CLEAVAGE
|
the succession of rapid cell divisions with out significant growth during early embryonic development that converts the zygote to a ball of cells
|
|
BLASTULA
|
a hollow ball of cells that marks the end of the cleavage stage during early embryonic development in animals
|
|
GASTRULATION
|
in animal develpment, a series of call and tissue movements in which the blastula-stage embryo folds inward, producing a 3-layered embryo, the gastrula
|
|
GASTRULA
|
an embryonic stage in animal development encompassing the formation of 3 layers; ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm
|
|
LARVA
|
a free-living, sexually immature form in some animal life cycles that may differ fromt he adult animal in morphology, nutrition and habitat
|
|
METAMORPHOSIS
|
a developmental transformation that turns an animal larva into either an adult-like stage that is not yet sexually mature or an adult.
|
|
EDIACARAN BIOTA
|
an early group of soft-bodied, multicellular eurkaryotes known from fossils that range in age from 565 million to 545 million years old
|
|
CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION
|
a relatively brief time in geologic history when large, hard-bodied forms of animals with most of the major body plans known today appeared in the fossil record. This burst of evolutionary change occured about 535-525 million years ago
|
|
BODY PLAN
|
in animals, a set of morphological and developmental traits that are integrated into a functional whole- the living animal
|
|
RADIAL SYMMETRY
|
symmetry in which the body is shaped like a pie or barrel and can be divided into mirror-image halves by any plane through its central axis
|
|
BILATERAL SYMMETRY
|
body symmetry in which a central longitudinal plane divides the body into 2 equal but opposite halves
|
|
DORSAL
|
pertaining to the top of an animal with radial or bilateral symmetry
|
|
VENTRAL
|
pertaining to the underside, or bottom, of an animal with bilateral symmetry
|
|
ANTERIOR
|
pertaining to the front, or head, of a bilaterally symmetrical animal
|
|
POSTERIOR
|
pertaining to the rear, or tail end, of a bilaterally symmetrical animal
|
|
CEPHALIZATION
|
an evolutionary trend toward the concentration of sensory equipment at the anterior end of the body
|
|
ECTODERM
|
the outermost of the 3 primary germ layers in animal embryos; gives rise to the outer covering and, in some phyla, the nervous system, inner ear and lens of the eye
|
|
ENDODERM
|
the innermost of the 3 primary germ layers in animal embryos; lines the archenteron and gives rise to the liver, pancreas, lungs and the lining of the digestive tract in species that have these structures
|
|
ARCHENTERON
|
the endoderm-lined cavity, formed during gastrulation, that develops into the digestive tract of an animal
|
|
DIPLOBLASTIC
|
having 2 germ layers
|
|
MESODERM
|
the middle primary germ layer in an animal embryo; develops into the notochord, the lining of the coelom, muscles, skeleton, gonads, kidney and most of the circulatory system in species that have these structures
|
|
TRIPLOBLASTIC
|
possessing 3 germ layers: the endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. Most eumetazoans are triploblastic. All animals are triplobastic
|
|
BODY CAVITY
|
a fluid- or air- filled space between the digestive tract and the body wall
|
|
COELOM
|
a body cavity lined by tissue derived only from mesoderm
|
|
COELOMATE
|
an animal that possesses a true coelom
|
|
PSEUDOCOELOMATE
|
an animal whose body cavity is lined by tissue derived from mesoderm and endoderm
|
|
ACOELOMATE
|
a solid-bodied animal lacking a cavity between the gut and outer body wall
|
|
PROTOSTOME DEVELOPMENT
|
in animals, a developmental mode distinguished by the development of the mouth from the blastopore; often also characterized by sprial cleavage and by the body cavity forming when solid masses of mesoderm split
|
|
DEUTEROSTOME DEVELOPMENT
|
in animals, a developmental mode distinguished by the development of the anus fromthe blastopore; often also characterized by radial cleavage and by the body cavity forming as outpockets of mesodermal tissue
|
|
SPIRAL CLEAVAGE
|
a type of embryonic development in protostomes in which the planes of cell division that transform the zygote into a ball of cells are diagonal to the vertical axis of the embryo; as a result, the cells of each tier sit in the grooves between cells of adjacent tiers
|
|
DETERMINATE CLEAVAGE
|
a type of embryonic development in protostomes that rigidly casts the developmental fate of each embryonic cell very early
|
|
RADIAL CLEAVAGE
|
a type of embryonic development in deuterostomes in which the planes of cell division that transform the zygote into a ball of cells are either parallel or perpendicular to the vertical axis of the embryo, thereby aligning tiers of cells one above the other
|
|
INDETERMINATE CLEAVAGE
|
a type of embryonic development in deuterostomes in which each cell produced by early cleavage divisions retains the capacity to develop into a complete embryo
|
|
BLASTOPORE
|
in a gastrula, the opening of the archenteron that typically develops into the anus in deuterostomes and the mouth in protostomes
|
|
ECDYSOZOAN
|
member of a group of animal phyla identified as a clade by molecular evidence; many are molting animals
|
|
LOPHOTROCHOZOAN
|
member of a group of animal phyla indentified as a clade by molecular evidence
