Study Notes
Closed Circulatory System
- Blood moves continuously through vessels separated from body fluids
Patterns of Development
- The basic Bilaterian pattern of development involves:
- Mitotic cell divisions (cleavage) of the egg forming a hollow ball of cells (blastula)
- Blastula indents to form a two-layer-thick ball with:
- Blastopore (opening to the outside)
- Archenteron (primitive body cavity)
Evolution of Development
- Bilaterians can be divided into two groups:
- Protostomes: develop the mouth first from or near the blastopore
- Deuterostomes: develop the anus first from the blastopore, and the mouth develops later from another region of the embryo
Differences between Protostomes and Deuterostomes
- Cleavage pattern of embryonic cells:
- Protostomes: spiral cleavage, new cells form to the right or left of previous cells
- Deuterostomes: radial cleavage, new cells form on top of previous cells
- Developmental fate of cells:
- Protostomes: determinate development, cell fate is determined early
- Deuterostomes: indeterminate development, cell fate is not determined until after several divisions
- Formation of the coelom:
- Protostomes: cells move apart to form coelom
- Deuterostomes: groups of cells pouch off to form coelom
Segmentation
- Evolution of segmentation provides two advantages:
- Allows for redundant organ systems in adults, such as in annelids
- Allows for more efficient and flexible movement, as each segment can move independently
- Segmentation appeared several times in animal evolution
Animal Phylogeny
- Traditional animal phylogeny was developed from morphological, molecular, life history, and other types of relevant data
- New phylogenies are constructed from molecular data, which may suggest different phylogenetic relationships
- Current phylogeny shares common ground with traditional phylogeny, but some parts are not firmly established
Classification of Animals
- Multicellular animals are divided into distinct phyla
- Animals are divided into two main branches:
- Porifera (Sponges): Parazoa - monophyletic
- Eumetazoa: Animals other than sponges
- Phylum Cnidaria branches off the evolutionary tree before Bilateria
- Phylum Bilateria includes deuterostomes and protostomes
Protostome Divisions
- Protostomes are divided into:
- Spiralians: grow by gradual addition to the body mass, have spiral cleavage, and include two main groups:
- Lophotrochozoa
- Platyzoa
- Ecdysozoans: animals that molt, including arthropods and many other phyla
- Spiralians: grow by gradual addition to the body mass, have spiral cleavage, and include two main groups:
