QuestionAnswer
vertebrate an animal that has a backbone
heterotroph an animal that obtains food by eating other organisms or their byproducts
exoskeleton a hard external supporting structure for the bodies of some animals
hydrostatic skeleton a fluid filled cavity under pressure that gives support to soft bodied animals
invertebrate an animal that does not have a backbone
endoskeleton a hard, internal supporting structure made of bone and catilage
cleavage in all animals except sponges the fertilized egg immediately beings to divide. it is the first series of cell divisions that occurs
blastula further cell division result in the formation of a hollow ball of cells beings to fold into this
gastrulation the hollow ball of cells begins to fold in to form a cup shape this is the process of that
protostomes the cup of cells continue to divide. the open side of the 'cup' is called the blastopore. an animal whose mouth develops near the blastopore, such as snail, an earthworm, or an insect, is called this
deuterostomes in animals, such as humans, the mouth develops from cells on the end opposite the blastopore these animals are called this
coelom contains and protects the internal organs
false an example of a deuterostome is an insect
true an example of a protostome is an earthworm
true an example of an animal with a coelom is a human
cleavage the series of cell divisions that occur immediately after an egg is fertilized
heterotroph an animal that obtains food by eating other organisms or their byproducts
hydrostatic skeleton a cavity that is filled with water and that has a support function
coelom a body cavity that contains the internal organs
exoskeleton a hard, external, supporting structure that develops from the ectoderm
gastrulation the formation of embryonic germ layers
gastrovasular cabity a cavity that serves both digestive and circulatory purposes in some animals
amniotic egg a type of egg that is produced by reptiles, birds, and some mammals that contains a large amount of yolk
deuterostome an animal whose mouth does not derive from the blastopore
blastula the stage of an embryo before gastrulation
cephalization the concentration of nerve tissue and sensory organs at the anterior end of an organism
endoskeleton an internal skeleton made of bone and cartilage
notochord a stiff rod that develops along the back of an embryo
protostome the embryonic blastopore develops into the mouth
therapsid a member of the extinct order of mammal like reptiles that likely gave rise to mammals
