Chapters 27 + 28: Animal Diversity and Invertebrates Flashcards
Features of the Animal Kingdom
Multicellularity: many have complex bodies and tissue structure
Heterotrophy: obtain energy and organic molecules by ingesting other organisms
Active Movement: move more rapidly and in more complex ways
Sexual Reproduction
Determined/Fixed Body plan
Connective Tissue
cells embedded in an extracellular matrix
- ex. bone, cartilage
Epithelial Tissue
covers, lines, protects and secretes
Nervous Tissue
coordinates movement
Muscle Tissue
Powers locomotion
Cleavage
series of mitotic cell divisions
Blastula
migration of cells -> 6 to 32 cell hallow “ball”
Blastocoel
internal cavity
Gastrulation
its up formation of outer (ectoderm) and inner (endoderm) germ layers
- most animals have a third middle layer (mesoderm)
Features used to classify animals
- symmetry
- # of tissue layers
- origin of mouth + anus
- body plan and cavities
Symmetry
arrangement of body parts along axis
Radical Symmetry
arrangement around central air (radiate outward)
- suited for encountering environment from any direction (good for stationary lifestyle)
Bilateral symmetry
divides along sagittal plate (right/left halves)
- allows for anterior and posterior cephalization
- suited for moving forward (sense organs in head)
Two major groups of embryological development
parazoa and eumetazoa
Parazoa
no true tissues or symmetry (sponges)
Eumetazoa
remaining animals that have tissues and symmetry
Radiata (dioblasts)
two germ layers (ectoderm and endoderm)
- radical symmetry
Bilaterata (triploblasts)
three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm)
- bilateral symmetry
- all other animals
endoderm
inner lining of digestive tract organs, trachea, and lungs
mesoderm
all muscle, bone, cartilage, blood and most visceral organs
ectoderm
outer epilitheum of body surface, CNS
Coelom
body cavity; derived from mesoderm in early development
- lies between body wall and visceral organs
- fluid filled
Acoelomates
lack body cavity
- mesoderm filled with tissue
- ex. flatworms
Pseudocoelomates
“false” body cavity
- derived from mesoderm + endoderm
- still functional
- ex. roundworms
