Animal Structures and Function • Animals are composed of a variety of interdependent systems • No one system can function entirely on its own • In order to keep animals healthy, producers make sure that all systems function properly.
Skeletal System • Function • Provides frame and support for all systems and organs. • Cartilage • Firm, flexible tissues that is not as hard as bone
Skeletal System • Bone • Attach muscles • Means of movement • Protect internal organs • Storage of minerals
Skeletal System • Layers of Bone • Periosteum • Outer layer • Cushions the hard portion of the bone • Repair of broken bones
Skeletal System • Layers of Bone • Compact Bone • beneath periosteum • layer of hard mineral matter • Calcium • gives bones strength
Skeletal System • Layers of Bone • Spongy Bone • Inside hard outer layer • fills ends of bones • lines hollow portions
Skeletal System • Layers of Bone • Red marrow • inside cavities of spongy bone • formation of red blood cells
Skeletal System • Layers of Bone • Yellow marrow • Located inside hollow portion • Fat storage cells • Energy storage
Skeletal System • Types of Bone • Long Bones • Longest • Provide support and movement • Levers • Example -- legs, ribs, pelvic bones
Skeletal System • Types of Bone • Short Bones • Smaller than long • Joints • Comfort and mobility • Example -- feet and hands
Skeletal System • Types of Bone • Irregular Bones • Have an irregular shape • Support and protect • Example -- vertebrae
Skeletal System • Types of Bone • Flat Bones • Thin and flat • Protect organs • Example -- skull
Skeletal System • Joints • Where different bones meet • Ligaments • Connect bones together; tough tissue
Skeletal System • Joints • Classified by the way they move.
Muscle System • Function • To provide movement for the proper functioning of the organs. • Meat production • Muscles are processed into meat • 30-40% of the animal’s body is muscle.
Muscle System • Skeletal Muscle • Movement for the bones • Voluntary movement • Composed of long, striated bundles that contract and relax
Muscle System • Skeletal Muscle • Red Muscle • Contain many mitochondria; • Lots of blood; contract for long periods of time
Muscle System • Skeletal Muscle • White Muscle • Fewer mitochondria • Contract faster • Fatigue faster.
Muscle System • Smooth Muscle • Movement • Controls movements of the internal organs • Involuntary. • Examples-- Digestive tract, urinary tract
Muscle System • Cardiac Muscle • Movement • Muscles that control the heart • Involuntary
Circulatory System • Function • Transports • Water • Oxygen • Wastes • Regulates temperature • Removes disease
Circulatory System • Heart • Center of the circulatory system • Large muscle • Pumpscontinuously
Circulatory System • Blood Vessels • Arteries • Vessels that take blood away from the heart • Veins • Vessels that return blood to the heart
Circulatory System • Capillaries • Connect arteries and veins • Deliver nutrients to the cells • Take away waste
Circulatory System • Red Blood cells • Give blood color • Carry oxygen • White Blood cells • Destroy disease • Pus
Circulatory System • Four Chambers • Right Atrium • Receives blood into heart from body, from veins • Right Ventricle • Pumps blood out to the lungs • Left Atrium • Receives blood into heart from lungs • Left Ventricle • Pumps blood out into body via arteries
Lungs Veins Right Atrium Left Atrium Left Ventricle Right Ventricle Arteries
Respiratory System • Function: • Takes oxygen from the air • Places it in the bloodstream • Removes carbon dioxide
Respiratory System • Structures • Nostrils • Large amounts of air • Nasal Chamber • Mouth • Brings in air
Respiratory System • Structures • Pharynx • Passageway for • Food • Water • Air • Controlled by epiglottis
Respiratory System • Larynx • Voice box (Adam’s apple) • Prevents material from entering lungs. • Trachea • Large tube • Made of rigid cartilaginous rings
Respiratory System • Bronchi • Branch out further • Lungs • Gas exchange
Respiratory System • Alveoli • Surrounded by blood vessels • Carbon dioxide is removed from blood • Oxygen is absorbed into blood
Respiratory System • Diaphragm • Large muscle under the lungs • When contracted, rib cage expands and air comes in • When the diaphragm relaxes, air is forced out
Nervous System • Function: • Central system • Motor Control • Sensation
Nervous System • Nerves • Long fiber like structures • Motor Neurons • Controls impulses sent from the brain • To other parts of the body
Nervous System • Sensory Neurons • Send impulses from the body to the brain. • Spinal Cord • All nerves are connected • Runs through the backbone (vertebra)
Nervous System • Brain • Center of the nervous system • Divided into 3 sections
Nervous System • Brain • 1. Cerebrum • Largest • Controls thought process • Ouch!
Nervous System • Brain • 2. Cerebellum • Coordinator center for the cerebrum • Many movements are required to walk, eat, etc…
Nervous System • Brain • 3. Medulla oblongata • Involuntary activities • Heart beat • Digestion • Breathing • Body Temp. • Feeling – Fear or Thirst
Nervous System • Brain Stem • Connects the spinal cord to the cerebrum.
Digestive System • Function: • Animal takes in food • Digested in to a form that the body can use. • Basic elements – Oxygen, Iron, Potassium, etc…
Digestive System • Monogastric • Simple stomach • One compartment • Pigs • Horse • Dog • Cat • Birds
