Ocellus

A

Photoreceptive organ

28
Q

Otolith

A

Gravity-sensitive structure

29
Q

Visceral ganglion (2)

A

Part of Chordate CNS

1) Sends nerve tracts to musculature
2) Receives sensory nerves from tail

30
Q

Nerve Cord

A

Part of Chordate CNS

  • Ciliated ependymal cells around neurocoel
  • move CSF through nerve chord
  • Same type of cells that humans have
31
Q

Ependymal cells

A

CNS cells which function to move cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) through nerve chord

32
Q

4 structures found in Chordate Larvae

A

1) Central Nervous system
2) Neural Crest Cells
3) Rudimentary Heart
4) Blood

33
Q

Craniata

A
  • Chordates with heads (craniums) for movement and feeding
34
Q

What is the unique feature of Chordate Larvae

A

Presence of the neural crest

- population of cells that give rise to many structures (teeth, bone, neurons, etc.)

35
Q

Hagfish

A
Craniate, part of chordata
Cartilaginous skull - not bony skull
No jaw or vertebrae 
Notochord in adult 
All Marine 
Feed on detritus 
Produce mucus for defence
36
Q

Primitive vertebrae ENCLOSE vertebrae

37
Q

What was the most significant step towards selective feeding?

A

Development of jaws in Gnathostomes

38
Q

2 classes of Gnathostomes

A

1) Chondrichthyes (cartilagenous fish)
