what are pharyngeal pouches?
structures in the throat that form into gills
Is “dorsal” in the front or back of the body?
back. our backbone is on the dorsal part of our bodies
how do animals maintain homeostasis?
- gathering and responding to information, 2. obtaining and distributing oxygen, 3. collecting and eliminating co2 and wastes, 4. reproduce
all chordates have what 4 har. at some point in their lives?
- dorsal hollow nerve chord, 2. a back bone, 3. pharyngeal pouches, 4. a tail
feed back inhibition helps homeostasis how?
it keeps an environmental stimuli from imbalancing homeostasis. cold air, body shivers to move muscle to heat you up.
receptors are ?
nerve cells that respond to stimuli and analyze the data for our best interest.
what element do we need for cellular respiration?
o
How do animals get oxygen?
gills, absorb through skin, breathe, digesting food

respiratory, excretory
what is a body plan?
unique organization of a body structure for each animal clade
what are the features found in different body plans?
- body symmetry, 2. embryonic development, 3. segmented body types. 4. limb formation, 5. cephalization
radial symmetry?
extended outward from the center
