Life on Earth Con.

  • Small changes is evolution
  • all systems evole together 
  • heart is pump in open and closed
  • all cells have to be surrounded by water
  • animals started running faster and needed more oxygen
  • Amphibian-cold blooded, not very big or active, heart works well-3 chambers
  • Four chambers-Birds and mammals
  • Veins can grow-cells do not fit together
  • Lymphatic system-lymph baths every cell-lymph tissue=blood plasma
  • We developed from protists
  • Small animals could breather through skin
  • Gills evolved early on, not only fish have
  • Tracheal tubes have spiracles in insect
  • Gases exchanged rapidly, lungs inflate gills
  • Air pushs over gills which are extensions of blood vessels
  • Lungs have branches with air sacs called the Alvelus
  • Branched allows for more surface area to be covered
  • Excretory Systems
  • Chyme is thrown up food, which the somach adds water to
  • Digestion chemically rots food
  • Villi increase the surface area, they are filled with blood vessels
  • Large intestine absorbs water
  • Diffusion=microorganism
  • Flame cells fill u and contract moving waste to a excretory tubule
  • Malpighian tubes-Kidneys, extract waste
  • Nephridia serve the same functions because they are kidneys
