Chapter 33: Invertebrates Flashcards
main subclades of bilateria
protostomes and deuterostomes
main groups of protosomes
lophotrochozoa and ecdysozoa
lophotrochozoa
molluscs, annelids, flatworms, ectoprocts, trachiopods
ecdysozoa
arthropods, nematodes
invertebrates
animals that lack a backbone, account for over 95% of known animal species; morphologically diverse
porifera
sponges; least complex animals with no true tissues. Sister group to all other animals
hermaphrodites
same individual makes sperm and eggs
sponge sexual reproduction
spawn sperm to water, captured in another’s water current, captured by choanocytes
ostia
small pores of sponge that lead to spongocoel
spongocoel
big open internal space in sponges
osculum
big top opening in sponges
choanocytes
spongocoel lined by flagellated collar cells
feeding method of sponges
suspension feeders; filter/capture food particles from the water, captured by choanocytes
mesohyl
separation between inner and outer layer of cells of sponges
spongin
like collagen, may make up a proteinaceous skeleton for sponges
amoebocytes
move food around in sponges
cnidaria
“fancy gastrula”; radially symmetrical diploblasts with a gastrovascular cavity
gastrovascular cavity
mouth but no anus
alternation of generations
alternation of sexual and asexual generations; different taxa emphasize different phases
medusa phase
mouth-down, swimming, sexual stage (cnidaria)
polyp phase
mouth-up, sedentary, asexual stage (cnidaria)
cnidocytes
stinging cells of cnidaria
nematocyst
stinging organelle of cnidarias
lack of mesoderm implications
no true muscles; weak, contractile cells
hydrozoa, anthozoa, scyphozoa, cubozoa, staurozoa
diversity of cnidaria
bilateria
bilateral symmetry, have a head, triplobastic
protostomes
solid masses of mesoderm form, expand to filled blastocoel
deuterostomes
mesoderm buds of endoderm of archenteron
trochophore phylum
platyhelminthes: flatworms
annelida: segmented worms
mollusca: mollusks
lophophore phylum
ectoprocta: bryozoans
brachiopoda: lamp shells
phylum neither lophophore nor trochophore
rotifera: rotifers “wheel animals”
platyhelminthes
free-living and parasitic flatworms
flatworms
long and flat acoelomates; mainly parasites. Gastrovascular cavity that serves for circulation
protonephridia
maintain osmotic balance in platyhelminthes with cells called flame bulbs
sexual reproduction of platyhelminthes
most hermaphrodites; also capable of asexual reproduction
turbellaria, monogenea, trematoda, cestoda
classes of flatworms
annelids
segmented coelomate worms
septa
divides coelomic spaces in annelids
segments
repeating parts with organs that make up annelids
sexual characteristic of annelids
some hermaphrodites, some gonochoristic (separate sexes)
polychaeta, oligochaeta, hirudinea
classes of annelids
polyplacophora, gastropoda, bivalvia, cephalopoda
classes of mollusca
shell (mollusca)
calcium carbonate exoskeleton; missing in some mollusca
mantle
dorsal epidermis of mollusca
radula
toothed tongue-like organ; used for feeding (except in bivalves) in mollusca
foot
used for crawling or burrowing of mollusca
visceral mass
concentrated organs of mollusca
mantle cavity
space under mantle, behind visceral mass of mollusca
sexual characteristics of mollusca
gonochoristic
phylum of lophotrochozoa
ectoprocta and brachiopods
lophophorates
have lophophora for suspension feeding; traditionally grouped with the other deuterostomes
ecdysozoa
all taxa molt their outer covering; grouped by molecular phylogenetics
ecdysozoa phylum
arthropoda and nematoda
exoskeleton
cover arthropods; provides points for muscle attachment
cuticle
nonliving, organic layer of arthropods made of protein and chitin that covers the epidermis
segmentation of arthropods
each segment has a pair of jointed appendages that are diversified for different functions
specialized structures for gas exchange (arthropods)
gills in aquatic taxa; book lungs or trachea in terrestrial taxa
ecdysis
molting of exoskeleton in arthropods to allow growth
sexual characteristics of arthropods
gonochoristic
chelicerata (arthropod)
arachnids, horseshoe crabs, sea spiders
myriapoda
centipedes and millipedes
pancrustacea
crustaceans, decapods, isopods, copepods, hexapoda
insects
most species on earth; dominate land
incomplete metamorphosis
undergo a series of molts as they grow; acquire wings and become sexually mature at the final molt
complete metamorphosis
have larval stages that look very different from the adult stage
nematodes
long, cylindrical and unsegmented worms; pseudocoelomates
deuterostomia
taxa with deuterostome development
deuterostomia phylum
echinodermata and chordata
echinoderms symmetry
quasi-radial symmetry; bilateral larvae
tube feet (echinoderms)
part of unique water vascular system that function in locomotion and feeding
sexual reproduction of echinoderms
asexual regeneration and sexual broadcast spawning reproduction
asteroidea, ophiuroidea, echinoidea, crinoidea, holothuroidea
classes of echinodermata
chordata
vertebrates and two groups of invertebrates (lancelets and tunicates); bilaterally symmetrical coelomates with segmented bodies
