3. Nervous and Muscle Tissue: acetylcholine,cholinesterase nervouse system

4. Life History: sexual reproduction, diploid stage dominant

6. Hox genes regulate form
Term
Animal Development
Definition
Zygote->embryo->head mRNA translated to protein->protein triggers others->body segments and appendages
Term
Homeotic genes

Term
Eumetazoa
Definition
animals with tissue (all animals excluding sponges)
Term
Radiata
Definition
animals with radial symmetry (two germ layers, ectoderm and endoderm)
Term
Bilateria
Definition
animals with bilateral symmetry (three germ layers, ectoderm mesoderm endoderm)
Term
Acoelomate
Definition
body covering from ectoderm
tissue filled layer from mesoderm
digestive tract from endoderm
Term
Pseudocoelomate
Definition
Body covering from ectoderm
muscle layer from mesoderm
pseudocoleom
digestive tract from endoderm
Term
Coelomate
Definition
body covering from ectoderm
tissue layer lining coelom and suspending internal organs from mesoderm (coelom)
digestive tract from endoderm
Term
Protostome
Definition
cleavage (sprial and determinate)

coelom formation: schizocoelus (solid masses of mesorderm split to form coelom)

fate of blastospore (mouth develops from blastospore)
Term
Deuterstome
Definition
cleavage (radial and indeterminate)

formation of coelom: enterocoelos (folds of archenteron form coelom)

fate of blastspore (blastospore forms anus)
Term
Phylogeny
Definition
study of evolutionary relationships among organisms
Term
taxonomy
Definition
practice of naming organisms and assigning them to taxa
Term
Taxonomy Hierarchy
Definition
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
Term
Systematics
Definition
classififcation of organisms in light of evolutionary relationships
Term
Phylogenetic systematics
Definition
method of classification based on evolutionary relationships (recency of common ancestor and shared derived characteristics)
Term
character
Definition
feature or attribute that can be used for comparison, passed own from parent to offspring
Term
character state
Definition
range of values of a specific taxonomic character
Term
Apomorphies
Definition
derived (evolved from a primitive state

autapomorphies ->within a species

synapomorphies ->two or more species(distinguish them from all other species)
Term
Pleisomorphies
Definition
ancestral (primitive)
Term
fossil data
Definition
primitive state possessed by immediate ancestral taxon
Term
outgroup comparison
Definition
need to compare to sister group (most closely related taxon)
Term
Monophyletic group
Definition
all ancestors and all descendants
Term
Paraphyletic group
Definition
an ancestors and not all descendants
Term
Polyphyletic group
Definition
multiple ancestors and all descendants
Term
Parsimony
Definition
the best hypothesis with the fewest evolutionary steps (PAUP -> Phylogenetic analysis using parismony)
Term
Convergent Evolution
Definition
some taxa may have the same characteristics due to convergence
Term
Analogy vs. Homology
Definition
phylogenetic hypothesis use fossil, molecular, and morphological data for analysis
Term
Bauplan
Definition
a structural plan or design (genetics and evolutionary history)
Term
Bauplan Constraints
Definition
minimum: house structures to survive and reproduce

maximum: limited by surface needed to obtain nutrients and dispose waste
Term
Surface area
Definition
small animals have large SA to volume ration (have enough to serve cell needs)

large animals have specialized internal structures with large SA
Term
Morphological stability
Definition
high diversity, few basic body plans (conserved body plan)

form of constraint (ontogeny leads to few disturbances)
Term
sagital
Definition
right and left halves
Term
frontal
Definition
dorsal and ventral
Term
transverse
Definition
anterior and posterior (cross section)
Term
Cephalization
Definition
evolution of a specialized head with sensory and feeding equipment on anterior end
Term
Types of Support
Definition
1. Structural Endoskeleton

2. Structural Exoskeleton

3. Hydrostatic skeleton
Term
Muscles and skeleton functions
Definition
1. maintain body shape

2. provide support

3. attachment for muscles

4. contraction

5. relaxation for extension
Term
Hydrostatic skeleton
Definition
Movement achieved through contraction and extension of connective tissues attached to cell walls (peristalsis)

Based on two themes of water
1. incompressibility
2. ability to assume any shape

2 muscle layers
Term
Problems of Hydrostatic movement
Definition
getting a kink, sprining a leak

solutions (segementation allows for more precise movement, certain segments at a time)
Term
Types of Locomotion
Definition
1. Amoedboid Movement

2. Ciliary and Flagellar Movement

3. Hydrostatic propulsion

4. Locomoter limb movement
Term
Amoeboid movement
Definition
pseodpodia (protozoans and internal amoeboids)
Term
Cilia and Flagella
Definition
occurs in every animal phyla

creates propulsion or movement fluid
Term
Hydrostatic propulsion
Definition
peristalsis
Term
Reynolds number
Definition
plU/v

p=density of the fluid
l=size of the solid body
U=relative velocity of the fluid over the body
v=vicosity of the fluid

ratio of the initerial force to the viscous force
Term
Reynolds number for small and large organisms
Definition
Small: fluid visocosity greater problem for small, more energy for movement, low reynolds number

large: inertia greater problem for large, greater energy for motion, high reynolds number, more energy to overcome inertia
Term
Types of Digestion
Definition
1. Extracoroporeal Digestion (disgestion outside the body)

2. Extracellular digestion (digestion inside a gut chamber)

3. Intracellular digestion (digestion inside a cell)
Term
Feeding Strategies
Definition
Omnivory by suspension feeding or deposit feeding
Term
Nitrogenous wastes
Definition
1. ammonia

2. uric acid

3. urea (100,000 times less toxic than ammonia, energetically expensive, rare among inverts)
