| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| true or false: metazoans are a clade | true |
| metazoans are heterotrophic multicellular eukaryotes that undergo embryogenesis by way of tissue layering. | SO IMPORTANT! |
| what process is the formation of embryonic germ layers? | gastrulation |
| four phyla of Metazoa | Cnidaria, Ctenophora, Placozoa, and Porifera |
| aquiferous system | the water current channel system |
| choanocytes | all purpose cells that do pumping, feeding, gas exchange, and waste expulsion |
| pinacoderm | the outer surface cells of a sponge make up the pinacoderm |
| pinacocytes, | the outer surface cells |
| choanocytes | flagellated cells |
| vanes | long flagellum has a basal, bilaterally arranged pair of wing-shaped projections |
| collar | microvilli containing actin filaments, the microvilli being connected to one another via a thin membrane composed of a meshwork of extracellular glycoprotein (the glycocalyx mesh |
| exopinacoderm | a simple external sheet |
| exopinacocytes | cells on the external sheet |
| syconoid condition | the choanoderm may become folded |
| asconoid condition | adult Calcarea may retain a largely unfolded, simple, and continuous choanoderm |
| atrium | The thin walls enclose a central cavity |
| ectosome | the mesohyl may thicken and appear to have two layers. The outer layer - contains an accumulation of spicules that are different from those found in the interior portion of the mesohyl. |
| prosopyles | the openings from the channels to choanocyte chambers |
| excurrent canals | carry water from the choanocyte chambers to the oscula |
| in a sponge, where are velocities the lowest | choanoderms |
| trabecular syncytium | The main tissue of the hexactinellid |
