lecture 17- animals Flashcards
characteristics of animals
eukaryotic cells with no cell wall
multicellular with cell specialization
chemoheterotrophics
motile
most sexually reproduce
respond quickly to stimuli and have the nervous and muscle tissue to do so
what is asymmetry
body that cant be divided into symmetrical parts
what is radial symmetry
any cut along the central body axis will result in similar halves
what is bilateral symmetry
if you cut the body in half you get mirror halves
what is intracellular digestion and an example
digestion that occurs inside the cells
sponges
how does intracellular digestion work
food vacuoles are made around the food by phagocytosis
lysosomes break them down using hydrolytic enzymes
what is extracellular digestion
digestion that occurs outside of cells
where does extracellular digestion happen
in a compartment of the body that is continuous with the outside of the animals body (mouth to anus in humans)
how is food absorbed in humans
via capillaries in the small intestine
what is diffusion
nutrients, gases and chemical waste diffuse between the cells and the environment
over small distances
cells need to be in constant contact with the environment (unicellular or one cell thick)
what are the functions of the circulatory system
gives cells access to substances present in external environments
integrates most of the other body systems
what are the types of circulatory systems
open and closed
characteristics of an open circulatory system
vessels are open ended
bathes tissues directly
blood and interstitial fluid are mixed
what spills out of the ends will diffuse back into the circulatory system
what is hemolymph
mixture of the blood and interstitial fluid in open system circulatory systems
who has an open circulatory system
insects, spiders and mollusks
characteristics of closed circulatory systems
no open ends
continuous circuit of blood vessels
blood is distinct of interstitial fluid
most efficient
who has a closed circulatory system
segmented worms, squid, octopus
birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals
what are the two types of respiratory systems
diffusion and respiratory surface
what is a respiratory surface
part of animal where gases are exchanged with the environment
movement of gases is done by diffusion
what are the characteristics of respiratory surfaces
thin
large surface area (air sacs in lungs to make them bigger)
moist (helps gases diffuse faster)
what are types of respiratory surfaces
tracheal systems (insects)
gills
lungs
what are the nine phylums in the animalia kingdom
porifera
cnidaria
platyhelminthes
mollusca
annelida
nematoda
arthropoda
echinodermata
chordata
animals in porifera
animals with porous bodies
sponges
animals in cnidaria
jelly fish, corals, hydra
animals in platyhelminthes
flatworms
tapeworms, planaria
animals in mollusca
snail, clam, oyster, squid, octopus
animals in annelida
segmented worms
earthworms, leeches
animals in nematoda
roundworms
pinworms, ascaris
animals in arthropoda
spiders, centipedes, insects, crustaceans
animals in echinodermata
starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars
what is the only phylum that does intracellular digestion
porifera
sponges
which phylums have asymmetry
porifera
sponges
which phylums have radial symmetry
cnidaria
jellyfish, hydra, corals
which phylums have segmentations
annelida (segmented worms)
arthropoda (spiders, insects)
chordata (reduced)
