Zoology Unit 6 Flashcards
What is the endoskeleton of an echinoderm made of?
ossicles, calcium carbonate
coverings of cartilaginous fish vs bony fish
cartilaginous fish have denticles, bony have scales
Osmoregulation vs thermoregulation
osmoregulation is balancing water and salt. thermoregulation is balancing body heat
What are the three fish groups?
jawless, cartilaginous, bony
Types of jawless fish
lamprey
Types of cartilaginous fish
sharks, rays
Types of bony fish
carp, eels, salmon
What are the functions of fish fins
movement, balance
How do sea stars eat?
evert stomach, digestive fluids
fish evolution
symmetry of echinoderm larvae and adult echinoderms
larvae have bilateral, adult have pentaradial
What is the purpose of the lateral line in fishes
sensing position in the environment, spatial awareness
Freshwater vs saltwater: drinking water
freshwater fish don’t drink, saltwater fish drink
Freshwater vs saltwater: interact with salt
saltwater excrete salt and have lower inner salinity. freshwater take up salt and have higher inner salinity
freshwater vs saltwater: concentration of nitrogen waste
saltwater is concentrated to get rid of salt. freshwater isn’t concentrated to keep salt
where are echinoderms found?
aquatic/marine
four characteristics shared by chordates
notochord, dorsal nerve chord, pharyngeal pouches, post anal tail, endostyle
senses of bony fishes
ears for hearing and motion, eyes for vision
major echinoderm groups
crinoidea, ophiuroidea, holothuroidea, asteroidea, echinoidea
crinoidea characteristics
calyx, stalked crinoid
ophiuroidea characteristics
slender arms
holothuroidea characteristics
Cuvierian tubules
asteroidea characteristics
5 arms
echinoidea characteristics
noticeable spikes, round
what can be inferred from the body shape of a fish
environment
how many chambers do fish hearts have
4
etymology for deuterostome
second mouth
etymology for echinodermata
spiny skin
etymology for chordata
chord
endothermy vs exothermy
endothermy: maintain body temp
exothermy: body temp depends on environment
functions of echinoderm water vascular system
movement, food and waste transportation, respiration
protostome vs deuterostomes
protostomes: mouth forms first, coelom starts lower
deuterostomes: anus forms first, coelom starts higher
three chordate subphyla
vertebrata, urochordata, cephalochordata
vertebrata echinoderms
sea urchins, sea cucumbers, sand dollars
urochordata echinoderms
tunicate
cephalochordata echinoderms
lancelet
asteroidea organism
sea stars
holothuroidea organism
sea cucumber
echinoidea organism
sea urching, sand dollar
ophiuroidea organism
brittle stars
crinoidea organism
sea lilies
