Protozoa (Protista)
Unicellular eukaryotes that perform all basic life functions
Choanoflagillida
Protist group most closely related to animals
Metazoa
- Equivalent to Animalia; complex multicellularity - Exhibit greater structural complexity - Meiosis restricted to formation of 1n generation - Fertilization restores diploid generation
Tissue
groups of similar cells performing a similar function
Epithelial tissue
Sheets of cells that covers an internal or external surface; Joined by intercellular junctions
3 types of intercellular junctions
1. Sealing or Tight junctions 2. Adhering Junctions 3. Gap junctions
Tight/sealing junctions
Seal the membranes of the cels
Adhering junctions
help stick cells together near the top and adds some structural integrity to the epithelium
Gap junctions
Tubes of protein that interconnect adjacent cells
Connective tissue
support, binding, storage and transport; consists of protein fibers, glycoproteins and water
Examples of specialized connective tissue
blood = water and protein bone = mineralized contains calcium salts
Organ
Different tissues functioning together as an integrated unit
Organ Systems
Different organs operating together (Ex: digestive system)
Function of skeletons
Support, protections, muscle attachment
Endoskeleton
Inside
Where are muscles attached?
Endoskeletons
If diffusion alone is the only means of transport then
- distance has to be small - highly folded body to increase surface area
Circulatory System for animals with just diffusion
Fluid-transport system; mechanism for mass or bulk fluid flow
Sperm or Spermatozoan
mature cell body; middle piece is occupied by mitochondria which produces ATP for flagellum to move
Egg
Oocyte/ Ovum
Fertilization process for Metazoa
1. Sperm contacts egg 2. Sperm penetrates the outer coat of egg 3. Plasma membranes of gametes fuse 4. Sperm nucleus enters egg cytoplasm and migrates to egg nucleus 5. Sperm and egg nuclei fuse which forms a zygote
Cell Cleavage
Repeated division of zygote to form multicellular embryo
Blastula
Hollow ball of cells; Cells of embryos
Blastomeres
Cells of cleaving embryo
Embryology
Study of embryonic development
Phylum Porifera
- Sponges - Sessile - Filter feeders - Marine and FW - No nerves or muscles
Tissue Layers of Sponge
- Pinacoderm - Choanoderm - Mesohyle - Porocyte - Spongocoel - Osculum
Pinacoderm
Outer layer of sponge
Choanoderm
Inner layer of sponge; flagellated cells
Mesohyle
Connected tissue layer; Has scattered cells and they secrete cells
Porocyte
Cells that link the internal cavity with the external environment
Spongocoel
Internal cavity of sponge
Osculum
Big opening at the top of the internal cavity
Water flow in sponges
porocyte --> Spongocoel --> Osculum
Functions of the Choanocyte
Pump water from the external environment for water flow in sponges - Trap food
Amoeboid cells
Stem cells
Reproduction in sponges
Asexual or Sexual
Sexual reproduction in sponges
Zygote --> blastula --> Ciliated larva
What is a larva?
Stage that is morphologically and ecologically distinct from the adult form
