Chapter 13: Animal Diversity and Evolution Flashcards
Animal is
Multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes
Animal obtain
Nutrients via feeding, not absorption
They probably evolved from
Early motile protistans at least 550-575 million years ago (probably much earlier)
Most unique body plans were set up at what time?
The Cambrian explosion has just been modified since.
Classification of animals
1) Organization
2) Symmetry
3) Body Cavity
4) Embryotic development
Animal organization
1) Cellular
2) Tissue
3) Organ system
Animal symmetry
1) Asymmetrical
2) Bilateral
3) Radial
Animal body cavity
1) Acoelomate
2) Pseudocoelomate
3) Coelomate
Animal embryotic development
1) Protostome
2) Deuterostome
Major Phyla: Porifera (sponges)
Cellular, asymmetric or radial, acoelomate and filter feeders
Cnidaria (jellyfish, anemones, corals)
Tissue, radial symmetry, gastrovascular cavity
Stinging cells and two forms:
Polyp (tentacles up) and medusa (tentacles down)
Mollusca (snails, slugs, clams, octopus, squid)
Organ systems, protostomes
Mollusca’s soft bodies but typically hard shells are secreted by
The mantle and muscular foot present
Platyhelminthes (flatworms)
Acoelomate, bilateral symmetry and dorsoventral flattening, not all parasitics
Annelida (segmented worms, including earthworms and leeches)
True coelom, bilateral symmetry and repeating units (segments) and some
Nematoda (roundworms)
Pseudocoelomate, bilateral symmetry and highly successful and widespread; not all parasitic
Arthropoda (jointed foot; includes crustaceans, arachnids, insects):
Specialized segments (not just repeating units), bilateral symmetry, exoskeletons (of chitins) = molting, sometimes metamorphosis
Hugely successful taxon and highly modified and adapted to
Most habitats
Echinodermata (spiny-skins; sea stars, sea urchins)
Exclusively marine, radial symmetry as adults, deuterostomes
Echinodermata typically have
Endoskeleton and water vascular system (for internal transport and external movement)
Chordata (NOT exclusively vertebrates):
Bilateral symmetry, deuterostomes
Chordata must have (at some point)
1) Dorsal nerve cord
2) Notochord
3) Pharyngeal gill slits
4) Post-anal tail
Chordates are non-vertebrates
Tunicates and lancelets
Vertebrates are including
Fish, jawless (hagfish), and jawed
Vertebrates bony
Fish
Vertebrates cartilaginous
Sharks, skates and rays
Chordates: amphibians:
Frogs, salamanders, newts and tied to water, first partly terrestrial animals
Chordates: reptiles:
Lizards, snakes, crocodiles, turtles, and not always associated with water, dry and leathery eggs
Chordates: aves:
Feathers present (may be modified) wings but not necessarily flight) thick and eggs
Chordates: mammals
Hairy milk producers
Monotremes are laying what?
Eggs
Marsupials have
Pouches
Eutherians have
Placentas
