Lecture 1 Flashcards
body plan
regular arrangement of body structures relative to axis of the body
asymmetrical
no symmetry
symmetry
balance of proportions
spherical symmetry
infinite number of planes
rare
senses interact with environment from all directions
radial symmetry
body can be divided into a similar half by more than two planes
- general form of a cylinder
(eg. jelly fish)
bilateral symmetry
can be divided along a sagittal plane
-head explores environment first
anterior
head
posterior
tail
dorsal
top
ventral
stomach
frontal
dorsal-> ventral
sagittal
left-> right (longitudinal)
transverse
anterior->posterior (cross section)
proximal
close to mid-line
lateral
further from mid-line
protozoa
first, unicellular animal-like organism
-lives independently
metazoa
after, multicellular animals
-cannot live independently
protoplasmic level organization
all life functions within single cell
cellular level organization
- cells not organized into tissues
- division of labour between cells (reproduction, nutrition)
cell-tissue level organization
aggregation of cells into tissues
tissue-organ level organization
aggregation of tissues into organs
eg. parenchyma, stomate
organ-system level organization
organs work together to form a system to perform functions
embryonic layers
ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
body cavity examples
gut and coelomic cavity
blastula
a cluster of cells
blastocoel
cells arranged in one layer of germ cells around a fluid-filled cavity
ectoderm
outer germ layer
endoderm
inner germ layer
invagination
leads to first cavity
gastrocoel
gut cavity
blastopore
opening into gastrocoel
incomplete gut
food comes in and out the same opening
complete gut
has two openings
protostomes
blastopore- mouth
deuterostomes
blastopore-anus
schizocoely
proliferation of cells from near the lip of the blastopore (splitting)
enterocoely
pushing of the central region of the archenteron wall-mesoderm formation
coelom
fluid filled cavity surrounded by mesoderm
hydrostatic skeleton
aids in locomotion
acoelomate
no coelom, parenchyma (mesoderm)
pseudocoelomate
“tube within a tube”
eucoelomate
true coelom, lined with peritoneum
body symmetry
asymmetric, bilateral, spherical, radial
cephalization
head-directional movement
graded (hierarchial) organization
protoplasmic to organ system
complexity and body size
correlated
germ layers
ecto, ends, meso
body cavities
gut, coelomic
body segmentation
complexity and improvement in function
