Invertebrate Animals Flashcards
Porifera
sponges
- lack true tissues
- have choanocytes (collar cells)
choanocytes
flagellated cells that ingest bacteria and tiny food particles)
cnidaria
jellies, sea anemones
- unique stinging structures (nematocysts)
- radial symmetry
gastro vasc cavity (digestive comp. w/ one opening)
Platyhelminthes
flatworms
- dorsoventrally flattened
- unsegmented acoelomates
- gastro vasc or no digestive tract
rotifera
rotifers, pseudocoelomates
- alimentary canal (dig. w/ mouth and anus)
lophophorates, ectoprocta, brachiopoda
coelomates with lophophores
lophophorates
feeding structures bearing ciliated tentacles
molluscs
clams, squids, snails
- coelamates w/ 3 body partsnema
annelida
segmented worms
- coelomates w/ segmented body wall and internal organs
nematoda
roundworms
- cylindrical, unsegmented psuedocoelomates w/ tapered ends
arthropoda
crustaceans, insects, spiders
echinoderma
sea stars, urchins
- coelomates with bilaterally symmetrical larvae and 5-part body organization
chordata
lancelets, tunicates
- coelomates w/ notochord, dorsal nerve cord, pharygenal slits, post anal tail
Protostome (3 things, 1 animal)
mollusks
1. They have a spiral cleavage of their embryos
2. determinate cleavage (fate of each embryonic cell is determined early on in cleavage process)
3. mouth develops from blastopore
Deuterostome
echinoderms
1. They have radial cleavage of their embryos
2. indeterminate cleavage (each cell can be and embryo or stem cell)
3. Anus develops from a blastopore
