

Energy Use
Human average daily metabolic rate is only 1.5X BMR!

Energy Budgeting
• Hibernation is long-term torpor that is an adaptation to winter cold and food scarcity
• Torpor = physiological state with low activity and metabolism decreased – allows animals to save energy while avoiding difficult and dangerous conditions

Things To Do After Lecture 9…Reading and Preparation:
1. Re-read today’s lecture, highlight all vocabulary you do not understand, and look up terms.
2. Ch. 40 Self-Quiz: #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (correct answers in back of book)
3. Read chapter 40, focus on material covered in lecture (terms, concepts, and figures!)
4. Skim next lecture.
“HOMEWORK” (NOT COLLECTED – but things to think about for studying):
1. Describe the relationship between surface area and volume for a small cell compared to a large cell. Which is more efficient at exchange with the environment?
2. List the four types of tissues in animals – for each one, give several examples.
3. Define basal metabolic rate. Which would use more energy for homeostatic regulation, a small human or a large snake? Why?
4. Explain the difference between torpor and hibernation.
