Lab 5 - Mollusca Flashcards
what does HAM stand for?
hypothetical ancestral mollusc
Polyplacophora has (1)
chitons
Bivalvia has (2)
clams and mussels
Cephalopoda has (4)
octopus, squid, cuttlefish, and nautilus
Gastropoda has (2)
snails and slugs
Scaphopoda has (1)
tusk/tooth shells
four body regions of HAM
head, foot, visceral mass, and mantle
HAM: head
contains sensory organs and muscles
HAM: foot
a muscular structure used for locomotion (usually)
HAM: visceral mass
all the inners including digestive, reproductive, and circulatory organs
HAM: mantle (3)
epidermal layer that covers all of the visceral mass, delimits the mantle cavity, and it also secretes a shell in species that have one
Mollusks are an excellent example of _____ _____
adaptive radiation
Mollusca: organization level
organ level
Mollusca: development (3)
triploblastic, protostomes, eucoelomates
Mollusca: symmetry
bilateral
Mollusca: digestive
complete gut
Mollusca: support
CaCO2 shell secreted by mantle
Mollusca: excretion
via metanephridia
Mollusca: circulation
open circulatory system
what is the only class of Mollusca that has a closed circulatory system?
Cephalopoda
Mollusca: locomotion
generally a muscular foot (not Cephalopoda)
Mollusca: locomotion in Cephalopods
foot is modified into tentacles and they used jet propulsion instead
Mollusca: sensory
complex sensory organs including a brain and eye in Cephalopods
Mollusca: reporduction
monoecious or dioecious?
most are dioecious
The _____ is present in most molluscs except bivalves
radula
radula
rasping mouthpart used for cutting/scrapping make of a chitinous ribbon of minute teeth
feeding: Polyplacophora
herbivore
feeding: Gastropoda
mixed herbivore/carnivore
feeding: Scaphopoda
deposit feeder
feeding: Bivalvia
filter feeder
feeding: Cephalopoda
carnivore
How do land snails and slugs deal with respiration?
vascularized mantle that acts like lungs
Mollusca: respiration
gills mostly, except species on land

Defining feature of Class Gastropoda (2)
torsion - body rotates 180º
- anus is above the mouth
What do Heterobranchia have a secondary loss of?
torsion
where are members of Class Gastropoda found?
both aquatic and terrestrial
coiling of the shell: planispiral (2)
- coiling occurs in a single plain
- thought to be the ancestral form
coiling of the shell: conispiral (2)
- coiling creates a spiral in 3D
- sinistral vs. dextral
sinistral
left-handed coiling
dextral
right-handed coiling
what class does Subclass Prosobranchia belong to?
Class Gastropoda
where can members of Subclass Prosobranchia be found?
mainly marine; shelled aquatic snails
Subclass Prosobranchia (2)
what is special about them?
- mantle is modified for form the siphon
- have an operculum
siphon
brings water to the ctenidia
operculum
hard covering over the aperture
what Class does Subclass Heterobranchia belong to?
Class Gastropoda
Where can members of Subclass Heterobranchia be found? (3)
marine, freshwater, and terrestrial snails and slugs
does Subclass Heterobranchia have a shell?
it is very reduced or absent
defining feature of Subclass Heterobranchia
origin
includes gastropods with a gill origin different from that of other members
what Subclass does Infraclass Euthyneura belong to?
Subclass Heterobranchia
