  • Physiology
  • –Answer the scientific study of how various parts of organism function

  • Anatomy
  • –Answer the scientific study of body structure.· A structure without function has no relevance.· Evolutionary remnants do not need for the animal, they don't have a function therefore it's not needed.

  • Colloquial term for animals
  • –Answer non-humans animals

  • Diversity of animals
  • –Answer there are more than 1 million known animal species on earth · Diverse species –Answer betels are of the most diverse · Diverse habitats · Diverse characteristics

  • Organization of the animal Kingdom
  • –Answer · Animal kingdom is monophyletic o All taxa evolved from from a single common ancestor.· 35 recognized animal phyla Phyla can be grouped into clades based on shared characteristics. 1 / 3

SUBSCRIBE

  • Animals are
  • –Answer · Multicellular eukaryote that lacks cell wall · Heterotrph · Motile at least at some time in their lives (can move) · Reproduces asexually or sexually · Most have nerve and muscles

  • Clades
  • –Answer monophyletic groups that share a common ancestor

  • Multi-cellular Eukaryotes
  • –Answer · Most likely evolved from a colonial unicellular ances- tor during thePrecambrian era (700 mya) · Probably a flagellated protist Cells in these protists gradually became more specializedand layered.· Hypothesized evolution of a two-layered animal body plan Similar to modern colonial flagellated species- the choanoflagellates · Supported by morphological molecular evidence.· Some cells may have taken on specialized function.

  • Choanoflagellates
  • –Answer protists that are the closest living relatives of animals

  • Tissue stability in animals
  • –Answer ·is achieved through the extracellular matrix and cell junctions. (lipid bilayer)

  • Anchoring Junction
  • –Answer mechanically attaches adjacent cells to each other or to the basement membrane

  • Tight junction
  • –Answer a type of intercellular junction between animal cells that prevents the leakage of material through 2 / 3

SUBSCRIBE

the space between cells

  • Gap junction
  • –Answer A type of intercellular junction in animals that allows the passage of materials between cells.

  • Body Plan
  • –Answer a set of morphological and developmental traits · Embryonic development pattern · Germ cell layers · Body symmetry (radical or bilateral) · Body cavity type

  • Reproduction
  • –Answer · Germ line cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes.· Gametes fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote.· Asexual reproduction also occurs (budding in hydra (clone), fragmentation in echinoderms and parthenogenesisin insects, some reptiles)

  • Zygote cleavage
  • –Answer

  • Zygotes undergo rapid cell cycles with no significant growth. At this stage the cells become
  • smaller yet there is no growth.

  • Zygote develops into a compact mass of cells termed morula. Soild mass of all the cell
  • divisions

  • Morula derives into a hollow sphere of single layer of cells termed blastula. (hollow)
  • Protostomes
  • –Answer exhibit spiral cleavage - newly produced cells lie in the space between the cells immediately below them.

  • Each cells developmental path is determined as the cell is produced
