More energy is required in water to overcome friction or gravity?
friction
Why does crawling require a lot of energy?
Lots of friction, low to the ground

-sarcomeres
--actin
--myosin
What is actin?
thin filament
what is myosin?
thick filament
What does the sliding filament theory explain?
the cause of contractions in muscles
What does a muscle contraction require in order to occur?
calcium ions from the neurons, and ATP to move

Mouth develops second
radial, indeterminate development
coelem formed from archenteron
Urochordata and cephalochordata are what?
invertebrate chordates
What animals are in the phyla echinodermata?
sea star, sea cucumber, sea urchin
What is a madreporite?
Water enters a seastar through this opening, and enters the water-vascular system
What does the water-vascular system do?
sends water, minerals and gases through the animal
Are echinodermata embryos radially or bilaterally symmetrical?
bilaterally
What is the water-vascular system used for?
locomotion
nutrition
gas exchange

provides support
Where is the notochord located?
between the nerve chord and digestive system
What is a notochord?
series of fluid-filled cells
What happens to the notochord as an animal develops?
present in the vertebrate embryo, and becomes the material between discs
What does the nerve chord develop from?
ectoderm
What does the nerve chord become?
brain, spinal chord
What does the nerve chord do?
transmits nerve impulses
What do the pharyngeal slits do?
Water enters through the mouth, and exits through the slits
What does the pharyngeal slit develop into in aquatic vertebrates?
gills
What does the pharyngeal slit develop into in terrestrial vertebrates?
parts of ears, throat and jaws
What does the post-anal tail do?
contains and protects ends of nerve and noto chords
What does the post-anal tail develop into?
a tail, in some vertebrates

display chordate characteristics when in larval form
Why is the lancelet considered the perfect chordate?
All chordate characteristics present in adult
What does amphioxus mean?
both ends are pointed
What do muscles develop from?

closed with colorless blood
How do lancelets respirate?
diffusion across skin
What is the lancelets nervous system like?
dorsal brain
nerve chord
What do the sensory tentacles near the lancelet's mouth do?
