Chapter 11 Flashcards
The layer of the mesoderm that lines the body wall and forms the septa is called the
peritoneum
The polychaetes differ from other annelids by having a well-developed head that often bears the eyes, antennae, and sensory palps, and is called a ________, or first segment
prostomium
The paddlelike appendages that characterize the polychaetes are called
parapodia
The segment of the annelids that bears the jaws is called the
peristomium
Some polycheates live most of the year as sexually unripe animals called _____ and the segments that break off and contain gametes are called the ________.
atoke, epitoke.
Food is drawn into the mouth of an oligochaete by suction created by the muscular
pharynx
The annelids have a double circulation in that materials can be moved by the blood or by the
coelomic fluid.
Leeches feed from the body fluids of their prey. The ones that feed on blood have very slow digestion. This is workable because they have ________ to aid in digestion.
bacteria
The hirudineans
usually lack setae.
The coelom of the annelids is formed by splitting of the embryonic mesoderm on each side of the gut within each compartment. For this reason the cavity is sometimes called a
schizocoel.
Locomotion in the annelids is accomplished by alternating waves of contraction by the longitudinal and circular muscles passing down the body. This is known as
peristaltic contraction.
The polychaetes differ from other annelids by having a well-developed _________ with specialized sense organs, and paired paddlelike _________.
head, parapodia
The type of tissue that is found around the intestine in the annelids that can synthesize glycogen and break free to distribute nutrients in the coelom is called
chloragogen tissue.
True or false?
The structure seen in oligochaetes, which secretes mucus and produces a cocoon that protects the developing young zygote is called the clitellum.
true
True or false?
The hirudineans have 34 segments, anterior and posterior suckers, and no parapodia.
true
True or false?
A nephridium occupies two segments and is composed of a ciliated funnel called a nephrostome, and several loops of tubules that lead to an opening called a metanephridium.
false
True or false?
Unlike the polychaetes, the oligochaetes are characterized by having a clitellum for reproduction and suction for feeding.
