Unit 3 Flashcards
first known study of comparative anatomy was undertaken by _________
aristotle
some animals are born from eggs
oviparity
some live by birth
viviparity
some by producing an egg that hatches inside the body
ovoviviparity
two major cell division patterns by which embryos are formed
holoblastic and meroblastic pattern of cleavage
he concluded that all animals, even mammals, originate from eggs.
William Harvey
Ex ovo omnia means ___________
all from the egg
he published the first microscopic account of chick development
Marcello Malphigi
the egg or sperm contains an embryo
preformationism
a preformed miniature infant or ___________ that simply becomes larger during development
homunculus
a period of rapid cell division without growth
cleavage
cleavage partitions the cytoplasm of one large cell into many smaller cells called ____________
blastomeres
this is a ball of cells with a fluid-filled cavity
blastula
this is a fluid-filled cavity in blastula
blastocoel
the eggs and zygotes of many animals except _________ have a definite polarity
mammals
it is defined by the distribution of yolk with the vegetal pole having the most yolk and the animal pole having the least
polarity
the distribution of yolk with the most yolk
vegetal pole
the distribution yolk with the least yolk
animal pole
the cleavage furrow extends through entire egg
holoblastic cleavage
eggs undergoing partial cleavage, resulting in unequal blastomeres
Meroblastic cleavage
two types of meroblastic cleavage
Discoidal and superficial
this is limited to a small disc of cytoplasm at the animal pole
discoidal cleavage
this is limited to a thin surface area of cytoplasm that covers the entire egg
superficial cleavage
types of eggs under holoblastic cleavage
isolecithal, mesolecithal, telolecithal, centrolecithal
