Invertebrates Part 1 Flashcards
Sedentary animals from the phyla Calcarea and Silicea
Sponges
lack true tissues and organs
Sponges
Capture food particles suspended in the water that pass through their body
Suspension feeders
flagellated collar cells that generate water current thru sponge and ingest suspended food
choanocytes
Opening at top of sponge
osculum
cavity where water is stored in sponge
spongocoel
found in mesohyl and play role in digestion and structure
Amoebocyte
All animals except ________ and few belong to _________
Sponges, Eumetazoa
Symmetry of cnidarians
Radial
Sessile cnidarian with the tentacles and mouth at the top
Polyp
Motile cnidarian with the tentacles and the mouth pointing down
Medusa
are carnivores and use tentacles to capture prey
cnidarians
Unique cells that function in defense and capture of prety
Cnidocytes
specialized organelles w/in cnidocytes that eject a stinging thread
nematocysts
Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa, Cubuzoa, Anthozoa
Four classes of phylum cnidaria
mostly marine, few freshwater, both polyp and medusa stages in most species, polyp stage often colonial
Hydrozoa
all marine, polyp stage reduced/absent. Free swimming medusa (JELLIES)
Scyphozoa
all marine, box-shaped medusa, potent venom
Cubozoa
all marine, medusa stage absent, most sessile, many colonial (POLYPS)
Anthozoa
have the widest range of animal body forms
Lophotrochozoans
Lophotrochozoa, Ecdysozoa, Deuterostomia
make up clade Bilateria
live in marine, freshwater and damp terrestrial habitats
Platyhelminthes
are acoelomates despite undergoing triploblastic development
flatworms
have no specialized circulatory system, incomplete digestive system (gastrovascular cavity)
Platyhelminthes
Turbellaria, Monogenea, Trematoda, Cestoda
4 classes of Platyhelminthes
best known turbellarians, used in bioremediation and stem cell research
Planarians
parasites of vertebrates and have no digestive system
Tapeworm
are hermaphrodites and can reproduce sexually/asexually thru fission
Planarians
are smaller than many protists but are multicellular and have specialized organ systems
Rotifers
Reproduce by parthenogenesis
Rotifers
Females produce offspring from unfertilized eggs
parthenogenesis
Most hydrozoans alternate between _____ and ____ form
Polyp and Medusa
includes box jellies and sea wasps, often have highly toxic cnidocytes
Cubozoans
Includes corals and sea anemones, occur only as polyps
Anthozoans
have an alimentary canal (digestive tube with separate mouth and anus that lies w/in pseudocoelom)
Rotifers
are diploblastic and radially symmetrical, also have complete digestive system
Ctenophores
comb jellies, sea walnuts. Many have colloblasts used for capturing prey
Ctenophores
are acoelomates
Platyhelminthes
are eucoelomates and are segmented
Annelida
derive nutrition from a primary host (vertebrate) as well as intermediary host (snail)
digenetic flukes
