|
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
