Lecture 2 & 3 Flashcards
True or False
Animals are made up of cells
that do not have cell walls.
True
Four types of Tissues
- epithelial
- connective
- muscle
- nervous
Animals are able to respond quickly
to external stimuli as a result of
_________
nerve cells, or muscle or contractile tissue
or both.
The phylogenetic tree
of animals is based on ________
morphological, fossil,
and genetic evidence.
This special feature found in sponges distinguishes them from other phyla
true tissue
closest phyla to chordata
echinodermata
This phylum is pore-bearing and sessile
Porifera (sponges)
Canal systems of porifera
- ascon
- sycon
- leucon
a large opening of the sponge to the outside through which the current of water exits
osculum (pl. oscula)
allow water to enter the sponge
ostium (pl. ostia)
Skeletal elements of sponges
- calcium carbonate
- silicon
- spongin
Phylum known as the stingers
Cnidaria
what are stinging cells of cnidarians called?
cnidocytes
2 stages of cnidarian life cycle
- polyp
- medusa
- triploblastic
- flattened dorsoventrally; acoelomate
- exhibit cephalization: anterior & posterior
- both free living and parasitic
- incomplete digestive tract: mouth = anus
platyhelminthes
an evolutionary trend in which, over many generations, the mouth, sense organs, and nerve ganglia become concentrated at the front end of an animal, producing a head region.
cephalization
- unsegmented
- triploblastic
- grossly polyphyletic
(8 phyla) - complete GI tract
- fluid-filled pseudocoel
- longitudinal muscles only
produce a whipping motion
Phylum Nematoda
- With true coelom
- Specialized systems
- Metamerism: true segmentation
- Complete GI tract
- Cosmopolitan
- Examples: earthworm,
tubeworms, leech
Phylum Annelida
found all over the world
cosmopolitan
- Soft body with internal or external shell
*Mostly marine (snails are terrestrial) - Examples: slugs, clams, squids, octopus
Phylum Mollusca
the repetition of homologous body segments; true segmentation
metamerism
- Jointed appendages
- Segmented body
- Exoskeleton (skeleton on
outside) - Mandibles – chewing
mouthparts - Metamorphosis ( egg -
larva - adult) - Example: spiders,
crustaceans, centipedes,
Phylum Arthropoda
- Jointed appendages
- Segmented body
- Exoskeleton (skeleton on
outside) - Mandibles – chewing
mouthparts - Metamorphosis ( egg -
larva - adult) - Example: spiders,
crustaceans, centipedes,
Phylum Arthropoda
Adult with radial
symmetry
* Water vascular system
* Internal skeleton:
calcium carbonate
* Capable of
regeneration
* Examples: sea stars,
brittle stars, sea
cucumbers
Phylum Echinodermata
