Presentation Transcript

  1. Fish Anatomy

  2. Anatomy/Physiology Definition of terms: • Anterior (cranial) toward the head • Posterior (caudal) toward the tail • Cranial head region • Caudal pertaining to the tail region • Dorsal toward the back of the animal • Ventral toward the belly of the animal • Medial toward the median line • Distal away from the center or origin • Proximal toward the center or origin

  3. External Anatomy of fish The body: divided into head, trunk, and tail. The scales: Head is covered by epidermis and some scales. Anatomy/physiology

  4. External Anatomy of fish Lateral line: is present along middle side of body. Head: Nares: located on dorsal side of the anterior end of head. Each naris is divided into two portions which permits water to circulate through the olfactory sac. Anatomy/physiology

  5. External Anatomy of fish Head: Eyes:located in lateral position at anterior end of head. Ears: Operculum: Located at the posterior and lateral positions of the head. Gill arch: Beneath the operculum are located four pair of gill arches. Anatomy/physiology

  6. External Anatomy of fish Head: Gill arch: Each arch bears a gill on its outer surface. Each gill consists of two rows of filaments. Each filament consists of numerous lamellae. Inner margin of arch bears a single row of tooth-like projections the gill rakers. Anatomy/physiology

  7. Sensory perception of the fish: Sight: Sight is the predominant sense of salmon. Hearing: Lateral line perceives sounds of low wave length. Ear perceived sounds of higher wave length. Equilibrium: Organs of equilibrium are the lateral line and the ear. Anatomy/physiology

  8. Sensory perception of the fish: Touch:  Smell: Long range perception of chemicals Preceptors of smell through olfactory sac Taste: Taste is the perception of chemicals upon contact. Taste buds: Taste buds located on tongue and head. Anatomy/physiology

  9. Sensory perception of the fish: Kinesthetic perception: Temperature: Function of lateral line Anatomy/physiology

  10. Functions of various sense organs: Eye: Sight Ear: Equilibrium and hearing Nares: Smell Lateral line: Hearing, equilibrium, touch, perception, and temperature Anatomy/physiology

  11. Internal Anatomy Skeletal system: The function of the skeletal system is one of support. Skeletal tissues: Axial skeleton: Head, trunk, and tail regions. Head: Trunk skeleton: modified portion of the vertebral column. Tail skeleton: remainder of the vertebral column Anatomy/physiology

  12. Supporting tissues: Connective tissue: ligaments, tendons, septa, fascia, and mesenteries. Ligaments: tough bands of tissue between bones. Tendons: thick narrow bands by which muscles are attached to the skeleton. Septa: are heavy tissues which separate various portions of the body. Fascia: are the thin sheets of connective tissue which surround muscles. Mesenteries: are delicate tissues which support the organs of the body cavity. Anatomy/physiology

  13. Muscular system: Three types of muscle tissue: smooth, striated, and cardiac. Smooth and cardiac: muscles are involuntary. Striated muscle is voluntary. Smooth or involuntary muscles: Found in various organs Cardiac muscle: is striated but involuntary. Primary function of muscles is motion and locomotion. Anatomy/physiology

  14. Digestive system: Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, pyloric cecae, liver and pancreas. Mouth: grasping organ; teeth function to retain prey. Pharynx: leads to the esophagus: Esophagus: muscular tube leading from the pharynx to the stomach. Anatomy/physiology

  15. Digestive system: Stomach: consists of two parts: Cardiac: Pyloric: At end of pyloric section: heavy muscle Pyloric sphincter: Anatomy/physiology

  16. Digestive system: Intestine: duodenum, and small and large intestines. Duodenum: short portion of the intestine pyloric caeca are attached and which receives the bile duct and the pancreatic duct Small intestine: predominant portion of intestinal tract. Large intestine: extremely short and located just anterior to the anus. Anatomy/physiology

  17. Digestive glands in the salmon and trout include the gastric and intestinal glands, the liver, and the pancreas. Gastric glands: Intestinal glands: Liver: a bilobed organ located in the anterior and left lateral portion of the body cavity Gall bladder: a thin-walled sac embedded in the liver, Bile duct: Anatomy/physiology

  18. Pancreas: diffuse gland located on the pyloric caeca Pancreatic duct: discharge enzymes into the intestine Pancreatic juices contain 3 enzymes that act on proteins, carbohydrates, and fats Anatomy/physiology

  19. Respiratory system: Gills: Function to exchange gases Oxygen absorbed through gills into blood Gas exchange: Flow from dense to less dense Air bladder: doesn’t function as respiratory organ in salmonids Fry and fingerling stages: air bladder connected by duct to the esophagus (surface feeding?) Anatomy/physiology

  20. Circulatory system: Blood and lymph systems Blood: Fluid tissue – liquid plasma and cellular components Plasma: 80% water Proteins and carbohydrates Waste materials (urea and uric acid) Mineral salts Enzyme secretions from glands Antibodies Anatomy/physiology

  21. Blood cells Red cells (erythrocytes) Flattened, nucleated cells with hemoglobin White cells (leukocytes) Thrombocytes: Present in blood and aid in formation of blood clots Blood vessels: Closed system which blood circulates – heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries Heart: Consists of 2 chambers - auricle(atrium) and ventricle Anatomy/physiology

  22. Lymph system: consists of plasma and leukocytes Starts in the intercellular spaces and eventually empty into veins Spleen is associated with lymphatic system GALT and MALT Blood producing organs: Functions is same as bone marrow in mammals Spleen, lymph nodes, and thymus: Anatomy/physiology

  23. Primary functions of major organs: Pancreas: Spleen: produces leukocytes, serves as a storage space for RBCs, and destroys worn out red blood cells Kidney: divided into 2 parts Anterior: produces red and white blood cells Posterior: Swim bladder: hydrostatic organ Anatomy/physiology

  24. Heart: serves to move blood through circulatory system – consists of atrium, ventricle, and bulbous arteriosis (smoothes out pressure to steady flow) Liver: Detoxification, digestion, excretion, and hematopoiesis Digestion: secretion of bile salts Excretion: destruction of worn out RBCs, conversion of hemoglobin into bile salts and ammonium salts into urea The liver also serves for storage of glycogen (animal starch) Anatomy/physiology

  25. Gastro-intestinal tract: Cardiac and pyloric stomach: Pyloric caeca: Small intestine: digestion and absorption of food Enzymes secreted by glands – break down proteins and carbohydrates Carbs. and proteins absorbed directly in to bloodstream Large intestine: serves as storage space for accumulation of waste before excretion Anatomy/physiology
