Term
Phylum anthropoda
Definition
  • Largest phylum, 1 million
  • segmented
  • jointed legs
  • Exoskeleton
  • Blood vascular system (hemocoel, hemolymph)
  • reduced coelom
  • brain and ventral nerve cord
Term
Anthropoda
Definition

Excretory system: metanephridia, Malpighian tubules (terrestrial species)

Gas Exchange: Gills, Body wall, Book lungs, trachae (terrestrial species)

Reproduction: primarily dioecious, pathenogenesis

Term
Phylum Chelicerata
Definition

horseshoe crabs, spiders, scorpians, mites

  • Cephalothorax and abdomen
  • Chelicerae (fang like appendages in mouth)
  • carnevorous or parasites

Class Arachnids: spiders, mites, scorpians, ticks

4 pairs of legs

Term
Phylum Myriapodia
Definition

Millipedes: 2 pairs of legs/ segment

Centipede: 1 pair of legs/ segment

Term
Phylum Hexapoda
Definition

Class insecta: largest anthropod group, Diverse

Body division: head, thorax, abdomen

6 legs

 

Adaptations to terrestrial environment:

  • waxy layer of cuticle
  • Malpighian tubules

Flight evolved

Two pairs of wings

 

Term

Hexapoda Continuation

 

Definition

Feeding:

  • Herbivores
    • pollinators (bees, wasps, butterflies), feed on nectar
    • crop pests
  • carnivorous, parasites
  • disease vectors, e.g. mosquitoes

Development:

  • Incomplete metamorphosis
    • egg, nymph, adult
  • Complete metamorphosis
    • egg, larvae, pupa, adult
Term
Crustacea
Definition

Lobster, Shrimp, crabs

  • Freshwater, marine, terrestrial
  • two pairs of antennae
  • gills
  • filter feeders, carnivore
Term

Deutrostomia

 

Definition

Anus forms near or at site of blastomere

  • Chordata
  • Echinodermata
Term
Phylum echinodermata
Definition

starfishes, feather stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers

-entirely marine

-adults, 5 parts (pentaradial, pentamerous) radial symmetry

-endoskeleton containing calcereous spines and plates

Term
echinodermata
Definition
  • Water vascular system
  • tube feet their functions
  • Blood vascular system- nutrients and waste transport
  • Excretory system-
  • Larval symmetry- bilateral
Term
Phylum Chordata Hallmarks
Definition

1.) Notochord- endoskeleton

2.) Dorsal Hollow Nerve Cord

3.) Pharyngeal gills

4.) Postanal tail

Term
Subphylum Urochordata (=tunicata)
Definition

Tunicates- because have a body cavity(called tunicates) that contains high percentage of cellulose, entirely marine

Solitary and colonial

 

Filter feeders

  • pharynx where food is concentrated- moves through pharynx

Gas exchange

  • At gills

BVS

Term
Craniata= craniates
Definition

Cranium- skull encasing brain

Neural crest cells- bone and cartilage of skull, teeth, nerves, inner skin of face

 

Term
Agnathon= jawless
Definition

Myxini= hagfishes

Marine

Notochord; no vertebrae

Jawless, scavengers (dead and dying fish)

Produce slime

 

Term
Petrmyzontida
Definition
  • Lampreys marine and FW
  • Vertibrae, Notochord
  • Parasitic and non parasitic species; Larvae
  • Jawless
  • Latch onto fish and suck the blood out
  • Larvae look like cephalochordates
Term
Gnathostomes (Jawed vertebrates)
Definition
  • Jaws
  • mineralized skeleton
  • paired appendages
  • Jaws arose from gill arches
Term
Chondrictynes
Definition
  • Sharks and rays
  • Cartilaginous fish (skeleton of cartilage)
Term

Osteichthyans

Definition
  • Lungs or lung derivative
  • Rayfinned fish
  • bony skeleton- calcified
  • swim bladder- lung derivative
    • By adjusting amount of gas in bladder; density, thus bouyancy regulated
    • Significance- saves a lot of energy, conserves energy as some fish always have to be swimming
Term
Lobe fins
Definition
Lobed pectoral and pelvic fins
Term
Tetrapoda
Definition
  • Four limbed with feet
  • originated from lobe finned ancestors
  • Movement from water to land= stable aquatic environment to harsh terrestrial environment
Term
Amphibia
Definition
  • First land vertebraes
  • earliest diverging tetrapods
  • shell less eggs, suseptible to dehydration
  • gas exchange across skin and surface of lungs
Term
Amniotes= amniota
Definition

Amniotes= amniota

  • Amniotic egg- adaptation allowing development on land
  • made diversification of terrestrial vertabraes possible

Egg Characteristics

  • Shell
    • prevents desiccation
    • allows gas exchange
  • Extraembryonic membranes
    • amnion- fluid filled sac.
    • aqueous environment for embryonic development
  • Allantois- gas exchange/ waste storage
  • chorion- gas exchange
  • Yolk sac
Term
Reptilia
Definition
  • Turtles, snakes, lizards, alligators, crocodiles, dinosaurs,
  • Epidermal scales containing keratin
  • prevents desiccation
  • most egg layers
Term
Birds
Definition
  • Descended from theropods dinosaur lineage
  • no teeth

Adaptation to flight

  • wings
  • feathers-epidermal derivative
  • pneumatized bone < weight
