24
Q

Organ systems

A

Are groups of two or more organs that function together to perform a common task

25
Q

What is the defining feature that first separated the Kingdom Animalia?

A

The presence/absence of tissues in an organism

26
Q

Sponges (Phylum Porifera)

A

Non-moving (Sessile); filter feeders; reproduces sexually or asexually by budding and fragmentation; lack tissue structures

27
Q

What are the three types of specialized cells found in the sponge phylum?

A

Epithelial cells, collar cells and amoeboid cells

28
Q

Epithelial cells (of sponges)

A

The outer layer of the sponge, which acts like a skin. Makes up and regulates pores.

29
Q

Collar cells

A

The inner layer of the of sponge, which pumps water through the sponge using flagella and filters out the food.

30
Q

Amoeboid cells

A

Mobile cells between the two layers that ingest the collected food. Responsible from the reproduction of the sponge and secretes hard mineral needle-like structures called spicules and skeletal fibers made of protein called spongin.

31
Q

Spicules

A

The skeletal structural of the sponge.

32
Q

The lack of tissues in sponges results in…

A

An asymmetrical body plan.

33
Q

For an organism to have symmetry indicates…

A

That a geometric plane could be drawn through an organism such that the halves of the organism are “mirror” images of each other.

34
Q

What are the two types of symmetry seen in organisms?

A

Radial and bilateral symmetry.

35
Q

Hydra, Corals, Anemones and Jellyfish (Phylum Cnidaria)

A

Mostly marine; tissue present (including a nerve net); reproduce sexually or asexually ; have embryonic development which includes germ layers

36
Q

Germ layers

A

The layers of cells in the early embryo that lead to all tissues and organs

37
Q

Diploblastic

A

Two germ layers

38
Q

Triploblastic

A

Three germ layers

39
Q

The possible types of germ layers…

A

Endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm

40
Q

Endoderm

A

Germ layer that develop into the interior lining of the organs

41
Q

Mesoderm

A

Germ layer that develop into the muscle, skeleton and circulatory system

42
Q

Ectoderm

A

Germ layer that develop into the outer coverings

43
Q

Organisms of the Phylum Cnidaria have missing mesoderm meaning that they are…

A

44
Q

Between the outer layer and the inner layer of the Cnidarian organisms is…

A

The mesoglia

45
Q

Mesoglia

Q

Other than the Phylum Cnidaria and (maybe Ctenophora), all the remaining phyla in the Kingdom Animalia have…

A

Bilateral symmetry and three germ layers

50
Q

Some species (Sea Urchins and Starfish) are unique because…

A

They have radial symmetry as adults but have bilateral symmetry in their larval stages.

51
Q

With bilateral symmetry, comes…

A

Cephalization

52
Q

The corresponding developmental differences between protostomes and deutrostomes:

A

Spiral/determinate cleavage (protostomes) and radial/indeterminate cleavage (deutrostomes). The four cells of an early protostome embryo undergo cleavage which is oblique to the original body axis. On the other hand, early deutrostome embryo undergo cleavage which is parallel with and perpendicular to the body axis.

53
Q

Totipotency

A

The ability of cells, typically embryonic cells, to differentiate into any type of body cell.

note: Protostromes lose this ability by the four cell stage, while deutrostomes retain this ability even after the four cell stage.

54
Q

The two branches of the Protostomes of the Animal Kingdom:

A

Ecdysozoans and Lophotrochozoans

55
Q

The group Ecdysozoans and Lophotrochozoans are separated based on…

A

Specialized anatomy and molecular data (mostly 18S rDNA sequences)

56
Q

Within the Lophotrochozoans are 3 major phyla:

A

Phylum Platyhelminthes (Flatworms), Annelida (Annelids/Segmented Worms) and Mollusca (Mollusks)

57
Q

Flatworms (Phylum Platyhelminthes)

A

Bilateral symmetry; has some type of coelom; concentration of ganglia and sensory organs in the head of the non-parasitic species; organized tissues; one-way digestive system, where food enters through the pharynx and waste leaves through specialized excretory cells (flame cells); free-living and parasitic
