Lecture 11/12/13: Invertebrates Flashcards
havent gone over lecture 11 or 13
what was the common ancestor between fungi and animals?
(probably) a colonial flagellated protists and may have resembles modern choanoflagellates
what does zoology mean?
study of animals
how do we define an animal?
- multicellular
- ingestive heterotrophs (absorb material and break it down for nutrients)
- don’t have cell walls (plasma membrane but no cell wall)
- two unique types of cells
- sexual reproduction
what does heterotrophs mean?
can’t produce energy on their own, therefore need to consume something internally and break it down for energy
how are the multicellular bodies of animals held together?
by extracellular structural proteins, especially COLLAGEN
what do plant/fungi cells have that animal cells don’t?
cell walls
animal cells have unique intercellular connections such as ___ ________, _____, and ____ _______.
tight junctions; desmosomes; gap junctions
what are desmosomes? where can they be found? how do they help?
- special structures in animal cells that act like a glue to hold cells together
- found in tissues that experience a lot of stretching or stress (like skin or heart muscle)
- help keep cells firmly attached to each other, which provides strength and stability to the tissue
what do the intercellular junctions in animal cells do?
they hold tissues together
what are intercellular junctions made of?
structural proteins
what are the two unique cell types of animals?
- NERVE cells: IMPULSE CONDUCTION. send and receive signals throughout your body to help you think/move/feel- body’s communication network
- MUSCLE (or muscle-like) cells: MOVEMENT. contractile and allow for movement of the animal
what stage is usually dominating the life cycle of animals?
diploid stage
most animals reproduce…
sexually
what does embryology mean?
the study of the development of cells
in most species, a small _______ ______ fertilizes a larger ________ ________
flagellated sperm; nonmotile egg
what is a nonmotile egg?
an egg that cannot move on its own
what does the zygote undergo that leads to the formation of a multicellular, hollow ball of cells called blastula?
cleavage; a succession (development) of mitotic cell divisions
what are the multicellular, hollow ball of cells called?
blastula’s
what happens during gastrulation?
SLIDE: part of the embryo folds inward which forms layers of embryonic tissues (and then develops into body parts)
CHAT: ball of cells starts to organize into layers, which later forms different body parts
what’s the difference between gastrulation and gastrula?
GASTRULATION: the PROCESS where the embryo fold inward to form different layers of cells
GASTRULA: what the embryo is called during and after this process
what is a larva?
a young, immature form that looks very different from the adult animal. Eats different food and may live in a different place than the adult
what will larva eventually go though when it changes into adult form?
metamorphosis
animals can be categorized by…
the symmetry of their bodies
what are the types of animal body symmetry?
- Bilateral symmetry
- Radial symmetry
- Spherical symmetry
what animal has radial symmetry?
sea anemones
what does bilateral symmetry inquire?
- dorsal (top) side
- ventral (bottom) side
- left and right side
- anterior (head) end
- posterior (tail) end
what does the “dorsal” side mean?
refers to the back or upper side of the animal
- think of ‘mon dos’ in french means my back
what does the “ventral” side mean?
refers to the “belly” or underside of the animal
what does “anterior” mean?
- for humans, refers to the front of the body (face, chest, belly)
- for animals, refers to where the head-end is
what does “posterior” mean?
- for humans, refers to the back side of the body (spine or butt)
- for animals, refers to the where the tail-end is
what is linked with bilateral symmetry?
cephalization
what is cephalization?
over time animals have evolved to have most of their sensory organs at the front or head. Along with this, the nervous system becomes more focused in the head, with a nerve cord running down toward the tail
the symmetry of an animal generally fits its ______
lifestyle
animals that move a lot are generally what type of symmetry?
bilateral
animals central nervous system allows them to…
coordinate complex movements such as crawling, burrowing, flying, swimming
how do you get different layers of cells?
when the cells fold over each other aka gastrulation
how many layers of embryonic tissue (germ layers) do animals have typically? how many do humans have?
2-3 (humans have 3)
what are the 3 germ layers called?
- ectoderm
- endoderm
- mesoderm
animals that only have two germ layers are called….
diploblastic
what is the ectoderm?
the OUTER germ layer of an embryo of animal cells.
- eventually forms the skin/outer covering of the body
- in some animals, it also helps form central nervous system
if you have three layers, what is it called?
tripoblastic
what is the endoderm?
the INNERMOST layer of an embryo of animal cells
- forms the inside lining of the digestive system
- creates organs like the liver and lungs in animals with back bones (vertebrates)
what’s the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates?
Vertebrates have a backbone or spine (like humans, bird, fish and reptiles), where invertebrates do not have a back bone. Example: insects, worms, jellyfish, and snails
what is the mesoderm?
the layer that lies between the endo and ectoderm layers of an animal cell embryo.
- develops into the muscles and most other organs between the digestive tube and the outer covering of the animal
what does pseudo mean?
they have a body cavity but it isn’t lined with mesoderm
what does the fluid in the pseudocoelom act as?
hydrostatic skeleton and a circulatory system
what are the three phyla of lophophorate animals?
- Ectoprotca
- Phoronida
- Brachiopoda
what is the shape of lophophore?
horseshoe-shaped or circular fold of the body wall that has ciliated tentacles
what do the ciliated tentacles do?
bring food (nutrients) to mouth
what type of worms have bodies much like those of flatworms?
proboscis worms or ribbon worms
whats different between the bodies of ribbon worms and flatworms?
ribbon worms have a small fluid-filled sac that is a reduced version of a true coelom
what is a coelom?
a flexible space inside the body that holds organs and provides them with room to function without being compressed/damaged (body cavity lined by the mesodermal tissue)
nearly all nemerteans are _____, but there are still some that inhabit _____ freshwater or damp soil, as some are swimmer and some are burrowers.
marine
what do nemerteans not have in their body?
a heart
how is the blood moved around in a nemertean?
the blood is propelled by muscles squeezing the vessels
what is a proboscis?
something the worm uses to capture prey; muscular, tube-like extension they push out of their mouth
what are examples of molluscs?
- scallops
- snails
- slugs
- octopus
- clam
- squid
- oyster
- mussel
what are the characteristics of mollusca?
- marine or terrestrial
- soft-bodied
- some are protected by hard shell
- similar body plan
where could i find molluscs?
anywhere. (marine, fresh water, terrestrial)
even though all molluscs look different, they have a similar body plan. What does this body plan include?
- muscular foot (for movement)
- visceral mass (to hold internal organs)
- mantle (shell)
what is the hard shell of mollusca made of?
calcium carbonate
how do many molluscs (like snails and slugs) feed?
by using a tongue-like organ with tiny teeth, aka radula, to scrape up food
