Lecture 11 Flashcards
zygote
diploid cell resulting from union of 2 haploid gametes
embryo
young animal or plant while it is still contained in a protective structure
two processes of embryonic development
- cleavage
2. gastrulation
Cleavage
- first cell division in embryo
process of forming many cells from one cell - forms a morula (solid ball of cells) that grows into a blastula
Gastrulation
- in-folding, invagination
- a process of forming embryonic tissues layer (2-3) from the first layer of cell
Gastrula
Layers of embryonic layer of cells formed = germ layer
Three germ layers
- ectoderm
- endoderm
- mesoderm
ectoderm
outer layer
- epidermis, nervous system
endoderm
- digestive and respiratory system
mesoderm
internal organs
diploblastic
organisms with 2 germ layers
triploblastic
organisms with 3 germ layers
Archenteron
“old gut”
- digestive space (gut cavity)
blastopore
anus or mouth
- Tissues, enable complex body organization
- Gut, enable extracellular digestion
Types of symmetry
- Asymmetrical
- Radially symmetrical
- Bilaterally symmetrical
Asymmetrical
- no axis dives body into equal halves
- ex. some sponges
- cannot cut this into two symmetrical pieces
radially symmetrical
- along one plan, as long as one cuts through centre, body can be divided into equal halves from many angles
- Ex. Cnidarians (sea anemone)
Bilaterally symmetrical
- single axis divides body into equal halves
- midsagittal plane (between eyes)
Cnidaria (6)
- diploblastic, blind gut, radial symmetry
- jellyfish, sea anemones, corals, hydrozoans
- 11,000 species
- mostly marine
- carnivores
- nervous and muscular tissue
Cindaria - Body plan
Mesoglea - gelatinous material between the epidermis and gastrodermis is filled with collagen and proteglycans Epidermis Gastrodermis Mouth (from blastopore) Gastrovascular cavity
