6
Q

-thick fur/feathers and fat
-creates in insulating layer of air next to their skin
-vasorestriction forces blood to the core of the body so heat is not lost through the skin
-shivering is a last resort
-ectotherms seek warmer areas

Q

-transports nutrients and gases throughout the body
- the heart is the “motor” of the circulatory system, creating the circulation of blood through blood vessels

17
Q

-this system absorbs oxygen and remove carbon dioxide
-oxygen is absorbed and transported to cells throughout the body
-Works closely with the circulatory system

A

Respiratory system

18
Q

-Eliminates waste from the body, regulates blood volume and blood pressure, control levels of electrolytes and metabolic waste, and regulates blood pH
-Kidneys, bladder, urethra

A

Urinary system

19
Q

-Coordinates its actions and sensory information by transmitting signals to and from different parts of its body
-Processes sensory information from both outside and inside the body
-brain, nerves

A

Nervous system

20
Q

-Is considered part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. A sensory system consists of sensory neurons, neural pathways, and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception and interception
-sight, sound, smell, taste, touch

A

Sensory system

21
Q

Fish

A

Poikilothermic ectotherm

22
Q

Rabbit

A

Homeothermic endotherm

23
Q

Alligator

A

Homeothermic ectotherm

24
Q

Bat

A

Poikilothermic endothermic

25
Q

Compared to a smaller cell, a larger cell…

A

has more surface area per volume.

26
Q

What describes negative feedback?

A

A process that reverses current body physiological conditions.

27
Q

Homeobox (Hox) Genes in Animals

A
  • determine animal body plan
    -“master control genes”
    -homologous in all animals (except Ctenophora & Porifera)
28
Q

Hox genes have undergone…

A

2-4 duplication events, the aditional genes allow for more and more complex body types

29
Q

Which two species do not have Hox genes?

A

Ctenophora and Porifera

30
Q

-two germ layers
-ectoderm
-endoderm
-Asymmetrical and radial symmetrical animals

A

Diploblastic

31
Q

-Three germ layers
-ectoderm
-endoderm
-mesoderm
-Bilaterally symmetrical animals

A

Triploblastic

32
Q

What is a coelom?

A

An internal body cavity derived from mesoderm tissue
-provides cushioning to internal organs
-allows for body flexibility

33
Q

Triploblasts that do NOT have a coelom are called
-their mesoderm region is completely filled with tissue

A

acoelomates
-ex. platyhelminthes(flatworms)

34
Q

Triploblasts that have a coelom that is completely surrounded by mesoderm tissue are called

A

eucoelomates
-ex. echinoderms (starfish) and chordates (animals with a backbone)

35
Q

Triploblasts that have a coelom that is lined partly with mesoderm and partly with endoderm are called

A

pseudocoelomates
-ex. nematoda (roundworms)

36
Q

The blastopore becomes the mouth
-this is more primitive
-arthropods, mollusks, annelids

A

Protostomes
-Platyhelminthes is a protosome but only has one opening

37
Q

The blastopore becomes the anus
-this is a novel, autapomorphic trait
-chordates and even echinoderms

A

Deuterostomes

38
Q

-Aquatic, sessile, filter feeders

A

asymmetrical body plan

39
Q

-Aquatic but often motile, and filter feeders or actively search for food
-able to receive environmental information from all directions
-no cephalization

40
Q

-all vertabrates
-have cephalization (forward/backward)
-motile and active search for food
-has an anterior, posterior, dorsal, and ventral side

A

bilateral body plan
