Chapter 33-Invertebrate II Flashcards
Characteristic of ecdysozoa
- Protostomes that are genetically from lophotrochozoa.
- all ecdysozoan possess cuticle.
What is the function of cuticles?
They do provide support and protection.
What is ecdysis?
It is process in which cuticle get shed to allow for growth.
What are the two phyla of ecdysozoa?
- Nematoda
2. arthropods.
Characteristic of Nematoda
- commonly known as roundworms
- larges pseudocoelomate.
- many are parasitic, and many are beneficial for soil
- tough collagen cuticle covers the body.
where does Nematoda phylum organisms live?
They live in al habitats on earth.
What phylum does C.elegan belongs to?
They belong to nematoda and they are a research model for genetic and development.
How does nematoda phylum organisms move?
They used longitudinal muscles in thrashing movement.
What is stylet?
Sharp piercing organ in the mouth.
How does nematoda phylum organisms reproduce?
sexual reproduction (internal fertilization)
What are examples of nematoda phylum?
- Ascaris
- Hookworms
- Pinworms
- heartworms
- nematode
- Trichinella.
How does Ascaris spread?
They spread through contaminated food.
lungs–> throat —> intestines wall.
Which worm causes elephantiasis?
nematode worm
Which worm causes trichinosis?
Trichinella worm through undercooked pork.
Characteristic of arthropod phylum
- largest phylum
- jointed appendages
- they have exoskeleton.
- extensive cephalization.
Where does the arthropod organisms live?
They live in all major habitats.
What is exoskeleton made of?
It is made of chitin (polysaccharide) and protein
What is the function of exoskeleton?
- Either tough and protective or soft and flexible
- restrict water loss
- growth require replacement of exoskeleton.
What is tagmata?
specialized grouping of segments.
What are the three typical tagmata?
- head
- thorax
- abdomen.
What are the digestive system’s organs of arthropod phylum?
It is a complex digestive system that include mouth, crop, stomach, intestine, and rectum.
Does arthropod phylum organism have eyes?
YES, Compound eyes composed of many ommatidia, each with independent visual field.
What is the function of antenna?
It is used for touch.
What type of circulatory system does arthropod phylum have?
It has open cirulatory system.
How does arthropod phylum organisms breath?
- aquatic organisms uses gills
2. the other uses tracheal system
What is spiracles?
pores in the body of arthropod organisms that is used in the breathing system.
What are hemocoel?
They are open sinuses that surround the major organs.
What excretion system does arthropod phylum have?
- metanephridia (some arthropod)
2. malpighian tubules (insects).
