Exam 2 Chapter INVERTEBRATES Flashcards
Traditional classification of animals
based on:
type of symmetry
pattern of embryonic development
presences or absence of a true body cavity
presence or absence of certain types of tissue
open circulatory system vs/ closed circulatory system
The open circulatory system has a combination of blood vessels and large thin-walled sinuses whereas a closed circulatory system has ONLY vessels
Symmetry
bilateral vs radial
hermaphrodite
individual animal that can produce both sperm and eggs.
ex: worms, snails, slugs, barnacles.
typical animal embryonic development
follows path of zygote –> morula –> blastula –> gastrula
germ layers
embryonic layers that have different developmental potentials
The endoderm forms the gut, the ectoderm forms part of the nervous system and the epidermis, and the mesoderm forms muscles and most internal organs.
Diploblastic and triploblastic animals
diploblastic have two germ layers (endoderm and ectoderm) triploblastic have three germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm)
Bilateral
Bilateria are characterized by a plane of symmetry that forms mirror images around a vertical plane in the midline…confers anterior and posterior areas and allows for greater efficiency in movement for seeking food and mates
Radiata
Radiata are characterized with radial symmetry;
Symmetrical body plans first evolved in the phylum Cnidaria
Parazoa
Parazoa lack symmetry, have no true tissues or organs.
Sponges.
Eumetazoa
Eumetazoa have symmetry and more than one type of true tissues and organs
cephalization
concentration of sensory organs on the anterior end of the body
chordate
animal with notochord
acoelomates
1 of 3 type of body plan for bilateral symmetrical animals.
have no body cavity
An acoelomate is an animal with neither a coelom nor a pseudocoelom, thereby lacking a body cavity.
coelomates
1 of 3 type of body plan for bilateral symmetrical animals.
have a fluid filled body cavity lined with mesodermal cells and develops entirely within the mesoderm
Coelomates are animals with a true coelom. A true coelom is completely enclosed by mesoderm
pseudocoelomate
body cavity (called a pseudocoelom) located between endoderm (inner layer) and mesoderm (outer layer)
a pseudocoelom has an outer layer of mesoderm and an inner one of endoderm
dominant animal phyla on land
Mollusca, Arthropoda (phyla with the greatest number of species), Chordata
animal evolutionary transitions
radial to bilateral symmetry; no body cavity to body cavity; unsegmented to segmented bodies, and protostome to deuterostome development
protostomes
spiral cleavage; animals in which the mouth develops from the blastopore and the anus if present develops from the second opening
deuterostome
Include Chordates and Echinoderm and evolved from protostomes; triploblastic; dividing cells on a radius from the polar axis; are bilateral symmetrical; blastopore becomes anus and mouth develops later; indeterminate development meaning any cell from embryo (up to 8 cell embryo) can develop into a complete organism; are coelomates with coelom produced by invagination of archenteron
coelom evolution
led to hydrostatic skeleton development;
that led to circulatory system solving problem of barrier to diffusion created by gut surrounded by tissue
Porifera (Phylum)
the sponges, means "pore bearer" asymmetrical, no tissues, no organs, contain 2 layers of cells with a jellylike substance in between filter feeder sessile (does not move) asexual and sexual reproduction
Cnidarian
invertebrates that have stinging cells and take food into a central body cavity
(jellyfish, moon jelly, anemone, etc)
have cnidocytes: stinging cells only used once.
Platyhelminthes
FLATWORMS bilaterian, unsegmented, soft-bodied no body cavity: acoelomates no respiratory organs no specialized circulatory organs
