characters of Phylum Cycliophora
part of Phylum Lophotrochazoa, only three species, live on mouthparts of lobsters and feed on bacteria/food dropped by host
how Cycliophora stay adhered to host
adhesive disk on the base of the stalk
similarities between Phyla Entoprocta and Endoprocta
stalked body with cup surrounded by ciliated tentacles, vaguely resemble cnidarian polyps, simple nerve ring, filter feeders
characters specific to Phylum Entoprocta
about 150 species, microscopic, colonial, u-shaped gut inside of cup, mouth and anus both inside of tentacle column, have trochophore larva
Entoprocta are/aren’t lophophores (why)
aren’t. Entoproct tentacles are part of the ectoderm with no internal coelom
reproductive method(s) for Entoprocts
budding (asexual) or sexual
characters specific to Phylum Ectoprocta
about 4000 species, both freshwater and marine, colonial, very small zooids, long u-shaped gut, anus outside of tentacle column
Ectoprocta are/aren’t lophophores (why)
are. coelom extends into Ectoproct tentacles
reproductive method(s) for Ectoprocts
sexual reproduction (individuals are hermaphrodites)
organs present/absent in Ectoprocts
no respiratory, vascular, or excretory organs, nerve ring around pharynx
lophophore
horseshoe-shaped ring of ciliated tentacles found in Phyla Ectoprocta, Brachiopoda, and Phoronida
Phyla included within Phylum Polyzoa
Cycliophora, Endoprocta, and Ectoprocta
Phyla included within Phylum Brachiozoa
Brachiopoda and Phoronida
Phylum known as lamp shells
Phylum Brachiopoda
characters of Brachiopoda
about 300 species, superficially look like clams but are quite different, all marine, all filter-feeders, shells/valves move independently of one another
in Brachiopods, shells/valves represent the ____ and ____ parts of the body
top; bottom
