all invertebrates except - exhibit snme type of body symmetry
sponges
cnidarians and echinoderms exhiibit - - , body parts extend from hte center of the body
radial symmetry
worms, mollusks, and arthropods exhibit - -, or have mirror-image left and right sides
bilateral symmetry
the concentration of sense organs and nerve cells in the front of the body
cephilization
in most worms and artropods, nerve cells are arranged in strucutres called -
ganglia
in more complex invertebrates, such as certain mollusks, nerve cells form an organ called a
brain
most complex animal phyla have a true coelom that is lined completely with tissue derived from -
mesoderm
the simplest animals break down food primarily through - digestion, but more complex animals use - digestion
intracellular, extracellular
when food is digested inside cells
intracellular digestion
in - digestion, food is broken down outside the cells lin a digestive cavity or tract and then absorbed into the body
extracellular
respiratory organ have - surface area that are in contact with the air or water
large
for - to occur, the respiratory surfaces must be moist
diffusion
most complex animals move - through their bodies using one or more hearts and either an open or closed circulatory system
blood
in an - circulatory system, blood is only partially contained within a system of blood vessels
open circulatory system
open circulatory systems are characteristic of - and -
arthropods and mollusks
in - circulatory system, a heart or heartlike organ forces blood thorough vessels that extend throughout the body
closed circulatory system
Invertebrates show 3 trends in the evolution of the nervous system: - - -
centralization, cephilization, and specialization
simplest nervous systems , found in cnidarians
nerve nets
consists of individual nerve cells taht form a netlike arrangement
nerce nets
the concentration of nerve tissue and organs in one end of the body is called
cephilization
in flatworms and roundworms, the nerve cells are more concentrated, or
centralized
the more complex an anima's nervous system is, the more developed its - organs tend to be
sense
invertebrates have one of three main kinds of skeletal systems:
hydrostatic skeletons, exoskeletons, or endoskeletons
some invertebrates, such as annelids and certain cnidarians have - - (skeletal system)
hydrostatic skeletons
(skeleton) muscles surround a fluid-filled body cavity taht supports the muscles; when the muscles contract, they push against fluid in the body cavity, causing the body to change shape
hydrostatic skeletons
in arthropods, the - or external skeleton, is a hard body covering made of chitin
exoskeleton
the shells of some - can also be considered exoskeletons
mollusks
an - is a structural support located inside the body
endoskeletons
sea stars and other echinoderms have an endoskeleton made of - plates
calcified
most invertebrates reproduce - during at least part of their life cycle
sexually
depending on - conditions, many invertebrates may also reproduce asexually
environmental
allows animals to reproduce rapidly and take advantage of favorable conditions in teh environment
asexual reproduction
maintains genetic diversity in a population by creating individuals with new combinations of genes
sexual reproduction
eggs are fertilized outside of the female's body
external fertilization
eggs are fertilized inside the female's body
internal fertilization
