Lab 5: Vertebrate Dissection Part 1 Flashcards
Animals with backbones are grouped into a subphylum____, which is a division of the phylum ___
vertebrata
chordata
The three divisions of the chordata phylum are
urochordates, cephalocordates, and vertebrata
All chordates share four common features at some stage in development:
- notochord
- dorsal hollow nerve cord
- pharyngeal gill slits
- postanal tail
___ contain a living endoskeleton which grows with the animal and allows for continuous growth, unlike invertebrates
chordates
A notochord is
a type of dorsally located flexible rod endoskeleton
In higher chordates the notochord is replaced by a
vertebral column
The nerve cord of chordates develops into the
CNS
TorF: all chordates have traces of pharyngeal slits at some point in their embryonic development
True
Pigs belong to the subdivision/class
mammalia
Pigs belong to the order
artiodactyla
All mammals share six characteristics
- endothermal regulation with fat, hair, and skin (for some)
- moveable eyelids and external ears
- efficient respiratory and circulatory system with a four chambered heart and non-nucleated RBCs
4.Diaphragm separating thoracic and abdominal cavities - intrauterine embryonic development
- mammary glands
The bodies of mammals are three major regions:
- head and neck
- trunk
- tail
Pigs have short necks, a feature seen in ____ animals
burrowing/rooting
The nares are the ____ in the pigs snout
nostrils
Papillae are
numerous small projections on the tongues surface, taste buds/draw food in
Pigs begin ingesting solid food __ after birth
soon
The eye location of the pig is typical of ___ species
vegetarian
TorF pigs are carnivores
F, omnivores
The nictitating membrane is
a translucent covering over the eye that keeps it clean and moist
The auricle/pinna of the ear is
the flesh covered cartilage structure that is the most obvious part of the ears
In many animals, the auricle collects
sound waves and channels the into the external auditory canal
Pigs have ___ digits that end in hooves
four
The first seven pairs of ribbed are joined to the ___, while the other five
sternum
either joined the sternum by cartilage or float
TorF: Mammary papillae or present in both males and females
true
Wild pigs have a gestation of __ months
