Q

Nematoda

A
  • These organisms are pseudocoelomate.
  • Some are free-living and others are obligate parasites.
  • Trichinella are nematodes that live in mammal muscle tissues. They are a health issue for humans because in some countries they can be found in pig muscle (pork – generally not in the U.S.).

Q

Describe Free-Living Nematodes (vinegar eels)

A

tiny, white worms

un-segmented roundworms, usually elongate and tapered at both ends, bilaterally symmetrical, and with a complete digestive tract. Most show considerable sexual dimorphism, with the female usually larger and the tail of the male being more curled

Free living nematodes are long thin worms with transparent and typically curled bodies

Q

Describe Parasitic Nematodes

A

Free living nematodes are long thin worms with transparent and typically curled bodies, parasitic species have a variety of less streamline shapes relating to their degenerate parasitic life styles, one unifying characteristic that makes the phylum unique is the lack of cilia or flagella, even the sperm of nematodes are amoeboid.

Q

Arthropoda

A
  • Arthropoda means jointed-foot. The presence of jointed appendages is one of the characters that unite all arthropods.
  • In addition they all share an exoskeleton composed of a complex polysaccharide called chitin, and in some species that is augmented with calcium carbonate.
  • High degree of segmentation. Segmentation is not unique to arthropods but the degree to which they have taken it is hypothesized to be one of the reasons for their incredible success.
  • Antennae, mouthparts, specialized limbs, all evolved due to increasing segmentation. Segmentation provided the raw material for natural selection to “mold” into an enormous diversity of shapes to exploit an enormous number of lifestyles

Q

Subphylum Chelicerata

A
  • (arachnids, sea spiders, horseshoe crabs and extinct giant water scorpions)
  • Like all arthropods, chelicerates have** segmented **bodies with jointed limbs, all covered in a cuticle made of chitin and proteins
  • They exhibit cephalization

Q

How many pairs of walking legs do arachnids (spiders, ticks, mites, scorpions) have?

A

All arachnids have eight legs, although the front pair of legs in some species has converted to a sensory function, while in other species, different appendages can grow large enough to take on the appearance of extra pairs of legs.

a. Appendages

2 pairs of antennae: 1st homologous to antennae of insects & myriapods, 2nd homologous to chelicerae

Q

Crustacean appendages

A

are biramous (branched).

17
Q

How many pairs of antennae do crustaceans have?

A

2 pairs

first are unirameous, 2nd are birameous

18
Q

Skeleton of Crustaceans

A

Exoskeleton

30–50 percent chitin

19
Q

Subphylum Myriapoda

A

Includes millipedes, centipedes, etc.

Segmentation

Their segments lack specialization

Show cephalization

Millipedes, centipedes and their relatives have seven-segmented legs, comprising coxa, trochanter, prefemur, femur, tibia, tarsus, and a tarsal claw.

20
Q

Subphylum Hexapoda

A

the insects as well as three much smaller groups of wingless arthropods: Collembola, Protura, and Diplura

Hexapods are named for their most distinctive feature: a consolidated thorax with three pairs of legs. Most other arthropods have more than three pairs of legs.

21
Q

Hexapoda

A

Gas exchange is important for any animal, and since we are often stuck in a vertebrate
frame of reference you might assume that terrestrial arthropods breath through their mouth like we
do. But you would be wrong. Hexapods breath through pores on the side or their abdomen called
spiracles. (Do not confuse this with the skeletal structure spicules in some sponges). Make sure
you read the lab exercise about them. What strikes me about these structures is how similar they
are to stomata in plants. Pores the organism can open and close to regulate gas exchange and
dehydration. An important ability to have if you are terrestrial. It is a nice example of convergent
evolution – very different organisms coming to a similar answer for a similar challenge

22
Q

Hexapods

A

exhibit segmentation, cephalization

23
Q

Hexapod primary body regions

A

head, thorax, abdomen

24
Q

Hexapod thorax legs

A

3 pairs of legs aatached to the thorax

25
Q

Skeletons of Insects

A

Have exoskeletons

26
Q

Insects which have evolved wings

A

beetles, butterflies, dragonflies

27
Q

Spiracles on a grasshopper

A
28
Q

What are spiracles

A

These are pores that connect tracheal tubes to the outside of an insect’s body for gas exchange.

29
Q

Morphology between mealworms and adult beetles

A
30
Q

holometabolous metamorphosis

A

Mealworm larvae undergo holometabolous metamorphosis, in which a larva changes
into an adult that is substantially different in morphology. The larva secretes a protective
case becoming a pupa, an intermediate form in which larval tissues are restructured to
form the adult
