Q

How are the coelomes of the different phyla of worms different?

A

Coelomates have mesoderm derived tissue lining the coelom all around the body cavity and the organs.

Blastocoelomates coeloms are lined by mesoderm tissue only on the outside of the cavity.

Q

How do platyhelminthes osmoregulate?

A

Tubules run from parenchyma to pores on outside of the body used and if you expand one of those you would see excretory duct/nephridiapore. the rest of the tubule is buried in the parenchyma and contains flame cells at the end of it to draw water through it and down through the tubule. This structure contains cilia which allows liquid movement.

Some of this fluid can be reabsorbed by the worm in the excretory duct to form more concentrated excretion.

Q

What is the syncytial tegument?

A

Replaces ciliated epidermis and this is a joining of cells within the parenchyma to the outer zone of the neodermis in a way that the cytoplasm of these cells is continuous with this zone.

As a result this layer is multinucleated and as a result has immune evading capabilities.

Q

What is the life cycle of the liver fluke?

A

1) Adults undergo Sexual reproduction releasing fertilized eggs in human faecies
2) Egg contains miracidium which hatches after being eaten by a snail or burrow into snail’s body
3) Miracidium undergo asexual reproduction in the snail creating sporocysts and redia in massive numbers.
4) Redia form Cercaria which swim through the water habitat to enter fish.
5) Humans eat fish reintroducing more liver flukes into the new life cycle.

54
Q

What are the advantages of having a coelom?

A

Muscular movements of digestive tract isolated from outer body wall and skeletal muscular movements

Coelom can function in circulation, waste removal, gamete storage, and gamete release

55
Q

What is metameric segmentation?

A

Body is divided into segments with serially repeating organ systems.

What is serial homology?

A

All segments arised from the same body plan and developmental origin

57
Q

What are the advantages of metameric segmentation?

A

Improved locomotion efficiency using hydrostatic skeleton

Independent nervous control and movement of segments

Architectural redundancy allows specialisation of segments as well as survival/regeneration when segments are lost.

58
Q

How does peristaltic motion work?

A

1) Circular muscles contract creating longer and thinner segments
2) Forward segments form an anchor when longitudinal muscles contract and fatten them.
3) The longitudinal muscles bring the entire body of the worm forwards

59
Q

How does the metanephridium?

A

Opens on one end to the segment before it and opens on the other end to the outside via nephridiopore

60
Q

What are the features of the polychaete class?

A

Mostly marine

61
Q

What are parapodia?

A

Fleshy lobes found in polychaetae. Setae protrude from these parapodia.

62
Q

What is a trochophore larva?

A

The larvae of annelids with bands of cilia around them.

63
Q

What is the cycle that benthic aquatic invertebrates usually follow during their life?

A

Most benthic aquatic invertebrates have a planktonic larval stage that disperses.

Adult stage associated with substratum

Larvae respond to various cues from physical and biological environment when selecting settlement site

64
Q

How do larvae choose where they settle on the substratum?

A

Cues are used by larvae to know whether they want to settle down on a surface or not. Some larvae react positively while others react negatively

65
Q

How do polychaete feed?

A

Q

What is the function of the eversible pharynx?

A

picks up particles from around by extending the pharynx

69
Q

How do modified parapodia assist in filter feeding?

A

Water moves through a hollow tube which leads to the mouth and food gets caught in a mucous net and is directed to a food cup.

70
Q

What are the features of siboglonid polychaetes?

A

No mouth, gut, or anus

Which classes share the clitellum? What is the clittelum?

A

Clitellum is an important organ for fertilization to take place and to eventually form a cocoon.
