What is a distinguishing feature of the clade ECDYSOZOA? (inc. arthopods and nematodes) which gives it its name?
Definition
shed a tough external coat called the cuticle as they grow. Named after this process which is called molting or ecdysis.
Term

Definition

Trichinella spiralis, a nematode.

aqcuired by eating undercooked pork or other meat that has juvenile worms encrusted in nerve tissue.

Term

Definition
The term used for the blood in an open circulatory system. 
Term

horseshoe crabs, spiders, scopions, ticks, mites

Term
Describe class MYRIAPODA in phylum Arthopoda
Definition

Distinct head bearing antennae and chewing mouthparts;terrestrial;

 

millipedes and centipedes

Term
What are PEDIPALPS and CHELICERAE on arthropods for?
Definition

pedipalps: sensing, feeding, or reproduction

 

chelicerae: equipped with poison glands, used to attack prey. 

Term
Describe the structure of ECHINODERMS
Definition
thin epidermis voers an endoskeleton of hard calcareous plates. Most are prickly from skeletal bumps and spines. The have a water vascular system , a network of hydraulic canals branching into extensions called tube feet. 
Term

What are the functions of the tube feet in echinoderms?

 

Why are echinoderms not 'truly radial'

Definition

Locomotion, feeding , and gas echange.

 

 

The opening (madreporite) of the vascular system is not central but shifted to one side.

Term
Chordates are _____________ symmetrical ______________ with ____________ bodies. 
Definition
Bilaterally, coelomates, segmented
Term

Chordates have a _________ and a dorsal, hollow nerve chord.

 

____________ are chordates with a head.

Definition

notochord

 

 

craniates

Term

Vertebrates are craniates that have a __________.

 

______________ are vertebrates that have jaws.

Definition

backbone

 

 

gnathastomes

Term

_________ are gnathostomes that have limbs.

 

Amniotes are __________ that have __________________.

Definition

Tetrapods.

 

tetrapods, terrestrially adapted (amniotic) egg

Term

Mammals are amniotes that _______ ______ & __________ __________.

 

Humans are mammals that have a _______ _______ & __________ ________.

Definition

have hair, produce milk

 

large brain, bipedal locomotion

Term
What are 4 distinguishing derived characteristics of Chordates?
Definition

1. Notochord; longtitunal, flexible rod for skeletal support

2. Dorsal, hollow nerve chord; develops into the central nervous system, brain and spinal chord

3. Pharyngeal slits of clefts; allow water to exit body without passing digestive tract, som modified for gas exchange

4. Muscular, post anal tail; Helps propulsion in water

Term
Where do lancelets get their name?
Definition

their blade like shape.

 

they closesly resemble an idealized chordate.

Term
What is evolutionarily unique about tunicates, and why are they recently found to be mre closely related to other chordates then lanclets?
Definition

They lost 4 hox genes (from 13 to 9) indicating unusual developmental program.

They resemble chordates in their very short lived larval stage, but then undergoes radical metamorphasis into adut form.

Term
What has research on lancelets shown about the evolution of the chordate brain?
Definition
They have a slightly swollen tip on their anterior end of the dorsal nerve chord, but the same hox genes that organize major brain regions express themselves in corresponding patterns in this small cluster of cells in the lancelets nerve chord.
Term

When did the mineralization of cartilege begin in evolution?

 

What is hypothesized to have initiated this process?

Definition

After lampreys diverged form other vertebrates

 

that minerilization was associated with a transition in feeding mechanisms. That mineralization started in the mouth. Only in more derived vertebrates did the endoskeleton start to mineralize, starting with the skull.

Term

Gnathastomes are vertebrates that have ______.

 

Why is it hypothesized that these evolved?

Definition

jaws

 

by modification of the skeletal rods that had previously supported the anterior pharyngeal slits.

 

Term
What are some evolved characteristics of the Gnathastomes?
Definition
Jaws,4 hox gene clusters, large forbrain associated with heightened sense of smell and vision, lateral line system: sensative to vibrations in water.
Term
What are two probable features of anatomy that contribute to the success of Gnathostaomes?
Definition

Paired fins and tail allowed them to chase efficiently after prey.

 

Jaws enabled them to grab prey or simply bite of chunks of flesh.

Term

Define Ovoviviporous

 

and Viviporous

 

and Oviporous

Definition

1. They retain fertilized eggs in the oviduct. Nourished by yolk, embryos develop into young that are born after hatching in the uterous

2. The young develop within the mothers uterus and recieve nutrients from the mothers blood in the yolk sac placenta

3. reproducing by external fertilization after eggs have been layed

Term
What is the cloaca in sharks
Definition
A common chamber with a single opening to the outside that recieves outflow from digestive and reproductive systems
Term
What are the 4 specialized compartments found in a n amniotic egg?
Definition
the amnion, the chorion, the yolk sac, and the allantois
