(1) Life & Architecture / Development Flashcards
Protoplasmic Grade
Unicellular organism, differentiated into organelles capable of performing specialised functions
Example;
(Archae)bacteria/(Eu)bacteria
Most Protista
Cellular/Cell Aggregate Grade
Aggregation of cells that are functionally differentiated
-No tissue
Example:
Multicellular Protista
Phylum Porifera (sponge)
Cell-Tissue Grade
a group of cells united to perform a clear function together
-no organs
Example:
Phylum Cnidaria (jellyfish, sea anemone)
Organ-Tissue Grade
More specialised, múltiple tissues
- no organ systems
Example:
Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms)
Organ System
Everything else
Example:
Phylum Nematoda (roundworms), Mollusca, Annelida (earthworms), Arthropoda, Chordata (vertebrates)
*organisms are classified according to their highest level of organisation
Body Fluids- Intracellular
Cytoplasm
- 36% human body weight
Body Fluids- Extracellular
a). Blood plasma
- within blood vessels/heart
- 4%
b). Interstitial fluid
- surrounding cells
- 20%
Body Plans
- Unicellular vs Multicellular
- Cell aggregate vs tissue
- Radical va bilateral symmetry
Acoelomate
-no body cavity vs tube-within-tube design (does have a cavity)
Example:
Phylum Platyhelminthes (tapeworms)
Coelom
Body cavity
Pseudo
False
Pseudocoelomate
Body cavity not entirely lined with mesoderm
Example:
Phylum Nematoda or roundworms
Eucoelomate
Entire body cavity lined with mesoderm
Example:
Phylum Annelida (earthworms), Mollusca, Arthropoda, Chordata (vertebrates)
Deuterostomes vs Protostomes
Deuterostomes: anus forms first
Protostomes: mouth forms first
Metemerism
Having a body segmentation
Example:
Annelida (earthworms), Arthropoda, Chordata (fish)
Cephalization
Having a head
Example:
Annelida (earthworms), Arthropoda, Chordata (fish)
*earthworms don’t really have a head
Gamete Formation
Spermatogenesis/oogenesis
Preformation
Miniature embryo in gambete(s) “unfolds”
NO
Epigenesis
Fertilised egg contains raw materials only, that assemble
YES
Purposes of Fertilization
- Provide for genetic diversity
- Restore diploidy (full # of chromosomes)
- Activate egg - revises active metabolisms
Events of Development
- Jelly Layer
- Fusion
- Fertilisation cone
- Polyspermy prevention
- Male and female pronuclei
- Removal of inhibitors
- Egg cytoplasm
- Jelly Layer
Penetrated by sperm
- Fusion with vitelline envelope
If egg recognition and sperm receptor proteins match
- Fertilised cone
Draws sperm head in
- Polyspermy prevention
No mote than one
a. Electrical potential change to vitelline membrane
- blocks other sperms fusion=“fast block”
b. Cortical reaction: lifts vitelline envelope away
c. Envelope hardens = fertilisation membrane = “slows block”
- Male and Female
Pronuclei (1N+1N)
- Removal of inhibitors
To egg metabolism
- Egg cytoplasm
Spatially reorganises
