powerpoint chapter 2 Flashcards
three groups in the chrodates
cephalochordates
urochordates
vertebrates
why do chordates fossilize poorly
no hard substance to fossilize or leave behind
chordates have ..three things
a coelom
bilateral symmetry
deuterostomes
early chordates were found when
530 mya during the Cambrian Explosion
in development when the blastopore becomes the anus
deuterostome
in development when the blastopore becomes the mouth
protostome
At some point in their life all chordates have these 5 things
notochord pharyngeal slits endostyle or thyroid gland dorsal hollow nerve cord post anal tail
stiff flexing rod that is dorsal to the coelom/ventral to nerve cord
cells and fluid are in a fibrous sheath
notochord
“jelly” on the inside of the intervertebral disks is the only thing left of the notochord in vertebrates when adults
nucleus pulposus
post oral space in the digestive tract
pharynx
openings on sides of pharynx for feeding function
slits
groove in the pharynx floor which functions in filter feeding and found in cephalochrodates, urochordates and larval lamprey
endostyle
forms off the floor of the pharynx and produces 2 major hormones for metabolism and found in vertebrates and adult lamprey
thyroid gland
forms from embryonic ectoderm
dorsal hollow nerve cord
the fluid filled space of the dorsal hollow nerve cord
neurocoel
posterior extension of body beyond anus which is made of segmented muscle/bone and notochord
post anal tail
segmented blocks of muscle
myomeres
called “first” chordates but not a true taxon
protochordates
four general characteristics of connective tissue
not usually on surfaces
most have nerves
vascularization varies
all derive from mesenchyme of embryo
ground substance and fibers makes up the
matrix
functions of connective tissue
binding/support
protection
insulation
transport
immature cell and matrix forming
blast
mature cell and non secreting
cyte
