Things to Study for First Exam

QuestionAnswer
What is the anatomy of a sponge? Ostium, Osculum, and spongocoel
What are the major animal phyla? phylum Porifera, phylum Cnidaria, phylum Platyhelminthes, phylum Nematoda, phylum Annelida, phylum Arthropoda, phylum Mollusca, phylum Echinodermata, phylum Chordata
Kingdom Protista subkingdom protozoa
phylum sarcomastigophora subphylum sarcodina
What are the six classifications of humans? notochord, dorsal hollow nerve cord, perforated pharyngeal gill slits, ventral heart, thyroxin synthesis, post anal tail
Cilia eyelash like structures that move back and forth
phagocytosis the ingestion of food by surrounding it then storing in within a pocket
cell anatomy cell membrane, cytoplasm, nuclear membrane, nucleoplasm, nucleolus
cell organelles DNA, mitochondria
taxonomy the description, identification, naming, and classification of organisms.
What are the twelve -ologies? Biology, zoology, cytology, histology, mammalogy, primatology, ornithology, paleontology, herpetology ichthyology, entomology, endocrinology
Biology the study of life
Zoology the study of animals
Cytology the study of cells
Histology the study of tissues
Mammalogy the study of mammals
Primatology the study of primates
Ornithology the study of birds
Paleontology the study of fossils
Herpetology the study of reptiles
Ichthology the study of fish
Entomology the study of insects
Endocrinology the study of hormones
Binomial Nomenclature giving two names to an organism
Hierarchy of Taxonomy Kingdom, phylum, subphylum, class, order, family, genus, species
Classes of Cnidaria class Hydrozoa, class Scyphozoa, class Anthozoa
class Hydrozoa has a dominant polyp stage, has 1800 spp., produces nematocysts with cnidocil
class Scyphozoa has a dominant medusa stage, produces nematocysts without cnidocil, has 360 spp.
class Anthozoa only has a polyp stage, produces nametocycsts without cnidocil, its polyp is heavier than the hydrozoan polyp, has 6500+ spp.
pseudopodia a temporary protrusion of the protoplasm, as of certain protozoans, usually serving as an organ of locomotion or prehension.
types of larvae amphiblastula and planulae
nematocysts an organ in coelenterates consisting of a minute capsule containing an ejectable thread that causes a sting.
Tissues Squamous epithelium, Connective tissue, Vascular tissue, Muscular tissue, Nervous tissue, Reproductive tissue
monoecious having both male and female organs in the same individual; hermaphroditic.
dioecious having the male and female organs in separate and distinct individuals; having separate sexes.
phylum Platyhelminthes classes class Turbellaria, class Trematoda, class Cestoda
phylum Platyhelminthes has bilateral symmetry
sexual dimorphism biology differences in appearance between the males and females of a species
radial symmetry a basic body plan in which the organism can be divided into similar halves by passing a plane at any angle along a central axis, characteristic of sessile and bottom-dwelling animals, as the sea anemone and starfish.
bilateral symmetry a basic body plan in which the left and right sides of the organism can be divided into approximate mirror images of each other along the midline.
spongin a fibrous horny protein that forms the skeletal framework of the bath sponge and related sponges
gastrodermis the inner cell layer of the body of an invertebrate.
epidermis the outermost living layer of an animal, usually composed of one or more layers of cells.
cell a usually microscopic structure containing nuclear and cytoplasmic material enclosed by a semipermeable membrane and, in plants, a cell wall; the basic structural unit of all organisms.
organ a grouping of tissues into a distinct structure, as a heart or kidney in animals or a leaf or stamen in plants, that performs a specialized task.
plylum Porifera classes class Calcerea, class Hexactinellida, class Demospongia
How many layers of cells are present in sponges? 6 - 7 layers
What advantages do sponges have over the Protozoans? They divide their chores up to get through life
What are the parts of a light microscope? ocular lenses, nosepiece, objective lenses, slide clip, mechanical stage, iris diaphragm, lamp, coarse focus knob, slide positioning knobs, fine focus knob, power switch, lamp power adjustment
Ocular lenses Used to view an object on a slide
Nosepiece used to spin around the different powers of the objective lenses
slide clips holds the slide in place
mechanical stage used to place the slide on
iris diaphragm used as a mirror of the object to be seen
lamp brightens the objects and makes is easier to see
slide positioning knobs used to move to slide back or forth and left or right
power switch turns on the light microscope
lamp power adjustment dims or brightens the light
What is the function of Dissecting Microscope? To closely view an animal while dissecting it
