Define "cephalization." (LAB Topic 7- Animal Diversity: Proifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, and Nematoda)

The concentration of sense organs, nervous control, etc., at the anterior end of the body, forming a head and brain, both during evolution and in the course of an organisms' development.

Define "spleen." (LAB Topic 11: Vertebrate Anatomy I: Tissues and the Digestive and Urogenital Systems)

The dark organ located in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen that acts as a blood filtration system and a reservoir for reserves of blood.

What are 3 KEY differences between "protostome development" and "deuterostome development?" (LAB Topic 7- Animal Diversity: Proifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, and Nematoda)

The differences in the following characteristics: 1. Type of cleavage (early divisions of fertilized egg) 2. Manner of coelom (body cavity) formation 3. Origin of the mouth and anus

Define "cell division." (LAB Topic 9- Animal Diversity III: Echinodermata and Chordata)

The division of a cell into two daughter cells containing the same genetic material.

Define "jejuno-ileum." (LAB Topic 11: Vertebrate Anatomy I: Tissues and the Digestive and Urogenital Systems)

The extensive, highly convoluted portion of the small intestine that extends from the duodenum into the colon. Most digested food is absorbed into the walls of the jejuna-ileum.

Define "rectum." (LAB Topic 11: Vertebrate Anatomy I: Tissues and the Digestive and Urogenital Systems)

The final section of the large intestine, terminating at the anus.

Define "duodenum." (LAB Topic 11: Vertebrate Anatomy I: Tissues and the Digestive and Urogenital Systems) ***IMPORTANT!

The first portion of the small intestine that connects it to the stomach (i.e. the "bridge between the stomach and small intestine.")

Define "epiglottis." (LAB Topic 11: Vertebrate Anatomy I: Tissues and the Digestive and Urogenital Systems)

The flap of cartilage at the root of the tongue, which is depressed during swallowing to cover the opening of the windpipe; it covers the glottis during the swallowing process.

Define "mammary papilla." (LAB Topic 11: Vertebrate Anatomy I: Tissues and the Digestive and Urogenital Systems)

The fleshy bumps lining the lower abdominal area of the pig that resemble nipples; they are NOT nipples! This feature applies to BOTH male and female fetal pigs; they are located UNDER the urogenital opening in MALE pigs and ABOVE the anal urogenital opening in FEMALE pigs.

Define "blastocoel." (LAB Topic 9- Animal Diversity III: Echinodermata and Chordata)

The fluid-filled cavity of a blastula.

Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Porifera Genus: Scypha (marine sponge)

The following diagram is a clear image of what specific organism (Identify the Domain, Kingdom, Species and Genus.)

This image represents the initial STARTING stage of unfertilization; it is an unfertilized egg with a germinal vesicle.

The following image shown demonstrates which stage of development in sea stars? (LAB Topic 9- Animal Diversity III: Echinodermata and Chordata)

Although not mentioned in the LAB manual, this stage depicts the early formation of the "Blastula," where the cell initially begins dividing into a multicellular organism. This stage is also referred to as the "16 cell stage," where the "morula" is formed.
