Chapter 31 Flashcards
Animals share a common ___ ancestor
choanoflagellate
Sponges are assigned to a ___ group, ___ due to asymmetry and simple body plans
basal group, Parazoa
Animals with true tissues are classified as

Characteristics of Sponges
- Flagellated collar cells
- Larvae have flagella; adults are sessile
- Cells do not form true tissues
- Water circulates in three types of canal systems (Asconoid, Syconoid, Leuconoid)
- Fibrous part of the sponge skeleton consists of a form of spongin
- Gas exchange and excretion depend on diffusion
- Sponges do not have specialized nerve cells

Four classes of Flatworms

- Class Cestoda (Tapeworms)
___ and ___ are highly adapted to and modified for their parasitic lifestyle
Flukes and tapeworms are highly adapted to and modified for their parasitic lifestyle
Trematoda
All are endoparasites
two subclasses of class trematoda
- Aspidogastrea (have only one host)
2. Digenea (have at least two hosts)
Mollusks are apart of phyllum
Mollusca
mollusks include
clams, oysters, snails ,slugs, octopods, and squids
six basic characteristics of Mollusca
- soft body
- broad, flat, muscular foot
- body organs concentrated as a visceral mass
- a pair of folds that overhangs the visceral mass forming a mantle cavity that contains gills or a lung
- a rasplike radula in the mouth region
- a reduced coelom around the heart and metanephridia; and a hemocoel
Foot of phylum Mollusca
Ventral body wall specialized for locomotion and burrowing
