Animal Development & Diversity Flashcards
Phylum Porifera
Sponges
Phylum Cnidaria
Hydra, jellyfish, sea anemones
Phylum Platyhelminthes
Planarians (these are not parasitic but many organisms in this group are)
Phylum Mollusca
Clams, oysters, mussels, snails, slugs, octopi
Phylum Annelida
Earthworms and leeches
*segmentation is key
6 steps of animal development
- Gametogenesis
- Fertilization
- Cleavage
- Gastrulation
- Neurulation
- Organogenesis
3 germ layers
Ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
Ectoderm forms what?
Epidermis, nervous system
Mesoderm forms what?
Muscles and skeleton
Endoderm forms what?
Lining of digestive tract
Isolecithal eggs
Little yolk
Telolecithal eggs
Lot of yolk concentrated at one end
Meroblastic cleavage
Blastula forms at end where yolk is concentrated; incomplete cleavage
Holoblastic cleavage
Complete cleavage in egg with little yolk
Coelomate
Have body cavity called coelom
Triploblastic
3 germ layers
Diploblastic
Have 2 germ layers - no mesoderm
Triploblastic organisms have how many openings?
2
Diploblastic organisms have how many openings?
1
Acoelomate
Have no coelom
Pseudocoelomate
Have a coelom-like body cavity that is not derived from the mesoderm
