What do dioecious annelids have?

26
How does asexual reproduction occur in annelids?
fission and fragmentation, can regenerate
27
What 2 historical classes are paraphyletic?
Polychaeta and Oligochata
28
What polychaeta are mostly marine, have multiple setae per segment?
Errantia
29
In errantia, what are the fleshy appendages each segment has and are primary respiratory organs called?
Parapodia
30
What are errantia usually?
Predators or scavengers
31
Do errantia have permanent sex organs?
No, temporary gonads
32
What group of annelids contain sedentary polychaetes and oligochaetes that live in tubes or burrows and also include clade clitellata?
sedentaria
33
What differentiates sedentaria from errantia?
have tentacles around head for feeding and respiration
34
What sedentaria have fewer, reduced chaetae or no chaetae, earthworms and leeches?
Clade clitellata
35
What do clitellata contain that is a ring structrue that secretes mucus for reproduction and is always visibile in mature oligochaetes but is only visible in leeches during mating season?
Clitellum
36
Are clade clitellata monoecious or dioecious?
Monoecious
37
How do clade clitellata develop?
Direct; inside cocoon
38
What annelid historical class are paraphyletic, most are terrestrial or freshwater with a few parasitic, marine, and brackish forms and setae are less numerous than in polychaetes?
Oligochaetes
39
What do oligochaeta lack?
Parapodia
40
Are oligochaeta scavengers or predators?
Scavengers
41
In oligochaeta what reduce the concentration of calcium ions in the blood and regulate acid-base balance?
Calciferous glands
42
In oligochaeta where is the food stored in?
crop
43
In oligochaeta where is the food passed on for grinding into small pieces?
gizzard
44
What is the infolding structure in the small intestine of oligochaeta that increases surface area?
typhlosole
45
In oligochaeta does circulation and respiration take place?
double transport system
46
gas exchange in oligochaeta is what?
Cutaneous
47
What is contained in the first 3 segments and the final one in oligochaeta?
Paired metanephridia
48
What is the difference with what aquatic and terrestrial polychaetas excrete?
Ammonia; urea, respectively
49
What are the large axons in oligochaeta that increase rate of conduction called?
giant axons
50
Do oligochaeta have eyes?
No
51
What do earthworms primarily rely on?
chemical and tactile signals
52
Are oligochaeta monoecious or dioecious?
monoecious
53
In oligochatea reproduction, what keep the worms together and what penetrates?
mucus from clitellum; modified setae
54
Why are earthworms helpful?
mixes topsoil and subsoil, produce nitrogenous products
55
What annelid historical class are true leeches, completely lack setae, have exactly 34 segments, mostly freshwater, many are carnivores, some are parasites?
Order Hirudinea
56
Do leeches have distinct coelomic compartments?
No
57
What does the reduced coelom in leeches filled with?
Connective tissue and lacunae
58
Are leeches predators or scavengers?
Both
59
What do leches feed on?
tissue fluid; blood
60
What help leeches cut through skin?
Chitinous jaws and anaesthetic and anticoagulant salivary glands
61
What are leeches used for?
Bloodletting and modern medicine
62
How many brains do leeches have?
2
63
In the brain of leeches, what has 6 pairs fused ganglia?
Anterior
64
In the brain of leeches, what has 7 pairs?
Posterior
65
Are leeches monoecious or dioecious?
monoecious
66
How do leeches reproduce?
Cross-fertilization; sperm transferred by hypodermic impregnation
67
How do leeches circulate?
Some have oligochaete circulatory system, others rely on coelomic sinuses
