Exam 3 Ch 13 Flashcards
What three Phyla are included in Clade Panarthropoda?
Arthropoda, Onychophora, and Tardigrada
Clade Ecdysozoa includes what four phyla?
Nematoda, Onychophora, Tardigrada, Arthropoda.
What is the only phyla we studied that is a protostome but uses enterocoely?
Tardigrada
Characteristics of Clade Panarthropoda?
segmented w paired appendages
hemocoel and open circulation
ecdysis
eucoelomates
Common name of Phylum Onychophora?
Velvet worms
Characteristics of Phylum Onychophora?
Fusion and modification of segments Dioecious Nocturnal Lobopods: walking appendages slime glands (for capturing prey) restricted to humid, tropical/temperate regions due to thin, permeable exoskeleton open spiracles(breathing, cannot close)
Characteristics of sense organs in Phylum Onychophora?
well developed eyes
taste spines
tactile papillae (sensory)
hygroscopic (tests humidity)
What is the common name of Phylum Tardigrada?
waterbear/moss piglet
characteristics of Phylum Tardigrada?
900 species less than one mm long dioecious mostly terrestrial but require moisture crawl awkwardly
Form and function of Tardigrades? (1-3)
1 body covered by non-chitinous cuticle
- 4 pairs, short, stubby unjointed legs
- no cir/resp (diffusion across body)
Form and Function of Tardigrades? (4-7)
- only longitudinal muscles
- hydrostatic skeleton
- relatively large brain
- eyes and ocelli present
Which phylum undergoes cryptobiosis?
Tardigrada
Characteristics of Phylum Arthropoda’s Tracheal system?
- transports oxygen directly to cells and tissues to allow high metabolic rates
- aquatic members have gills (no spiracles)
- oxygen enters via spiracles for terrestrials which can open and close (unlike velvet worms)
Characteristics of Phylum Arthropoda’s sensory organs?
- eyes are simple light sensitive ocelli to compound eyes
- mechano- and chemoreceptive hairs
- hearing, balancing, and chemical reception
Characteristics of Phylum Arthropoda’s exoskeleton?
protects hardening accomplished by sclerotization and salt deposition reduces dessication provides structural support enhances mobility contains chitin molts controlled by ecdysone
