animal kingdom Flashcards
radial symmetry
ANY plane passing through the central axis can divide the organism into two equal halves
ex- coelntrata
ctenophora
adult echinoderms
bilateral symmetry
when the body can be divided into identical left and right halves only in ONE PLANE
ex- platyhelminthes through chordata and larvae echenoderms
coelom
a body cavity lined with mesoderm
coelentrata
both intracellular and extracellular development
; have a central gastro vascular cavity with a single opening on the hypostome
; show metagenesis
ctenophora
body bears 8 external rows of ciliated comb plates which help in LOCOMOTION
; bioluminiscene
level of organization
cellular level - porifera
tissue level - coentrata and ctenophora
organs performing specific fucntion - platyhelminthes
organ system - annelids through chordata
chordata
presence of notochord paired phrangeal gill silts post anal tail CNS IS DORSAL HOLLOW AMD SINGLE ventral heart urochordata/tunichordata - ascidia, salpa, doliolum cephalochordata - branciostoma (order-amphioxus) (genera-lancelette) vertebrata
cyclostoma
agnatha ectoparasites 6-15 pair of gill slits scales absent paired finns absent cartilagenous vertebral column cartilagenous cranium
chondrichthyces skin, scales and teeth and gill silts
tough skin
placoid scales
teeth modified placoid scales directed backwards
gill slits without operculum
air chamber is present in which gnathostoma pisces
osteoichtyces
electric organs
poison sting
torpedo
trygon
habitat of types of pisces
chondro- marine
osteo- both marine and fresh water
location of mouth in different type of pisces
chondro- ventral
osteo- terminal
[VT]
osteo scales and gill slits
ctenoid/cycloid scales
4 pairs of gill slits covered with operculum on each side
fertiliztiom in different type of pisces
chondro- internal and viviparous
osteo- exeternal and oviparous
amphibian skin
moist WITHOUT SCALES
what is cloaca and what animals posses it
common chamber where alimentary canal, urinary bladder and reproductive tract open into
present in ambhibia
fertilization in amphibia?
external
oviparous
indirect development
ichthyophis
limbless amphibia
reptilian skin
dry and cornified skin
presence of epidermal scales known as SCUTES
ear situation in amphibia vs reptiles
amph- tymanum represents the ear
rept- external ear opening absent, tymapnum represpenets ear
avian skin
dry without scales except the oil glands which is present at the base of tail
hind limbs generallu have scales
what is crop and grizzard and it;s a characteristic feature of?
additional chamber of the digestive tract
birds
origin of nervous system
coelentrata
in porifera, fertilization is _ and the development is _
internal
indirect
poriferan digestion is _
intracellular
in poriferans, sexes are _
not separate i.e they are hermaphrodite
the name cnidaria is derived from / which contains /
cnidocytes/ cnidoblasts
stinging capsule/ nematocytes
