Zoology lab 5 Flashcards
1
Q
The animals in this lab have what type of development?
A
deuterostome mode of development
2
Q
Which two phyla are studied in this lab?
A
Phylum echinodermata and chordata
3
Q
What kind of animals are in phylum echinodermata?
A
Sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and sea lilies
4
Q
Traits of echinodermata?
A
- Typically have an endoskeleton made of spiny calcareous plates that are embedded within a connective tissue
- all members have a unique water vascular system (which consists of central ring and series of canals)
5
Q
Describe water canal system
A
- Water enters through an opening called a madreporite
- The canals end in tiny tube feet that are enclosed within a groove running on the oral side of each arm
- These are connected to bulbs that can contract and force fluid in and out
6
Q
sea stars?
A
- central ring contains the stomach
- in the arms, the tube feet, digestive glands and possibly gonads will be present
- there is a nerve ring around the mouth and radial nerves run down the arms
- no circulatory system and its digestive system contains the cardiac stomach and pyloric stomach
7
Q
sea cucumber?
A
- tentacles at one end of the specimen
- these surrond the mouth
- pentaradial symmetry like sea stars
8
Q
key trait most chordates share?
A
- backbones!
- chordata has one subphyla of invertebrate animals along with one subphylum of vertebrates
9
Q
subphylum cephalochordata?
A
- lancelets!
- mouth is surronded by oral tentacles cuz lancelets are filter feeders
- water is taken in through mouth and then passes into a large pharnyx with slits
- these pharyngeal slits develop from pharyngeal pouches (one of 5 major traits)
- food and water then pass into intestine, then anus (post-anal tail–> another major trait)
- nerve cord and notochord (both also major traits!)
10
Q
Freshwater perch?
A
- belongs to clade osteichthyes in subpylum vertebrata in phylum chordata
- craniate, a lineage of the chordates that gave rise to vertebrates
- belongs to class actinpterygii (ray-finned fish)
*
11
Q
bony fishes?
A
- related to terrestrial vertebrates
- one lineage gave rise to tetrapods
12
Q
What do fish have to stabilize themselves?
A
- they have fins and a swim bladder to stabilize their bodies in the water
- the following fins are found in fish: dorsal, caudal, anal, pectoral and pelvic
- they have an anal opening and the urogenital opening in the anterior region
- they have lateral lines to sense vibrations
- they also have scales
13
Q
internal anatomy of a perch?
A
- a fish’s liver is located in the anterior portion near the opercula
- its stomach is located behind the liver
- it has an alimentary tract
- the fish also has a swim bladder, a large air-filled sac dorsal to the body cavity
- the ovaries/testes are located beneath the swim bladder
- it has a long dark kidney dorsal to the swim bladder
- and a 2 chamber heart!
- and gills made of smaller gill filaments!
14
Q
dissection of a rat?
A
- its ribs are attached to its sternum and enclose the thorax
- intercostal muscles will be visible b/w the ribs to provide the pumping force for lung action
- the trunk of the rat is divided into an anterior thorax and a posterior abdomen
15
Q
abdominal cavity of a rat?
A
- dark red lobes of the liver that almost cover the stomach can be observed
- small intestine is tightly coiled and held together by a thin sheet of connective tissue called messentary
- close to the stomach is the spleen, dark red + tongue-like
- kidney can be observed with a ureter from the kidney going posteriorly to the bladder
16
Q
thoracic cavity?
A
- diaphragm= cartilaginous flap projecting from posterior end of the sternum–> important role in the respiratory pump of rat
- lungs and ribs can be observed
- the trachea can also be noted by looking for the rings of cartilage that give it a striped appearence
- the division of lungs into lobes can be further divided into bronchii and bronchioles, finally becoming alveoli
- the rat’s heart can be observed! the smaller sacs are the atria while the larger portion consists of the ventricles
