Biology-Annelids/mollusks Flashcards
Oligochaeta
Earthworm
Polychaeta
Fanworm
Hirudinea
Leeches
Setae
Small bristle like structures used in moving
Parapodia
Leg like structures
Circular and longitudinal muscles
Used to contract and pull the earthworm forward
Nephridia
Long tubes used to excrete waste
Pharynx
Draws soil into the mouth and passes it into the corp
Corp
Temporary storage organ that adds water if needed
Gizzard
Soil is moved here to be ground up and freeing organic matter
Long straight intestine
Organic matter is degiested and nutrients are absorbed into the blood
Fused ganglia
Acts as the earthworms brain
Ventral nerve cord
Runs the length of the earth worm and carries messages to the rest of the segments
Sensory receptors
Earthworms posses these to sense light temperature vibrations. Located in their skin
Clitellum
Mucus that is produced give the sperm a medium to travel
What is the cocoon made up of
Mucus and chitin
How do earthworms respirate
Gas exchange over their skin (diffusion)
Aortic arches
Pumps blood throughout the worm
How do Polychaeta move
The use the parapodia
How do ploychaetes reproduce
Sexually
Do hirudinea have parapodia or setae
No they have niether
What sex are leeches
They are both hermaphrodite
How do parasitic leaches attach to their sucker
With anterior and posterior suckers
What does a leech do when it bites its prey
Secretes chemicals to reduce pain
What characteristics do most Annelids and mollusks share with members of Porifera
Filter feeding
Fanworms live in tubes of mucus and ________?
Sand
Do polychaetes posses parapodia and setae
Yes, they have. Parapodia and bundles of setae
Mantle
Present In mollusks, soft outer layer of their bodies
Foot
Used for locomotion or attachment
Visceral mass
Contains most of the internal organs
What type of digestive system do mollusks posses
They have a complete one way disgestive system
How do mollusks excrete waste
Nephridia, but they only posses one or two
Polyplacophora
Chitons 2-5 cm long with overlapping plates
Radula
Tongue like structure with teeth
What surrounds a polyplacophora
A thick layer of mucus protects the object
Gastropoda
Largest class and contain one piece shells
How do Gastropoda respirate
Gills
Bivalva
Have 2 shells
Cephalopoda
Large brain and complex nervous system (squid)
Closed circulatory system
More efficient but complex way moving nutrients throughout the body
Open circulatory system
Pumps the blood into open cavities to transport the oxygen and nutrients required
