animals
heterotrophs that ingest their food, multicellular eukaryotes, bodies held togehter by structural proteins such as collagen, nervous tissue and muscle tissue are unique to them.
body plan
a set of morphological and developmental traits
grade
a group whose members share key biological features, not necessarily a clade or monophyletic group
radial symmetry
circular symmetry.
bilateral symmetry
two-sided symmetry, have a dorsal, ventral, right, and left side, anterior and posterior ends, cephalization
dorsal
top
ventral
bottom
anterior
head end
posterior
tail end
cephalization
the development of a head.
tissues
collections of specialized cells isolated from other tissues by membranous layers
germ layers
give rise to tissues and organs of the animmal embryo during development
ectoderm
the germ layer covering the embryo's surface
endoderm
the innermost germ layer and lines the archenteron
archenteron
developing digestive tube
diplobalstic
animals have ectoderm and endoderm
triploblastic
animal shae ectoderm and endoderm
triploblastic
animals also have an intervening mesoderm layer, include all bilaterians.
body cavity
most triploblastic animals possess this
coelom
a true body cavity adn is derived from mesoderm
coelomates
animals that possess a true coelom`
morphological and developmental comparisons, or based mainly on molecular data
hypotheses about animal phylogeny basis...
eumetazoa
a clade of animals with true tissues
ecdysozoans
shed their exoskeletons thorugh ecdysis
sponges
sedentary animals that lack true tissues and organs, suspension feeders,
suspension feeders
capture food particles suspended in the water that pass through their body
choanocytes
flagellated collar cells, generate a water through the sponge and ingest suspended food.
spongocoel
water is drawn through pores into a cavity called thsi
osculum
water pulled out through this opening.
cniadarians
one of the oldest groups of the clade Eumetazoa, animals with true tissues, have diversified into a wide range of both sessile and motile forms inlcuding jellies, corals, and hydras, exhibit a relatively simple diploblastic radial body plan, basic body plan is a sac with a gastrovascular cavity, single opening functions as a mouth and anus, are carnivores that use tentacles to capture prey.
gastrovascular cavity
central digestive compartment, part of the body plan of a cnidarian
polyp
one variation of the cnidarian body plan, the sessile form
medusa
one variation of the cnidarian body plan, motile
cnidocytes
arm the tentacles of a cnidarian, unique cells that function in defense and capture of prey.
nematocysts
specialized organelles within cnidocytes that eject a stinging thread.
bilaterian animals
have a bilateral symmetry and triploblastic development, include lophotrochozoa, ecdysozoa, and deuterostomia
lophotrochozoa
includes flatworms, rotifers, ectoprocts, brachiopods, molluscs, andannelids.
platyhelminthes (flatworms)
live in marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial habitats, undergo triploblastic development, acoelomates, flattened dorsalventrally and have a gastrovascular cavity, gas exchange take place across the surface
protonephridia
regulate the osmotic balance of flatworms.
planarians (class Turbelaria)
free-living flatworms, have light-sensitive eyespots and centralized nerve nets, nervous system is more complex and centralized than the nerve nets of cnidarians, are hermaphrodites and can reproduce sexually, or asexually through fission.
annelids
have segmented bodies, from class oligochaeta, are named for relatively sparse chaetae, include earthworms and a variety of aquatic species
chaetae
bristles made of chitin
earthworms
each through soil, extracting nutrients as the soil moves through the alimentary canal, hermaphrodites but crossfertilize, an annelid.
molluscs
includes snails and slugs, oysters and clams, and octopi and squid, marine thorugh some inhabit fresh water and some are terrestrial, soft-bodied animals but most are protected by a hard shell, some have a water-filled mantle cavity and feed using a rasplike radula
muscular foot, visceral mass, mantle
body plan of molluscs consists of...
clams
molluscs of class Bivalvia include many species of clams, oysters, mussels, and scallops, have a sell divided into two halves,
feeding as well as gas exchange.
mantle cavity of clams contain gills that are used for
