Q

Why micro/meso/macrolecithal eggs?

A

micro: Depend on external source of nutrients…mammals
Meso: enough energy for tadpole and to metamorphosis
Macro: enough yolk to provide adult-like form

Q

Developmental steps for frog embryo

A

1: passes through animal-vegetal axis- 2 daughters
2: passes through animal-vegetal axis perpendicular to first cut-4 daughters
3: perpendicular to the 1st 2 cuts- 8 cells [unequal-macro/micromeres]
4: cuts continue to 32-64 cells
5: cells separate from internal cavity [blastocoel]-animal pole side
6: after blastulation, gatrulation begins: layerings form rearranged hollow ball
7: neurulation: formation of neural tube-CNS

Q

Discoidal cleavage Avians:

A

1: furrow in cytoplasm of disc @ animal pole

3: 2nd cleavage is perpendicular to the 1st.-4 equal sized blastomeres
4: 3rd cleavage lie parallel on either side of 1st–8 blastomeres.
5: 4th cleavage-circular furrow forms periphery of the 1st 3 -16 blastomeres.
6: yolk creates subgerminal space
7: 16-32 stage cleavage parallel blastodisc-multiple layers of blastomeres.
8: several hundred cell-stage=blastoderm
9: 2 cell layers[upper/lower] Separate making cavity in middle DELAMINIATION

28
Q

Most constant feature in epidermis:

A

Collagen

29
Q

Describe glands

A

Presence or absence of excretory duct, number of cells, type of secretion, mode of secretion, and shape

30
Q

Exocrine glands

A

Empty contents into a body cavity or onto a surface.

31
Q

Endocrine glands

A

Empty contents into bloodstream- ECF

32
Q

Glands in fishes

A

Unicellular and multicellular mucous

33
Q

Enamel vs. Dentine

A

Enamel: dead. Secreted by ameloblasts. Hardest substance in body.

Dentine: Secreted by odontoblasts. Organized in a matrix. LIVING. Blood vessels and innervation.

34
Q

Scale of fishes EVO.

A

Enamel->cosmine->enameloid-> ganoin->thin fibrous tissue on top of compact bone.

Less layers through EVO.

35
Q

Changes that occurred in early terrestrial vertebrates integument changes for possible terrestrial

A

Early fish became scaled no body armor b/c it was heavier-no buoyancy.
AMphibians became smoother skin-stratum Corneum [layers of dead keratin]
Keratinized stratum Corneum is adaptation to terrestrial life for defense to water loss in dry environment

36
Q

Amphibian integument characteristics important in transition from aquatic to terrestrial environment:

A
  • True stratum Corneum
  • Vascularized dermis for gas exchange:dermis is resp. Organ.
  • Numerous integumentary glands
37
Q

TYpes of glands asso. W/ amphibian integument

A
  • Leydig [unicellular]
  • Multicellular mucus glands [water-retention]
  • Multicellular poison glands -parotid glands are poison glands.
38
Q

Keratin is made from

A

It is a protein derivative of eleidin

39
Q

Reptile vs. amphibian integument

A

Reptiles stratum Corneum became more well-developed for reducing water-loss and epidermal glands or SCALES. Scales are folds in stratum Corneum.

40
Q

Epidermal scales vs. dermal scales

A

Epidermal: scales are interconnected by thin bridges of epidermis-shedding happens. Allows for animal growth. Thickening-cornfield scales called cutes..

Dermal:Overlapped and strengthened by epidermal scales. Dermal scales: bone/ plates

41
Q

Reptile vs. avian integument

A

Birds: thin skinned, well-developed stratum Corneum. Uropygial glands at base tail secrete oily material and spread for feathers to be soft and water-proof. Feathers are epidermal derivatives

42
Q

Contour feather

A

Shaft base: calamus.
Shaft connected to feather part is rachis.
Barbs extend out from rachis.
Rachis and barbs make the vane

43
Q

Feather types in birds:

A

Down feathers:plumules. Short calamus and no hooks on barbs =more efficient for trapping air.soft and fluffy. Ancestor to contour

Filoplumes: threadlike shaft. Stiff rachis= bristle-used to screen objects from nostrils, increase gape of mouth and form eyelashes

44
Q

Homeotherms

A

Able to maintain relative constant body temp. In spite of variations in ambient temp.

45
Q

Poikilotherms

A

Take on surrounding ambient temp. ( fish,amphibians, and reptiles)

46
Q

What anatomical modifications made homeothermy possible?

A
  • Feathers /hair trap air and can act as insulator.
  • High metabolic rate
  • Integument function-sweating, panting
  • sending more or less blood to the integument
47
Q

Which vertebrate groups are homeotherms?

A

Birds and mammals

48
Q

General characteristics of mammalian integument:

A
  • Well-developed epi/dermis
  • hair
  • mammary glands
  • thick dermis
  • dermis forms tough leather-tanning
  • no epidermal scales
  • glands
49
Q

Mammalian integument derivatives:

A

Glands
Hairs
Claws,antlers,hoofs,nails
Chromatophores

50
Q

Thick skin vs. thin skin

A

Designation depends on complexity of epidermis…

All skin is thin except skin on palms and soles of feet.

51
Q

What is missing in thin skin in the epidermis?

A

Stratum lucidum

Also rare in stratum granulosum

52
Q

Dermis histology

A

Dense fibrous irregular connective tissue

53
Q

Hypodermics characteristics:

A

Loose connective tissue under dermis

Contains panniculus adiposus

54
Q

2 layers of dermis

A

Papillary layer

Reticular layer

55
Q

Papillary layer

A
  • Loose connective tissue
  • Separate from epidermis by basal lamina
  • network of fine elastic fibers and abundant capillaries
56
Q

Reticular layer

A
  • Dense irregular Connective tissue

- fibrocytes, macrophages, and adipocytes

57
Q

Sudoriferous glands

A

Long, hollow tubular glands- produce sweat [watery secretion]

Larger and connected to hair follicles

Apocrine and Merocrine sweat glands

58
Q

Apocrine sudoriferous sweat glands

A

Asso. W/ hair follicles in axiliary and pubic region

Thicker secretions acted upon by bacteria

59
Q

Merocrine sudoriferous sweat glands

A

Watery secretion for evaporative cooling and important for thermoregulatory system

60
Q

Sebaceous glands

A

Holocrine glands

Asso. W/ hair follicles

Help keep hairs pliable and may provide a role in waterproofing the integument

61
Q

Mammary glands

A

Histologically similar to sudoriferous glands

Apocrine and Merocrine secretions

Different nipples in placentals and ungulates

62
Q

Claws, nails, hoofs, and horns

A

All similar- compressed layers of stratum Corneum
