animal diversity lecture 17 Flashcards
what are the different symetries
Asymmetry: body that cannot be divided into
symmetrical body parts (not symmetrical) ex: sponges
Radial Symmetry: any cut along the central body axis
results in similar halves (like cutting a pie) ex: jellyfish
Bilateral Symmetry: only one cut along one plane (2 mirror image halves) ex: lizard
are animals heterotrophic or autotrophic
What is the purpose of digestion in animals
Break down edible organic matter
What is the simplest form of digestion ? What does it involve ?
Intracellular digestion : occurs inside cells
Involves creation of food vacuoles via phagocytosis and breakdown via hydrolytic enzymes in lysosomes
Where is intracellular digestion found
In the food vacuoles
What is extra cellular digestion
Breakdown of food outside cells
Where does extracellular digestion take place
Comportement that is continuous with the outside of the animals body
- in humans, digestive track (mouth to anus is continuous)
In humans, where does the food get absorbed
Via capillaries in small intestine
What are the 2 general solutions for the fact that cells need a continuous supply of nutrients and wastes must be eliminated, which imposes limitation to body plan
- Have a body size and shape such that most cells are in direct contact with the environment (single cell layer)
- Have a Circulatory system
When looking at the circulatory system, what is the particularity of diffusion
- rapid only over small distances : unicellular, constant contact with the environnement
What type of animals rely on diffusion
Simple animals that lack transport system: rely on diffusion (sponges, jellyfish, small worms
What do larger more complex animals use for circulation instead of diffusion
Circulatory systems
What is the advantage of a circularity system
- Have a body size and shape such that most cells are in direct contact with the environment (single cell layer)
- Have a Circulatory system
What are the 2 types of circulatory systems
Opened , closed
What do the vessels look like in open circulatory system
Open ends (not closed circuit)
Open circulatory system, what is hemolymph
Blood and interstitial fluid indistinguishable collectively referred to as hemolymph (a mix of both)
Open circulatory system, what is the name of the large spaces filled by the hemolymph
Sinuses (will diffuse back to circulatory system)
What animals have open circulatory systems
- arthropods (insects, arachnids)
- most mollusks
What are the blood vessels like in closed systems
Circuit of blood vessels
Do closed circulatorhy systems have hemolymph
No, blood district from interstitial fluid (tissue fluid between cells)
What is the tissue fluid between cells called closed system
Interstitial fluid
How do animals lacking a circulatory system breath
- rely on diffusion directly with the environment, lack respiratory system
What is a respiratory surface
Part of an animals where gases are exchanged with the environment
How does the movement of CO2 and O2 occur across the respiratory surface
Diffusion
What are characteristics of respiratory systems
- thin
- large surface area: maximizing rate gas exchange
- moist : gases can diffuse rapidly
What are examples of respiratory surfaces
- tracheal system : insects
- gills
- lungs
