Cards

Term
2 phyla important to deuterostomes
Definition
echinodermata and chordata
Term
subphylums of chordata
Definition
urochordata [tunicates], cephalochordata[lancelets], vertebrata[fishes - mammals]
Term
examples of echinodermata
Definition
sea lilies, sea urchins, brittle stars, sea stars, sea cucumbers
Term
high concentration of transcription factor protein
Definition
determines head/body polarity
Term
gap genes
Definition
produce transcription factors that roughly define segmentation
Term
hox genes
Definition
produce transcription factors
that determine what develops in each of the body
segments
Term
metamerism
Definition
different segments of developing embryo, toolkit is responsible for each metamere
Term
mesoderm forms
Definition
the notochrod
Term
ectoderm forms
Definition
DHNC
Term
urochordates
Definition
larval form has chordate characteristics which are lost in the adult form
Term
mesoderm in vertebrates
Definition
forms the vertebral column
Term
somite
Definition
masses of mesoderm distributed along two sides of neural tube - eventually becomes dermis, skeletal muscle, and vertebrae
Term
cartilage and bone
Definition
formed by both mesderm and neural crest
Term
visceral skeleton [derived from neural crest cells]
Definition
supports gills in primitive vertebrates [jawless] -- first 2 elements evolved to form the vetebrate jaw
Term
sharks and gill slits
Definition
have five external gill slits supported by five visceral
arches. The two most anterior visceral arches form the jaws.
Term
jaws and teeth
Definition
formed by neural crest [enamel from ectoderm, dentine from neural crest]
Term
induction mechanism
Definition
switch that acts tobegin making proteins and tissues - neural crest tissues migrate and make contact with oral epithelium to activate tooh forming tool kit gene
Term
dentine -primitive vs. modern
Definition
showed same basic structure - enamel cap, basal layer, and pulp cavity for blood and nerves -- outer layer came into contact with environment and was sensitive [marked changes in salinity and temp]
