Insight learning

• Occurs when an animal applies something it has already learned to a new situation

• A sudden realization of a problem's solution

• A type of learning that occurs through reinforcement

• Learning that happens through observation of others

Vertebrate

• Animals that have a backbone (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals).

• Animals that live in water and have gills.

• Animals that are warm-blooded and have feathers.

• Animals that are cold-blooded and lay eggs.

Organ system

• A collection of tissues that perform a specific function

• A group of organs that work together to perform a specific function

• An individual organ that carries out a specific task

• A type of cell that performs a specific role

Invertebrates

• Animals that lack a backbone or vertebral column.

• Animals that have a backbone or vertebral column.

• Animals that can fly and swim.

• Animals that are exclusively found in water.

Acoelomates

• Other invertebrates lack a body cavity altogether

• Acoelomates have a true coelom

• Acoelomates are characterized by a segmented body plan

• Acoelomates possess a hydrostatic skeleton

Blastula

• A solid mass of cells formed during early embryonic development

• A hollow ball of cells that develops when a zygote undergoes a series of cell divisions

• A type of tissue that forms the outer layer of the skin

• A structure that provides nutrients to the developing embryo

Habituation

• A process by which an animal learns to respond to new stimuli

• A process by which an animal decreases or stops responding to stimuli that neither rewards nor harms it

• A method of training animals to perform tricks

• A technique used to enhance an animal's memory

Segmentation

• When an animal has some internal and external body parts that repeat on each side

• A process where animals develop distinct body regions

• The division of a body into segments for better movement

• A method of reproduction in certain species

Blastopore

• A structure that forms the mouth in some animals

• A digestive tract that only has a single opening to the outside

• A type of cell involved in embryonic development

• An organ responsible for gas exchange in aquatic animals

Endoderm

• The outermost germ layer; develops into the skin and nervous system.

• The middle germ layer; develops into muscles and bones.

• The innermost germ layer; develops into the linings of the digestive tract and much of the respiratory system.

• A layer that does not contribute to any organ systems.
