Week 4 Flashcards
radial symmetry
animals that have an axis that runs from mouth to base, with many planes of symmetry around the central axis
allows them to move up and down in water column and sweep food from many directions at once
cnidarians
bilateral symmetry
bodies have distinct head and tail and single plane of symmetry running between them at midline
horizontal movement and developed specialised sensory organs
organ systems
insects
simplest animals
cnidarians
sponges
ctenophores
placozoans
sponges
multicellular
interior surface lined by cells called choanocytes
intracellular digestion
spicules for skeleton
mesophyl between interior and exterior cell layers: nutrients and amoeba like cells for skeleton formation
cnidarians
life cycle alternates between sea anemone and jellyfish
predators- catch prey with tentacles and digest it in the gastric cavity
reproduce asexually
diploblastic
gastric cavity digests and excretes
ctenophores
resemble cnidarians in body plan radial symmetry predators- ingestion propel by cilia rudimentary gonads
bilateral animals
lophotrochozoans
ecdysozoans
deuterostomes
chordates
lophotrochozoans
spiral cleavage early in development annelids worms and mollusks predators or ingest sediments mollusks gastropods, cephalopods, bivalves
ecdysozoans 8 phyla
nematodes arthropoda chelicerates myriapods crustacenas insects
deuterostomes 3 phyla
hemichordata
echinodermata
chordata
hemichordata
wormlike
move through sea floor and collect food particles
echinoderms
skeletons made of porous calcite
tube feet
chordates
vertebates
pharynx with pharyngeal slits
body musculated arranges in segments called myotomes
cephalochordates and tunicates
notochord: stiff rod of collagen that runs along back
3 subphyla of chordates
cephalochordates
tunicates
vertebrates AKA craniates
fish
earliest branching vertebrates
earliest branching craniates are hagfish and lampreys
lampreys
vertebrae of cartilage
lack jaw
