Chapter 32 Flashcards
Tissues
Groups of similar cells that act as a functional unit
Cleavage
A succession of mitotic cell divisions without cell growth between the divisions
Blastula
A multicellular stage which in many animals takes the form of a hollow ball
Gastrulation
The layers of embryonic tissues that will develop into adult body parts are produced
Gastrula
The resulting developmental stage
Larva
Sexually immature form of an animal that is morphologically distinct from the adult usually eat different food and may even have a different habitat then the adult
Ediacaran biota
Members of an early group of soft bodied multicellular eukaryotes
Bilaterians
clade whose members hav a two-sided or bilaterally symmetric form and a complete digestive tract
Amphibians
Frogs and salamanders
Amniotes
Reptiles birds and mammals
Mesozoic era
251-65.6 mya
Paleozoic era
542-251 mya
Cenozoic era
65.5 mya -present
Body plan
A particular set of morphological and developmental traits integrated into a functional whole, The living animal
Evo devo
The interface between evolution and development
Radial symmetry
Does not have a left side and the right side it is equal all around
Bilateral symmetry
Such as a lobster has a left side and the right side
Ectoderm
The germ layer covering the surface of the embryo gives rise to the outer covering of the animal
Endoderm
The innermost germ later Lines the pouch that forms during gastrulation
Diploblastic
Only have ectoderm and endoderm germ layers
Mesoderm
Fills much of the space between the ectoderm in the endoderm. All bilaterally symmetrical animals have a third germ layer
Triploblastic
Having three germ layers. Animals with bilateral symmetry have this.
Body cavity or coelom
A fluid or air filled space located between the digestive tract and the outer body will all
Coelomates
Animals with a true coelom
