Exam 1 Flashcards
Multicellular
Heterotrophs
zygote undergoes clevage (mitosis) to create bastula
Metazoans
bilateral
radial
asymmetrical
types of symmetry
sudden appearance and apparently rapid diversification of complex animals
Cambrian Explosion
Type of symmetry
correlated with cephalization

bilateral symmetry
the concentration of nervous and sensory tissues and organs at one end of an animal, resulting in distinct anterior and posterior ends.
cephalization
Invertbrates can be classified by
multicellular
acellular (without cells)
unicellular (single celled)
formed in the early stages of embryonic devleopment and gives rise to adult tissues/organs
germ layers
Type of symmetry

Radial symmetry
Type of symmetry
asymmetrical
2 germ layers (ectoderm + endoderm)
Diploblastic
3 germ layers ( ectoderm, endoderm, mesoderm)
Triploblastic
outermost layer of cells
ectoderm
types of germ layers
mesoderm
ectoderm
endoderm
innermost layer of cells
endoderm
rise from the ectoderm or endoderm
lies between the ectoderm and the endoderm
mesoderm
animals possessing a coelom
mesoderm lines body cavity on both sides
coelmates or eucoeolmates
What body cavity type is this?

Coelmate or eucoelmate
internal, fluid-filled body cavity
lying between the gut and the outer body wall
lined lined by epithelium (mesoderm derived)
acts as a protective cushion for internal organs
coelom
Blastophore becomes mouth
mouth before anus
spiral clevage and deteminate
coelom formation: as a splitting of the mesoderm
Protostomes
process of the coelom is formed by splitting the mesoderm tissue
Protostomes does this
schizocoely
Blastophore becomes the anus
anus before mouth
radial cleavage and indeterminate
coelm formation: evagination of the archenteron into the embryonic blastocoel
Deuterostomes
Coelmates are divided into
Protosomes or Deuterostomes
occurs in Deuterostomes
mesoderm develops as pouches
which are pinched off from the endoderm tissue
eventually fuse to form the mesoderm
giving rise to coelm
enterocoely
internal body cavity derived from the blastocoel
mesoderm do not line entire body cavity (only body cavity not gut)
no true coelm
Pseudocoelomates
