Phyla: Arthropoda
- - very successful phylum (mare than half of all named species!)
- - two large groups based on mouthparts:
- Madibultes (have jaws)
- Chelicerates (have fangs and pincers)
- - jointed appendages **gives flexibility
- - segmented bodies
- larval (immature) for has individual segments
- adult has segments fused into usites: head, thorax, and abdomen
- - have a coelom
- - have a strong exoskeleton made of chitin (it is shed suring molting, or ecdysis)
- functions: protection
- body shape and support
- muscle attachment
- impedes water loss
- drawback: brittle and cannot support great weight, therefore arthropods are not of great size
- - many have compound eyes
- - most terrestrial types have: spiracles (openings for breathing)
- Malpighian tubules (excretory units)
- - open circulatory system
- - many have wings
-
Phyla: Echinodermata
- - have a coelom
- - have an endoskeleton (internal skeleton)
- - embryotic development is a deuterostome (like the chordates)
- - adults have a five-part body plan
- - have a water vascular system to aid movement
-
Phyla: invertebrate chordates
- - have a coelom
- - have an endoskeleton
- - embryonic development is a deuterostome
- - have a notochord during development
- - have a single, hollow, dorsal nerve cord with nerves attached
- - have a series of pharyngeal slits (openings) that develop in the pharynx
- - have a postanal tail at some point in development
-
What is an invertebrate?
an animal lacking a backbone
-
Are invertebrates present on earth in significant numbers?
yes
-
More than half of all names species are in what physlum?
arthropoda
-
What are the levels of organization in a more complex animal?
calls, tussues, organs, and systems
-
What is symmetry?
arrangment of body parts
-
What kind of symmetry do more complex animals have?
bilateral
-
What are the directional terms used for bilateral symmetry?
Dorsal, Ventral, Anterior, Posterior
-
What is a coelom?
a fluid-filled space found between the body wall and the digestive tract
-
What are the advantages of a coelom?
it provides an internal space where mesoderm and endoderm can be in contact with each other during embryonic development; internal organs can move when the outside cant
-
What are the basic characteristics of animals?
- - heterotrophs
- - have mobility by way of muscle cells
- - multicellular
- - ingest and the digest their food
- - most reproduce sexually
- - most form a blastula during development, with later development of 3 primary germ/tissue layers
-
What are the basic characteristics of animal cells?
- - eukaryotic
- - diploid (with haploid sex cells)
- - flexible cells that lack cell walls
- - most have cells arranged into tissues
- - property of cell recognition
-
What are the basic characteristics of sponges?
- - most are marine
- - their obdy wall is penetrated by many pores
- - asymmetrical
- - lack tissues and organs
- - filter feeding and then intracellular digestions
- - sessiles
- capacle of regeneration
- - simplest animal
- - cell recognition
-
What are the embryonic cell layers called?
mesoderm, ectoderm, endoderm
-
Why are earthworms of such importance to the ecology of the soil?
aeration, fertilization, neutralize pH
-
What is respiration?
how the animals exchange gasses
-
What factors must be present for respiration to occur?
large surface area, moist surface area, large number of blood vessels, and oxygen supply
-
What are the typical functions of an exoskeleton?
protection
-
Compare the digestive systems of a Planarian and a more complex worm.
the planarian has a "sac" and only has one opening; the more complex worm has a "tube within a tube" and has 2 openings
-
What do we mean by the term "Tube within a Tube?"
it has 2 openings. a "mouth" and a butt
-
How is a "tube within a tube" more efficient?
it doesnt mix whats coming in with whats coming out
-
What is the difference between an "open" and a "closed" circulatory system?
in an open circulatory system, a heart pumps fluid containing oxygen and nutriends through series of cessels out into a cavity, but in a closed circulatory system, a heart pumpes blood to vessels that permit blood flow from heart to body and back again
-
What kind of circulatory system does and insect have?
open
-
What kind of circulatory system does and Earthworm have?
closed
-
Are arthropods segmented?
no
-
What are the body regions in a typical adult insect?
head, thorax, and abdomen
-
What are the two basic features of an echinoderm that are more similar to vertebrates than to invertebrates?
- - have a coelom
- - have an endoskeleton
-
What is the medical use of leeches?
they suck blood, so if they need to give blood to you, and have the old suck out or keep the blood flowing, they use it
-
If an organism is a successful parasite, what features might it have?
hooks and suckers
