Chapter 14 Flashcards
(101 cards)
What is a true sucker called? Especially in flukes and leeches; the socket in the hip bone that receives the thigh bone.
acetabulum
What body plan is without a coelom, as in flatworms and proboscis worms?
acoelomate
Evolutionary diversification that produces numerous ecologically disparate lineages from a single ancestral one, especially when this diversification occurs within a short interval of geological time.
adaptive radiation
Having to do with nutrition or nourishment.
alimentary
The head end of an organism, or (as an adjective) toward that end.
anterior
One of the less muscular chambers of the heart; atrium; the external ear, or pinna; any earlike lobe or process
auricle
A blind pouch at the beginning of the large intestine; any similar pouch
cecum
the process by which specialization, particularly of the sensory organs and appendages, become localized in the head end of animals.
cephalization
tadpolelike larva of trematodes (flukes)
cercaria
a hairlike, vabratile organelle process found on many animal cells. cilia may be used moving particles along the cell surface or, in ciliate protozoans, for locomotion
cilium
a hairlike tuft on an insect appendage; locomortor organelle of fused cilia; male copulatory organ of some invertebrates
cirrus
internal cavity of a cnidarian; gastrovascular cavity; archenteron
coeloenteron
a protonephridial cell with a single flagellum enclosed in a cylinder of cytoplasmic rods
cyrtocyte
a type of juvenile tapeworm composed of a solid-bodied cyst containing a invaginated scolex; contrast with cysticercus
cysticercoid
a type of juvenile tapeworm in which an invaginated and introverted scolex is contain in a fluid-filled bladder; constrast with cysticercoid
cysticercus
the host in which sexual reproduction of symbiont takes place; if no sexual reproducation, then the host in which the symbiont becomes mature and reproduces; contrast intermediate host
definitive host
a type of cleavage, usually spiral, in which the fate of the blastomeres is determined very early in development; mosaic cleavage
determinate cleavage
toward the back, or upper surface, of an animal
dorsal
organs in the epidermid of most turbellarians, with three cell types; viscid and releasing gland cells and anchor cells.
dual-gland adhesive organ
yolk for nutrition of the embryo contributed by cells that are separate from the egg cell and are combined with the zygote by envelopment within the eggshell
ectolecithal
the outer, nonvascular layer of skin of ectodermal origin; in invertebrates, a single layer of ectodermal epithelium
epidermis
a fiberlike cell or strand of protoplasmic material produced or secreted by a cell and lying outside the cell
fiber
specialized hollow excretory or osmoregulatory structure of one or several small cells containing a tuft of flagella and situated at the end of a minute tubule; connected tubules ultimately open to the outside. see solenocyte, protonephridium
flame cell
A member of class Trematoda or class Monogenea. Also certain of the flatfishes (order Pleuronectiformes)
fluke
