Test 3 Flashcards
(161 cards)
collagen
extracellular structural protein
blastula
early embryonic stage (hallowed ball of cells)
gastrula
blastula folds inward
endoderm
the innermost of three embryonic cell layers in a gastrula; gives rise to the innermost linings of the digestive tract and other hollow organs in the adult.
ectoderm
the outer cell layer that gives rise tot he to the out covering in animals and in some phyla to the nervous system.
mesoderm
the third embryonic layer that forms the muscles and most internal organs.
homeotic genes
a master control gene that determines the identity if a body structure of a developing organism, presumably by controlling the developing fate of a group of cells.
metamorphosis
the transformation of a larva into an adult
larva
a free-living sexually immature form in some animal life cycles that may differ from the adult in morphology, nutrition, and habitat.
in order list the development of a sea star
sperm + egg, zygote, blastula, early gastrula, later gastrula (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm), larva, metamorphosis
protostomes
the first opening that forms during gastrulation becomes the mouth.
deuterostomes
this opening becomes the anus and the mouth forms from a second opening.
body captivity or coelom
a fluid-filled space between the digestive tract and outer body wall in which the internal organs are suspended.
eumetazoans
animals with tissue
bilateria
animals with bilateral symmetry
lophotrochozoan
the lineage of bilateria includes flatworms, molluscs, and annelids. (protostome)
ecdysozoans
include arthropods and nematodes. which have external skeletons that must shed for the animal to grow. (ecdysis) (protostome)
ecdysis
the shedding prosses (ecdysozoans)
deuterostomia
echinoderms and chordates. (deuterostome)
the nine major animal phyla
sponges, cnidarians, flatworms, mollusks, annelids, nematodes, arthropods, echinoderms, chordates.
sponges
- simplest
- no muscle or nerves
- two cell layers (choanocytes + amoebocytes)
- suspension feeders
- sessile
choanocytes
the inner layer of cells consists of flagellated “collar” cells, which help to sweep the water through the sponge’s body.
amoebocytes
wander through the middle body region, produces supportive skeletal fibers composed of a flexible protein called spongin and mineralized particles called spicules.
spicules
mineralized particles
