Q

Cephalization

A

Evolutionary trend of the concentration of sense organs and nerve control that is towards the anterior end of the body (all senses developed in places where they can have close communication with our brain)

e.g. our eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue are all sensory organs that developed in the close regions to the brain

Towards the lower part or belly of the standing animals
26
What is an exception to symmetry?
Sponges are animals but lack symmetry all together
27
Characteristics of cephalization
Increased cephalization can be found in more complex animals while simpler animals will have decreased cephalization
28
What is the general embryonic development of animals?
1) Zygote 2)Cleavage (8 cell stage) 3) Blastula 4) Gastrulation (folding in beings)
29
Mesoderm
Is the development of a third embryonic germ layer that comes later in some animals
30
Cleavage
The fertilized zygote undergoes rapid mitotic divisions and creates the cleavage
31
Blastula
Spherical shape and has a hollow inside called the blastocoel
32
-coel
Meaning cavity/empty
33
Blastocoel
Hollow inside of the blastula
34
Gastrulation
Occurs when the blastocoel begins to start folding in on itself
35
Grastula
Once gastrulation is complete the entire structure of the cell body is called the gastrula
36
What are the layers of the Grastula?
1) Blastocoel 2)Endoderm 3) Ectoderm 4) Archenteron 5)Blastopore
37
Ectoderm
Most outer layer of a gastrula
38
Blastocoel of the Gastrula
The original empty hollow space that we have during the blastula phase
39
Endoderm
Inside fold on the gastrula
40
Archenteron
Is a second hollow space that forms as a result of the endoderm forming
41
Blastopore
Entrance to the archenteron
42
Embryonic germ layer
Any cell that is undifferentiated, in which other structures will eventually develop within the animals
43
What are the general tissue layers in an embryo?
- Ectoderm -Endoderm -Mesoderm
44
Ectoderm
Start of the tissue that lines the body surface
45
What are some examples of the ectoderm?
- Epidermis of skin and its derivatives (includes hair follicles, sweat glands) -Lining of the mouth and anus -Cornea and lens of eye -Tooth enamel -Sensory receptors in the skin -nervous system
46
Mesoderm
The source of muscles and provides structure and support ** only forms in triploblastic animals
47
What are some examples of mesoderm?
-Skeletal system -Muscular system -Adrenal cortex -reproductive system circulatory and lymphatic system -lining of body cavity
48
Endoderm
Develops int the inner gut lining and includes the liver and pancreas
49
What are some examples of the endoderm?
-Liver -Pancreas -Epithelial lining of digestive tract -Epithelial lining of the respiratory system -Thyroid and parathyroid glands
50
Diploblastic
Only contains the ectoderm and the endoderm and is the ancestral state
51
Triploblastic
Have the ectoderm, endoderm, and the mesoderm and is the derived state
52
Coelom
A fluid or air-filled space located between the digestive tract and the outer body wall
53
What is the function of the coelom?
Is to provide cushion in order to prevent injury to internal organs, it also enables organs to grow and move independently of the outer body wall.
54
What is an evolutionary characteristic of coelom?
The ancestral form are animals lacking coelom all together
55
Acoelomates
-Animals that lack a coelom which automatically limits their growth. -The outside of their bodies is continuous with all their internal structures - ancestral form
56
Coelomate animals
Animals that have a true coelom which forms from the mesoderm -this is the most derived state -all vertebrates are coelomate animals
57
Pseudocoelmates
Form both from the mesoderm and the endoderm (ancestral to coelomate characteristics). -Very rare in aniamls
58
Why must acoelomate remain small in body size?
***Because their organs are attached to their skin and if the skin grows then their internal organs would burst? (cant remember this one, double check answer!!)
59
Protostome Development
-Is the ancestral path -has spiral cleavage -In its earliest stage of development, the cells have already been designated for a specific function (determinant)
60
Deuterostome Development
-The derived path -Has radial cleavage -First developing cells are undergoing cleavage and these cells have yet to be given a function (these cells are known as stem cells)
61
What are the key comparisons of protostome and deuterostome development?
1) Cleavage 2)Determination of earliest cells 3)Coelom Formation 4) Fate of the blastopore
62
What is the fate of the blastopore?
In protostome development, the mouth develops from the blastopore. In deuterostome development, the anus develops from the blastopore.
63
Spiral Cleavage
Cells divide in a circular motion around the polar axis of the mass of dividing cells
64
Radial Cleavage
Cells divide towards the polar axis.
65
What do morphological and molecular data agree on?
1) all animals share a common ancestor- the protists colonial flagellate 2) Sponges are the most ancestral animals 3)Eumetazoa is a clade of animals with true tissue 4) Most animals demonstrate bilateral symmetry 5)Chordates and Echinoderms are deuterostomes
66
What are some examples of Molecular data?
Hox genes, nuclear genes, mitochondrial genes.
67
What are the two most ancient groups of animals?
The poriferans and the Cnidarians
68
What is the most ancestral animal domain?
The metazoa which includes the porifera (sponges)
