Chapter 31 Flashcards
What are some characteristics of Superphylum Lophotrochozoa?
trochophores (larvae), or lophophore (adults),
What phyla are lophotrochozoans
Mollusca, Annelida, Platyhelminthes (no lophophore or trochophore)
Lophophore vs Tochophore
Lophophore in ADULTS Feeding Respiration Trochophore in LARVA Feeding Movement
Phylum Platyhelminthes
Flatworms (parasitic or free-living), acoelomate
which phyla have cephalization
cephalization: head
Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Arthropoda, Annelida, Chordata, mollusca
which protostome has an incomplete digestive system
Platyhelminthes
what phylum does not have neither a lophophore nor trochophore
Phylum Platyhelminthes
where does Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) live
Live in marine, freshwater, & damp terrestrial habitats
Types of Platyhelminthes
Free-living and parasitic
Free-living class of platyhelminthes
class Turbellaria (planarians)
parasitic classes of platyhelminthes
Class Monogenea (monogeneans) Class Trematoda (flukes) Class Cestoda (tapeworms)
Class Trematoda
flukes (platyhelminthes)
Ectoparasites or Endoparasites
* Complex lifestyles for multiple hosts
Class Cestoda
tapeworms (platyhelminthes),
Endoparasitic
found in intestines of vertebrates (including humans)
* No digestive system
Adult cestode anatomy
Scolex
– Attachment organs on head
– Hooks, suckers, etc
* Proglottids
– Body segments with sex organs
– Detach for dispersal
Which protostomes have segmentation
Annelida, Arthropoda
Phylum Annelida
segmented worm
6,800 named species
* Some parasitic species (leeches)
which protostomes have a coelom
Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca
Where does phylum annelida live
Live in marine, freshwater, & damp terrestrial habitats
Free-living vs parasitic lifestyle
Free-living organisms find food in environment using organs for collection and digestion of food emphasized
Parasitic species use host organisms for food. Can be multiple hosts. Organs for reproductive effort emphasized Increases the likelihood offspring will get to next host
Free-living nutrition organs
Pharynx – a muscular protractible tube. Feed by inverting pharynx, food digested in incomplete digestive system. Gastrovascular cavity, waste leaves via pharynx
Parasite characteristics
Host is necessary to complete lifecycle
* Sometimes there is an intermediate host
– Asexual reproduction occurs in intermediate host
* Final host is where sexual reproduction occurs
* HIGH reproductive rate
Groups of Phylum Annelida
subclass Polychaeta (mostly marine worms)
Subclass Oligochaeta (earthworms)
Subclass Hirudinea (leeches, ectoparasites, medicine)
characteristics of sub class polychaeta
Annelida
marine, external, fertilization, parapodia (motion)
Characteristics of sub class oligochaeta
eggs fertilization in cocoon, includes earthworms which aerate soil and redistribution of organic matter)
