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)
