Q

what are the different cell junctions

A

anchoring junction- have room between cells for things to pass through

tight junction- small space between cells allows for more control of what passes through

gap junction- important for synaptic transmission (nervous system)

25
Q

why are zygote cleavage patterns important

A

it is an important trait that distinguishes two major lineages

26
Q

what are protostomes

A

a zygote cleavage pattern that exhibits spiral cleavage- newly produced cells lie in the space between the cells immediately below them

27
Q

what are deuterostomes

A

zygote cleavage pattern that exhibits radical cleavage- newly produced cells lie directly above and below other cells of the embryo

28
Q

what cells are the development fates decided right away? which ones are humans?

A

-protostomes have a predetermined cell fate
-humans are deuterostomes meaning developmental fates of the first few cells are not determined

29
Q

in deuterostomes what happens if a cell is removed form a morula

A

it will go on to form a complete organism (identical twins)

30
Q

is the blastula see in everything

A

no it is specific to animals

31
Q

what further happens after blastula

A

blastula invaginates and undergoes further differentiation into 2 or 3 (most amimals) germ layers

32
Q

what are the three germ layers that form from blastula invaginating

A

ectoderm
mesoderm
endoderm

33
Q

what do different germ layers differentiate to form

A

tissues and organs

34
Q

what are diploblastic animals

A

i.e jellies, corals
they have two germ layers, the ectoderm and the endoderm

35
Q

what are triploblastic animals

A

i.e flat worms, chordates (us)
have three germ layers ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm

36
Q

what things does the ectoderm make up

A

skin and nervous system

37
Q

what things does the endoderm make up

A

digestive tract

38
Q

what things does the mesoderm make up

A

muscle and skeleton

39
Q

what is the different orders of embryonic developments of the anus and mouth of protostomes and deuterostomes

A

deuterostomes- blastopore develops into anus; mouth forms later

protosomes- blastopore develops into mouth; anus forms later

40
Q

what is the body cavity called

A

coelom

41
Q

where does the mesoderm differentiate, and the coelom originate in protostomes

A

the mesoderm differentiates near the blastopore and the coelom (body cavity) originates as a split in the mesoderm (schizocoelom)

42
Q

what is schizocoelom

A

the coelom (body cavity) originates as a split in the mesoderm

43
Q

where does the mesoderm differentiate, and the coelom originate in deuterosomes

A

mesoderm originates form out pocketing of archenteron (primitive gut). the coelom develops from space within the outpocketings (enterocoelom)

44
Q

what is the enterocoelom

A

coelom develops from space within the outpocketings

45
Q

what is radical symmetry

A

can be divided equally by any longitudinal plane passing through central axis (diploblastic)

46
Q

what is bilateral symmetry

A

can be divided along a vertical plane at the middle to create two identical halves (triploblastic)

47
Q

what characteristics do animals with radial symmetry have

A

-diploblastic (except adult echinoderms)
-exhibits no left or right sides (have a top (dorsal and a bottom (ventral) side)
-often circular or tubular in shape with a mouth at one end

48
Q

what do cnidarians and ctenophores have

A

often circular or tubular in shape with a mouth at one end

49
Q

what are some features animals with bilateral symmetry have

A

-triploblastic
-balanced duplicate distribution of most body parts
-specialized head with feeding and sensory organs (cephalization)
-digestive chamber with two openings, mouth and anus

50
Q

what is cephalization

A

specialized head with feeding and sensory organs found in animals with bilateral symmetry

51
Q

what is segmentation

A

-seen in animals with bilateral symmetry
-repeated structures along the anterior-posterior axis
-seem in annelids, arthropods, chordates
-advantages: movement, specialization

52
Q

what does the coelom do

A

it separates the gut form the body wall

53
Q

what is a eucolomate

A

-most animals are
-a fluid filled cavity between the intestines and the body wall
-formed within the misoderm of the embryo

54
Q

what is acelomate

A

-no body cavity
-flat worms (phylum playthelminthes)
-diploblastic are all acoelomates

55
Q

what is psuedocoelomate

A

-fluid filled or organ-filled space between endoderm and mesoderm
-roundworms (phylum nematoda)

56
Q

what are the phylum playthelminthes

A

Acelomates

57
Q

what are the phylum nematoda

A

pseudocoelomate

58
Q

why do we study animal diversity and evolution

A

-animals (and their body systems) have a common evolutionary history
-helps us to learn common principals

-animals occupy very diverse types of environments
-helps us understand environmental adaptaions

59
Q

what is the physiological phenotype a product of

A

the genotype and the environment

60
Q

what challenges must animals overcome to be able to survive and reporduce

A

-extract nutrients and O2/energy form the environment
-eliminate toxic metabolic waste form the body
-sense environmental changes and respond favourably
-maintain near constant internal body conditions
