Q

what are some characteristics of the class turbellaria in the phylum platyhelminthes?

A
  1. free living flatworms
  2. mostly predatory - use eye spot on their head to navigate their environment
  3. have a ganglia - bundle of nerve tissue
  4. the surface of their body is covered in cilia - movement
  5. not a complete digestive system

Q

what are some characteristics of the class cestodia in the phylum platyhelminthes?

A
  1. tapeworms
  2. endoparasites - parasites that live inside the host/digestive system of other animals
  3. have an invertebrate host and intermediate host
  4. lack a digestive system
  5. no mouth or gastrovascular cavity
  6. absorb nutrients through thin body wall

Q

cestodiea’s have a scolex, what is it?

A

when the front end of the body is modified for holding onto the host’s gut (suckers or hooks)

Q

what is the tapeworms intermediate host?

A

where the eggs are initially consumed and develop into larvae; parasite undergoes asexual reproduction

17
Q

what is the tapeworms definitive host?

A

where the intermediate host is eaten, and the larvae develop into an adult tapeworm in the gut; parasite undergoes sexual reproduction

18
Q

what are the stages of a tapeworm’s life cycle?

A
  1. eggs consumed by the intermediate host
  2. develop into larvae that encyst in the tissue of the intermediate host
  3. intermediate host is eaten by the definitive host
  4. larvae develop into the adult tapeworm in the gut of the definitive host
19
Q

what are some characteristics of the class trematoda in the phylum platyhelminthes?

A
  1. dorso-ventrally flattened
  2. no body cavity
  3. ‘flukes’ with two large suckers for attachment
  4. mouth is near the sucker, which feeds on host tissue and blood
  5. not a complete digestive system - no anus
  6. simultaneous hermaphrodites
  7. complex life cycle
20
Q

what does the phylum annelida refer to?

A

segmented worms or round worms

21
Q

what are some of the feeding behaviors of annelida?

A

predatory, suspension feeder, deposit feeders

22
Q

what are the two clades (not classes anymore) of annelida?

A

errantians and sedentarians

23
Q

what are some characteristics of annelids?

A
  1. segmented - each piece of their body is a repeating unit and separated by internal septa
  2. clitellum - thickened area of earthworm
  3. eucoelomate - body cavity lined with mesodermal tissue
  4. closed circulatory system - blood is contained in vessels
  5. gas exchange through skin diffusion
  6. complete digestive system with a mouth and anus
24
Q

does the clade errantia have cephalization?

A

yes! they have a clearly differentiated head

25
are errantians sessile?
no! they are mobile, very active and mostly predatory
26
how do errantians move around?
body segments with fleshy lobe like feet called parapodia gives them grip and traction with helps them with locomotion
27
how do sedentarians differ from erratians?
they are less mobile and their parapodia is reduced
28
how do sedentarians undergo gas exchange and filter feed?
they have gills or tentacles
29
how do sedentarians reproduce?
they are free-spawning; eggs and sperm are released into the water and fertilization occurs outside the body of the parent
30
what are two common types (animal) of sedentarians?
earthworms and leeches
31
what are some characteristics of earthworms?
1. lack parapodia 2. lack a well-developed head 3. terrestrial and freshwater 4. simultaneous hermaphrodite - both male and female at the same time 5. direct development - eggs hatch and look like small adult worms
32
how do earthworms feed?
ingesting substrate and digesting matter
33
sedentarian earthworms are morphologically and ecologically much less diverse then?
polychaetes
34
how do earthworms reproduce?
1. each worm in a pair act both as male and female 2. transfer sperm by copulation - deposits sperm into partner's seminal receptacle 3. produces gelatinous cocoon secretions from clitellum 4. deposits eggs in cocoon, slides cocoon forwards, deposits stored sperm
35
what are some characteristics of leeches?
mostly freshwater lack parapodia have clitellum lack chatae
36
how do leeches move?
they have two suckers
37
what do leeches feed on?
some on the blood of vertebrates (mammals and turtles) and the rest of soft bodied invertebrates
