development
Kind of circulatory system in which
blood is contained inside vessels
closed
__________________
Organism that has a notochord,
pharyngeal pouches, a post anal tail,
and a dorsal nerve cord
______________________________
Chordate

Organism with a backbone ____________________
Organism whose blastopore
protostome
becomes its mouth
____________________
Thin membrane in the coelom that____________________
mesentery
connects and holds the internal organs
Together
Male frog holding onto the
female so sperm and eggs
amplexus
are released together _____________________
Maintaining the correct
osmoregulation
balance of water and ____________________
ions in the body

protects the brain; also called skull
Nerve cord surrounded by bone
or cartilage; also called a
Spinal cord

Joining of an egg & sperm inside
the female’s body
____________________

Kind of development in which
offspring hatch as larva and must
undergo metamorphosis to become
adults

__________________
This kind of body organ works automatically
without thinking about it ______________
autonomic
The concentration of nervous tissue
and sensory organs in the anterior
end of an animal

In animals the body plan where the
left and right sides are mirror images Bilateral
symmetry

____________________
This part smoothes the flow of blood
leaving the ventricle
__________________
Conus arteriosus
These small thin walled blood vessels
connect arteries and veins and are the
place where gases, wastes, & nutrients
are exchanged
__________________
capillaries
arteries
Blood vessels that carry blood ________________________
away from the heart
Membrane that covers and protects
Nictitating membrane
a frog’s eye while swimming ______________________
Area in a fish’s brain that receives and
processes info from visual, auditory,
Optic tectum
and lateral line systems
_______________________________
Posterior part of the brain that controls
balance and muscle coordination

to the heart
veins

Vertebral
Nerve cord surrounded by bone or
Cartilage; also called a spinal cord _________________
column
Posterior part of the brain that integrates
Info from the other brain parts and where
Higher brain functions like memory, learning,
cerebrum
Reasoning, and problem solving occur _____________
Collecting chamber that receives blood
returning to the heart from the body
Before it enters the atrium __________________________
Sinus venosus
Part of the brain that controls the
autonomic internal organs __________________________
Medulla oblongata
and relays sensory info from body
The concentration of nervous and
sensory organs in the anterior end
of an animal
_____________________________
cephalization
Small fingerlike extensions inside the
intestine that increase surface area
villi

First section of intestine _______________________
duodenum
nearest stomach
The energy molecule is stored
in the liver ________________________
glycogen
This substance is made by the pancreas
and causes cells to release glucose into
glucagon
the bloodstream.
