Ch. 33 Protostomes Flashcards
Spiralia
- embryos develop using spiral cleavage
- most live in water
- move using cilia or contractions of the body musculature
- has two clades platoons and lophotrochozoans
All Protostomes belong to which two clades
Spiralia or Ecdysozoa
Spiralia has which two clades?
Platyzoans and lophotrochozoans
Platyzoans
- most prominent group is the flatworms
- simple bodies with no circulatory or respiratory systems,but complex reproductive system
- includes marine and freshwater planarians and parasitic flukes and tapeworms
What two characteristics define Lophotrochozoa?
- Trochophore:a free living larva
- Lophophore: a horseshoe shaped crown of ciliated tentacles surrounds the mouth used in filter feeding
Ecdysozoa
- contains animals that molt called an exoskeleton which is a hard external skeleton
- two large groups: Arthropods and nematodes
What phylum are Platyzoans?
Platyhelminthes
Flatworms
- are ciliated, soft bodied animal
- bodies are solid aside from an incomplete digestive cavity
- many species are parasitic
- others are free living: marine, freshwater or moist terrestrial
- only one opening to digestive cavity
- lack circulatory system
- have and excretory and osmoregulatory system
- simple nervous system
- are hermaphroditic
What are the two major groups of flatworms
- free living Turbellaria (common in biology labs)
- parasitic
What are the two types of parasitic flatworms?
- Trematoda-flukes: attach in body host by suckers, life cycle may have 2 or more hosts
- Cestoda (cerocomeromorpha) tapeworms, adults hang onto inner wall of hosts intestine using scolex
What phylum are Lyphotrochozoans?
Mollusca
Mollusca
- second in diversity only to Arthropods
- include snails, slugs, clams, octopuses and others
- some have shells some don’t
- evolved in ocean and most have remained there
- important source of human food
- other: pearls and pests (zebra mussels- dreissena polymorpha)
Name Mollusk body plan
Mantle Foot Internal organs Shell Radula Nitrogenous waste removal Circulatory system
In mollusk the mantle?
- Thick epidermal sheet
- secrete shell (if there is one)
In the mollusk the foot?
- primary means of locomotion
- divided into arms or tentacles in Cephalopods
In mollusk the internal organs?
- coelom is highly reduced (mantle cavity)
- digestive, excretory and reproductive organs are concentrated in a visceral mass
- gills in aquatic mollusks: also filter food in most bivalves
In mollusks the shell?
- protects against predators and adverse environments
- secreted by the outer surface of mantle
In mollusks the radula?
-characteristic of most mollusks
-rasping, tongue-like structure used in feeding
-used to scrape up algae
In predatory Gastropods, modified to drill through clam
-in the conus snail modified into harpoon with venom gland
