DEFINITION 10 In animals, the set of morphological and developmental traits that define a grade level (level of organizational complexity)

DEFINITION 17 An evolutionary trend toward the concentration of sensory equipment on the anterior end of the body TERM 18

Germ Layers

DEFINITION 18 Three main layers that form the various tissues and organs of an animal body TERM 19

Ectoderm

DEFINITION 19 The outer most of the three primary germ layers in animal embryos; gives rise to the outer covering and in some phyla, the nervous system, inner ear and lens of the eye. TERM 20

Endoderm

DEFINITION 20 The inner most of the three primary germ layers in animal embryos; lines the archenteron and gives rise to the liver, lungs, pancreas, and lining of the digestive tract

Archenteron

The endoderm lined cavity, formed during the gastrulation process, that develops into the digestive tract of an animal TERM 22

Mesoderm

DEFINITION 22 The middle primary germ layer of early embryo; develops into the notochord, the lining of the coelom muscles, skeleton, gonads, kidneys, and most of the circulatory system TERM 23

Triploblastic

DEFINITION 23 Having three germ layers TERM 24

Body Cavity

DEFINITION 24 A fluid filled space separating the digestive tract from the outer body wall TERM 25

Coelom

DEFINITION 25 A body cavity completely lined with mesoderm

Determinant Cleavage

A type of embryonic development in protostomes that rigidly casts the developmental fate of each embryonic cell very early. TERM 32

Radial Cleavage

DEFINITION 32 A type of embryonic development in deuterstomes in which the planes of cell division that transforms the zygote into a ball of cells are either parallel or perpendicular to the polar axis, thereby aligning tiers of cells one above the other. TERM 33

Indeterminate Cleavage

DEFINITION 33 A type of of embryonic development in deuterostomes, in which each cell produced by early cleavage divisions retains the capacity to develop into a complete embryo TERM 34

Schizocoelous

DEFINITION 34 Patter of formation of the body cavity, common in protostome development in which initially solid masses of mesoderm split, forming the body cavity. TERM 35

Enterocoelous

DEFINITION 35 Patter of formation of the body cavity common in deuterstome development, in which the mesoderm buds from the wall of the archenteron and hollows, forming the body cavity.

Blastospore

The opening of the archenteron in the gastrula that develops into the mouth in protostome and the anus is deuterstomes TERM 37

Ecdysozoan

DEFINITION 37 Member of a group of animal phyla with protostomes development that some systematists hypothesize form a clade, including many molting animals. TERM 38

Lophophore

DEFINITION 38 A horseshoe shape or circular fold of the body wall bearing ciliated tentacles that surround the mouth. TERM 39

Tochophore Larva

DEFINITION 39 Distinctive larval stage observed in certain invertebrates, including some annelids and molluscs. TERM 40

Invertebrates

DEFINITION 40 Animals that lack a backbone

Amoebocysts:

An amoeba-like cell that moves by pseudopodia found in most animals; depending on the species, may digest and distribute food, dispose of wastes, form skeletal fibers, fight infections, and change into other cell types TERM 47

Hermaphrodite

DEFINITION 47 An individual that functions as both male and female in sexual reproduction by producing both sperm and eggs. TERM 48

Gastrovascular Cavity

DEFINITION 48 An extensive pouch that serves as the site of extracellular digestion and a passageway to disperse materials throughout most of an animal's body TERM 49

Polyp

DEFINITION 49 The sessile variant of the cnidarian body plan. The alternate form is the medusa. TERM 50

Medusa

DEFINITION 50 The floating, flattened, mouth-down version of the cnidarian body plan. The alternate form is the polp

Cnidocyte

A specialized cell for which the phylum Cnidaria is named; contains a capsule containing a fine coiled thread, which, when discharged, functions in defense and prey capture. TERM 52

Nematocyst

DEFINITION 52 A stinging, capsule-like organelle in a cnidocyte TERM 53

Planarian

DEFINITION 53 A free-living flatworm found in unpolluted ponds and streams TERM 54

Alimentary Canal

DEFINITION 54 A digestive tract consisting of a tube running between the mouth and anus. TERM 55

Parthenogenesis

DEFINITION 55 A type of reproduction in which females produce offspring from an unfertilized egg.

Visceral

One of the three main parts of a mollusc, containing most of the internal organs TERM 62

Mantle

DEFINITION 62 A fold of tissue in molluscs that drapes over the visceral mass and may secrete a shell TERM 63

Mantle Cavity

DEFINITION 63 A water filled chamber that houses the gills, anus, and excretory pores of a mollusc. TERM 64

Radula

DEFINITION 64 A strap-like rasping organ used by many molluscs during feeding. TERM 65

DEFINITION 65 Distinctive larval stage observed in certain invertebrates, including some annelids and molluscs

Torsions

A characteristic of gastropods in which the visceral mass rotates during development TERM 67

Ammonite

DEFINITION 67 A shelled cephalopod that was the dominant invertebrate predator for millions of years until the end of the cretaceous period. TERM 68

Cuticle

DEFINITION 68 (1) A waxy covering on the surface of stems and leaves that acts as an adaptation to prevent desiccation of terrestrial plants. (2) The exoskeleton of an arthropod, consisting of layers of protein and chitin that are variously modified for different function. (3) A tough coat that covers the body of a nematode. TERM 69

DEFINITION 69 A segmented coelomate with chitinous exoskeleton, jointed appendages, an a body formed of distinct groups of segments. TERM 70

Trilobites

DEFINITION 70 An extinct arthropod with pronounced segmentation and appendages that varied little from segment to segment.

Hexapod

An insect or closely related wingless, six-legged arthropod TERM 77

Crustaceans

Incomplete Metamorphosis

DEFINITION 82 A type of development in certain insects, such as grasshoppers, in which the young (called nymphs) resemble adults but are smaller and have different body proportions. The nymph goes through a series of molts, each time looking more and more like an adult, than the larva. TERM 83

Complete Metamorphosis

DEFINITION 83 The transformation of a larva into an adult that looks very differently and often functions very differently in its environment, than the larva. TERM 84
