Term
Phylum Chordata were the first.....
Definition
first animals with true internal skeleton
Term
Advantages of internal skeleton
Definition
a) provides large areas for muscle attachment b)brings about efficient movement
Term
Subphylum of chordata
Definition
1. cephalchordata(tunicates or sea squirts)
2. urochordata (lancelates)
3. Vertebrata
Term
What do all chordata have in common?
Definition
notochord, nerve cords, tails, pharyngeal slits
Term
Notochord
Definition
flexible, rod-shaped body found in embryos of all chordates
Term
nerve cord
Definition
modified into brain and spinal cord
Term
pharyngeal slits
Definition
used to strain water and filter food particles in primative chordates but used for respiration for fish
Term
tail
Definition
vital for locomotion,has muscles
Term
lancelets
Definition
ceephalochordata, live with tail in water, filter feed
Term
tunicates
Definition
urochordat, free swimming as larvae, but sessile once mature
Term
subphylum verterbrae
Definition
notochord is replaced by vertebrae, have : nerve cord, brain, jaws, gills/lungs

1)endoskeleton
2)closed circulatory system
3)paired appendages
4)internal organs
5)high degree of cephalization
Term
Hagfish
Definition
crainiates: brain encased in skull, no vertebral column

Jawless,finless,blind with lots of smell and slime
Term
about the mucus of hagfish
Definition
mucus includes fibers similar to spider silk, deters predators, sneeze to free nostrils of slime

enter dead fish, enter live fish when there is an opening
Term
Lamprey
Definition
cephalspidomorphi, no fins, parasitic, vertebrate w/o jaws, cartilaginous rod replaces notochord
Term
types of fish
Definition
cartilaginous: sharks and rays; older
Bony
Term
fish heart
Definition
2 chambered, linear tube with bulges
Term
sharks evolution
Definition
from fish with bones, but no ossification, powerful caudal fin
Term
3 living classes of bony fish
Definition
Actinopterygii – ray-finned fish
Actinistia – coelacanths
Dipnoi – lungfish
Term
3 features unique to bony fish
Definition
Bony skeleton
Operculum covers gills
Swim bladder for buoyancy
Term
actininopterygii
Definition
ray finned fish
Term
actinistia
Definition
coelacanth...hollow notochord filled with oily fluid; no vertebral column
Term
ray fins
Definition
thin, bony, flexible rays moved by muscles on interior of body
Term
lobe fins
Definition
fins are supported by skeletal extensions of the pectoral and pelvic areas and are moved by muscles in the fins
Term
dipnoi
Definition
lungfish; live in oxygen poor freshwater, has both gills and lungs, will drown if unable to breathe air
Term
acanthostega
Definition
transitional species, with eight digits on each hand
Term
amphibian development
Definition
a. eggs laid and fertilized in water b. tadpole with gills c. development of limbs and loss of tail
Term
amnion, albumin, allantois, chorion,
Definition
amnion: protects embryo in fluid-filled sac

allantois: contains wastes from embryo

chrorion: allows gas exchange, together with allantrois membranes

allantrois: contains wastes from embryo, gets bigger with age
Term
difference between alligator and crocodile
Definition
alligator: broad snout, lower jaw close on inside of upper jaw

croc: lower teeth visible
Term
similarities between birds and reptiles
Definition
feathers, scaly legs, horny beaks, internal copulation, amniotic egg
Term
Mammals uniquely possess
Definition
mammary glands, hair, large brain volume
Term
cell level of organization in these phyla
Definition
cnidaria, poriferia
Term
tissue level of organization in these phyla
Definition
Term
organ level of organization in these phyla
Definition
Term
asymmetrical body form
Definition
Term
radial body form
Definition
Term
bilateral
Definition
all except echinodermata
Term
which phyla have a gastro-vascular cavity containing digestive tract
Definition
Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes
Term
which phyla have a complete tract?
Definition
nematoda, chordata
Term
earthworm digestion
Definition
the tract is specialized in different regions for the ingestion (mouth), storage (crop), fragmentation (gizzard), digestion and absorption (intestines) of food
Term
Hydrostatic skeleton are in phyla..
Definition
annelida, cnidaria

Definition
in part 2
