Neuron

A

A cell that is specialized for the transmission of nerve impulses. Typically has dendrites, a cell body, and a long axon that forms synapses with other neurons.

Heterotroph

A

Any organism that cannot synthesize reduced organic compounds from inorganic sources and that must obtain them by eating other organisms. Some bacteria, some archaea, virtually all fungi and animals.

Q

Mesoderm

A

The middle of The three basic layers in most animal embryos; gives rise, bones, blood, and some internal organs

16
Q

Nerve net

A

A nervous system in which neurons are defused instead of being clustered into large masses or tracks

17
Q

Ganglion

A

A massive neurons in a centralized nervous system

18
Q

Central nervous system (CNS)

A

The brain and spinal cord and a vertebrate animals

19
Q

Brain

A

A large mass of neurons located in the head region of an animal, that is involved in information processing

20
Q

Symmetry

A

the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis.

21
Q

Asymmetrical

A

having parts that fail to correspond to one another in shape, size, or arrangement; lacking symmetry.

22
Q

Radial symmetry

A

An animal body pattern in which there are at least two planes of symmetry. Typically the body is in the form of a cylinder for this, body parts radiating from a central hub.

23
Q

Bilateral symmetry

A

Animal body pattern in which there is one plane of symmetry dividing the body into a left side and a right side. Typically, the Body is long and narrow, with a distinct head end and tail end.

24
Q

Cephalization

A

The formation of a distinct anterior region parentheses the head parentheses where sense organs and a mouse are clustered

25
Q

Coelom

A

An internal, usually fluid filled, body cavity that is lined with mesoderm

26
Q

Acoelomate

A

An animal that lacks an internal body cavity (coelom).

27
Q

Coelomate

A

An animal that has a true coelom

28
Q

Hydrostatic skeleton

A

A system of body support involving fluid filled compartment that can change in shape but cannot easily be compressed

29
Q

Bilateria

A

A major lineage of animals that are bilaterally symmetrical at some point

30
Q

Protosome

A

A major lineage of animals that share a pattern of embryological development, including formation of the mouth earlier than the anis, and formation of the coelom by splitting of a block of mesoderm

31
Q

Deuterostome

A

A major lineage of animals that share a pattern of embryological development, including formation of the anis earlier than the mouth, and formation of the coelom by pinching off of layers of mesoderm from the gut

32
Q

Gastrulation

A

The process by which some cells on the outside of a young embryo move to the interior of the embryo, resulting in the three distinct germ layers

33
Q

Tube-within-a-tube

A

a convenient way to think of nematode body structure, and also a term used to refer to a major trend in the evolution of triploblastic metazoa
