Exam 2 Flashcards
Advantage to having a closed circulatory system
blood can reach further distances
Aplacophora

worm-like body (vermiform)
no true shell = calcareous spicules on epidermis
radula pierce the prey
hermaphrodites or gonochorisitc
Bivalia

CLAMS
2 shells connected by a hinge ligament
filter-feed
no radula
(anterior dorsal) umbo
2 siphons (incurrent-food/water and excurrent-waste)
hermaphrodite or gonochoristic
Cephalopoda

closed circulatory system
head-foot
beak + radula
modified foot to forms arms and siphon
2 branchial hearts
1 systemic heart
heart at end of each gill to increase blood pressure
Cephalopoda phylogeny
closed circulatory system
Cephalopods unique
have cells to change colors
change texture of skin
Phylum of Annelida
POH
Polychaeta
Clitellata
Oligochaeta
Hirudinea
crystalline style
how bilvaliva feeds since they have radula
Gastropoda

SLUGS/SNAILS
stomach foot
have operculum to prevent drying out
adults have torsion
use radula for feeding
hermaophrodites or gonochorisitic
Gastropods are mostly
hermopadite or gonochoristic
hermopadite
hemocoel
blood cavity that surrounds the heart
Most mollusc are
hermaphrodite or gonochoristic
gonochoristic
How bivalves use their gills for
ggg
Mollusca defining characteristics
radula
muscular foot
mantle
Mollusca gills are
bipectinate
Monoplacophora

LIMPETS
single cap-like shell
3- 6 pairs of gills (ctnedia)
6-7 pairs of kidneys (nephridia)
scrapes up food on ocean bottom
gonochoristic
Open circulatory system relies on
countercurrent exchange
Order of Mollusca
PAM Gets Bold Starbucks Coffee
Polyplacophora—–Aplacophora—–Monoplacophora
Gastropoda—- Bivalvia —-Scaphopoda—- Cephalopoda
Polyplacophora

CHITONS
8 plates + girdle (spicules for predation)
bipectinate gills (ctnedia)
incurrent (water in) / excurrent (waste)
counter current gas exchange
radula scrapes food
aesthetes for light receptors, chemoreceptors or mechanoreceptors
gonochorisitic
Protostomes
Eucoelomates
Mollusca
purpose of countercurrent exchange
saturate the blood with oxygen
radula
rasping organ and can have iron-oxide
supported by the odontophore
Scaphopoda

TUSK SHELL
tusk shaped conical shell open at both ends
(anterior) thread-like adhesive feeding tentacles (captacula) into the sediment
(posterior) exposed above sediment
gonochoristic
produces trochophore larvae
Shell in mollusca made of
organic and inorganic material
