Definition

Arranged around a central point and can be divided along planes.

Example starfish

Term

Superficial

(can either be internal or external)

Definition

External superficial: only on the outside.

Example: Starfish

Internal superficial: Only inside

Example: Human (diaphragm)

Superficial and Internal: internal and out

Term
Homonomous
Definition

Segments are the same

Example: Earthworm

Term
Hetronomous
Definition

segments that are different

Example: Crayfish

Term
Germ layer- Tissue layer
Definition

Ectoderm: Outside, gives rise to skin and nervous system

Endoderm: inside, forms lining of the gut and digestive organs

Mesoderm: Middle, it becomes the musscles, skeleton, connective tissue and circulatory structures

Term
Diploblastic
Definition

2 germ layers

Ecto and endo derm

Term
Triploblastic
Definition

3 germ layers

Ecto, endo and mesoderm

Term

Coelom

(body cavity in addtion to digestive cavity)

Definition
  • Acoelomates: no body cavity
  • Pseudocoelomates: false body cavity located between endo and mesoderm. they lack epithelial lining ( no peritoneum
  • hemocoel filled with blood
  •  Coelomates: true body cavity, located with in mesoderm
  • lined with epithelial tissue (peritoneum)
  • internal organs suspended by double layers of mesoderm known as mesentery, fluid filled
Term

coelomates embryonic dev't

(Protostome)

Definition
  • Protostome- first mouth, primitive
  • Blastopore- openning in the gastrula stage of an embroyo
  • mouth dev't near blastphore
  • coelom forms by splitting the mesoderm
  • spiral cleavage

 

Term

coelomates embryonic dev't

(Deuterostome)

Definition
  • Deuterostome- second mouth, advanced
  • anus forms at or near blastopore
  • mouth forms elswhere
  • coelom formed by out pouching of the emryonic gut
  • radial cleavage
Term

Reproduction

Asexual

sexual can either be

(dioecious or monoecious)

Definition
  • dioecious:- 2 separate sexes
  • monoecious:- individual but has both male and female reproductive organ (hermaphroditeL
Term
Nervous
Definition
    •  Primitive:- response to stimuli
    •  Cephalization                                                                                                                  
Aggregation of sensory cells/nerve cells (ganglion)
