Classification of prochordates and vertebrates Flashcards
What are the characteristics of chordates
Notochord, dorsal nerve chord, pharyngeal gill slits, ad post anal tail
Characteristics of phylum Chordata
notochord, pharyngeal slits, endostyle or thyroid gland, dorsal tubular nerve cord, post anal tail
protostomes fundamental patterns
Blastophore (mouth), spiral cleavage, schizocoelic coelom, and ectodermal skeleton
Deuterostomes fundamental patterns
Blastopore (anus), radial cleavage, enterocoelic coelom, mesodermal skeleton
The notochord develops from the ______ in chordates
Mesoderm
the notochord is a _______ organ with elastic properties
hydrostatic
the notochord resists
compression
The notochord induces ________ development
dorsal neural tube
Pharyngeal slits are formed when
pockets of ectoderm and endoderm meet
Pharyngeal slits pierce or nearly pierce the wall if the
pharynx
the endostyle is a glandular groove in the floor of the
pharynx
The endostyle utilizes
iodine
Common animals that have an endostyle are the
urochordates, cephalochordates and larval lampreys’
the thyroid gland develops from the
the floor of the pharynx
The thyroid require ____ for proper function
iodine
The thyroid has
endodermal origin
Adult lampreys, hagfish, and gnathostomates have
thyroids
the neural plate develops from the
ectoderm
The dorsal tubular nerve cord develops
dorsal to the notochord
Invagination
is the folding and rolling of the neural plate into a tube
the postanal tail develops from the
ectoderm
Postanal tail allows for
motility and balance
In cephalochordates the _______ and the _________ remain in adults
notochord; nerve chord
cephalochordates have a endostyle that
secretes mucus
Cephalochordates have a _______ on the roof of the bucal cavity
Hatscheks pit
Cephalochordates have a _______ complex
pharyngeal arch
Cephalochordates lack
hearts and kidneys
Cephalochordates have a ______ for filter water exit
atriopore
urochordates are free swimming larvae that have a _____ and ______
notochord neural tube
