Tissues (to organs, to organ systems)
Endoskeleton
3 Germ layers (names of them)
lab 9

3 lab hazards
lab safety
sharps

specimens
Proximal
R/t dissection lab 13
Close to a point of reference. No distal
cephalization
lab 9
concentration of sensory organs (platy flatworm)
(Doral hollow) Nerve cord
Lab 9
1 of 4 characteristics of chordates
Nerve fiber tube that develops into the CNS
Runs along the back (unlike with other phyla who have ventral nerve chords that run along the belly)
Blastula
lab 9
What you get (in early embryogenesis) when a single cell has divided into many, many additional, highly compacted cells that clump together against one of the inner walls, resulting in the formation of a hollow cavity opposite the clump
what b and logC represents
Island Biogeography Lab
log of the #of species you have when A (area) = 1
essentially, it’s a baseline # of species
Pelvic
R/t dissection lab 13
Relating to the hip region
Triploblastic animals
lab 9
animals that have all three germ layers
blastocyst
Khan lab 9
what you call a blastula (in early embryogenesis) that has formed it’s cell clump and blastocoel cavity
Null hypothesis
lab 10 arthropod bx
A prediction of what you should observe when/if the ‘alternative’ (aka ‘research’) hypothesis is false
Given by H0
Muscular post anal tail
Lab 9
1 of 4 characteristics of chordates
Tail (for swimming or wagging or shriveling into a coccyx tailbone)
Types of wastes bins
lab safety
sharps bin
biohazard bin
regular trash bin
Null hypothesis FAILS to be rejected if…
(Accept your alternative hypothesis if…)
(lab 10 arthropod bx)
Your data turns out to be random, after all
Determined by using a table to relate your chi squared value to your degree of freedom value, with respect to your experiment’s established p value and the table’s listed statistical significance threshold
parazoa character (lab 9)
describes animals that DO NOT have true tissues
t -test definition
spice lab
used to compare means (like from a bar chart) while accounting for sample size and spread of the data
Kinesis???!!!
lab 10 arthropod bx
Per Susan: a non-directional change in activity rate in response to a stimulus
Movement/motion (as in movement of a cell or organism)
2 types of cnidaria body types
lab 9
sedentary polyp
floating medusa
2 characteristics of protostome cells
lab 9
- they are NOT stacked directly on top of one another
2. they are determinant (removing any will cause the embryo to die)
4 things about platyhelminthes (platy-hell-minth-haze) phylum
(Lab 9)
Soft unsegmented worms (like flat worms & tape worms)
Oldest triploblasts
Acoelomates
Undifferentiated cells (you can cut one in half and the 2 ends will keep growing)
Why we compared animals by phylum
lab 9
differences between animals at this level occur in the embryonic stage
non-logarithmic way to write formula for spices #
Island Biogeography Lab
S=(CA)^z
where S = # of speices
C = S values when A = 1
A = area
z = rate of change
names of the 2 germ layers that diploblastic animals have
lab 9
- ectoderm
2. endoderm
Coelom (sea-lum)
lab 9
fluid filled cavity in the mesoderm that provides structural support and stores/protects organs, allowing them to move separately from the body wall
(since it’s in the mesoderm, only triploblastic animals have it)
Superficial
R/t dissection lab 13
On or near the surface
Deep
R/t dissection lab 13
Some distance beneath the surface
Type of graph you use a t test for
spice lab
bar graph
p-value
lab 10 arthropod bx
Quantitative representation of how ‘correct’ your null hypothesis is/was (based on how your results compare with established p-values for randomness)
May be r/t your Chi square value as shown on a reference table p.193
lophotrochozoa character (lab 9)
describes animals who have trochophore larvae
includes mollusca, annelid, and Platyhelminthes
4 things about nemotoda phyla???
Mostly parasites like hook worms
Psuedocoelomates
Flexible cuticle/exoskeleton AND hydrostatic skeleton???
4 things about annalida phylum
Lab 9
Leaches, earthworms, lugworms Coelomate Nerve cord Gas exchange Hydrostatic skeleton
Sagittal plane
R/t dissection lab 13
Relating to the midplane that divides the structure into right and left halves
‘blast’ suffix
lab 9
refers to an immature stage of development in a cell or tissue, such as a bud or germ cell
eumetazoa character (lab 9)
describes animals that have true tissues
trochophore larvae
lab 9
produced by animals with lophotrochozoa character
is a type of free-swimming planktonic marine larvae with several bands of cilia.
3 Germ layers (definition)
lab 9
3 layers in early embryogenesis body plan that eventually develop into other, separate things/structures
germ layer
lab 9
a group of cells in an embryo that interact with each other as the embryo develops and contribute to the formation of all organs and tissues.
All animals, except perhaps sponges, form two or three germ layers. The germ layers develop early in embryonic life, through the process of gastrulation.
radiata character (lab 9)
describes when animals have RADIAL symmetry LARVAE
