Term
spermatozoon
Definition
a motile male gamete of an animal usually with rounded or elongate head and a long posterior flagellum
Term
Sperm (Head)
Definition
Nucleus DNA and digestive enzymes to break down the outer layers of the ovum

Definition
break down of egg membrane
Term
Morula
Definition
The spherical embryonic mass of blastomeres formed before the blastula and resulting from cleavage of the fertilized ovum.
Term
Blastula
Definition
An early embryonic form produced by cleavage of a fertilized ovum and consisting of a spherical layer of cells surrounding a fluid-filled cavity.
Term
blastomeres
Definition
Any of the cells resulting from the cleavage of a fertilized ovum during early embryonic development
Term
cleavage
Definition
the series of mitotic cell divisions that produces a blastula from a fertilized ovum. It is the basis of the multicellularity of complex organisms. Also called segmentation.
Term
Blastopore
Definition
the initial opening of the archenteron
Term
gastrula
Definition
An embryo at the stage following the blastula, consisting of a hollow, two-layered sac of ectoderm and endoderm surrounding an archenteron that communicates with the exterior through the blastopore.
Term
Gut
Definition
The embryonic digestive tube
Term
Radial cleavage
Definition
Aligned, having deuterostones
Term
Spiral Cleavage
Definition
Divides at 90 deg off set.
Term
Acoelomate
Definition
without Coelom
Term
pseudocoelom
Definition
having a cavity but it is not completely lined.
Term
Eucoelomate
Definition
having a cavity that is completely lined

triploblastic
Definition
comprised of three distinct tissue layers.
Term
Diploblastic
Definition
comprised of two distinct tissue layers.
Term
Ectoderm
Definition
tissue that gives rise to the hair, skin, nails and nervous tissue
Term
mesoderm
Definition
leads to muscle bone and connective tissue
Term
endoderm
Definition
will become the living gut and digestive cavity
Term
deuterostomate
Definition
the blastophore is the initial opening. The second opening is the anus
