Cards

Term
cleavage
Definition
mitotic cell divisions with cell growth between cycles
-froms blastula
Term
blastula
Definition
-hollow ball of cells
-formed by cleavage
Term
gastrulation
Definition
one end of the embryo folds inward, expands and fills blastula forming gastrula
Term
larval stage
Definition
sexually immature form of an animal
9different from adult
-eats different food, different habitat
-after metamorphosis turns into juvenille
Term
ectoderm
Definition
makes outer covering of animal and embryo
Term
endoderm
Definition
inner germ layer
-become lining of digestive tube
Term
Archenteron
Definition
lining of digestive tract
ex: liver, lungs
Term
Mesoderm
Definition
for bilateral symmetry
-b/w ectoderm and endoderm
0forms muscles
Term
diploblastic
Definition
have only ectoderm, endoderm, archenteron
Term
triploblastic
Definition
have endoderm, ectoderm, archenteron, and mesoderm
Term
protostome
Definition
-type of developmental mode
-spiral cleavage
-anus=1st opening
-mouth-2nd opening

-determinate
Term
deuterostome
Definition
-has radial cleavage
-perfectly parallel
-mouth=1st opening
-indeterminate cleavage
Term
preformation
CH 47
Definition
-18th century idea that egg or sperm contains the embryo
Term
Acrosomal Reaction
Definition
First step in fertilization
-triggered in sperm after contact with egg
-when spem makes contact acrosome releases enzymes to mke hole in egg
-acrosomal process created
-protiens from acrosomal process bind to receptor on egg membrane
-plasma membranes fuse
Term
Cortical Reaction
Definition
2ND step in fertilization
-cortical granules in the egg fuse w/ membrane
-causes sperm receptors and jelly coat to fall off
Term
Activation of the Egg
Definition
the increase in Ca+ increases rate of Cellular Respiration
-20 min after sperm enters egg, the two nuclei merge
