Cephalization:

the localization of sensory structures at the anterior end of the body

True or false:


the dorsal and ventral sides are identical

false

How many germ layers do radial animals have?

two

How many germ layers do bilateral animals have?

three

In all animals except sponges, the growing embryo develops different layers of cells during a process called __________.

gastrulation

Cleavage:

mitotic cell divisions of the zygote

Blastula:

hollow sphere of cells (produced by cleavage)

Gastrula:

created when an area in the blastula folds inward

Endoderm:

inner layer of cells


(lines the archenteron)

Archenteron:

the primitive digestive tract

Ectoderm:

outer layer of cells


(covers the surface of the embryo)

Mesoderm:

third layer of cells between the ectoderm and the endoderm


(forms the muscles and most other organs)

Because Bilateria have three germ layers (ectoderm, endoderm, mesoderm), they are often referred to as ___________.

triploblastic

Because Radiata have two germ layers (ectoderm, endoderm), they are often referred to as ___________.

What is this process called?

formation of germ layers for Radiata and Bilateria


(only difference is Radiata don't form mesoderm)

In protostomes, the blastopore becomes the ______.

mouth




(if an anus is formed, it develops from a secondary opening)

In deuterostomes, the blastopore becomes the ______.

anus




(if a mouth is formed, it develops from a secondary opening)

Determinate cleavage:

-protostome development


-the fate of each embryo is determined early; if one of the cells is removed from a four cell protostome embryo, none will become embryos

Indeterminate cleavage:

-deuterostome development


-each cell produced by early cleavage retains the ability to develop into an embryo; if one cell is removed from a four cell deuterostome embryo, the remaining three can go on to become embryos because other embryonic cells compensate for the missing cell


-ex: in human embryos, if individual embryonic cells separate early in development, identical twins can result

In the developing zygote, what two types of cleavage may occur?

-spiral cleavage


-radial cleavage

Spiral Cleavage:


(aka spiralians)

-the planes of cell cleavage are oblique to the vertical axis of the embryo, resulting in newly formed upper cells laying centered between underlying cells


-many protostomes, for example mollusks and annelid worms

Radial Cleavage:

-the cleavage planes are either parallel or perpendicular to the vertical axis of the egg, resulting in tiers of cells one directly above the other


-all deuterostomes, and also insects and nematodes

Coelomates:

Animals with a true coelom (a body cavity completely lined with mesoderm)

Pseudocoelomates:

Animals with a pseudocoelom (a fluid-filled cavity not completely lined by tissue derived from mesoderm)

Acoelomates:

Animals that lack a fluid-filled body cavity. Instead, the region contains mesenchyme (a tissue derived from mesoderm)

Functions of the coelom: (4)

-its fluid cushions internal organs (heart, intestinal tract) helping to prevent injury from external forces


-enables internal organs to move and grow independently of the outer body wall


-functions as a hydrostatic skeleton (a fluid filled body cavity surrounded by muscles that gives support and shape to the body of organisms; ex: earthworms)
