Midterm 4 Flashcards
Protostome
spiral cleavage, mouth from embryonic blastopore
Deuterostomia
Radial cleavage, anus from embryonic blastopore
Lophophore
Crown of tentacles covered with cilia. Efficient feeding device. Cavity inside is part of coelom and. is fluid filled, acts as a gas exchange between environment and polemic fluid
Trochophore
A free swimming, feeding larval. stage that was a ring of ciliated cells in front of mouth
Protoroch
The ring of. cells around mouth. Mainly for locomotion but may be used for feeding
Radula
Protrusible organ in Molluscs. Has chitinous teeth pointed backwards. Moved by the odontophore
odontophore
Muscle that moves the radula. Found in Molluscs
Mantle
Secrets the shell. Wraps around each side of the body.
Mantle cavity
Space between the mantle and visceral mass. Houses the respiratory organs. Serves as a gas exchange. Digestive and reproductive systems empty into mantle cavity
Torsion
Process of anus and mantle cavity rotating 180* to above the head. Occurs at larval stage of Gastropods. Avoids the possibility of Fouling
Fouling
Waste washing back over gills
Coiling
Shell spiralling for better weight distribution. Occurs at larval stage. Right side becomes squished,
Biramous
Appendages with two distinct branches, found in crustaceans
Uniramous
Appendages unbranched/ with a single branch. Found in myriapoda, insects (hexapods)
Endostyle
One of the five chordate characteristics, ciliated sheet of mucous for food capture
