18 - Invertebrate Diversity Flashcards
3 Types of Body Symmetry
None - No symmetry
Radial - Multiple plains could be cut and have symmetrical sides
Bilateral - Only open plain of symmetry (heads)
3 Types Coelom
Acoelomate
Pseudocoelomate
True Coelom (Coelomate)
Coelom function
Absorb shock - contains fluid to cushion and protect organs.
Hydrostatic skeleton - fluid pressure in soft-bodied animals for support and movement
Immune System support - phagocytosis, inflammation, serration of humoral factors
Circulatory System - Coelomyctes transport nutrients, gases, and waste products. (Allows for larger Coelomates)
Independent movement of organs (heart, digestive tract)
Hox Genes
Structures within proteins made within genes (unique to animals)
Colonial Organism
All cells are identical and can live individually
Multicellular Organism
Have specialized furcation and rely on each other
Tissue Layers
Ectoderm
Mesoderm
Endoderm
Ectoderm
Outside - epidermis and central nervous system
Mesoderm
Middle - muscles and some organs
Endoderm
Inside - digestive tract and associated organs
Acoelomate
No coelom filled by mesoderm formed during embryonic development
Pseudoocoelmate
Partially lined body cavity (cavity between endoderm and mesoderm)
True Coelom (Eucelomate)
Body cavity lined with mesodermal tissue. Separating organs from the outer body
Eucoelom (animals)
Eucoelom is a fluid-filled body cavity between the inner membrane. (True coelom in animals)
Gastrovacualry Cavity
Simple Digestive system
One opening for food and waste (Mouth/Anus)
Intercellular digestion
