Types of symmetry
Radial
Biradial
Bilateral
Radial Symmetry
- body can be divided like a pie and make equal slices
- can be divided in half many times and one side always looks like the other
- usually sessile, floating, or weak swimming
Biradial Symmetry
Certain few parts make it so only 2 planes of division result in similar halves (otherwise body is radial)
-usually sessile, floating, or weak swimming
Bilateral Symmetry
body can be divided in half to make 2 halves
- animals with more movement
- associated with cephalization
Cranial
Anterior or head region
Caudal
Posterior or tail end
Medial
relative, towards the midline of the body
ex: sternum, heart
Lateral
relative, towards the side of the body
Distal
relative, something farther from center of body
Proximal
relative, something closer to center of body
peritoneal lining
tissues connected to gut cacvity
What organisms have peritoneal lining and which don’t?
psuedocoelomates don’t
eucoelomates do
Schizocoelomates
coelom forms from splitting of mesoderm bands in development
annelids, arthropods, molluscs
Enterocoelomates
coelom forms from mesodermal pouches of early gut
echnidoderms, chordates
Sponge Anatomy
- body is series of canals and pores
- radial or asymmetric
- water movement is created by choanocytes
Choanocytes
Cells that create water movement
Have flagellum surrounded by collar
Maintain water flow and trap food particles
Ostia
smaller incurrent pores
Osculum
Larger outcurrent pores
Asconoid
one main chamber
Suconoid
Choanocytes in multiple side chambers
Leucanoid
lots of small chambers
Mesohyl
Gelatinous matrix the mass of cells are embedded in
Structural support or sponges
Spicules-calcium carbonate or silica (pointy)
Spongen- collagen protein (web-like)
What makes a sponge more flexible
fewer spicules and more spongen
