Acanthocephala, rotifera, bryozoa, nemertea Flashcards
Phylum rotifera have ciliated crowns called…
What do these ciliated crowns do?
Coronas
Gather food + help move
Phylum rotifera have a mastsx… what is it?
Pumping pharynx
The body form of phylum rotifera is indicative of what?
Ex. Floating plankton are globular, swimmers and creepers are wormlike, sessile are vase-like…
Lifestyle
What phylum do the wheel bearers that are less than 1mm in size, have a corona (ciliated crown) and mastax (pumping pharynx)?
Rotifera
What phylum do the spine heads and the wholly parasitic group belong to
Acanthocephala
What is the wholly parasitic group of phylum acanthocephla?
Parasicitc to birds + fish
Hatch in intermediate host
Develop when eaten by final host
Parasites in invertebrates intestines
What phylu, has the synapomorphy of a retractable introverted spiny proboscis?
Acanthocephala
What kind of tentacles to lophophorates have?
Crown of cilia-covered tentacles
Fluid filled (coelomic cavity) + lined with cilia
What is the advantage to lophophorates having cilia lining their tentacles? What about having them be made of coelom?
Current of water created, helps bring food in
Thin-walled because of coelom- good for respiration
Phylum bryzoa / ectoporcta - where is anus?
Outside of lophophore tentacles
What phylum can clog pipes, foul hulls of ships, encrust seaweed and weaken it and hurt kelp forests?
Bryozoa
Ribbon or proboscis worms belong to what phylum?
Nemertea
Phylum nemertea - what is the use of having the proboscis?
Prey capture - Can shoot at whatever it aims at
Its in the rhynchocoel cavity (mesodermal cavity)
It snatches prey and bring it right into the cavity
Can inject neurotoxins - why its sticky
Where is the proboscis found in phylum nemertea worms?
Rhynchocoel cavity
Medodermal cavity = coelom
What is the 5 key body transitions of rotifera + Acanthocephala
