28 invertebrates Flashcards
key features of lophotrochozoans (4)
- having a lophophore: feeding structure with tentacles + respiration
- trochophore larvae: larval stage, unique shape, band of cilia that helps with swimming and feeding
- triploblastic
- bilaterally symmetrical
Phylums of lophotrochozoans
mollusks (snails, clams, octopuses)
annelids (earthworms, leeches)
what is a blastocoel
fluid filled cavity/space in blastula/blastocyst
what is gastrulation
blastula forming into the gastrula, the blastocyst is reorganized into 2 or 3 layered embryo, sets up cell differentiation and basic axes of body
what does each germ layer develop into?
Ectoderm: Epidermis, nervous system
Endoderm: digestive and respiratory organs, other associated organs like liver and pancreas
Mesoderm: all tissues of the body, connective tissue, muscles, bones, bone marrow, HEART
what are basal animals and name the 4 phylums + examples of each phylum
basal animals are usually diploblastic with simple bodies, and branched off early in evolutionary history, so they retain characteristics of their common ancestor.
1. Porifera: sponges, no true specialized tissues or organs
2. Ctenophera: comb jellies
3. Cnidaria: sea anenomes, jellyfish, corals
4. Placozoa: marine blob
Lophotrochozoa: Phylum Ectoprocta (bryozoans/moss animals) (5)
- no head, sessile suspension feeding w/ lophophore
- marine
- colonial
- mineralized exoskeleton
- U-shaped alimentary tract
Lophotrochozoa: Phylum Brachiopoda (Brachiopods/ lampshell) (3)
- no head, suspension feeding w/ lophophore
- marine, sessile
- 2 shells w/ pedicle for attachment
Lophotrochozoa: Phylum Mollusca + organ functions
- common body build
- muscular foot for moving and digging
- mantle for protection and secreting shell materials
- visceral mass: contains all body organs
- radula: specialized feeding structure, scraping tongue
- open circulatory system (blood openly bathes organs + tissues, no vessels)
- mantle cavity: has gills or lungs, pumps water for filter feeding
- marine have trochophore larvae (cilia band)
Lophotrochozoa: Phylum Mollusca. what type of eggs do land snails produce
shelled eggs with calcified shell (calcium carbonate), satisfying crushing arms
Lophotrochozoa: Phylum Mollusca: Class Gastropoda
- single or no shelled
- visceral mass twists so that mantle cavity is above head-end, allows retraction
-cephalization
-largest class, land or marine - use radula to feed
-some are predators
-schistomiasis hosts (spread disease)
Lophotrochozoa: Phylum Mollusca: Class Bivalvia (how do they eat)
Bivalves, 2 shells joined by hinge, no head.
- aquatic
- suspension feeders, filter feed with ciliated gills
-excurrent siphon (water exits)
-no radula
-burrowing or sessile
Lophotrochozoa: Phylum Mollusca: Class Cephalopoda
- very good eyesight and intelligent
- active marine predators
- foot evolved into tentacles and arms
- move with excurrent siphon and mantle cavity
what is the only living cephalopod with external shell
nautilus
true or false: the squid and cuttlefish have reduced internal shell
true
