senescence


sudden aging


unicellular forms can often divide without limit while multicellular forms have limited life span

Four basic developmental processes


cell proliferation


cell differentiation


cell death (apoptosis)


cell migration


create increase in complexity but no change in genetic info

cell proliferation
more cells produced by cell divisions

cell differentiation

cells change into various types for specialized functions (but all have the same genetic information)

cell death

a programmed process that contributes to formation of body structures
Fundamental properties of animal body plan


1. The degree of differentiation and specialization of cells and tissues


2. Fundamental symmetry


3. Number, development, and arrangement of germ layers


4. In Bilateria, the presence and arrangement of body cavities

Fundamental symmetry


radial symmetry- in all direction


bilateral symmetry- split in two


animals that move


one end encounters environment and other end has propulsion


usually cephalized ( sensors and brains in head)

Three basic cell types


ectoderm


endoderm


mesoderm


Formation of diploblastic zygote


first cell division of zygote


through cell movements, blastula becomes a hollow sphere


gastrulation- forms first two germ layers



Blastopore can have two fates:


forms the mouth (protostomes)


forms the anus (deuterosomes)


Schizocoely


mesoderm arises from ectoderm


protosomes

Enterocoely


mesoderm arises form endoderm


Deuterostomes


What do the primary germ layers go on to form in the animal?


ectoderm


skin and nervous system


endoderm


gut and associated organs and structures


mesoderm


muscles, gonads, internal skeletons

Body cavities


Acoelomates


Pseudocoelomates


Eucoelomates

Acoelomates


no body cavity


the space between the ectoderm and endoderm is filled with mesoderm




Pseudocoelomates

body cavity (pseudocoel) is derived form the embryonic blastocoel; partially lined with mesoderm (the gut has no mesoderm)
Eucoelomates

body cavity is derived from embryonic mesoderm (completely lined with mesoderm)


Porifera 'Parazoa'




sponges


thought to be at least two phyla: calcarea and siliea


are loosely organized, little or no coordination


can mechanically be broken down and can reform


cells are totipotent- one cell of any type can form new animal

Characteristics of Parazoa


cellular grade of organization


sessile


little apparent symmetry


supporting 'skeleton' of mineralized spicules or a protein secretion, or both


a specialized and unique cell type, choanocytes

Sponge 'body plans'

small pumping chambers chambers lined with choanocytes


water is pumped in thought the perforated body wall and out of an excurrent pore; food particles are filtered out and absorbed


chanocytes pump with flagellae so chambers cannot be too big


they become larger by add more chambers

Cnidaria


tissue level of organization, sometimes approaching organs


diploblastic


radial symmetry


support via hydrostatic skeleton or visocoelastic skeleton, or both


sessile and attached, or floating in water


cnidocyte: stinging cells with special organelle, the nematocyst

Function of cnidocyte


when cnidocil is touched or certain chemicals are present the nematocyst discharges rapidly


barbs dig in and fix in place


propulsion from high pressure inject toxin


hemolytic or neurotoxic

polyp form of cnidarians


sessile, attached to substrate at aboral end


if mouth close water trapped in GVC


longitudinal and circular muscles put pressure on trapped water


tentacles catch food

medusa form of cnidarians


free swimming


swims by contracting 'muscles' around GVC, pushing against water


springy (viscoelastic) mesoglea helps sustain rhythmic swimming


tentacles may be very long


viscoelastic skeleton


deformable but not compressible


elastic and resumes original "relaxed" shape when force is removed


mesoglea works this way

Hydrostatic skeleton

water is deformable but not compressible


basis of hydrostatic skeleton


can change shape but not volume


GVC works this way
