Invertebrates

epithelial

covers body surfaces (inside and out) [skin, lining of intestines]

muscular

contains proteins enabling contraction; moves body parts

connective

support the body; connect parts [bone, blood, ligaments]

nervous

carry information in the form of electrical impulse

feeding

to get carbon and energy

respiration

take in O2, give off CO2

circulation

move materials around body

excretion

get rid of nitrogenous wastes

response

responding to environment

movement

how they move

reproduction

usually sexually

asymmetrical

no symmetry

radial

body parts repeat around the center

bilateral

body has two equal sides

blastula

hollow ball of cells

zygote

fertilized eggs

glastrula

early embryonic stage with 3 layers (endoderm, ectoderm, mesoderm)

blastopore

opening into gastrula (becomes the mouth or anus)

ectoderm

outermost layer
outer skin layers, nerves, sense organs

mesoderm

middle layer
muscles; circulatory, reproductive, excretory systems

endoderm

inner layer
respiratory system; lining of digestive tract

protostomes

animals in which the blastopore becomes the mouth

deuterostomes

animals in which the blastopore becomes the anus

cephalization

concentration of sense organs and nerve cells at the front of the body
(in the head)

cephalization

seen in animals with bilateral symmetry

coelom

a fluid-filled body cavity that is lined with tissue from the mesoderm

acoelomates

animals with no body cavity

pseudocoelomates

animals with a body cavity (but not from mesoderm)

coelomates

animals with a coelom

invertebrates

animals that lack a backbone

vertebrates

animals that have a backbone

porifera

sponges sessile as adult slack true tissues asymmetrical

osculum

the large hole in the top of a sponge
(water exits here)

archaeocytes

amoeba-like cells that move around within the walls

choanocyte

flagellated cells used for creating a current, and feeding

filter feeders

organisms that sift microscopic food particles from water

cnidaria

hydras, jellyfish, sea anemone, and coral soft-bodied have tissues radial symmetry have stinging tentacles around mouth/anus

cnidocytes

stinging cells that line the tentacles

Nematocyst

the structure in the cell that contains a poison dart

polyp

the (usually) sessile stage; the mouth points upwards

medusa

the motile stage; the mouth points downwards

gastrovascular cavity

digestion

Jellyfish

medusa stage is dominant

hydras

polyp stage dominant
(no medusa stage)

sea anemone and corals

polyp stage dominant
(no medusa stage)

Platyhelminthes

flatworms soft-bodied, flattened worms have tissues and organs bilateral symmetry
(with cephalization) acoelomates

pharynx

a muscular tube that moves food/waste

ganglia

clusters of nerves that control the nervous system

eyespots

group of cells that can detect light (they like dark places)

hermaphrodites

individuals with both male and female reproductive organs

free-living flatworms

(this means they don't live in the body of another organism)

flukes

(parasitic flatworms that infect many different internal and external organs)

tapeworms

(parasites of intestines) no digestive tract
(they absorb food directly through their body walls)

Nematoda

roundworms unsegmented worms with tapering ends bilateral symmetry (with cephalization) pseudocoelomates

trichinosis

usually from eating incompletely cooked pork

Nematoda Example

filarial worms

Nematoda Example

ascarid worms
