FINAL EXAM SEGMENT Flashcards
Porifera
- Spongers
- Sessile as Adults
- No nervous, digestive, respiratory or reproductive system
- no true tissue of cephalization
- have choanocytes
Osculum
Large opening where water is removed/excreted from the sponge
Ostia
A spore that draws in H2O
Spongocoel
Body cavity
Mesohyl
Acts as a endoskeleton and supports the shape of the sponge
Lophocyte/collenocyte
makes collagen
Pinacocyte
forms outer covering of the sponge
Oocyte
Egg cell
Porocyte
control water flow through the ostia
Amoebocyte
stem cells of the sponge that can turn itself into spongocytes, lophocytes, collencytes, sclerocytes
Sclerocytes
creates silica spicules
Choanocytes
generates water current and filters food particles from water
Porifera reproduction
asexually: fragmentation or budding
Sexually: hermaphroditic
- they have flagellated larvae that disperse and then settle (they can move)
Cnidaria contains which species?
Jellyfish, hydra, sea anemones, corals
Two aquatic forms of Cnidaria
sessile polyp and drifting/free-swimming medusa
Cnidaria Characteristics
- Sac like body w/ gastrovascular cavity
- Mesoglea
- Simple nervous system (non-centralized nerve net)
Mesoglea
(Cnidaria) non cellular layers which function as a hydrostatic skeleton (flexible and supported by fluid pressure)
Defining cell of Cndarians
Cnidocytes
Cnidocytes
contain a nemocyst inside the cnidocytes which is what they use to catch prey.
Lophotrochozoa
- express bilateral symmetry
- some develop a lophophore or trocchophore larval stage (some could have neither)
Lophophore
crown of ciliate tentacles that are used for feeding
Trochophore (larval stage)
2 bands of short cilia
Species within Lophotrochozoa
- Platyhelminthes
- Syndermata
- Ectoprocta
- Branchipoda
- Annelida
- Mollusca
- Gasreoreicha, Cycliophora, Nemertea
Platyhelminthes
(flatworms)
- Acelomates & triploblastic
- gastrovascular cavity with one opening that is highly branched
- nervous system consist of ganglia, ventral nerve cords, eyesports
- O2 / CO2 exchange is through diffusion
Ganglia
(flatworms) dense clusters of nerve cell bodies
Ventral nerve cords
(flatworms) ganglia + eyespot
Platyhelminthes excretory system
protonephridia w/ flame cells (cilia moves and waste is excreted)
Tape worms
type of flatworm; contain no gastrointestinal cavity because they absorb nutrient directly from host’s intestines using their scolex.
Characteristics of Syndermata
- crown of cilia (draws vortex of water into the mouth)
- Pesudocoelom
- Alimentary canal
- Parthenogenesis
Alimentary canal
Syndermata; digestive tube with two openings
Parthenogenesis
type of asexual reproduction where females produce more females from unfertilized eggs
Characteristics of Mollusca
- calcium carbonate shell
- most are marine
- cephalization in all except clade bivalvia
- complete digestive system with radula to feed
- gills or simple lungs
- open circulatory system
- trochophore larvae
4 majors clades of Mollusca
- Polyplacophora (chitons)
- Gastropoda (snail & slugs)
- Bivalvia (clams & oysters)
- Cephalopoda (squids & octopi)
Body plan of molluscs
- muscular foot
- visceral mass
- outer mantle
Excretory organ in Molluscs and annelida
Metanephridium
Muscular foot
molluscs; aids in locomotion
Visceral mass
molluscs; where internal organs and well developed organ systems are located
Open circulatory system
blood (hemolymph) is pumped into the hemocoel where is surrounds the organs and returns to the heart.
Annelida
Segmented worms
1. segmentation (metamerism)
2. soft body
3. well developed organ systems
4. gas exchange occurs across moist body surface
Two majors clades of annelids
Errantia and Sedentaria
Errantia
- most mobile marine predators
- fleshy parapodia (locomotion and gas exchange )
- detects prey with long sensory organs called cirri
Sedentaria
- less mobile
- elaborate tentacles used for filter feeding
Earth worms
Sedentarians who are deposit feeders with few bristles and no parapodia
Leeches
Sedentarians with no bristles or parapodia and have an anti-coagulant called hirudin in them.
Ecdysozoans
- crayfish, lobster, crabs, barnacles, spiders, ticks and insects
- covered by a cuticle made out of chitin]
- cuticle is molted through ecdysis
- largest phyla are nematodes and arthropods
Nematoda
- roundworms
- pseudocoelom
- covered by tough cuticle (exoskeleton)
- parasites (trichinosis and elephantiasis are diseases caused by roundworms)
Characteristics of Arthropoda
-segmented body in 2-3 parts
- exoskeleton / cuticle
- exoskeleton limits growth & final body size
- jointed appendages
- open circulatory system
Gas exchange in Arthropoda
- aquatic species have hemolymph pumped through feather gills
- terrestrial spp. have tracheae and book lungs whih takes air directly to cells for gas exchange
- circulatory system is not involved in gas exchange in insects
Chelicerates
- arachnids, spiders, scorpions
- feed using chelicerae
- no antennae
- body plan: cephalothorax + abdomen
Chelicerates appendages
6 appendages
- 1 pair of pedipalps
- 4 pairs of walking legs
- 1 pair of feeding apendages (chelicerate)
characteristics of Myriapods
clade within arthropods
- chewing mandible for feeding
