Q

characteristics of flatworms

A

simplest bilaterians, acoelomate - no body cavity, mouth is only opening for its gastrovascular cavity; simple nervous system - a brain, sense organs, and branching nerves; eyespots

Q

example of parasitic flatworm

A

flukes and tapeworm - intermediary stages in life cycle, scolex - head, proglottids

20
Q

mollusk body plan

A

descent with modification of foot, mantle and viscera

21
Q

annelids

A

segmented worms

22
Q

3 types of mollusks

A

gastropods - stomach foots, cephalopods - head foot, bivalves - 2 shells

23
Q

characteristics of gastropods

A

largest group of mollusks; examples - snails and slugs; one shell, a foot, and a tongue (radula)

24
Q

characteristics of cephalopods

A

agile predators, vertebrate-like eyes, tentacles, siphon; ex: octopus and squid; largest invertebrates

25
Q

characteristics of bivalves

A

two shells, examples- clams, mussels, oysters, and scallops - siphon

26
Q

cephalization

A

concentration of sensory organs and nervous tissues in an anterior head; evolutionary favored because anterior end typically encounters new environments first

27
Q

acoelomate

A

no body cavity; space filled with mesenchyme; typically move by beating cilia; Ex: flatworm

28
Q

pseudocoelomate

A

has body cavity in which internal organs are suspended; enclosed by muscles only on its outside; no inner layer of mesoderm surrounding internal organs; Ex: roundworm

29
Q

coelomate

A

body cavity that develops within the, therefore surrounded by, mesoderm; lined with muscular tissue called peritoneum; has more refined control over movement of fluids in its body cavity; Ex: earthworm

30
Q

segmentation

A

improves control of movement; facilitates specialization of different body regions; allows an animal to alter the shape of its body in complex ways - muscles in each individual segment can change the shape of the segment independently of the others

31
Q

two branches deuterostomes split into

A

echinoderms and vertebrates

32
Q

two branches vertebrates split into

A

lampreys and gnathostomes

33
Q

2 branches gnathostomes split into

A

chondrichthyes and bony vertebrates

34
Q

2 branches bony vertebrates split into

A

ray finned fishes and fleshy finned fishes (sarcopterygians)

35
Q

2 branches sarcopterygians split into

A

coelecanths and UT (those with internal nostrils)

36
Q

2 branches UT (internal nostrils) split into

A

lungfishes and tetrapoda

37
Q

sarcopterygians

A

coelecanths, lungfishes and tetrapoda

38
Q

2 branches tetrapods split into

A

amniotes and amphibians

39
Q

2 branches amniotes split into

A

40
Q

3 branches of mammals

A

prototherians (monotremes), eutherians (placental mammals), and marsupials

41
Q

3 branches of reptiles

A

example of ray-finned fish

A

salmon

47
Q

major groups of eutherians

A

rodents (rodentia), bats (chiroptera), cetaceans, and primates
