Lab Exam 2nd Flashcards
Ways to classify animals:
Symmetry, Tissue & organs, Body cavity, embryonic development, DNA evidence
Types of Symmetry:
Asymmetrical, Bilateral, Radial
Asymmetrical symmetry
Irregular shape, Only in Porifera and PHYLUM Placozoa
Bilateral Symmetry
Left and right side. Mirror images if cut down the middle.
Radial Symmetry
Parts radiate from center. Phylum Cnidaria, Ctenophore, and adult Echinoderms
3 germ layers:
No true tissues, Diploblastic, Triploblastic
No true tissues
1 germ layers, Sponges and Placozoa
Diploblastic
2 germ layers (endoderm and ectoderm). Cnidarians and Ctenophores
Triploblastic
3 layers (endoderm, ectoderm, mesoderm).
Ectoderm
outermost layer; skin & nervous system
Endoderm
innermost layer; gut, liver, lungs
Mesoderm
middle layer, skeleton, heart, kidney, muscle, blood
Types of Body cavities
Acoelomate, Pseudocoelomate, Coelomate
Acoelomate
no body cavity
Pseudocoelomate
Body cavity between mesoderm and endoderm (organs attached at mouth and anus)
Coelomate
Body cavity completely lined with mesoderm
Coelom Purpose
- Fluid within body cavity cushions suspended organs
- Allows internal organs to grow and move independently of the outer body wall.
Sponges
Porifera;
Choanocytes,
Spicules
Osculum
Simple sponges
Asconoid
Small canals extending from spongocoel
Syconoid
Choanocytes distributed along chambers that branch off from (common)
Leuconoid
Cnidaria
inner gastrodermis; Cnidocytes (stinging); jellyfish; Hydrostatic skeleton; Gastrovascular cavity (feeding)
Statocysts
primitive sense on cnidaria
Nematocysts
stinging organelles within cnidocytes (stinging cells)
Two cnidaria taxa
Anthozoa, Medusozoa
Medusozoa two groups
Scyphozoa (jellies), Cubozoa (box jellies, sea box)
Protostomes in two groups
Ecdysozoa, Lophotrochozoa
Schizocoelous
protostome
Enterocoelous
Deuterostome
Nematoda
Pseudocoelomate, Longitudinal muscles only;
Roundworms, Vinegar Eels, Trichinella
Arthropoda
jointed appendages, segmented body, exoskeleton - chitin, open circulatory system
Arthropoda subphylums
Myriapoda (centi/millipedes),
Chelicerata (4 pairs legs, 2 body regions, gills/book lungs, 6 appendages),
Pancrustacea (heavy segmented, compound eyes, mandibles, 3 body regions)
Lophotrochozoans
spiral cell division; lophophore, trochophore
