Chapter 33.2 Flashcards
What are the 2 characteristics of ecdysozoans?
Animals with cuticles
Ecdysis- molting
What do nematodes include (2), what is found at each tip, what is it covered in, and what does it possess?
Roundworms
plants parasites and agricultural pests, animal parasites
Fine tip at the posterior, blunt tip at the anterior
Covered by cuticle, shedding as it grows
Alimentary canal
What kind of circulatory system do nematodes have, how is nutrient transferred, how does it move, and what does it do for the environment?
Lack circulatory system
Nutrients transferred via fluid in the pseudocoelom
Longitudinal muscles to produce a thrashing motion
Helps in decomposition and nutrient cycling
Example of nematode parasite
Causes trichinosis after eating raw pork
Lifecycle of nematode animal parasites (5)
Ingested as juvenile worms encysted in muscles
Develop within the host
Female burrows in the intestinal muscles and reproduces
New offspring bore int lymphatic vessel to other organs
Can redirect cellular functions of host
Body of arthropods (3), what period did they originate, and what did they evolve from?
Segmented body
Hard exoskeleton
Jointed appendages
From the cabrian periods
Lobopods
What are trilobites?
early arthropods
How did arthropods evolve (2)?
Segments fused and became fewer
Appendage became specialized for variety of function
Arthropod unusual hox gene influences (2)
Both influence segmentation
Changes in the sequence or regulation of existing Hox genes
five roles of modified joined appendages in arthropods
Walking
Feeding
Sensory reception
Reproduction
Defense
What is the body of arthropods covered in, what is it made up of, and 4 roles?
overed in cuticle called exoskeleton
Layers of proteins and chitin
Provides protection
Acts as a base for muscle attachment
Enabled arthropods to live on land
Impermeable to water to prevent desiccation
Why are disadvantages of molting? (2)
Energetically expensive
Molted arthropod is subject to predation as new skeleton is soft
Three sensory organs in arthropods, and where are they found?
Eyes
Olfactory receptors
Antennae for touch and smell
Concentrated at the anterior
What kind of circulatory system do arthropods have?
Open circulatory system- has hemolymph propelled by a heart into spaces surrounding tissues and organs
Inner body of arthropods (2)
Homocoel- hemolymph-filled body sinuses
Reduced coelem
How does gas exchange occur in arthropods (3)?
Allows diffusion in spite of exoskeleton
Some Have thin, feathery gills
Some have pores in cuticles
What are the three lineages of arthropods?
Chelicerates- sea spiders, horseshoe crabs, scorpion, ticks, mites, and spiders
Myriapods- centipedes and millipedes
Pancrustaceans- insects, lobsters, shrimp, barnacles, and other crustaceans
WHat is chelicerae?
clawlike feeding appendage
Pinces or fangs
What kind of body do chelcierates have, and what do they lack and possess instead?
Anterior cephalothorax nd posterior abdomen
Lack antennae
Have simple eyes
What is the earliest chelicerate?
eurypterids- water scorpions
What do arachnids include, and the 3 types of appendages it has>
scorpions, spiders, ticks, and mites
Have six pairs of appendages
Chelicerae- to hunt prey and
secrete poison
Pedipalps- for sensing, feeding,
defense, and reproduction
Four pairs of walking legs
What are book lungs, and what animal has them?
stacked platelike structures contained in an internal chamber for gas exchange
Found in spiders
How is spider silk produced, spun, how is it learned, and used for?
Produced by a liquid protein in the abdominal gland
Spun by spinnerets into fibers
Inherited behavior
Used to droplines to escape, cover eggs, and wrap foods for courtship, and transport themselves by wind
Where are myriapods found, and what do they possess?
Terrestrial
Head has a pair of antennae and three pairs of appendages for mouthparts
how do millipedes and centipedes differ?
Millipedes
Each segment have two pairs of legs
Feed on plant matter
Centipedes
Each segment has one pair of legs
Carnivores
Possess poison claws in the foremost truck segment to paraluze prey
