Lab 9 Flashcards
Only one plane of bisection produces left and right mirror image halves
Bilaterally symmetric
A characteristic of bilateral organisms is that the bost is polarized along two perpendicular axes the _____ axis and the ____ axis
anterior-posterior (head-tail)
dorsal-ventral (back-belly)
Flatworms are in phylum
Platyhelmithes
Roundworms are in phylum
Nematoda
Segmented worms are in phylum
Annelida
The tissue that gives rise to the covering of the animal
ectoderm
Gives tise to the lining of the digestive tract
endoderm
Forms the muscles and most other organs between the gut and outer covering
Mesoderm
Flatworms lack an internal body cavity, apart from an incomplete digestive tract and as such are referred to as
acoelomates
Roundworms have a body cavity located between the mesoderm and endoderm. This type of body cavity is referred to as
pseudocoel
Annelids have a body cavity that develops entirely within the mesodermal layer. Their body cavity is referred to as a
true coelom
Animals with a true coelom including mollusks, echinoderms, arthropods, and chordates are called
coelomates
The cavity in the endoderm is called the
alimentary canal
A body cavity can also serve as a ___ particularly in soft-bodied worms like nematodes and annelids.
hydrostatic skeleton
Uses muscular contractions to displace fluid within a cavity, thereby exerting force and changing the shape of the cavity
hydrostatic skeleton
Flatworms exhibit ___ and a level of complexity that exceeds that found in Radiata and Porifera
cephalization
Flatworms lack a circulatory system and thus are ____ with respect to transportation of nutrients and oxygen
diffusion-limited
Individuals in most species of flatworms are ___ they have male and female structures
monoecious/hermaphroditic
Many flatworms are ___ living within the bodies of other animals. Some examples mentioned ___
Parasitic
FLukes and tapeworms
____ flatworms feed on small animal and organic debris such as class Turbellaria
Free-living
Free living flatworms found in marine environments
Turbellarians
A flatworm commonly known as planaria, is found in freshwater, what we looked at in lab.
Dugesia
The head of the Dugesia flatworm has lateral lobes and light-sensitive ____
eyespots
