50 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Tetrapods

  • Limbs formed from muscular fins (digits formed on feet)
  • Developed ears for sensing airborne vibrations

Ambibians

  • Aquatic larval stage and terrestrial adult stage
  • moist skin helps with gas exchange
  • Fertilization is external in most species

Amniotes

  • Tetrapods that have a terrestrially adapted egg
  • Developed protective coating to prevent body from drying out
  • Better muscles in lungs because needed negative pressure breathing

Amniotic egg

  • Membranes protect the egg
  • Yolk feeds the embryo
  • Allows for gas exchange
  • Amniotic sac is inside the yolk

Mammals derived characterisitcs


  • mammary glands
  • hair
  • larger brain
  • differentiated teeth

Animal Characteristics

  • Multicellular eukaryotes derived from embryonic layers
  • Cells lack cell walls
  • Bodies held together by structural proteins
  • have nervous and muscle tissue

Gastrulation

Inward growth of one part of the blastula

Protosome Cleavage

Spiral and determinate cleavage

Deuterosome Cleavage

Radial and indeterminate cleavage

Ectoderm

Outermost layer

Endoderm

Innermost layer

Archenteron

Developing digestive tube

Diploblastic blastula

Only endoderm and ectoderm

Triploblastic Blastula

  • Endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm
  • Typically forms a coelem

Triploblastic Protosome formation

Splitting of the mesoderm solid masses forms the coelem

Triploblastic Deuterosome Formation

Mesoderm buds from the wall of the archenteron to form the coelem

Blastospore


  • Connects archenteron to exterior of gastrula
  • Protostome: becomes the mouth
  • Deutrostome: becomes the anus

Choanocytes

Flagellated water cells, generate a water current via flagellated collar cells to help with suspicion feeding

Eumetazoa

animals with true tissues

Cnidarians

  • Diploblastic; Gastrovascular cavity; carnivores that use tentacles to capture prey
  • Cnidocytes have the toxic nematocysts

Lophotrochoans

Bilateral animals with triploblastic development

Planarian

  • Light sensitive spots and nerve nets
  • Has an extendable pharynx

Chitons

Oval shaped marina animal with 8 dorsal plates

Gastropods

  • ¾ of all Molluscs are this
  • Single spiraled shell
  • Torsion: anus and mantle end above the head

Ecdysozoans

  • Most species-rich animal group
  • Covered by a cuticle that is shed

Key to success of insects

Flight is _____ to insects

Shared characteristics of Deuterosomes

  • Radial cleavage
  • Formation of the mouth at the end of the embryo opposite of the blastopore

Characteristics of Chordates

  • Notochord
  • dorsal, hollow nerve cord
  • Pharyngeal slits or clefts
  • muscular, post-anal tail

Notochord

  • Longitudinal, flexible rod between the digestive tube and nerve cord
  • provides skeletal support

Vertebrates

  • Craniates with backbones
  • Vertebrae enclosing a spine
  • Elaborate skull
  • Fin rays in aquatic forms

What genetic process may have been helpful when accounting for the Cambrian explosion?

Hox gene duplication

What distinguishes sponges from other animals?

True tissues or no tissues

Choanocytes

Cells in sponge that are primarily responsible for trapping and removing food particles from circulating water

Blood flukes

  • Alternate between a snail and human host
  • Parasite
  • Reducing freshwater snail population helps reduce incidents in humans

Where are the larvae of common tapeworm species usually found?

Encysted in the muscles of an animal

Lophophore

  • Horse-shaped suspension-feeding organ with ciliated tentacles
  • Used by ectoprocts and brachiopods

Complete metamorphosis

Full stages like larvae to adult

Incomplete metamorphosis

Young nymphs look like smaller adults

Which 2 main clades branch from the most recent common ancestor eumetazoans?

Cnidaria and Bilateria

The earliest known mineralized structures in vertebrates are associated with what function?

Feeding

Amniote

Tetrapods whose living members are reptiles, birds, and mammals

Three major groups of mammals

  1. Egg-laying
  2. Pouched
  3. Placental

Gene found in all species of eumetazoan animals studied

Hox

Gene linked to development of speech

FOXP2

Synapsids

Species that mammals developed from in the late Jurassic Period
