Chapter 32 Flashcards
Deuterostome animals
What is a vertebrate?
Animal that has backbone and a skeleton
What are the 5 vertebrates groups
Fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals
What are invertebrates
cold-blooded animals with no backbone
What are the main groups of invertebrates
- Protozoa
- Porifera
- Coelenterata
- Platyhelminthes
- Nematoda,
- Annelida
- Echinodermata
- Mollusca
- Arthropoda
What does ectothermic mean?
Body heat comes from an external source
What is a differentiating character of echinoderms
Radial symmetry
2 parts of Deuterostome animals
Echinoderms
Chordata
What groups are endothermic
Within Mammalia and Aves
What is the Aves class
Basically the bird class
Important embryonic features of deuterostomes
Gut develops from anus to mouth
Coelom develops from pockets of mesoderm
Are Deuterostomes mostly vertebrates or invertebrates
Vertabrates
What is an echinoderm
Marine invertebrate groups of deuterostomes
ex. Sea stars, sea urchins
What are the three main traits of an echinoderm
- Radial symmetry in adults
- Endoskeleton of calcium carbonate
- Water vascular system
What are the symmetry of echinoderm as larvae and adults
Larvae - bilaterally symmetric
Adults - pentaradial symmetric (5 sided radial symmetry)
What does the endoskeleton in these adults do?
Hard protective, supportive structure inside epidermal tissue.
