STUDY GUIDE ZOOLOGY EXAM 1- UWRF BIO 230
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
/ zoology - Answer-the study of animals
/.animal - Answer-Eukaryotic (has cell nucleus), multicellular, no cell walls, motile
(mobile) heterotrophic organisms, ingestion feeders (swallow food).
/.Taxonomy - Answer-The science of classifying organisms and naming them
/.phylogenetics - Answer-the study of evolutionary relationships among species,
creating ancestral trees to make sense of taxonomy
/.Linnaueus - Answer-creator of first classified system (two-kingdom system)
/.Taxonomy Hierarchy - Answer-Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family,
Genus, Species
/.radial symmetry - Answer-Symmetry about a central axis. ex. jellyfish, starfish
/.Segmentation - Answer-the division of the body of an organism into a series of similar
parts
/.Bauplan - Answer-general body plan of a group of animals. reflects evolutionary
development through animal history
/.primitive - Answer-meaning "very much like the ancestor"
/.opposite of primitive - Answer-relatively "derived"
/.what an animal needs to "make a living" - Answer-energy. needed to survive, grow,
reproduce.
/.Homeostasis - Answer-maintenance of internal stability. ex. pH, body temp
/.Organ System: Skeletal - Answer-Functions:
-provides support and protection for other tissues
-stores calcium and other minerals
-forms blood cells
Major Organs:
-bones
-cartilages
, -associated ligaments
-bone marrow
/.Organ System: Muscular - Answer-Movement & posture
facial expression, produces heat, antagonistic pairs
/.Organ System: Integumentary - Answer-Functions:
-Protects against environmental hazards
-Helps regulate body temperature
-Provides sensory information
Major Organs:
-Skin
-Hair
-Sweat glands
/.Organ System: Digestive - Answer-functions:
-digestion: breaking down food physically and chemically (enzymes work in lower pH,
controls pH in stomach)
-absorption
Major organs: esophagus, stomach, intestines
-accessory digestive glands-salivary, liver & gallbladder
/.Organ System: Nervous - Answer-Nervous:
-Major organs: brain spinal cord, peripheral nerves, sense organs.
-Functions: Directs immediate responses to stimuli. Coordinates or moderates activities
of other organ systems. Provides and interprets sensory information about external
conditions.
/.Organ System: Endocrine - Answer-Hormones secreted by glands
regulate growth, reproduction, metabolism
ex. pituitary, thyroid,ovary, thymus, pancreas, testis
/.Organ System: Circulatory - Answer-material transport system. transports hormones,
waste material, nutrients
/.Organ System: Lymphatic - Answer-returns fluids to blood vessels, cleanses the blood,
involved in immunity.
-one way system
-"tree" (branches down)
- takes excess fluids from capillary beds
-recycles fluid
/.Organ System: Excretory/ Osmoregulatory - Answer-Excretory: metabolic waste=
nitrogenous waste
Osmoregulatory: maintaining proper solute concentration (kidneys, having certain cells
to take up and excrete solutes)
