What is the simularities between hemichordates and chorates?
Gill Slits
Live in shallow water
What are the differences between hemichorates and chordates?
Hemi: Stomochord Chord: Notochord Hemi: Bones like starfish Chord: bones like stiffcord Hemi: Tube dweller Chord: lives in tunic
What are the five hallmarks all Chordates have?
Notochord Dorsal Tubular Nerve Chord Pharyngeal Pouches and Slits Endostyle (Thyroid) Postanal Tail
What is the notochord?
flexable rod like structure that acts as a spine
Dense fiberous cells: cartalagenous spine that is one continueous tube
What is a dorsal tubular nerve chord?
A hollow chord
the antieror end becomes enlarged to form the brain
the nervous chord is protected by the neutral arches and th brain is protected by the cranium
Helps us move and picks up sensory and makes solutions.
What is the Pharyngeal Pouches and slits?
Can take in oxygen and filter feeding structure
What is the Endostyle?
Helps with growth and development
Mucus can be used with phayngeal cavity to help food stick to the gills
What is the Postanal Tail?
With somatic muscular and notochord, provides the mobility for swimming
Used for propolsion in the water
Used for balance
What is a urochordata?
Most are seditary, but some are free swimming
Live on the shore lines with tunics (shell like)
During adult metamorphisis, the notocord and tail disappear
U shaped heart
What is paedomorphosis?
Neoteny: Body lags in sexual development
Progenisis: Sped up sexual development
Abnormal sexual development
What organs does a hemichordata have?
Buccal Diverticulum: Hard pallet
Pharyngeal: gill slits
What is enteropneusta?
intestine breathing
hemichordate
What is the Chordata lifecycle?
Zygote Blastula Gameate Tadpole larva Either Metamorphisis or Paedomorphisis Adult
