Term
vertebrate
Definition
animal with backbone
Term
invertebrate
Definition
animal with no backbone
Term
6 characteristics of Animals
Definition
1- multicelled
2-heterotrophic
3-motile phase
4-majority sexually reproduce
5-embryonic development
6-aerobic
7-most form tissues and organs
Term
epilthilium
Definition
sheetlike array of cells that lines a body cavity
Term
epidermis
Definition
covering that protects from the outside world
Term
gastrodermis
Definition
lining of the gut: stomach where food is digested
Term
Connective Tissue
Definition
Matrix in which protein fibers and living cells are embedded (i.e. skeleton)
Term
radial symmetry
Definition
body parts arranged around their main axis; (i.e. wheel) for example: hydra-water; adapted to capture food
Term
bilateral symmetry
Definition
equivalent left and right halves with an undersie and upperside (front is different from back)
Term
Cephalization
Definition
nerve development as a result of the increasing concentration of sensory structures & nerve cells at the "leading" end (evolved into distinct head)
Term
gut
Definition
sac protecting into the body or tube; where food is digested and absorbed
Term
incomplete digestive system
Definition
saclike gut; opening serves as both mouth and anus
Term
complete digestive system
Definition
tubular gut; broken and absorbed food - in: mouth, out: anus
Term
segmentation
Definition
repeated body units (worms, lobster)
Term
Sponges
Definition
"fitler feeders",have no symmetry (asymetric), no organs, no tissues,collar/amoeboid cells, silica, reproduce asexually, microvilli
Term
collar cells
Definition
one of the flagellated cells lining the inner cavity of a sponge
Term
amoeboid cells
Definition
process and digest the food
Term
silica
Definition
used for protection; tough protein fibers and spicules of calcium carbonate and SILICA that stiffen body to become glasslike (deter predators).
Term
filter feeders
Definition
take in food from the water by the use of flagella and microvilli
Term
microvilli
Definition
catches food and brings it into cell
Term
Cnidarians
Definition
Term
Cnidarians
Definition
radial, nematocysts, tissues (gastro, epidermis) but no organs, nerve net, (jellyfish, sea anemones)
Term
nematocysts
Definition
capsules with barbed-like threads that have toxins and inflicts pain
Term
cnidarian have what type of gut?
Definition
incomplete gut - has enzymes that break down prey; mouth - takes in prey but then spits it out.
Term
nerve net
Definition
nerve cells threading through cnidarian epithelia (simple nervous system)
Term
tissue
Definition
community of cells carry out 1 or more tasks
Term
organ
Definition
structural untis of two or more tissues that develop in porportion and patterns to carry out specific tasks
Term
organ system
Definition
two or more organs interacting physically, chemically, or both as they carry out specialized tasks
Term
flatworms
Definition
(planaria, flukes, tapeworms)
1st to have an organ, pharynx, incomplete digestive system, protonephedria
Term
pharynx
Definition
tubelike - used for feeding: incomplete gut
Term
protonephedria
Definition
system of tiny tubes that controls water and solute volume
Term
planaria are...
Definition
hermaphrodites = reproduce asexually
Term
parasitic flatworms have no...
Definition
digestive system - they absorb the nutrients directly from host
Term
Annelids
Definition
(earthworms, leeches) cuticle, segmented, complete digestive system, hydrostatic skeleton, nephridia, rudimentary brain, multiple hearts, and closed circulatory systems
Term
Cuticle
Definition
tough flexible, protective, doesn't prevent water loss
Term
Annelids can consume their own...
Definition
weight of decaying matter each day
Term
closed circulatory system
Definition
multiple hearts (5), has vessels to pump
Term
rudimentary brain
Definition
nerves that serve as line of cimmunication
Term
nephridia
Definition
fluids actually drain into small bladder
Term
hydrostatic skeleton
Definition
lengthening and shortening of muscles
Term
Rotifers
Definition
many organs in small body, complete digestive sytem, protonephridia, many have eyes, nerve cells, no circulatory/respiratory system, not many males
Term
mollusk
Definition
"belly foots"(slugs, snails), bivalves, cephalopods,bilateral, mantle, radula, respiratory organs (leaflike), gastropod embryo (anus by mouth), complete digestive system
Term
bivalves
Definition
2 shells, clams
Term
gastropods

Term
mantle
Definition
skirt-like extension of body mass that drapes back on itself
Term
radula
Definition
tongue like, toothed=guts its food
Term
squid
Definition
largest brain, jet propulsion (siphon), closed circulatory system; multiple hearts.
Term
