  1. Comparing Evolutionary Trends in Invertebrates and Vertebrates (Chapters 29 + 33)

  2. Body Symmetry • Radial symmetry: extends from the center outwards • Ex: • Bilateral symmetry: sides are like mirror images (left and right) • Ex:

  3. Nervous System (Response) • Cephalization: concentration of sense organs and nerve cells in front (top) of the body • Evolution from ganglia (simple) to brain (complex)

  4. Body Cavity • coelom: area of body cavity between the body wall and the digestive cavity • Acoelomate: animal that lacks a body cavity • Ex: flatworm (planaria) • Pseudocoelomate: animal that has a partial body cavity • Ex: roundworm (earthworm)

  5. Embryo Development • Depends on what the blastopore develops into first… • Protostome: mouth develops first • Ex: invertebrates • Deuterostome: anus develops first • Ex: humans

  6. Feeding and Digestion • Intracellular digestion: digestion occurs inside the cells • Ex: sponges • Extracellular digestion: digestion occurs outside the cells in the digestive tract • Ex: arthropods

  7. Respiration (“Breathing”) • Gills: feathery structures that take in O2 from the water- usually close to the body surface • Ex: fish • Alveoli: tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchiole that increase surface area and act in gas exchange • Ex: humans

  8. Vertebrate Introduction • Notochord: long supporting rod that runs below the nerve cord • Chordate: organism that has a dorsal nerve cord

  9. Circulatory System • Open system: blood is not always in vessels • Ex: insects, clams • Closed system: blood always in vessels • Ex: humans

  10. Excretion • Roles: • control the output of waste products • Involved in water balance

  11. Movement and Support • Hydrostatic skeleton: move with water-filled cavity and accessory muscles • Ex: jellyfish • Exoskeleton: external skeleton on outside of body • Ex: insects • Endoskeleton: internal skeleton on inside of body • Ex: kangaroo

  12. Reproduction • External fertilization: eggs fertilized outside the body (ex: coral) • Internal fertilization: eggs fertilized inside the body (ex: humans) • Oviparous: eggs develop outside the mother (ex: snake) • Ovoviparous: embryo gets nutrients from the yolk of egg (ex: seahorses) • Viviparous: embryo gets nutrients from mom (ex: humans)

  13. Regulating Body Temp. • Ectotherm: body temp determined by environment- organism must • Ex: lizards • Endotherm: body temp controlled internally • Ex: dogs

  14. Reproductive Strategies • K selection: having only a few offspring but investing a lot of parental care into them • Ex: humans, gorillas • Occurs in crowded, competitive populations • r selection:having many offspring but investing very little parental care • Ex: carp fish • Occurs in populations that grow and change rapidly
