Flatworms 2 Flashcards
corona
ciliated crown important for both feeding and locomotion
phylum rotifrea body form
free-living
digestive system of phylum rotifera
complete: mouth to anus
protonephridial tubules
excretory system that empties into common bladder
cloaca
bladder drains into it which serves as intestines and oviduct
sensory organs of the rotifer (5)
eyespots, bristles, papillae, and ciliated pits and dorsal antennae
mastax
muscular pharynx equipped with hard jaws
trophi
hard jaws
hunters
project trophy to seize prey
trappers
have a funnel-shaped area around the mouth; fold inward to entrap prey
parthenogenesis
form of asexual reproduction
winter resistant eggs lead to what?
thick resistant shell that will hatch as amitotic females
moss animals
bryozoans
bryozoa moss-like colonies form where?
stems of plants or on rocks
what are members of a colony called?
zooids
zooids secrete exoskeletons which they live in called what?
zoecium
what is a zooid’s chamber, in which they withdraw to, called?
operculum
digestion in bryozoa
- beings extracellularly in stomach
- ends intracellularly in intestine
- complete gut system
difference between coral and bryozoa?
coral- incomplete gut
bryozoa- complete gut
heterozooids
non-feeding members of a ectoproct colony
aviculariums
modified zooids that resemble bird beaks
-snap small invading organisms
vibraculum
long bristles that sweep away foreign particles
ectoprocta reproduction
- some hermaphroditic
- most brood their eggs
where does brooding occur in ectoprocta?
in the coelom or external chamber
polyembryony
embryos proliferating asexually from the initial embryo
larva of non brooding species
functional gut and swim for a few months
larva of brooding species
do not feed and settle after brief free swim
functional gut
need to feed themselves
where do the larvae of ectoprocta attach to become adults (2)
- first the substratum
- then the metamorphose
ancestrula
new colonies bringing from a single metamorphosed primary zooid
hard, resistant capsules containing a mass of germinative cells
statoblasts
-allows continuation of the colony lineage
proboscis
used to detect prey
rhynchocoel
cavity nemerteans use for hiding
what type of digestive system does a nemertean have?
complete
nemerteans circulatory system
- true
- irregular blood flow
protonephridia
used to achieve true excretory role of removing waste
