Retrogressive Metamorphosis

Retrogressive Metamorphosis in Urochordates Metamorphosis is a change from the juvenile to adult stage in which larval stage is quite different from the adult stage. In retrogressive metamorphosis the larva possesses advanced characters which are lost during the development and the adult is either sedentary or degenerated with primitive characters. Urochordate adults, being sedentary show degenerative characters while the free swimming tadpole larva shows advanced chordate characters which are lost during metamorphosis. Parasitic crustaceans, like Sacculina and copepod parasites and stylopids and scale insects (Insecta) also show retrogressive metamorphosis. Retrogressive Metamorphosis in Herdmania The tadpole larva of Herdmania is only 1-2 mm long when it hatches out of the egg. It does not feed and hence has only 3 hours of survival during which it has to swim about in search of a suitable substratum for attachment. The larva needs advanced features for its free swimming existence,...

CANAL SYSTEM IN Porifera

Image
Canal system in Porifera (sponges) Body of all sponges is the perforated by large number of apertures through which water enters Inside body and flows through a system of criss-crossing canals collectively forming the canal system which is a characteristic feature of poriferans. Following types of canal systems are found in sponges: Ascon type, with flagellated spongocoel Sycon type, with flagellated radial canals Leucon type, with flagellated chambers Rhagon type, with conical shape and broad base ASCON TYPE This is the simplest type of canal system and is found in  Leucosolenia  and other homocoela. Ostia are present on the surface of body and lead directly into the spongocoel, which is lined by flagellated choanocyte cells. Spongocoel opens to the outside through a narrow circular opening, the  osculum  located at the distal free end of the sponge body. Water enters through ostia into spongocoel and goes out of body through the  osculum . SYCO...

Animal physiology. Adaptation and Environment

GET Animal physiology. Adaptation and Environment Author(s): Knut Schmidt-Nielsen Description: This book is about animals and their problems. It is not only about how animals function, but about the problems of living and how animals solve them. It is also about aspects of physiology that I find particularly fascinating or interesting. The book is written for the student who wants to know what animals do and how they do it. The text deals with the familiar subjects of physiology: respiration, circulation, digestion, and soon. These subjects are treated in thirteen chapters, arranged according to major environmental features: oxygen, food and energy, temperature, and water. I consider this arrangement important, for there is no way to be a good physiologist, or a good biologist for that matter, without understanding how living organisms function in their environment. The book is elementary and the needed background is minimal. The first edition of Animal Physiology has been wi...
