spina bifida
congenital neural tube defect caused by the incomplete closure of the fetus's spine during early pregnancy lack of FOLIC ACID DURING PREGNANCY
CHORDATE
MEMBER OF THE PHYLUM CHORDATA, ANIMALS THAT AT SOME POINT DURING THEIR DEVELOPMENT HAVE A NOTOCHORD; A DORSAL, HOLLOW NERVE CHORD; PHARYNGEAL SLITS OR CLEFTS; AND A MUSCULAR, POST-ANAL TAIL.
Chondrichthyes
jawed fishes with cartilaginous skeletons
actinopterygii
ray finned fish with bony rays supporting fins
Actinistia
Coelacanths (bone and muscle in pectoral fins) Outgroup to tetrapods(lobe finned)
Echinoderms
Coelomates, deuterostomes sea stars, brittle stars, sea cucumbers, urchins, sand dollars bilaterally symmetrical larvae five part adult body plan water vascular system sister group to chordates
Coelomate
An animal with a true body cavity completely lined by mesoderm, the layers of which connect dorsally and ventrally to form mesenteries.
Cnidaria
- Corals, jellies, hydras - Diploblastic, radial symmetry - Gastrovascular cavity w/single opening that is the mouth and anus -medusa=sexual/motile, polyp=asexual/sessile(immobile)
partial metamorphosis
juveniles resemble adults and change gradually as they grow; molt to new stages; last molt produces a reproductive adult
complete metamorphosis
adult looks and functions differently from a larva
Craniates
-chordates with heads -have a skull and a brain -more active -more extensive musculature -have neural-crest cells -includes vertebrates and hagfishes
vertabrate
animal with a backbone; bilaterally symmetrical and have an endoskeleton
Gnathostomes
Animals with jaws (jawed fish and other vertebrates)
Osteichthyans
Bony Fish Have an ossified endoskeleton, have lungs or lung derivatives
Lobe Fins
A series of rod-shaped bone in their muscular pectoral and pelvic fins. Three lineages: Coelacanth: deep sea dweller thought to be extinct. Lungfishes: represented by a few southern hemispheres that inhabit stagnant waters. Tetrapods: adapted to life on land during the mid-devonian an…
Tetrapods
Amphibians and amniotes -4 limbs with feet and digits - neck mobile head No gill slits
Amniotes
-All tetrapods except amphibians -Synapomorphy: amniotic egg as reproductive structure
Urochordata
tunicates Notochord in larvae. Adult covered in opaque "tunic." Most chordate synapomorphies are lost upon maturity.
Tunicates
-non vertebrate chordate -larva is free swimming -adult is sessile and bag like -both stages are filter feeders -pharynx serves in both feeding and respiration
Metazoa
Multicellular animals; a major division of the animal kingdom
Eumetazoa
- innovation tissues-- specialized cells - have true tissues and different types of organs
Bilateria
Animals that can be divided along a vertial plane at the midline to create two halves. Two types: Protosomes or duterosomes
Deuterostomia
First opening of blastopore becomes anus Echinodermata, Chordata
Lophotrochozoa
-Flatworms, rotifers, lophophorates, mollusks, and annelids -Bilaterally symmerical -Split into coelomates and acoloelomates
ecdysozoa
protostomes -members shed their cuticle as they grow (molting)
Porifera
Sponges Multicellular, but not organized into tissues Asymmetric or irregular symmetry Filter feeders Choanocytes with flagella Amoeboid cells Spicules
ctenophora
comb jellyfish. Eumetazoa transparent, bioluminescent gellatinous. self fertilize
Platyhelminthes
Flatworm Organ system level Bilateral,Triploblastic Gastrovascular cavity-acoelomate Hydrostatic skeleton Cephalization Feed-pharynx Gas exchange-diffusion No circulatory system sexually Hermaphroditic
tape worm
is a flat worm parasite
Nematoda
Often parasitic - pinworm, hookworm, trichinella Cylindrical body, not segmented Alimentary canal No circulatory system
Rotifera
Lophotrochozoans pseudocoelomate
Mollusca
Eumetazoa, Bilateria, Protostomia, Lophotrochozoa 3 components of body plan: foot, mantle, visceral mass of organs
Annelida
invertebrate phylum of segmented worms, such as earthworms, have hemoglobin
Arthropoda
insects, spiders, mites, crabs shrimp, and centipedes
