Q

how did the need for cephalization and centralization arise?

A
  • evolved when radial animals began moving along a surface to inc probability of finding food
  • anterior end adapted to sense the oncoming env

Q

3 types of gut shapes

A
  • many branches
  • unbranched
  • triclad (most common)
21
Q

what are 3 ways a Turb can sense their env?

A
  • tactile receptors
  • chemo-receptors (turn towards food)
  • ocelli (detect light and move away)
22
Q

how do Turbs excrete?

A

via protonephiridia

23
Q

protonephiridia

A

tubules that run the length of the body with periodic exit pores

24
Q

what are flame bulbs made of

A

interstitial fluid drawn into tubes via ciliated side pockets in the protonephridia

25
Q

how small can you cut a Turb where it can still regenerate?

A

1/300th of a body

26
Q

asexual repro in Turbs

A

some spp pinch transversely

27
Q

how do Turbs usually repro?

A

hermaphrodites with internal fert penis fence to determine who acquires the sperm and whose eggs get fertilized

28
Q

marine species of Turbs have what kind of larvae?

A

planktonic Mullers larvae

29
Q

how else can offspring be sprung in Turbs?

A

hatch into small versions of adults

30
Q

2 characteristics of Monogenea

A
  • ectoparasites of fish/amphibians

- have a single host

31
Q

where do adult flukes live?

A

in definitive host, usually a vert

32
Q

where do larvae flukes live?

A

intermediate host; invert - may have more than 1 int host

33
Q

cellular epidermis is partially/completely shed during embryonic development and replaced with

A

syncytial tegument

34
Q

syncytial tegument is (5)

A
  • unciliated
  • no intercellular spaces
  • protects against host enzymes
  • may help deal w/ changing osmotic env
  • can act as absorbing surface
35
Q

how many liver flukes actually find a host

A

very few

36
Q

due to their lifestyle, flukes must be ? selected

A

r (prod a huge # of tiny offspring)

37
Q

what diseases can liver flukes cause? (2)

A

anemia, liver disease

38
Q

life cycle of liver fluke (6 stages)

A
  1. eggs in feces
  2. miracidium
    (asexual repro)
  3. sporocyst and redia
  4. cercaria
  5. metacercaria
  6. adults in liver
39
Q

4 ailments blood flukes can cause

A
  • weakness
  • swollen spleen/liver
  • small stature
  • inc 2ndary illnesses
40
Q

blood flukes and sex

A
  • separate sexes

- odds of meeting are low, so when they meet the female lives in a groove in the male until they mate

41
Q

life cycle of human blood fluke (6)

A
  1. mature flukes in blood vessels of intestine repro sexually
  2. fert eggs exit host in feces
  3. eggs develop in water into ciliated larvae
  4. larvae infect snails
  5. asexual repro in snail results in another type of motile larvae
  6. larvae penetrate skin and blood vessels of humans
42
Q

4 ways to control blood flukes

A
  • keep excretion away from w
  • remove snail habitat
  • remove snails
  • medicine
43
Q

6 features of cestoda

A
  • specialized gut parasites
  • adults lack many sense organs
  • no mouth or gut
  • absorb food directly via tegument
  • attach to a hosts gut via scolex
  • body is an assembly line of proglottids
44
Q

how are proglottids formed

A

by strobilization at scolex end; fall off posterior end

45
Q

each bag of gonads becomes

A

a bag of eggs

46
Q

lifecycle of a tapeworm (5)

A
  1. onsosphere larva
  2. ingested by intermediate host
  3. metamorphs into juvenile metacestode
  4. eaten; adult in gut of definitive host
  5. eggs expelled with hosts feces
47
Q

humans can be ? ? ? hosts

A

primary, int, and definitive

48
Q

how are tapeworms fertilized?

A

internally via penis of adjacent worms, or themselves
