What do the phyla in the superphylum Cycloneuralia have in common?
They all have a ring of nerve tissue around the esophogus
Identify the 3 disadvantages of the Arthopod skeleton.
Identify the functions of the arthropod exoskelton
FOUR
What are the function of pharyngeal slits in the Chordata
Openings in the pharynx to allow for exchange of water
What evolutionary changes distinguish the Cephalaspidomorphi from the Myxini?
The Myxini do not have vetebrae.
The Myxini are the only are only lineage to have to have all 5 distinctive traits.
MAJOR INNOVATION : COELOM
4 main functions
fluid filled cavity lined by an internal membrane derived from the mesoderm. FUNCTIONS:
MAJOR INNOVATION : ARTHROPOD SKELETON
three
Explain how a pseudocoelom is anatomically different from a coelom.
The pseudocoelom has no connecting mesoderm.
Explain how a pseudocoelom is functionally different from a coelom.
The pseudocoelom has all the same functions as the coelom except for the organ attachment by mesentaries.
What is the body symmetry of the Echinodermata. Explain why the phylum is placed in the Bilateria.
The larval stage of the echinoderms is bliateral though the adults have radial symmetry
How did jaws evolve in the Vertebrata.
After the Class Cephalospidomorphi.
Larger skeletal rods from further back eventually fused to the cranium.
Viviparity
Live birth - three membranes became the layers of the placenta
How did animals colonize land ( constraints )
FOUR
Advantages of terrestrial habitats.
FOUR
4 trends in the evolution of the vetebrate body plans
What are the functions of the vertebrae?
THREE
The vermiform body design
TWO
Trilobitomorpha - what are they apart of
Arachnata, all marine ocean floors, 3 lobes in their body, extinct.
Mandibulata
- includes the subphylya crustacea and tracheata.
Advantages of flight
FOUR
Disadvantages of wings
FIVE
Class Entognatha
Limitation of the trachea?
If the trachea get too long, the air within can no longer get expelled to be replaced with fresh air, limiting body size.
Advantage of the trachea.
Trachea bring O2 directily to cells, and take co2 providing for very fast gas exchange.
