Ch 27 & 33 & 28 exam 3 Flashcards
What is the closest living relative of animals?
Choanoflagellates
What is the first branch off animals
sponges
most animals have:
differentiated cells, tissues, organs, organ systems
what two germ layers form first and which forms later?
endoderm and ectoderm form first
mesoderm forms later
Hox genes function:
determine body plan, segmentation, number placement of appendages ect. (develop during embroynic devleopment
Radial symmetry
body parts around central axis
usually sessile or planktonic
Bilateral symmetry
two axes of orientation: front to back and top to bottom
usual w head
cephalization
concentration of sense organs usually at anterior end of body (for bilateral symm)
Diploblastic
TWO germ layers
ectoderm
two germ layers: gives rise to outer covering and nerves
endoderm
2 germ layers: digestive tract; internal organs, lungs
triploblastic
3 germ layers
mesoderm
3 germ layer: muscle bone, blood, develops between ectoderm and endoderm
Coelom
body cavity: fluid-filled space between body wall and gut (digestive tract)
-formed from tissue from mesoderm
Two development patterns:
protostomes and deuterostomes
Protostomes development:
-coelom forms from splits int he mesoderm, the MOUTH forms from the blastopore
-spiral and DETERMINANT
Deuterostome development:
-coelom forms from mesodermal outpocketings of the archenteron, the mouth forms from a secondary opening, the ANUS develops at the sit of blastopore
-radial and INDETERMINATE
Three major clades in order from top to bottom
Deuterostomia
Lophotrochozoa
Ecdysozoa
4 Distinct periods of animal evolution
-neoproterozoic era
-palezoic era
-mesozoic era
-cenozoic era
Endothermic
animals generate heat by metabolism
-birds and mammals
Ectothermic
animals gain heat from external sources
-invertebrates, fish, amphibians
basal metabolic rate
average amount of energy used by an organism in a nonactive state
smaller animals take more energy
Torpor
physiological state in which activity is low and metabolism decreases
Hibernations
long term torpor that is an adaptation to winter and food scarcity
“Summer torpor”
estivation: enables survival of high temps and scarce water
acclimatization
homeostasis adjusting to changes in external environment
