ecdysozoan
perform ecdysis
ectoderm
in some phyla it gives rise to the nervous system
Ediacaran fauna
Precambrian assemblage
endoderm
lining
enterocoelous
, a mesoderm is formed in a developing embryo, in which the coelom forms from pouches "pinched" off of the digestive tract
eumetazoa
is a clade of animals with true tissues
gastrulation
embryo's developing digestive tube initially forms as a blind pouch, a gut
*unique to animals
germ layers
ectoderm
mesoderm
endoderm
lophophore
crown of ciliated tentacles that function in feeding
parazoan
only living one is sponges
schizocoelous
occurs when a coelom (body cavity) is formed by splitting the mesodermal embryonic tissue.
*typically protostomes
Alimentary canal
A complete digestive tract, runs from mouth to anus
Ammonite
group of shelled cephalopods that were important marine predators until their extinction in the Cretaceous period
Amoebocyte
found in cnidarians, digests food
Arthropod
segmented ecdysozoan with a hard exoskeleton and jointed appendages
Book lung
organ for gas exchange in spiders, consists of staked plates in an internal chamber
Brachiopod
marine lophophore with a shell divided in dorsal and ventral halves, aka lamp shell
Chelicera
feeding like appendages
Cheliceriform
an arthropod that has chelicera and a body divided into a cephalothorax and an abdomen
Choanocyte
flagellated feeding cell in sponges, aka collar cell
Closed circulatory system
blood is confined to vessels and is kept separate from the intestinal fluid
copepod
small group of crustaceans that are important members of plankton communities
Crustacean
subphylum to arthropods (lobsters, crayfish, crabs, barnacles, shrimps)
Complete metamorphosis
transformation of larva int adult, look and function very different (ex. butterflies)
Cuticle
1.exoskeleton of an arthropod made of layers of protein and chitin
2. tough coating of nematodes
Decapod
group of crustaceans that include crabs, lobsters, crayfish, and shrimps.
Echinoderm
slow moving/sessile marine deuterostome, water vascular system, as larva they have bilateral symmetry (sea stars, brittle stars, sea urchins, feather stars, & sea cucumbers)
Ectoproct
sessile colonial lophophore, aka bryozoan
Eurypterid
an extinct carnivorous chelicerate, aka water scorpion
Exoskeleton
-hard encasement
- shell of a mollusc, cuticle of an arthropod
-provide protection, and points of attachment for muscles
Foot
-one of 3 major parts of a mollusc
-usually used for movement
Gastrovascular cavity
-central cavity with single opening
-cnidarians & flatworms
-function as both the digestion and distribution of nutrients
Hermaphrodite
individual that functions as both a male and female
Hexapod
an insect or closely related wingless six legged arthropod
Incomplete metamorphosis
-young resembles the adult but just smaller
-goes through molts
--ex. grasshoppers
Invertebrate
-animal w/o backbone
-make up 95% of animal species
Isopod
largest group of crustaceans
--marine, freshwater, and terrestrial
-ex. pill bugs & wood lice
Mandible
pair of jaw-like feeding appendages found in myriapods, hexapods and crustaceans
Mantle
-1 of 3 major parts of a mollusc
-fold of tissue that drapes over the viseral mass
-may secrete a shell
Mantle cavity
water filled chamber that houses the anus, gills, and excretory pores of a mollusc
Mesohyl
gelatinous fluid region between the two layers of a sponge
Molting
a process done by ecdysozoans
Myriapod
-terrestrial arthropod
-many body segments, 1-2 legs per segment
-millipedes and centipedes are the two major groups
Nematocyst
-in the cnidocyte of cnidarians
-capsule containing a thread like projection to capture prey
Open circulatory system
hemolymph bathes the tissues and organs directly (there's no distinction between the circulating fluid and interstitial fluid)
Osculum
lare opening of s sponge that connects the spongocoel to the environment
Phoronid
a phylum of marine animals that filter-feed with a lophophore and build upright tubes of chitin to support and protect their soft bodies
Planarian
free-living flatworm found in ponds and streams
Spongocoel
central cavity of a sponge
