Term
5 Levels of Organization
Definition

1. Protoplasmic- unicellular orgs

2.Cellular level- differentiated cells

3. Cell-tissue level- definite patterns/layers becoming a tissue to form a common function (jellies)

4. Tissue-organ level- tissues into organs. flatworms

5. Organ system level- organs work together for body functions. some worms with complete digestive system. arthropods and annelids

Term
Metazoa
Definition
Multicellular organisms
Term
Parenchyma Cells
Definition
chief functional cells of an organ
Term
Stroma Tissues
Definition
The supportive tissues in an organ
Term
# of Organ Systems

11:

Skeletal, muscular, integumentary, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, excretory, nervous, endocrine, immune, and reproductive.

Term
Development Stagesb
Definition

1. egg

2. Zygote (cleavage)

3. Blastula

4. Gastrula (2 germ layers) (not sponges)

Term
Radial Cleavage
Definition
planes symmetrical to the polar axis and produce layers of cells. Regulative development- if a blastomere of the early embryo is separated, it can adjust its development into a complete embryo
Term
Spiral Cleavage
Definition
Cleaves oblique to the axis and produces a quartet of cells that lie in furrows between the cells. Packed tightly. Mosaic development: organ forming determinants in the egg cyoplasm become localized in the egg before the first cleavage division.  If blastomeres are separated, they form a defective, partial embryo
Term
Blastocoel
Definition
fluid filled cavity in blastula stage. becomes two layered stage called gastrula- leads to gut cavity
Term
Blastopore
Definition
gut opening
Term
Psuedocoelom
Definition
blastocoel slightly lined with mesoderm
Term
Acoelomate
Definition
no coelom. only body cavity is the space inside the gut tube
Term
Coelom
Definition
cavity completely surrounded by mesoderm- "tube within a tube"
Term
Metamerism
Definition
Segmentation.
Term
Protostomes
Definition

1. Blastopore becomes mouth

2. Spiral Cleavage

3. Coelom forms by splitting

4. Mosaic embryo

Term
Deuterostomes
Definition

1. Blastopore becomes anus

2. Radial cleavage

3. Coelom forms by outpocketing

4. Regulative embryo

Term

1.Ecdysozoa

 

2. Lophotrochozoa

Definition

Protostome Subgroups

1. Ecdysozoa molt their cuticles

2. Lophotrochozoa are very diverse

Term
Histology
Definition
The study of tissues
Term
apomorphic
Definition
derived state- useful in cladistics
Term
plesiomorphic
Definition
ancestrol trait
Term
homoplasy
Definition
similair features and function of a character state evolves separately ie, bird and bat wings
Term
5 Kingdoms
Definition

1. Monera

2. Protista

3. Fungi

4. Animals

5. Plants

Term
3 Domains
Definition

1. Eucarya

2. Bacteria

3. Archae

* eucarya and bacteria are monera
