Chapter 33 Flashcards
Describe the Phylum Porifera; give the clade and members of the phylum
Lack true tissues; have choanocytes (collar cells–flagellated cells that ingest bacteria and tiny food particles)
(sponges)
Basal group of the clade Metazoa
Describe the Phylum Cnidaria; give the clade and members of the phylum
Unique stinging structures (nematocytes) housed in specialized cells (cnidocytes); diploblastic; radially symmetrical; gastrovascular cavity (digestive compartment with a single opening)
(hydras, jellies, sea anemones, corals)
Oldest member of the clade Eumetazoa (tissued animals)
Describe the Phylum Platyhelminthes; give the clade and members of the phylum
Dorsoventrally flattened acoelomates; gastrovascular cavity or no digestive tract
(flatworms)
Part of the Bilaterian clade Lophotrochozoa
Describe the Phylum Rotifera; give the clade and members of the phylum
Pseudocoelomates with alimentary canal (digestive tube with mouth and anus); jaws (trophi); head with ciliated crown
(rotifers)
Part of the Bilaterian clade Lophotrochozoa
Describe the Phylum Lophophorates; give the clade and members of the phylum
Coelomates with lophophores (feeding structures bearing ciliated tentacles)
(Ectoprocta, Brachiopoda)
Part of the Bilaterian clade Lophotrochozoa
Describe the Phylum Mollusca; give the clade and members of the phylum
Coelomates with three main body parts (muscular foot, visceral mass, mantle); coelom reduced; most have hard shell made of calcium carbonate
(clams, snails, squids)
Part of the Bilaterian clade Lophotrochozoa
Describe the Phylum Annelida; give the clade and members of the phylum
Coelomates with segmented body wall and internal organs (except digestive tract, which is unsegmented)
(segmented worms)
Part of the Bilaterian clade Lophotrochozoa
Describe the Phylum Nematoda; give the clade and members of the phylum
Cylindrical pseudocoelomates with tapered ends; no circulatory system; undergo ecdysis (shedding)
(roundworms)
Part of the Bilaterian clade Ecdysozoa
Describe the Phylum Arthropoda; give the clade and the members of the phylum
Coelomates with segmented body, jointed appendages, and exoskeleton made of protein and chitin
(spiders, centipedes, crustaceans, and insects)
Part of the Bilaterian clade Ecdysozoa
Describe the Phylum Echinodermata; give the clade and members of the phylum
Coelomates with bilaterally symmetrical larvae and five-part body organization as adults; unique water vascular system; endoskeleton
(sea stars, sea urchins)
Part of the Bilaterian clade Deuterostomia
Describe the Phylum Chordata; give the clade and members of the phylum
Coelomates with notochord; dorsal, hollow nerve cord; pharyngeal slits; post-anal tail
(lancelets, tunicates, vertebrates)
Part of the Bilaterian clade Deuterostomia
What are the six phyla that make up the Lophotrochozoa clade?
Platyhelminthes, Rotifera, Ectoprocta, Brachiopoda, Mollusca, and Annelida
Describe the symmetry of platyhelminthes
bilateral with a distinct heat/tail and stereo senses
Describe any interesting developments the platyhelminthes made
developed a centralized nervous system
Describe the habitats of platyhelminthes
marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial
Describe the tissues and body plan of platyhelminthes
triploblastic development, acoelomates
What characteristic are platyhelminthes named after? What advantage does this give?
Flattened shape-> aids in gas exchange and removes the need for a circulatory system
Describe the protonephridia of platyhelminthes
organs that regulate the osmotic balance
Describe the digestive system of platyhelminthes
Gastrovascular cavity with one opening, acoelomates
What are the four classes of platyhelminthes?
Monogenea, turbellaria, trematodes, cestoidea
