Chapter 32: Intro to Animals Flashcards
Heterotrophic
Require a source of food to acquire energy and nutrients
Cleavage
A succession of cell division without growth between divisions. Zygote undergoes cleavage, leading to a blastula, which undergoes gastrulation
Blastula phase
Rapid division of cells
Gastrulation
Folding produces embryonic layers that are the precursors of organs
Geologic Timeline
Paleozoic era, Mesozoic era, Cenozoic era
Body symmetry
Asymmetrical, radial symmetry, bilateral symmetry
Radial symmetry
Body parts arranged around a single central axis
Bilateral symmetry
Body parts are arranged around two axes of orientation, the head-tail axis and the dorsal-ventral axis
Asymmetry
No visible symmetry
Germ layers
Ectoderm, endoderm, mesoderm
Ectoderm
Covers embryo’s surface, outer covering and central nervous system
Mesoderm
Fills space between endoderm and ectoderm, muscles and most organs
Endoderm
Innermost layer, lines blind pouch that forms gut, lining of digestive tract and organs
Diploblastic
Animal that only have ectoderm and endoderm
Triploblastic
All bilaterally symmetrical animals, animals containing a third germ layer
Body cavity
Fluid or air filled space between digestive tract and outer body wall
Body cavity functions
Cushions the suspended organs, acts as skeleton, enables organ growth
Coelom
Body cavity surrounded by tissues derived from mesoderm
Hemocoel
Body cavity formed between the mesoderm and endoderm, filled with hemolymph
Hemolymph
Fluid that transports nutrients and waste throughout the body cavity
Protostome development
Spiral and determinate cleavage (mouth first)
Deuterostome development
Radial and indeterminate cleavage (mouth second)
Spiral cleavage
Planes of cell division are diagonal to vertical axis of embryo
Determinate cleavage
Rigidly determines the developmental fate of each embryonic cell very early
Radial cleavage
Planes of division are either parallel or perpendicular to embryos vertical axis
Indeterminate cleavage
Each cell produced by early cleavage is able to form a complete embryo
Archenteron
Blind pouch formed during gastrulation which becomes the gut
Blastopore
An indentation in the gastrulation that leads to the formation of the archenteron which eventually forms the mouth or anus. Protosome is mouth, deuterostome is anus
