Q

Urochordata (tunicates)

A

larva = bilateral symmetry, sessile as adults with gill slits. Adults also have outer tunic and excurrent siphon that squirts out water when it feels in danger.

Q

Vertebrata: Amphibia

A

Frogs, toads, and salamanders. 1st land vertebrates (actually just fish with short fleshy fins) mostly terrestrial but lay eggs in water. Eggs becomes tadpoles which go through a metamorphosis to become adults. 1st animals with LEGS AND LUNGS.

25
Q

simple

A

only one layer of cells.

26
Q

stratified

multiple layers of cells, stacked ontop of each other. Typically with squamous on outside, then cuboidal, and the basement membrane of columnar. SKIN

27
Q

glandular

A

found in glands, not same protective functions as the rest.

28

32
Q

collagen

A

most commonly secreted protein by fibroblasts. (25%)`

33
Q

loose C.T.

A

cells scattered w/in amorphous mass of proteins to form ground substance

34
Q

dense C.T.

A

tightly packed collagen fibers (tendons and ligaments)

35
Q

ground substance

A

proteins along with loose C.T.

36
Q

elastin

A

protein molecule arrangement that allows for stretching

37
Q

reticulin

A

thin, branching fibers that hold glands such as spleen and lymph nodes in place.

38
Q

adipose tissue

A

each adipose cell contains 1 drop of fat.

39
Q

A

intercellular fluid matrix of blood

41
Q

leukocyte

A

white blood cells (immunity)

42
Q

contract due to the relationships between actin and myosin, have myofibrils with a single muscle cell that contracts. 3 total types.

52
Q

skeletal muscle

A

(striated) attached to bones and controlled voluntarily
