Term
NOTOCHORD
Definition
rod-like, semi-rigid organ enclosed in a sheath
Term
Phylum Hemichordata (2)
Definition
acorn worms and pterobranchs
Term
Hemichordata more closelsy related to chordates than echinoderms (vertebrates) because they have
Definition
1. Ciliated pharyngeal slits
2.open circulatory system
3. dorsal hollow nerve tube
Term
endostyle
Definition
ciliated groove in the pharynx
Term
3 subphyla of chordata
Definition
Urochordata, cephalochordate and craniata (hypoerotreti and vertebrata)
Term
Phylum Chordata have (5)
Definition
1. NOTOCHORD
2. dorsal hollow nerve cord extending the length of the body
3.pharyngeal slits
4. an endostyle (ciliated groove in the pharynx)

hagfish
Term
Chonrdichthyes
Definition
sharks and rays
Term
derived feature of the Chonrdichthyes
Definition
the cartilage skeleton
Term
3 functions of cartilage
Definition
1. Skeletal support and during development
2. Cushioning between joints
3. Absorption and storage of mechanical energy during locomotion
Term
chondrocytes
Definition
make up cartilage
Term
what makes up the cartilage
Definition
chondrocytes with martix of collagen
Term
osteons
Definition
make up bone
Term
osteoblasts
Definition
repair bone breaks
Term
2 embryonic origins of bone:
Definition
i) Endochondral bone: develops within cartilage.
ii) Dermal bone: develops in or just beneath skin
Term
osteocytes
Definition
bone forming cells (osteoblasts differentiate into these)
Term
Ostracoderms
Definition
extinct, jawless fish that carry bony body armor made of dermal plates.
Term
Endochondral
Definition
develops within cartilage.
most skeleton of tetrapods
Term
Dermal bone
Definition
develops in or just beneath skin
1st type of bone
in tetrapods: face and cranium
Term
striated
Definition
voluntary or multinucleate
1. locomotion
2. circulation
3. body temp
Term
smooth
Definition
involuntary or uninucleate
-in skin and lining of gut, blood vessel and reproductive tract
Term
cardiac
Definition
in heart
Term
blood in vertebrates
Definition
is a complex aqueous solution including plasma , erythrocytes and leucocytes
Term
plasma
Definition
water and dissolved gases, salts, nutrients and proteins
Term
erythrocytes
Definition
transports O2 and CO2
Term
leucocytes
Definition
immunity
Term
Pronephros:
Definition
most primitive kidney, functional only in embryos of fishes and amphibians and in adult hagfishes, which are iso-osmotic to their environment and excrete ammonia.
-Contains fewest nephrons
Term
Mesonephros:
Definition
functional kidney during embryonic development in amniotes (reptiles, birds, mammals) in which osmoregulation is important
-more nephrons
-In adult fish/amphibians can have mesonephric and metanephric proteions and is called opisthonephric kidney
Term
Metanephros:
Definition
functional kidney of adult reptiles, birds and mammals
