Set 12 Flashcards
placement of sense organs and a nerve center/brain in the anterior or “head” position (vs. a nerve nett
cephalization
Caphalization leads to the AP Axis which leads to
bilateral symmetry
what is also needed with directed forward movement
musculature and nerve coordination
mesoderm completely fills the embryonic blastocoel. NO coelom in an adult. Gut is the only internal cavity
Acoelomate
Mesoderm only lines the outer edge of the blastocoel so the blastocoel persist sin an adult as a pseudocoelom
pseudocoelomate
A body cavity forms within the mesoderm
Eucoelomate
spongy mesodermal tissue that fills the blastocoel, providing hydrostatic support
parenchyma
characteristics of phatyhelminthes
triploblastic, bilateral, coelomate, protostome, and lochotrochozoan
flame cells and tube cells that collect excess fluid and carry it to excretory pores in the outer epipdermis to exit for osmoregulation
protonephridia
Classes in platyheminthes
Turbellaria (planaria), trematoda (endoparasitic), cestoda (tapeworms)
