Unit 3 class notes Flashcards
Metazoa definition
all animals collectively
Animal characteristics
eukaryotic
multicellular
heterotrophic
most are mobile
no cell walls
most reproduce sexually
Chanophlagellets
closest relative to animals, protists, unicellular or colonial species
Porifera animal
sponges, basal clade of animals
Porifera characteristics
-most primative
-no true tissues or organs
-no symmetry
-sexual or asexual reproduction
-mobile in larval form
-sessile (attached) in adult form
Parazoa
contains porifera, simplest group of metazoa
eumetazoa
all animals that arent sponges
characteristics of eumetazoa
- true tissues
- symmetry
Which groups have radial symmetry
cnidarians and ctenophores
which groups are diploblastic
cnidarians and ctenophores
cnidarian animals
jellyfish, corals, hydrozoans, sea anemones
which animals are ctenophores
comb jellies
Diploblastic definition
two tissue layers
- endoderm: gut lining
- ectoderm: outer covering
Medusa body form
mobile, usually mouth down, in cnidarian
Polyp body form
sessile, usually mouth up, in cnidarian
cnidarian feeding
extracellular digestion, release enzymes to digest prey in gastrovascular cavity, absorb nutrients
nematocytes
stinging cells in cnidarians on tenticles (shoot harpone out of)
Chanocytes
flagellated cells that move water in sponges
osculum
large opening in sponge through which water is expelled
amebocytes
a mobile cell in invertebrates that clean up waste and distribute food
ostia
pores in sponges that water moves through
Classes of arthropoda
chelicerata, crustacea, hexapoda, myriapoda
Characteristics of arthropoda
segmented, exoskelton, jointed appendages
segmentation in arthropoda
may have tagmata: head, thorax, abdomen
exoskeleton in arthropoda
made of chitin and protein, shed through ecdysis
Which animals are chelicerata
spiders, ticks, scorpions, mites, horseshoe crab
chelicerata characteristics
-body in 2 tagmata
-6 pairs of appendages (chelicerae, 4 pairs of walking legs)
Opisthosoma
rear end in arthropod, specifically chelicerae, often unsegmented and contains reproductive organs
Pedipalps
pair of appendages for sensing, feeding, mating, located in front of the first pair of legs
crustacea animals
crabs, lobsters, crayfish, pill bugs
crustacea characteristics
- 3 tagmata, often cephalothorax
- 2 pairs of antennae, 3 pairs chewing appendages, lots of legs
- gas exchange through gills or across cuticle
- nauplius larvae
hexapoda animals
insects
hexapoda characteristics
- 6 jointed legs
- three body tagmata
- antennae
- exoskeleton
myriapoda animals
centipedes and millipedes
centipedes characteristics
two legs per segment, carnivorous
millipede characteristics
4 legs per segment, herbivores
ecdysozoans
contains arthropods and nematodes, molting skin
Which phylum are deuterostomes
echinodermata and chordata
deuterostomes characteristics
-coelomates
-anus develops first
coelom definition
fluid filled body cavity (gas in vertebrates)
Echinodermata animals
sea stars, urchins, sand dollars, sea cucumbers
Echinodermata characteristics
-endoskeleton of calcium carbonate ossicles
-marine
-bilateral symmetry in larvae
-tube feet
-water vascular system
water vascular system
hydraulic system for movement and other functions in Echinodermata
chordata animals
urchordata, cephalochordata, vertebrate
chordata characteristics
-hollow dorsal nerve cord
-notochord
-pharyngeal slits
-postanal tail
chordate subphyla
urochordate, cephalochordate, vertebrate
urochordate animals
sea squirts, tunicate
urochordate characteristics
have all 4 features as larvae, pharyngeal slits as adults
cephalochordate animals
lancelets
cephalochordate/lancelets characteristics
embed in sediment, filter feeders
vertebrate characteristics
-vertebral column (replaces notochord, encloses dorsal nerve cord)
-endoskeleton
-head/skull
what were the earliest vertebrates
fish
fish characteristics
-vertebral column
-jaws and paired appendages
-internal gills
-single loop blood circulation
-nutritional deficiencies
which fish lack jaws
hagfish and lampreys
how did jaws evolve
from anterior gill arches
Chondrichthyes animals
sharks, rays, skates
lateral line system
line of mechanosensory receptors, in sharks and bony fishes
what are the groups of bony fish
ray finned fish and lobe finned fish
what are the lobe finned fish
2 species of coelacanth, lungfishes
swim bladder
regulate buoyancy by secreting gasses, in bony fish
operculum
covers gills, helps to control water movement even when fish is stationary
tetrapod characteristics
4 limbs
