Cards

Term
Animal
Definition
Eukaryotic, multicellular consumer with collagen and muscles and nerves and hox genes that control development
Term
Ectoderm
Definition
outside layer of a developing embryo that will produce epidermis and nervous tissue
Term
Endoderm
Definition
inner layer of a developing embryo that will produce gut lining and the liver
Term
Mesoderm
Definition
middle layer of developing embryo that will produce muscles, bones, blood, kidney, and gonads
Term
Protostome development
Definition
spiral and determinate: mouth develops from blastopore
Term
Deuterostome development
Definition
radial indeterminate: anus develops from blastopore
Term
Chordates
Definition
dorsal hollow nerve cord, notochord, and pharyngeal gills. most have post anal tail and segmental myotomes
Term
Cephalochordata
Definition
the lancelets
Term
Urochordata
Definition
Tunicate
Term
Craniates
Definition
Arose during the cambrian explosion, with the first neural crest cells and skull. 2 chambered heart
Term
myxini
Definition
head, slime glands
Term
petromyzontida
Definition
backbone and vertebrae: dorsal, ventral, and anal fins are all strengthened by rays
Term
Chondrichthyes
Definition
Jaws and mineralized skeleton: suspension feeders or active carnivores, buoyancy from oil stored in the liver
Term
Actinopterygii
Definition
bony fish whose buoyancy is controlled by swim bladder, with breathing being accomplished by forcing water over the gills and out common opercular exit
Term
Primitive Amphibia
Definition
arose in late devonian. scales with 6 to 8 digits, poorly developed wrists and ankles, dorsal ventral movement, a middle ear and were quite large. although primarily aquatic, these tetrapods evolved to occasionally foray onto land
Term
Modern Amphibia
Definition
No scales on skin, eggs must be laid in water, carnivorous, not large. Urodela, Anura, and Apoda
Term
Birds
Definition
forelimbs become wings, ability to fly and walk requires major changes in axial skeleton, high metabolic rates and four chambered heart with unidirectional lung and air sacs
Term
Adaptations for living on land for amniotes
Definition
cornified skin (reptilian epidermal scales), 3- chambered heart, and amniotic egg
