Lesson 4 - Early Craniate Morphogenesis Flashcards
(161 cards)
bilaterally symmetrical chordates with indeterminate cleavage with mouth not arising from blastopore
deuterostomes
closes relatives of chordates
- Hemichordates
- Echinoderms
- believed to be closer relatives of chordates but still being debated on
- believed to have branched off
Cephalochordates or Tunicates
show resemblance to each other in neuroanatomy and biochemistry
- cephalochordates
- vertebrates
Egg types: amount of yolk
- microlecithal
- mesolecithal
- macrolecithal
- very little yolk
- amphioxus, therian mammals
microlecithal
microlecithal example
- amphioxus
- therian mammals
- moderate amount of yolk
- amphibians
mesolecithal
mesolecithal example
amphibians
- large amount of yolk
- reptiles, monotremes
macrolecithal
macrolecithal example
- reptiles
- monotremes
Egg types: yolk distribution
- isolecithal
- telolecithal
- yolk is evenly distributed in the cytoplasm
- seen in microlecithal egg
isolecithal
where is isolecithal seen
microlecithal egg
- yolk is concentrated in one pole (vegetal pole)
- seen in mesolecithal and macrolecithal eggs
- opposite pole contains the nucleus and relatively yolk free cytoplasm
telolecithal
where is telolecithal seen
- mesolecithal
- macrolecithal eggs
two pole in telolecithal
- vegetal pole
- animal pole
where yolk is concentrated
vegetal pole
opposite pole containing the nucleus and relatively yolk free cytoplasm
animal pole
Ways offsprings are produced by interal fertilization
- oviparity
- viviparity
- animals that lay eggs (spawn)
- eggs contain sufficient amount of yolk and albumen to support the development into a free-living organism that is able to take food orally
oviparous
fully formed when hatched
(birds)
oviparous macrolecithal
example of fully formed when hatched
birds
young hatch in larval stage
(frog)
oviparous mesolecithal
