Invertebrates Flashcards
Porifera
Sponge is in this phylum.
Cnidaria
phylum containing over 10,000 species of animals found exclusively in aquatic environments: they are predominantly marine species.
Annelida
also known as the ringed worms or segmented worms, are a large phylum, with over 17,000 extant species including ragworms, earthworms, and leeches
Hydroid
field-proven technology leader in advanced marine robotics specifically, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Jellyfish
major non-polyp form of individuals of the phylum Cnidaria. They are typified as free-swimming marine animals consisting of a gelatinous umbrella-shaped bell and trailing tentacles.
Platyhelminthes
flatworms, or Platyhelminthes, Plathelminthes, or platyhelminths are a phylum of relatively simple bilaterian, unsegmented, soft-bodied invertebrates.
Nematoda
Roundworms, diverse animal phylum inhabiting a very broad range of environments
Pinworms
also known as threadworm or seatworm, is a parasitic worm. It is a nematode and a common intestinal parasite or helminth, especially in humans
Tapeworms
Cestoda is a class of parasitic flatworms, of the phylum Platyhelminthes.
Bivalves
referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, comprise a class of marine and freshwater molluscs that have laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts
Cephalopods
any member of the molluscan class Cephalopoda. These exclusively marine animals are characterized by bilateral body symmetry, a prominent head, and a set of arms or tentacles modified from the primitive molluscan foot.
Gastropods
commonly known as snails and slugs, are a large taxonomic class within the phylum Mollusca.
Coelomate
have a fluid filled body cavity called a coelom with a complete lining called peritoneum derived from mesoderm
Acoelomate
an invertebrate lacking a coelom
Radial Symmetry
organism can be divided into similar halves by any plane that contains the main axis.
