Phylum includes snails and slugs, oysters and clams, and octopuses and squids
Mollusca
are soft bodied animals, but most protected by hard shell
Molluscs
all molluscs have same body plan with 3 main parts
muscular foot, visceral mass, mantle
Polyplacophora, Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Cephalopoda
4 major classes of molluscs
most distinctive characteristics of gastropods
torsion
the animal’s anus and mantle ends up above its head
torsion
includes clams, oysters and scallops
Bivalves
shell divided into 2 halves
bivalves
includes squids, octopi, nautilus
Cephalopod
have a closed circulatory system, well developed sense organs and complex brain
Cephalopods
bodies made up of series of fused rings
Annelids
Oligochaeta, Polychaeta, Hirudinea
3 classes of Phylum Annelida
named for relatively sparse chaeta, have bristles made of chitin
Oligochaetes
include earthworms and variety of aquatic species
Oligochaetes
includes leeches
Hirudinea
chemical secreted by leeches that prevents blood from coagulating
hirudin
the most species rich animal group
Ecdysozoans
Are covered by a cuticle coat
Ecdysozoans
the process of shedding or molting the cuticle in ecdysozoans
ecydis
two largest phyla of ecdysozoans
nematodes and arthropods
have an alimentary canal, but lack a circulatory system.
nematodes
Members of this phylum are found in nearly all habitats of biosphere
Arthropoda
body plan consists of segment body, hard exoskeleton, and jointed appendages
Arthropod
Arthropods have an open circulatory system with fluid called
hemolymph
Cheliceriforms, Myriapods, Hexapods, Crustaceans
four major lineages of arthropods
Most modern cheliceriforms are ________
arachnids
gas exchange in spiders occurs in
book lungs
many spiders produce _____ (a protein)
Silk
Millipede class
Diplopoda
Centipede class
Chilopoda
has more species than all other forms of life combined
Hexapoda (insects and relatives)
is one of the great successes of insects
Flight
nymphs resemble adults but are smaller and go through series of molts until full size
incomplete metamorphosis
have larval stages known as maggot, grub, or caterpillar
complete metamorphosis
have branched appendages that are extensively specialized for feeding and locomotion
Crustaceans
include terrestrial, freshwater and marine species
Isopods
are larger crustaceans and include crabs, lobsters, crayfish and shrimp
Decapods
Echinoderms and chordates are ________
Deuterostomes
Radial cleavage, formation of mouth at end of embryo opposite blastopore
characteristics of deuterstomes
network of hydraulic canals that branch into tube feet, function in feeding, locomotion and gas exchange
water vascular system
there are about _______ species of vertebrates
52,000
are a subphylum within the phylum Chordata
Vertebrates
are bilaterian animals that belong to the clade of animals known as Deuterostomia
Chordates
two groups of invertebrates that are more closely related to vertebrates than to other invertebrates
urochordates and cephalocordates
notochord, dorsal, hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits or clefts, muscular, post anal tail
Four key characteristics of chordates
longitudinal, flexible rod between digestive tube and nerve chord
notochord
provides skeletal support throughout most of the length of a chordate
notochord
grooves of pharynx that develop into slits that open to outside of body
pharyngeal clefts
Suspension-feeding structures in many invertebrate chordates, gas exchange in vertebrates (except vertebrates w/ limbs), develop into parts of the ear, head and neck in tetrapods
Functions of pharyngeal slits
named for their blade-like shape. Are marine suspension feeders
Lancelets
more closely related to other chordates than lancelets. Commonly called sea squirts
Tunicates (urochordata)
Juveniles of these have notochord ,not adults
Tunicates
