Chapter 32 (animals part 2) Flashcards
(99 cards)
This phylum is marine animals with pentaradial symmetry.
Echinodermata
What is the symmetry of echinoderm larvae?
Bilateral
Echinoderm skeleton
a CaCO3 endoskeleton covered by thin skin. pedicellariae: modified pincer-like spines.
Echinoderm water vascular system:
a network of fluid-filled canals that branch into tube feet. functions in Locomotion (a hydrostatic skeleton) feeding and gas exchange.
Echinoderm tube feet function
part of the vascular system. They extend when filled with water, operated by ampulla: bulb that squeezes to force water into tube foot.
This phylum has no excretory organ, uses their tube feet or dermal gills for gas exchange, and has a complex digestive tract. They lack a brain but have a nerve ring and nerves extending into each of five arms.
Echinoderms
This echinoderm group attaches to substrates by stalk, or use their arms to crawl. They suspension feed with their arms.
Crinoids; sea lilies and feather stars
This group of echinoderms uses suctioned tube feet to attach to a substrate or grip their prey. They evert their stomach to feed, and have the ability to regenerate. Their body plan is a central disc with radiating arms.
Asteroids; sea stars
This group of echinoderms has a distinct central disc with long flexible arms. Their tube feet lack suckers.
Ophiuroids: basket stars and brittle stars
This group of echinoderms lack arms but have five rows of tube feet for movement. They have a complex jaw apparatus and a spherical or flattened test covered with spines.
Echinoids: sea urchins and sand dollars.
These echinoderms have an elongated sac-like muscular body. They lack spines and their endoskeleton is reduced. They have five rows of tube feet that a modified around the mouth to be feeding tentacles. They have the ability to eviscerate their internal organs when environmental conditions are poor.
Holothuroids: sea cucumbers.
This phylum has a closed circulatory system. They are segmented, usually have endoskeleton and ventral heart. There are three subphyla.
Chordata
There are three subphyla in the phylum Chordata: ____, ____, and ____
Urochordata: tunicates, Cephalochordata: lancelets, Vertebrata
There are four chordate synapomorphies:
Notochord, dorsal tubular nerve cord, endostyle, and muscular post anal tail.
a dorsal, flexible support rod in chordates composed of cartilage, that is typically replaced by the jointed skeleton.
the Notochord
this develops into the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) in chordates.
the Dorsal, tubular nerve chord
this groove in the pharynx of chordates secretes mucus to trap food particles and becomes the thyroid in most chordates.
the Endostyle
These structures are perforations or grooves in the pharynx, which are present in chordates as well a hemichordate and echinoderm ancestors. They allow suspension feeding in some invertebrate chordates, they form gill slits in aquatic vertebrates, and they form jaw structures in terrestrial vertebrates.
Pharyngeal slits/ pouches.
This group of chordates is marine invertebrates called tunicates and salps. Their body is covered by a tunic. They are suspension feeders and retain food particles on the mucous net. They display chordate synapomorphies as larvae.
Urochordates
When Urochordata larvae settle, they
undergo metamorphosis to lose their tail, notochord, and most of their nervous system.
These chordates are marine invertebrates called lancelets or amphioxus. They display synapomorphies as larvae and adults. As adults, they burrow. Their anterior end is exposed to suspension feed. They swim fish-like. They lack fins, jaws, heart, brain, and sense organs.
Cephalochordates
These chordates have a vertebral column made of cartilage or bony segments. Their brain is encased in cartilage or bony cranium. Vertebral column and cranium form part of endoskeleton. There is pronounced cephalization and well-developed sense organs, two pairs of appendages, a closed circulatory system, complete digestive tract, kidneys for excretion, and are typically diecious.
Vertebrates
How many pairs of cranial nerves extend into the body in vertebrates?
10-12 pairs
What does the circulatory system of vertebrates feature?
a ventral heart and hemoglobin
