Body plan differs in:
number of tissues observed in embryos, symmetry, the presence or absence of a body cavity and the way in which early events in embryonic development proceed
Number of fundamental splits as animals diversified
three
Animals are mono_____.
phyletic
Three fundamental traits of animals:
(1) multicellular
(2) heterotrophs
(3) move under their own power at some point in their life cycle
Animal cells have no ___ ____ but do have an extensive extracellular matrix.
cell walls
Animals are only lineage with ______ and _____ tissue.
muscle, nerve
No animals undergo _________ of __________. Adults of most species are diploid; only gametes are haploid.
alteration, generations
About __ major animal phyla are recognized.
34
Four features that define an animal's body plan:
(1) number of embryonic tissue layers
(2) type of body symmetry and degree of cephalization (formation of a head region)
(3) presence or absence of a fluid-filled body cavity
(4) how the earliest events of embryonic development proceed
All animals have tissues, which are:
tightly integrated structural and functional units of cells.
All animals have epithelium, which is:
a layer of tightly joined cells that covers the body surface
Diploblasts are animals whose embryos have two types of tissues or germ layers; the ______ ("outside skin") and _______ ("inside skin").
ectoderm, endoderm
Triploblasts are animals whose embryos have three types of tissues: the ectoderm, endoderm and _________ ("middle skin").
mesoderm
Most sponges are _______.
asymmetrical
Animals with _______ symmetry have at least two planes of symmetry. Organisms with _______ symmetry have a single plane of symmetry and face their environment in one.
radial, bilateral
Cephalization
the development of a head region where structures for feeding, sensing the environment, and processing info are concentrated.
Coelom
fluid-filled body cavity
Triploblasts that do not have a coelom are called _______; those that possess a coelom are ______.
acoelomates, coelomates
The coelom is lined on ____ sides with cells from the mesoderm.
both
The acts as an efficient ______ ____ that allows soft-bodied animals to move even without fins or limbs.
hydrostatic skeleton
All coelomates (except for adult echinoderms) are ______ symmetric and have ____ embryonic tissue layers.
bilaterally, three
Bilatera include protostomes and ______.
deuterostomes
Three events in embryonic development
(1) cleavage
(2) gastrulation
(3) coelom formation
Cleavage
rapid series of mitotic divisions that occurs in the absence of growth
Gastrulation
series of cell movements that results in the embryonic tissue layers; as gastrulation proceeds, the coelom forms.
in Protostomes...
spiral cleavage
pore becomes mouth
in Deuterostomes...
radial cleavage
pore becomes anus
Protostomes split to become:
Ecdysozoa and Lophotrochozoa
____________ evolved independently in annelids and arthropods, as well as in vertebrates and possibly in molluscs
Segmentation
Vertebrates (skulls and usually backbones) are monophyletic, while invertebrates are _______.
paraphyletic
Different ways of feeding
Suspension (or filter) feeders
Deposit feeders (eat through substrate)
Fluid feeders (suck or mop up)
Mass feeders (take chunks into mouth)
Sessile
permanently attached to a surface
Three functions of movement in adult animals:
(1) finding food
(2) finding mates
(3) escaping predators
Viviparous
Eggs or embryos may be retained in the female's body during development.
Oviparous
Eggs laid outside to develop independently of the mother.
Ovoviviparous
Female retains eggs inside body during early development, but growing embryos are nourished by yolk inside the egg and not by nutrients transferred directly from the mother.
holometabolous metamorphosis (aka complete metamorphosis)

ex. mosquito
juvenile individual is called a larva and looks quite different from the adult form. Eventually, larva encases itself and becomes a pupa (in this stage it is remodeled into an adult.
hemimetabolous metamorphosis

ex. grasshopper
juvenile form is a nymph and looks like a miniature adult.
Some cnidarians have two distinct body types during their life cycle: a largely sessile form called a _____ alternates with a free-floating stage called a ______.
polyp, medusa
The four basal lineages of animals
(1) Porifera (sponges)
(2) Cnidaria (jellyfish and others)
(3) Ctenophora (comb jellyfish)
(4) Acoelomorpha
Animals are ____________.
monophyletic
Porifera (sponges)
About 7000 species of sponges have been described to date.
Benthic
live at the bottom of aquatic environments
The body architecture of sponges is built around a system of _____ and _____ that create channels for water currents.
tubes, pores
Most sponges are _________ feeders.
suspension
Cnidaria

(Jellyfish, Corals, Anemones, Hydroids, Sea Fans)
The majority of the 11,000 Cnidaria species are marine.
Cnidarians are radially _______ diploblasts with a specialized cell called a ______ that is used to capture prey.
