cleavage
The process of cytocinesis in animal cells sharacterized by pimching of the plasma membrane: the succesion of rapid cell divisions eithout groeth during the early embrionic development that converts the zygote into a ball of cells
Blastula
The hollow ball of cells making the end stage of cleavage during early embrionic development
Grastulation
the formation of the Gastula from a bastula
Gastrla
the three layered, cup shaped embrionic stage
Larva
A free living sexually immature form in some animal life cycles that may differ from the adult in morphology, nutrition and habitat
metaporphosis
The resurgence of development in an animal latca that transforms it in to a secially mature adult.
Ediacran Fauna
Earliest generally accepted animal fossils datingfrom about 575 MYA
Cambrian Explosion
A burst of evolutionary orgins when most of the majority of animals appeared in a realitive breif time in geologic history; recirded in fossil record 542-525 MYA
Grade
Group of animal species that share the same level of organization complexity
Body Plan
In animals, the set of morphological and developmental traits that define a grade (a level of organizational complexity)
radial Symmetry
Characterizing a body shape like a pie or barrel, with many equal parts radiating outwards like the spokes of a wheel; present in CNIDARANS and ECHINODERMS
Bilateral Symmetry
Characterizing a body form with a central longitudinal plane that divides the body into two equal but opposite halves
Dorsal
Referrers to the BACK of a bilaterally symmetrical animal
Ventral
Pertaining to the underside or bottom of a bilaterally symmetrical animal
Anterior
Referring to the head of a bilaterally symmetrical animal
Posterior
Pertaining bilaterally symmetrical animal to the rear, or tail end, of a
Cephalization
An evolutionary trend towards the concentration of sensory equipment on the anterior end of the body
germ layers
The three main layers that form the various tissues and organs on an animal body
Ectoderm
The outer most of the three germ layers in animal embryos; gives rise to the outer covering and , in some phyla the nervous system, inner ear and lens of the eye
Endoderm
The inner most of the three germ layers in animal embryos; lines the archenteron and gives rise to the liver, pancreas lungs and lining of the digestive tract
Archenteron
The endoderm lined cavity, form during he gastualation process, that develops into the digestive tract of an animal
Diploblastic
of having two germ layers
Mesoderm
The middle primary germ layer that develops into the notocord, the lining of the coelom, muscles, skeleton, gonads, kidneys and most of the circulatory system
Triploblastic
Processing tree germ layers; the ectodermis, mesodermis and endodermis. Most EUMETAZOANS are triploblasts
Body cavity
A fluid-containing space between the digestive tract and the body wall
Coelom
A body cavity completely lined with mesoderm
Coelomates
Animal that posses a true coelom
Pseudococlamates
An animal whose body cavity is not completely lined with mesoderm
acoclomates
A solid-bodied animal lacking a cavity between the gut and outer body wall
protostome development
A developmental mode distinguished by the development of the mouth from the blastopore; often also characterized by schizocoelous development of the body cavity and by spiral cleavage
Deuterosome Devlopment
A developmental mode distinguished by the development of the anus from the blastopore; often characterized by ENTEROCOELOUS development of the body cavity by radial cleavage
Spiral Cleavage
A type of embryonic development in protosomesin which the planes of division that transforms the zygote into a ball of cells occur obliquely to the polar axis, resulting in cells of each tier sitting in the groves btw cells of adjacent teirs.
Determinate Cleavage
a type of embryonic development in protosomes that rigidly casts development fate of each embryonic cell very early
Radial Cleavage
A type of embryonic development in deuterostomes in which the planes of cell division that transform the zygote into a ball of cells are either parallel or perpendicular to the polar axis, therby aligning tiers of cells one above the other
Indeterminate cleavage
A type of embryonic development in deuterostomes in which each cell produced by early cleavage division retains the capacity to develop into a complete embryo
Schizocoelous
pattern of formation of the body cavity common in protosome develop in which initially solid masses pf mesoderm split, forming the body cavity
Enterocoelus
Pattern of formation of the body cavity common in deuterosome development, in which the mesoderm buds
Blastopore
The hallow ball of cells marking the end stage of cleavage during early embryonic development
Parazoan
Animal belonging to the grade of organization of lacking true tissues
A SPONGE
Eumetazoan
Member of the clade EUMETAZOA, animals with true tissue (all animals except sponges)
Bilaterians
Member of the clade bilateria, animals with bilateral symmetry
Ecdysozoans
member of the animal group phyla with protostome development that some systematists hypothesize form a clade, including many molting animals.
Lophotrochozoans
Member of the animal group phyla with protostome development that some systematist hypothesized form a clade by lophophores or tropchophore larva
Lophophore
a horse-shoe shaped pr circular fold of the body wall bearing ciliated tenticles that surround the mouth
Trochophore Larva
Distinctive larval stage observed in certian invertabrates, including some annelids and molluscs
