BIO 1500 chapter 20
1. Natural selection forces variations that increase relative -> It
promotes traits and behaviors that increase an organism's chances of survival
and reproduction in their environment: fitness
2. Evolutionary adaptations that enable survival vary among environments and
species but often result in a close match of to : form, function
3. Briefly differentiate between anatomy and physiology:: - Anatomy is the biological form
of an organism
- Physiology is the biological function performed by an organism
4. The range of animal form is limited by laws that govern strength,
diffusion, movement and heat exchange: physical
5. Terms describing positions in the bilateral body:
,- (front)
- (rear)
- (toward the back)
- (toward the stomach): anterior, posterior, dorsal, ventral
6. : structural and developmental characteristics that can
be used to identify a group of animals, such as a phylum
- Refers to the general similarities in development and form and function
among members of a particular phylum
, , or : Body plan
- Asymmetrical, radial, or bilateral
7. : animals with no pattern or symmetry; example
,sponge
: has an up-and-down orientation; any plane cut
along its longitudinal axis produces equal halves, but not a definite right or left
side (aquatic animals, especially organisms attaching themselves to a base)
: organism has an upper and lower component to it, but
a plane cut from front to back separates the animal into definite right and
, left sides (found in both land-based and aquatic animals; enables high level of
mobility): Asymmetrical, Radial symmetry,
Bilateral
8. Standing vertebrate can be divided into several planes. These include...: -
Midsagittal plane divides body in the middle, making two equal right and left halves.
- Frontal plane (coronal plane) separates the front from the back
- Transverse plane (horizontal plane) divides animal into upper and lower portions (cross section)
9. Vertebrate have several defined body cavities (TRUE OR FALSE): TRUE
10. There are 2 major cavities containing smaller cavities within them...: Dorsal cavity,
ventral cavity
11. Dorsal cavity contains the ...: cranial and the vertebral (or spinal) cavities
12. The ventral cavity includes:: - Thoracic cavity, includes: the pleural cavity around the lungs and the
pericardial cavity around the heart
- Abdominopelvic cavity, separated into the abdominal and pelvic cavities.
