Lec 3: Anthropoda, Annelida, Ectoproda, Brachiopoda Flashcards
Phylum Anthropoda
Largest phylum in animal kingdom (insects, arachnids, crustaceans, myriapods) Segmented body, chitin exoskeleton, bilateral symmetry, triploblastic, coelomate, developed sensory, open circulatory sys (no veins) molting
Class Trilobita (phylum anthropoda)
Extinct marine arthropods, first to develop hard exoskeletons, help date rock layers, dominant, paleozoic
Class merostomata (phylum anthropoda)
Horseshoe crabs, blood used to detect bacteria contamination in biotech, specialized mouthpart chelicerae (food)
Class arachnida (phylum anthropoda)
Spiders, scorpions, ticks, mites. 4 sets of legs, chelicera (fangs) pedipalp (sensing/feeding) book lung (gas exchange, spiders/scorps) tracheal tube (ticks, mites)
Subphylum myriapoda (phylum anthropoda)
millipedes, centipedes. elongated body, many legs, antennae, mandibles (feeding) Ocelli (“simple eyes”)
class diplopoda (Subphylum Myriapoda)
Millipedes, 2 walking legs per seg. , segmented, herbivores
Class chilopoda (subphylum myriapoda)
Centipedes, one pair legs per seg. , carnivorous, venomous
Class Insecta (phylum anthropoda)
Enormous diversity, metamorphosis chrysalis or cocoon (complete Meta) or nymph to adult (incomplete) coevolution with pollinators
Phylum Annelida
Segmented worms. Bilateral symmetry, coelomate, complete digestive system, closed circulatory system
Class Polychaeta (phylum Annelida)
“Marine worms” Parapodia (paddle like appendages for locomotion/respiration/sensation) Setae ( hair-like structure, locomotion/sensory) Distinct head
Class Clitellata (phylum Annelida)
Leeches (hirudinea) and earthworms (oligochaeta) Bilateral, triploblastic, coelomate, open gut, *clitellum (saddle-like region of adult body, responsible for production of mucus/eggs in reproduction)
Phylum Brachiopoda
“Lamp shells” (look like clams) 2 shell halves, smaller half = dorsal, larger = ventral. Lophophore (cilliated feeding structure) Pedicle (foot used to attach to ocean floor) Sessile (non moving, uses pedicle)
Phylum Ectoprocta
“Bryozoans” (moss animals) Primarily colonial, individuals called zooids, often connected by shared exoskeleton. Lophophore (cilliated filter feeding structure) Sessile (non moving, attach to hard surfaces)
class maxillopoda (subphylum crustacea)
Barnacles, copepods (zooplankton) nauplius larva = free swimming crustacean larvae
Class malacostraca (subphylum crustacea)
Krill (zooplankton) Crabs, lobsters, shrimp, crayfish
