JELLYFISH AND HYDRA

Cnidaria

FLATWORMS AND TAPEWORMS

Platyhelminthes

roundworms

Nematoda

Clams, Snails, Slugs, and Squid

Mollusca

segmented earthworms

Annelida

crustaceans, insects and spiders

Arthropoda

sea stars and se urchins

Echinodermata

vertebrates

Chordata

having no particular symmetry (e.g. sponges)

Asymmetrical

an animal body structure in which any section through the mouth and down the body length divides the body into identical halves. The body has only 2 identifiable surfaces (oral and aboral). e.g. Jellyfish

Radial Symmetry

an animal with a head and a rear, and with the body organs arranged so that a section through the midline from dorsal to ventral surfaces would divide the organism into almost identical right and left halves. an animal with this symmetry has 4 identifiable surfaces: anterior, posterior, dorsal and ventral

Bilateral symmetry

Some animals have only 2 germ layers

Diploblastic

All bilateral symmetrical animals develop 3 germ layers

Triploblastic

-covers the surface of the embryo


-forms the outer covering of the animal and the central nervous system in some phyla

Ectoderm

-innermost germ layer which lines the archenteron (primitive gut)


-forms the lining of the digestive tract and outpocketings give rise to the liver and lungs of vertebrates

Endoderm

-located between the ectoderm and the endoderm in triploblastic animals


-forms the muscles and the connective tissues (including the skeletal and circulatory systems) and most organs located between the digestive tract and outer covering of the animal

Mesoderm

No body cavity is present between the digestive tract and the outer body wall. (e.g. Phylum Platyhelminthes)

Acelomate

A fluid-filled body cavity separates the digestive tract and the outer body wall. This cavity is not completely lined with mesoderm. (e.g. Phylum Nematoda)

Pseudocoelomate

a fluid-filled body cavity completely lines with mesoderm. It separates the digestive tract from the outer body wall. Mesenteries connect the inner and outer mesoderm layers and suspend the internal organs in the ___________

Coelomate

a group of cells that have a common structure and share a common function

Tissues

Covers the outside of the body and lines organs and cavities within the body.

Epithelial Tissues

the main function of the connective tissue is to bins and support other tissue

Connective Tissue

binds epithelia to underlying tissues and functions as packing material which holds organs into place

Loose connective tissue

specialized form of loose connective tissue that stores fat. _________ tissue pads and insulates the body and store the fat as fuel.

Adipose Tissues

dense collagen fibers that produce strong inelastic fibers. Tendons (attach muscles to the bone) and ligaments (attach bones together)

Fibrous Connective tissues

made up of an abundance of collagen fibers embedded in a rubbery matrix made up of a substance called chondroitin

Cartilage

bone forming cells deposit a matrix of collagen and calcium, magnesium and phosphate which chemically combine to harden into bone

Bone

Functions differently the other connective tissues. it does meet the criterion of having a loose extracellular matric. in this case the plasma that surround the blood cells.

Blood

senses stimuli and transmits signals from one part of the animal to another. The neuron is the basic structure.

Nervous Tissue

composed of long fibers that are able to contract when stimulated by impulses from neurons. the fibers are made up of microfilaments containing the protein actin and myosin

Muscle Tissue

responsible for voluntary movements of the body

Skeletal muscle

makes up the contractile component of the heart. it is striated like skeletal muscle but cardiac muscle cells are branched and the ends of the cells are joined by the intercalated discs, which relay signals from cell to cell during a heart beat.

Cardiac Muscle

is found in the walls of the digestive track, bladder, arteries and other internal organs. Smooth muscles are responsible for involuntary muscle contraction.

Smooth Muscle

Comprised of different tissues

Organs

consists of several organs that together carry out the major body functions of most animals.

Organ systems

detects a change in a variable of the animals internal enviroment

receptor

processes the information it receives from the receptor and direct and appropriate response

control center

will reverse the variable detected at the receptor

Effector

a change in the variable being monitored triggers the control mechanism to counteract further change in the same direction

Negative Feedback

a layer of cells important in feeding and digestion

Gastrodermis

eyes, chemoreceptors, bioluminescence organs

Sensory Cells

Derived from ectoderm. it is different than true muscle tissue.

muscle cells

the alternate contraction and relaxation of circular and longitudinal muscle producing waves that pass along the intestine, moving the tube contents in one direction.

Peristalsis

involves mitosis only with little to no genetic variation. The disadvantage is that if the environment changes, the reduced genetic variation puts the asexual population at risk.

Asexual Reprodution

is more widespread because of the genetic variation produced by the process. The variation ensures that some individuals will survive, even if many die.

Sexual Reproduction
