Practical Modules 2 and 3 Flashcards
Hydra
-Phylum Cnidaria
Planaria
-Phylum Platyhelminthes
European Earthworm
- Latin: Lumbricus terrestris
- Phylum Annelida
- Alimentary canal and closed circulatory system
- Aortic arches: enlarged lateral blood vessels, pump blood through circulatory system (circulatory)
Crayfish
- Phylum Arthropoda
- Latin: Procambarus clarkii
- Gills: Gas-exchange/breathing (respiratory)
- **Swimmerettes attached to it
- Heart: pumpin hemolymph (circulatory)
- Cardiac stomach: grind up food using beat of heat (digestive)
- Open circulatory system
- Male= enlarged swimmerets and genital opening
Vertebrate Phylum
-Phylum Chordata
Bullfrog
- Latin: Lithobates catesbeiana
- Female= eggs everywhere
- Male= testes (small beans)
- 3-chambered heart: 1 ventricle, 2 atria
Domestic Pig
- Latin: Sus scrofa domesticus
- Closed circulatory system
- Alimentary canal
What is the function of the grastrovascular cavity?
- Single opening for intake of food and expelling waste
- Distributes nutrients to cells of organism
Budding of a Hydra
- Serves as asexual reproduction
- Clone of a parent grows out of the body wall and breaks off when long enough
Planaria
- Gastrovascular cavity= darker than surroundings
- Diffuses gasses through the skin
- Open circulatory system
Cellular Respiration
- Fxn: Oxygen consumed to convert glucose into energy
- Gas exchange bcuz O2 needed to convert food into CO2 and ATP
Mass and Measures of metabolic rate
- Mass increase, Mass-specific metabolic rate deacreases (ppt CO2/g/min)
- **Cells need more energy in smaller
- Mass increase, average CO2 production rate increases
Respirometry
-Use of gas exchange to measure metabolic rates and energy consumption
Digestive System
- Ingestion (the act of eating or feeding)
- Digestion (food is broken down into molecules small enough for the body to absorb)
- Absorption
- Elimination (unprocessed materials pass through the digestive system and exit through the anus)
Respiratory system
- Responsible for taking in oxygen
- Expelling carbon dioxide
- Lungs carry out the exchange of gases as we breathe
Circulatory system
-To transport nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to cells throughout the body and removal of metabolic wastes
Osmoregulatory system
- kidneys are the main organ
- Function is to filter blood and maintain the dissolved ion concentrations of body fluids
Epidermis
- Hydra
- Outer layer of skin
Gastrodermis
- Hydra
- Inner layer
Tentacles
- Hydra
- Stining cells to capture prey
Base
- Hydra
- Non-tenticle end
Mouth
- Hydra
- Underneath tenacles
Pharynx
- Planaria
- Used for taking food in
- Expelling waste
Protonephridia
- Planaria
- network of dead-end tubules lacking internal opening
- osmoregulation
- excretion
