Integument

QuestionAnswer
chromatophores pigment cells, origins: neural crest ectoderm
dermatome mesoderm, dermis, outer most of epimere
sclerotome forms vertebrae around neural cord, inner most of epimere, mesoderm
myotome forms muscles of body wall, middle of epimere, mesoderm
epimere epi: above, mere: section; top section of mesoderm; sclerotome, myotome, and dermatome
mesomere middle section of mesoderm, urogenital system
hypomere hyo: below, mere: section, splanchnic and somatic portions of lateral plate mesoderm, form muscular structures in head area of craniates, coelom in between splanchnic and somatic portions
splanchnic visceral, guts and gills region, smooth muscle around guts and heart, hypomere
somatic body-rest of body, musculature that moves body, hypomere
periderm outer layer of ectoderm
stratum germinativum stratum: layer, germinate: grow, layer of ectoderm that generates new cells
basement membrane complex overlap of epidermis and dermis
basal lamina epidermis portion of basement membrane complex
basal lamella dermis portion of basement membrane complex
stratum compactum collagen (layered, woven); thick, fibrous network; stores elastic energy; dermis-in between basement membrane complex and hypodermis
hypodermis loose connective tissue, space between skin and underlying muscle, lowest part of dermis
mutual induction chemical communication between epidermis and dermis, causes skin to mature and form special structures
functional epithelial extinction formation of stratum corneum, horns, hair, feathers, molting, turtle dental ridges, beaks, reptile scales, nails, claws, baleen, tadpole jaws, agnathan teeth; forms at basement membrane complex and migrates up
stratum corneum very top layer of skin, filled with keratin, amniotes
delamination structures that form at basement membrane complex and migrate down; forms dermal bone, connective tissue elements, and osteoderms (bones imbedded in skin, ex: armadillos, crocodiles)
epithelial-mesenchymal interaction mesenchymal: loose mesodermyl tissue; aggregation of mesenchymal cells to form a papilla --> thickening --> specializations; forms teeth, dermal denticles (scales on sharks), fish scales, ceratotrichia/lepidotrichia (rays that support fins in chond/ostei)
granular glands a.k.a. club cells release alarm substance or poison, fish skin
Schrechstoef Schrech: fear, stoff: material, warms other fish of predators, alarm substance secreted from granular glands a.k.a. club cells
pterygopodial glands pterygo: fin, pod: foot, claspers: shark penus --> lubricates, internal fertilization
traumagenic organs spine of fish --> breaks off --> release poison
ichthyocrinotoxic fish release into water directly so sharks cannot close their jaws to bite them
photophores light generating glands, formed by bacteria or chemical reactions, feeding and species recognition
mental glands on chin of amphibian males --> inject hormones into females
sebaceous glands lubricates and waterproofs hair follicles, genitals, ears in mammals
neomorphic new, evolutionary structure (ex: mammary glands)
nuptual pads rough surface of hands of amphibians, males grabs female and they both release gametes into water, keratinized derivative
ecdysis shedding, functional epithelial extinction, 2 layers of epidermis
Oberhautchen layer outermost part of stratum corneum in amphibians, may be formed into microstructures --> geckos can climb upside down
alpha keratin flexible, hair, hinge range of lepidosaurs
beta keratin stiff, feathers, outside of hinges of lepidosaurs
setae long structures with spatula-like tips --> geckos and anoles hang onto walls
scutes big scales on the turtle shell, functional epithelial extincting (bones underneath: delamination)
vanes one half of feather (made up of barbs)
rachis middle part of a feather
barbs middle part of each part of the vane
barbules small parts that make up each barb, interlock to trap air --> insulation and floatation
contour feathers flight and shape, tall and thin
down feathers insulation, short and wide
pterylae feather tracks, dimples of where feathers were
aposematic feathers brightly colored
guard hairs mammalia, coarse and protective
underhairs mammalia, insulation
osteoderms scales in crocodiles, lizards, and sloths; delamination product
cycloid scales round; halecomorphs, some teleosts, and dipnoans
ctenoid scales u-shaped, some teleosts
melanosome concentrated: pale, dispersed: dark; organelle in cells that contains pigment granuals
melanophores brown and black chromatophores
xanthophore yellow chromatophore
erythrophore orange and red chromatophore
iridophore reflective, non-pigmented chromatophore

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
