Chapter 27 Flashcards
4 types of complex tissue in animals
1) epithelial
2) connective
3) muscle
4) nervous
How do animals obtain energy?
Through heterotrophy: obtaining energy and organic molecules by ingesting other organisms
What are the two types of development an organism can go through?
Incomplete metamorphosis or complete metamorphosis
Complete Metamorphosis Vs Incomplete Metamorphosis
Complete is where the organism COMPLETELY changes it’s form. Incomplete is where it is just continuing to grow and mature but remains relatively the same
Morphology of an animal is determined by ______
Developmental cues
What do complex tissues lack?
Cell walls
Connective tissue
Cells embedded in an extracellular matrix (inside bones, cartilage etc). Used to support and protect organs
Epithelial tissue
Covers, lines, protects, and secretes the body surface and cavities
Nervous tissue
Coordinates movement, uses electrical signals for communication
Muscle Tissue
Powers locomotion, generates force to allow movement
What are considered “excitable” tissues?
Muscle and nervous
What is one thing that distinguishes animals from fungi, many protists and prokaryotes?
They produce sexually. They are made up of primarily DIPLOID somatic cells besides their gametes which are haploid. The haploid sperm and egg unite (fertilization or syngamy) to produce a diploid zygote
What are two examples of animals that have an asexual phase of life?
Cnidarians and flatworms
Two examples of animals that preform budding and fragmentation
Hydra and sea anemones
What is parthenogenesis?
A natural form of asexual reproduction where fertilization of an embryo is not needed to grow and develop. Their babies are always females because they had no dad to give them a Y chromosome so they can only be XX.
Steps of embryological development
1) Blastulation
2) Gastrulation
3) Neurulation
When is the blastocyst formed?
During gastrulation
What’s a blastocyst?
A ball of cells that forms early in a pregnancy after the sperm fertilizes the egg
Gastrulation
A developmental process in which an embryo transforms from a one-dimensional layer of blastula and reorganizes into a multilayered and multidimensional structure called the gastrula.
What is a blastopore?
The first opening into the embryo
Neurulation
The neural plate becomes the neural tube, which later becomes the brain and spinal cord
What do neural crest cells become?
The peripheral nervous system
What are the 3 stages of animal development in utero?
1) Zygote
2) Embryo
3) Fetus
