Study Notes
Embryonic Origin of Epithelial Tissue
- Epithelial tissue originates from the endoderm and ectoderm.
Characteristics of Animals
- Unique traits: reproduce sexually through internal fertilization, produce large numbers of eggs, and have a larval stage in their life cycle.
Development of Animals
- Animals can be grouped as viviparous, oviparous, or ovoviviparous depending on where eggs and embryos develop following internal fertilization.
- Indirect development is beneficial for producing a large number of eggs, larvae, and reproductive stages.
Origin of Multicellularity
- Sponges-first hypothesis suggests that sponges were the first multicellular animals, supported by the presence of miRNAs in sponges but not in ctenophores.
Ancestry of Animals
- The last common ancestor of all animals was likely a multicellular organism.
Body Structure of Animals
- Diploblasts have two embryonic tissue layers: ectoderm and endoderm.
- Non-bilaterian animals include three groups: sponges, cnidarians, and ctenophores.
