Cards

Term
Multicelluar
Definition
Anything that isn't a protist, more or less.
Term
Radial Cleavage
Definition
embryo grows through 90 degree angles, stacked like blocks
Term
Spiral Cleavage
Definition
Embryo grows cells closely compact and at diagonal angles.
Term
Germ Layers
Definition
Mesoderm, Ectoderm, Endoderm (three layers of tissue)
Term
Blastopore
Definition
creates either the mouth or anus first in the embryo
Term
Deuterostome
Definition
Blastopore forms anus before mouth
Term
Protostome
Definition
blastospore forms mouth before anuse
Term
Mesoderm
Definition
tissue forms between endoderm and ectoderm
Term
schizocoely
Definition
(Protostomes) coelom forms when mesoderm SPLITS
Term
entercoely
Definition
(dueterostomes)coelom forms from bits pinched off the digestive track (in embryo)
Term
Eucoelomate
Definition
Mesoderm forms around body cavity. When cut, the guts do not spill out.
Term
Acoelomate
Definition
Mesoderm fills in the body cavity or "coelom" between the ectoderm and endoderm.
Term
Pseudocoelomate
Definition
mesoderm is between the coelom or body cavity and the endoderm, when cut the guts spill out.
Term
Radial symmetry
Definition
can be cut into sections like a pie, like jelly fish, sea urchins, and other things.
Term
Bilateral symmetry
Definition
can be sectioned by right angles, each side is symmetrical (people, not jellyfish)
Term
incomplete digestive tract
Definition
Mouth intakes food and ejects it. no tract running from mouth to anus
Term
complete digestive tract
Definition
tract runs from mouth and exits through anus
Term
circulatory system
Definition
vessels and tissues specialization in carrying nutrition throughout the body (blood)
Term
Mantle
Definition
produces a buildup that creates a shell (molluscs)
Term
ecdysis
Definition
shedding old exterior (skin on snake)
Term
nematocysts
Definition
stinging cells on jellyfish
Term
segmentation
Definition
body broken down into clear parts (vertebrae in spine, lobster segments)
Term
exoskeleton
Definition
chitonous external skeleton (lobsters, bugs)
Term
notochord
Definition
(mesoderm) turns into spine
Term
dorsal hollow nerve chord
Definition
hollow modified into the central nervous system (ectoderm)
Term
gills and gill slits
Definition
water flows through mouth out gills, blood is oxygenated from oxygen in water
Term
metanephric kidneys
Definition
compact organs found in all adult amniotes- concentrates urine to conserve water.
Term
Kidneys
Definition
filters waste out of blood
Term
lungs
Definition
process oxygen out of air
Term
endochondral
Definition
cartilage ossifies into bone
Term
dermal bone
Definition
bone forms in dermis, not created by cartilage ossifying, found in turtles tortoises and fish fin
Term
chondrocranium
Definition
cartilage encases brain in fetus, eventually ossifies into bone
Term
Splanchnocranium
Definition
portion of the skull comes from three branchial arcs, forms supporting structure of jaws.
Term
dermatocranium
Definition
roof of skull/plates on skull/armor on sea turtles
Term
Chordata
Definition
phylum of deuterostomes,have four characteristics that set them apart from other phylums
Term
Vertebrata
Definition
subphylum of chordata, includes all chordates with vertebrae/spine
Term
Three major mammal groups
Definition
monotremes (egg-laying mammals)
marsupials (pouch)
placental mammals (humans)
Term
Amniote egg
Definition
egg found in terrestrial animals, secretes sac around egg to prevent it from drying.
Term
Pharyngeal slits
Definition
slits in all non-vertebrate chordates, function is to filter water
Term
post-anal tail
Definition
tail that forms after your bum.
Term
Name 4 characteristics of Chordates
Definition
Post-natal tail-
Notochord- mesoderm
Hollow dorsal nerve chord- ectoderm
pharyngeal slits-
Term
Chorion

Term
Amnion
Definition
Term
Yolk sac
Definition
Term
Allantois
Definition
Term
heterodonte
Definition
different teeth for different functions
Term
homodonte
Definition
same teeth for same function (in one mouth)
Term
PO
