Document Summary

The bronchioles: the bronchioles tend to be narrower and have less cartilage than the trachea and bronchi. Their walls are mainly made up of smooth muscle and elastic fibres, though they still have a lining of ciliated epithelium. Larger animals require a variety of different tissues to support them. This means that they have a bigger size, so substances take longer to diffuse to an from their internal tissues; also they have a smaller surface- area-to-volume ratio, so substances can"t diffuse fast enough. In addition, animals that are more active use substances like food and oxygen more quickly, and also produce waste products faster, hence there is again an increased need for a special transport system. Single and double circulatory systems: the animal transport system consists of, a fluid medium to transport substances (the blood, a pump to push the fluid around the body, specialised exchange surfaces.
