Q

radial symmetry

A

(Cnidaria) an animals is divided in any direction along the oral/aboral axis and the two halves will be mirror images

30
Q

bilateral symmetry

A

(all other phyla) only a single plane along which the body can be divided into equivalent halves

31
Q

diploblasts

A

two germ layers

32
Q

triplobalsts

A

three tissue layers

33
Q

coelom

A

internal body cavity derived from mesoderm
- provides cushioning and shock absorption for the major organ systems
- a cavity where organs can grow and move freely
- space for the diffusion of gases and nutrients, as well as body flexibility, promoting improved animal motility

34
Q

acoelomates

A

(no coelom) mesoderm region is completely filled with cells

35
Q

eucoelomates

A

(true coelom) true coelom (cavity) arises entirely within the mesoderm germ layer

36
Q

psuedocoelomates

A

coelom lined partly by mesoderm and partly by endoderm

37
Q

Protostomes

A
  • first opening in the blastopore becomes the mouth
  • coelom is formed by schizocoely (two clumps of mesodermal tissue)
  • undergo spiral and determinate cleavage
38
Q

Deuterostome

A
  • first opening in the blastopore becomes the anus
  • coelom is formed enterocoely (mesoderm develops as pouches that are pinched off from the endoderm tissue)
  • undergo indeterminate and radial cleavage
39
Q

Open Circulatory System

A

blood is pumped out of the heart into a body cavity called hemocoel, where it sloshes around and bathes the internal organs in nutrients and gases (hemolymph)

40
Q

Closed Circulatory System

A

the heart and blood vessels that pump blood out of the heart and return it back (blood)

41
Q

Incomplete Digestive System

A

only one opening

42
Q

Complete Digestive System

A

two openings

43
Q

Q

flame cells

A

Volume

A

determined by the amplitude of sound wave

65
Q

Pitch

A

a measure of the frequency of vibrations per time

66
Q

Weber test

A

used to detect both types of hearing (tuning fork was placed on forehead)

67
Q

Rinne Test

A

tests lateralization (place tuning fork behind ear)

68
Q

Referred Pain
