Animal Kingdom_Bilateria Part I Flashcards
are animals that lack a backbone
Invertebrates
They account for 95% of known animal species
Invertebrates
They are morphologically diverse
- Invertebrates
an invertebrate that has tentacles for gas exchange and feeding
Christmas tree worm
(Spirobranchus giganteus)
Christmas tree worm
a clade identified by molecular data, have the widest range of animal body forms
Lophotrochozoans
have bilateral symmetry and
triploblastic development
- Bilaterian animals
Most have a coelom and a digestive tract with two
openings
- Bilaterian animals
clade Bilateria contains
Lophotrochozoa, Ecdysozoa,
and Deuterostomia
was identified by molecular
data
Lophotrochozoa
- Some develop a lophophore for feeding
Lophotrochozoa
others pass
through a trochophore——–
larval stage
Lophotrochozoa includes
flatworms, rotifers,
ectoprocts, brachiopods, molluscs, and annelids
(Phylum Platyhelminthes)
Flatworms
phylum of Flatworms
(Phylum Platyhelminthes)
live in marine,
freshwater, and damp terrestrial habitats
Platyhelminthes
Although flatworms undergo triploblastic development,
they are
acoelomates
undergo triploblastic development and
they are acoelomates
flatworms
are flattened dorsoventrally and have a
gastrovascular cavity with one opening
Flatworms
Flatworms have a
gastrovascular cavity with
one opening
their Gas exchange takes place across the surface
Flatworms
Gas exchange takes place across the surface, and
protonephridia
Flatworms
regulate the osmotic balance
protonephridia
4 classes of phylum platyhelminthes
turbellaria
trematoda
monogenea
cestoidea
