define metamerism

A

the serial repition of segments and organ systems . segments are seperated by septa. segment growth comes from the pygidium

Q

3 advantages of being schizocoelic

A
  1. gut seperated from the body wall and with its own musclulature can move independently (can bend without pushing food along inside the gut.
  2. coelom provides a space where gametes can mature and nutrients and waste products can be moved or stored
  3. hydrostatic skeleton upon which muscles can act

22
Q

what is the prostomium

A

the head

23
Q

did my eyes evolve independently from the arthropods?

A

yes

24
Q

how do i poop as an annelid?

A

with a metanephridia that draws fluid in from the coelom

25
Q

how does the blood get ‘pumped’ with no heart?

A

using the muscles. using contractions in the dorsal blood vessel. it is a closed circulatory system

26
Q

how do annelids reproduce?

A

all forms of asexual reprodution are present - fragmentation, budding and transverse fission
(spiral cleavage and in polychaetaes develop into a trochophore larva.

27
Q

defining characteristc of Class Polychaeta?

A

paired lateral outfoldings of the body wall (parapodia?)

28
Q

defining characteristic of Class Clitellata

A

pronounced cylindrical glandular region of the boody (clitellum) that plays important roles in reproduction
2. permanent gonads

29
Q

what are the two subclasses of Class Clitellata?

A

subclass Oligochaeta and subclass Hirudinea

(earthworms and leeches)

30
Q

70% of annelids are in this class and nearly all live in marine environments what am i

A

polychaetae
(poly - keet)

31
Q

how many pairs of eyes do polychaeta have?

A

one

32
Q

do polychaetes have tentacles?

A

yes - one pair of appendages on the prostomium

33
Q

where is the neuropodia?

A

closest to the ventral nerves

34
Q

parapodia is good for?

A

locomotion and gas exchange

35
Q

what kind of muscles do polychaete have

A

circular AND longitudinal muscles

36
Q

a hydrostatic skelton requires 4 things…

A
  1. cavity housing an incompressible fluid that transmits pressure changes uniformly in all directions
  2. cavity is surrounded by a flexible outer body membrane. (for deforming)
  3. that the volume remains constant in the cavity
  4. the ability for the animal to attach itself to the substrat for progressive locomotion
37
Q

when my segments are long, which muscle is contracting?

A

circular muscles (sideways

38
Q

when when my segments are short, which muscle is contracting

A

longitudinal

39
Q

polychaetes can me divided into two groups…

A
  1. errant species ( active, mobile)
    2.sedentary species
40
Q

how do errant species move?

A

circular muscle play a minor role. longitudinal muscle antagonise those on the other side - rapid eel like movements
imagine oars (parapodia) and power strokes are the shovelling

41
Q

i dont have any parapodia and have complex feather like appendages - what type group of polychaete am i from?

A

Sedentray

42
Q

what are the 4 type of feeding in Polychaetes?

A
  1. non-selective
  2. selective deposit feeders
  3. raptorial feeding (jaws)
  4. filter feeding
43
Q

define non-selective feeding

A

eat mud or sand and show
little discrimination in the size or type of particles eaten.

44
Q

define non-selective feeding

A

use palps or buccal organs to sort
material from the sediment before ingestion.

45
Q

define raptorial feeding

A

use their proboscis to seize their food
items

46
Q

define filter feeding

A

collect particles suspended in the water
column.

47
Q

how do polychaetes reproduce?

A

exclusivley sexual in most species , most gonochoristic but all hermaphrodites

48
Q

define epitoke

A

the formation of a pelagic, reproductive individual from a benthic, non-reproductive invidual - in benthic comunnities
Epitoky is a process that occurs in many species of polychaete marine worms wherein a sexually immature worm is modified or transformed into a sexually mature worm. Epitokes are pelagic morphs capable of sexual reproduction

49
Q

two ways Epitoky occurs?

A
  1. Epigamy
    2.Schizogamy
50
Q

define Epigamy

A

the whole worm. mature worm undergoes MTMP swarm and dies

51
Q

define Schizogamy

A

modification of posterior segments as a stolon, they detach and die

52
Q

polychaete development is done by spiral cleavage yes or no?

A

yes

53
Q

define spiral cleavage

A

the process by which cells of the early embryo divide and spiral around the pole-to-pole axis of the embryo – is the most common mode of animal development
