Fancy Name for body cavity?
|
Coelom (Just in case you didn't get that from Part 1)
|
|
Peritoneum
|
A covering membrane that lines the body cavity and covers the internal organs
|
|
Less complex invertebrates
|
May lack a coelom or may have an intermediate structure called a pseudocoelom
|
|
Pseudocoelom
|
A fluid-filled cavity that lacks the mesodermal lining of a true coelom
|
|
Acoelomates, such as flatworms
|
Lack a body cavity.
|
|
Pseudocoelomates, such as roundworms,
|
Do not have a continuous peritoneal lining.
|
|
Coelomates, such as the higher invertebrates and vertebrates,
|
Have a true coelom lined with a continuous peritoneum.
|
|
The development of a coelom was probably associated, at least in part...
|
With an increase in animal size. As a solid structure increases in volume, the exchange of gases, food materials, and waste is less easily accomplished, and the folding of different organs to increase the surface area is somewhat restricted.
|
|
Having a body cavity allows space for internal organs such as lungs, heart, stomach, and intestine
|
To expand and contract and to slide by each other as the animal moves.
|
|
Examples of Animals that display radial symmetry
|
Hydra, jellyfish, and starfish
|
|
Bilateral symmetry
|
(bi meaning two) if one half of a shape is the
mirror image of the other half. |
|
Radial symmetry
|
If the shape of one part is repeated a number
of times about a central axis |
|
Cephalization
|
(from the Latin cephalicus , meaning head) The concentration of nerve tissues and receptors at the anterior end of an animal's body
|
|
Only animals that display bilateral symmetry
|
Have a true head region
|
|
The invertebrates comprise
|
95% of all the described animal species on Earth
|
|
Sessile
|
Not capable of independent movement. Sessile animals remain fixed in one place throughout their adult lives.
|
|
Motile
|
Capable of movement. Motile animals are able to move from place to place by expending cellular energy
