42
Q

Pseudocoelum and Coelum

A

fluid filled body cavity.

43
Q

Acoelomate –

body cavity. Some are pseudocoelomates. Some are Coelomates

45
Q

Coelomates

A

body cavity entirely within mesoderm.

46
Q

pseudocoelomates

A

body cavity between endoderm (digestive cavity) and mesoderm.

47
Q

Body cavity provides:

A
  • Circulation of nutrients from digestive cavity to body parts.
  • Makes for rigid (fluid) body which aids in movement.
  • Organs in body cavity can function without interference from surrounding tissues.
  • Place for organs to develop
48
Q

Pseudocoelomates have

A

one way gut that offers assembly line specialization capability and multitasking. (doesn’t have to wait to expel waste before taking in food and no dillution=more diffusion. 2 phyla of pseudocoelomates. Only 1 is large – Nematoda (round worms).

49
Q

Coelomates

A

body cavity entirely within mesoderm allows contact between mesoderm and endoderm – essential for primary induction process during embryonic development to allow development (and evolution) of more specialized tissues organs. Body cavity within mesoderm might limit circulation – circulation system fix problem (network of vessels that carries fluids to all parts of body).

50
Q

Simplest Coelomates are

A

mollusks, the only coelomate phylum without segmented bodies.

51
Q

Second is numbers next to

A

arthropoda (insects).

  • foot –muscle region.
53
Q

3 types of mollusks:

A

Gastropods
Bivalves
Cephalopods

54
Q

Gastropods

allows for evolutionary and developmental flexibility – specialization of segments.

60
Q

Annelids (worms)

A

first segmented animals.

61
Q

Annelids share 3 characteristics:

A

Repeated segments divided internally, muscle in each segment can function independently of other segments.
Specialized segments – containing special organs. Cerebral ganglion in anterior segment.

62
Q

Connections between segments

A

circulatory and nerve chord connect segments.

63
Q

All advanced coelomates exhibit

A

segmentation at one time in development.

64
Q

Arthropods

A

first animals with jointed appendages, which allow more movement flexibility. Evolved form Annelids.

65
Q

Individual segments exist only in

A

larval stage (immature organism). Segments fused later into functional units.

66
Q

Insects have three units:

A

Head, thorax (middle) & abdomen (posterior).

67
Q

More than half of named species are

A

arthropods.

68
Q

Arthropods have

A

rigid hard exoskeleton made of chitin. Muscles attached to exoskeleton. Protects and conserves water. Can’t support great weight so limits size. Exoskeloten can’t grow so arthropods must shed periodically (molting).

69
Q

2 Embryonic patterns of development for coelomates:

A

Protosomes – cells form spirally, cell specialization determined only in embryo stage, mouth forms first from Blastopore (initial indentation in embryo.
Deuterostomes – cells form radically, specialization continues after embryo stage because controlled by chromosomes (offers greater developmental flexibility & diversity)

70
Q

Echinoderms

A

first Deuterostomes. Form hard an first with endoskeletonossicles. Bilaterally symmetrical at larva stage, develop into radial symmetrical as adults. Radial symmetry seems to preclude brain development. under ectoderm – made of calcium rich plate

71
Q

Echinoderms also evolved

A

hydraulic system for movement called water vascular system.

72
Q

Second major group of Deuterostomes are

A

chordates – animals with completely internal endoskeleton – strong, allows greater size and flexibility.

73
Q

3 characteristics of chordates:

A

Nerve chord –single, hollow, dorsal.

Notochord- rod forms beneath nerve chord. Becomes vertebral column in vertebrates.

Pharyngeal slits – connects mouth to digestive tract and windpipe.

A

Specialization - When cells in segments are relatively isolated from cells in other segments, during embryonic development, different genes can be turned on or off in the different segments to create different tissues and organs

87
Q

Feature: Deuterostomic developement

Benefit

Organism in which first evolved

A
