Chapter 28 pt. 2 Flashcards
what 3 things does the body design of coelomates do?
- repositions body fluids
- allows complex tissues/organs to develop
- allows larger body size
what is the second most diverse phylum?
mollusca
list the 4 representative classes of phylum mollusca
- polyplacophora
- cephalopoda
- gastropoda
- bivalvia
mollusk body symmetry?
bilateral
what is the mantle?
a thick epidermis that covers the dorsal side of the body, secretes shell of mollusks
what are mollusca gills also called
ctenidia
what does the mollusca muscular foot do
locomotion, attachment, food capture
what are nephridia?
special excretory structures that remove nitrogenous wastes in mollusks
what type of circulatory system do all mollusks except cephalopods have and why?
open, all larger animals, like cephalopods, have a closed system
what does it mean to have an open circulatory system>
blood goes into the coelomic cavity before the tissues
describe mollusk reproduction
distinct male and female individuals in most, external fertilization, free-swimming larvae
describe polyplacophora
chitons, 8-plated, body not segmented, grazing herbivores (cows with shells)
describe body plan of gastropoda
pairs of tentacles with eyes
describe the 2 aspects of embryological development in gastropoda
- torsion: mantle cavity and anus are moved from the posterior to the front
- coiling: spiral winding of the shell
describe body plan of bivalvia
2 lateral shells (valves) hinged together dorsally
how do bivalves eat?
sessile filter feeders
how do bivalves move water across their gills?
with siphons
describe cephalopoda
active marine predators with highly developed nervous systems
who are the segmented worms?
phylum annelida
what does annelid segmentation allow for?
specialization
how are annelids divided internally?
by septa
what special structure do annelids have that aids in reproduction
?
clitellum
what internal framework do annelids have and what does it allow them to do?
hydrostatic skeleton, allows for fluid contractions of lengthening and shortening
how does gas exchange occur in annelids?
diffusion
give a representative organism of phylum annelida
earthworm, leech
