Study Notes
Freshwater Animals
-
Potassium Concentration: Brown trout have the highest potassium ion concentration in their plasma.
-
Crayfish Kidney: The antennal gland in crayfish is analogous to the kidney.
-
Osmotic U/P Ratio: Snails have the highest osmotic U/P ratio.
-
Sodium Transport: Freshwater animals use active transport to move sodium into their bodies.
-
Sodium Concentration Change: If the sodium concentration in a frog's environment decreases, sodium intake from the environment will continue to occur by active transport.
Chloride Concentration Change
- If the chloride concentration in a frog's environment decreases, intake will be via active transport.
Excess Protons in Fish Gills
- Excess protons in fish gills are a product of carbon dioxide reacting with water.
Chloride Exchange in Adult Freshwater Fish
- Chloride exchange in adult freshwater fish primarily occurs in the gills.
Gas Exchange in Freshwater Teleosts
- Gas exchange in adult freshwater teleosts takes place within lamellae of the gills.
Chloride Cells Organelle Abundance
- Mitochondria are the most abundant organelle in chloride cells.
Calcium Concentration Decrease on Chloride Cells
- Decreasing the calcium concentration in a freshwater fish's environment will result in an increase in the number of chloride cells.
Hyposmotic Organisms to Seawater
- Teleosts are most hyposmotic to seawater.
Osmotic Pressure in Freshwater Teleosts
- Blood osmotic pressure in freshwater teleosts is lower than the osmotic pressure of freshwater.
Sodium Movement in Fish Gills
- Sodium movement in fish gills relies on permeability, concentration gradient, and electrical gradient.
NKCC Location in Marine Teleosts
- NKCCs in marine teleost mitochondria-rich cells are located on the basolateral membrane.
Chloride Movement in Marine Teleosts
- Chloride moves by secondary active transport in marine teleosts, utilizing ATP indirectly.
Salinity Tolerance
- Species able to survive a broad range of salinity are called euryhaline.
Anadromous Animals
- Animals that ascend rivers from the ocean to breed are called anadromous.
Evaporative Water Loss
- Ostrich has the lowest weight-specific total rate of evaporative water loss.
Figure Measurement
- The figure measures Urine osmotic pressure of various animals.
Goose Plotting on Figure
- A goose would be plotted far below the black line on the figure, near the average weight of a goose.
Aquaporin Insertion Effect
- Inserting additional aquaporins to the pelvic patch membrane of a frog will result in increased water permeability.
