Invertebrates And Vertebrates Review Flashcards

the characteristics of animals

a group of cells working together to perform the same task

a group of tissues working together to perform the same task

the type of tissue that covers surfaces

the type of tissue that contracts

the type of tissue that carries information

the type of tissue that connects an supports

the upper cell layer that makes up skin, nerves, and senses

the middle cell layer that makes up muscles and bones

the lower cell layer that lines the digestive tract

the only animals that lack symmetry

the type of symmetry in which a cutin any direction will result in 2 equalsides

the type of symmetry in which an organism is only symmetrical in one direction

an advantage of being bilaterally symmetrical

the 8 phyla of invertebrates

the phylum made up of sponges

the derivative trait of sponges

the type of metabolic process carried out by sponges

the top hole of the sponge where water exits

the amoeba-like cells found in sponges that digest food particles

the flagellated cells in sponges that stir up water currents

the hard pieces of calcium carbonate or silica that form the sponge’s skeleton

the phylum with organisms that sting, made up of jellyfish, sea anemone, and coral

the derivative trait of Cnidarians

the type of metabolic process carried out by cnidarians

the two main cnidarian Shapes

the phylum made up of flatworms

the derivative traits of flatworms

the development of a head with senses

an organism whose only body cavity is the gut, who has eye spots, and who is capable of regeneration when cut

the phylum made of roundworms

the derivative traits of roundworms

the phylum made up of segmented worms

the derivative traits of annelids

the body cavity that holds the organs

the benefits of the coelom

the phylum made up of soft-bodied coelomates

the derivative trait of mollusks

the organ that drapes over a mollusk’s body and secretes its shell

the three types of mollusks

the phylum with the greatest number of species that have a hardened exoskeleton and jointed legs

the arthropods with 2 segments and 8 legs

the arthropods with branching legs that can live in either land or water

the arthropods that have 3 segments and 6 legs

the herbivorous arthropods with 2 pairs of legs per segment and stink glands

the carnivorous arthropods that have 1 pair of legs per segment

the invertebrates with spiny skin, closest invertebrate to chordates

the derivative trait of echidnoderms

the phylum made up of organisms with a notochord, a nerve chord, and pharyngeal slits

the chordates with a backbone that contains the notochord

the bones in a vertebrate’s backbone

the organisms that have body temperature similar to thatof their environment

the organisms that have can regulate their body temperature regardless Of their environment

the ectothermic vertebrates that live in the water

the type of heart that fish have

the three types of fish

the ectothermic vertebrates that live in both the water and on land

the type of heart that amphibians have

the 4 types of amphibians

the first land ectothermic vertebrates, that have lungs And scaly skin

the parts of reptiles that have adapted to conserve moisture

the 6 types of reptiles

the first endothermic vertebrates, that have feathers

the short, fluffy feathers on birds meant to trap the heat

the long feathers on a bird’s body and wings

the type of heart that mammals and birds have

the bird’s stomach

the endothermic vertebrates covered in hair whose young are nourished after birth with milk secreted by the mammary glands

the three types of mammals
