nervous system

21
Q

class Mollusca

A

includes

  • class bivalvia (clams and oysters)
  • class Gastropoda (snails and slugs)
  • class Cephalopoda (octopus and squid)
22
Q

all members of Mollusca must have

A
  1. mantle
    - tissues that secretes shell material, calcium carbonate H20 out of siphon
  2. Muscular Foot
    - locomotary or clinging foot
  3. Soft-bodied
23
Q

Class Bivalvia (2 valves) (clams, oysters, mussels)

A
  • sessile
  • filter feeders
  • range of habitats due to siphon and shell
  • open circulatory system with 2 chambered heart
24
Q

Class bivalvia siphon and shells

A
  • siphon (double tube) take in food and oxygen get rid of waste and CO2
  • shell 2 part shell, closes tightly and retain water necessary for survival
25
class bivalvia circulatory system
Open circulatory system with 2 chambered heart § Blood delivered to sinuses (chambers) in tissues § Soaks tissues delivering oxygen and removing carbon dioxide § Blood can be withheld in a sinus, causing tissue to swell up
26
clams foot
can be extended and used as an anchor to aid in movement
27
bivalvia are sessile animals
- they broadcast gametes into water for distribution and possible fertilization - trocophorelarva (similar to Annelids) develops from zygote - gills exchange gases with water drawn in through siphon
28
bivalvia digestive tract
- simple,short - undigested material released through anus back into water via siphon - nephridia, removes metabolic waste-localized to one region
29
bivalvia nervous system
- not highly specialized due to sessile slow moving lifestyle - brain area + nerve cords operate foot and siphon
30
Class Gastropoda (stomach foot) (snails, shells) (Slug, no shell)
- snail mantle located around open edge of shell - Foot: compromises soft tissue mass on ventral surface - muscular undulations allow slow movement - slime acts as a lubricant when crawling - radula (tongue-like structure with bony plates) for feeding
31
Class Gastrapoda are what
- hermaphroditic (annelids, exchange sperm between reproductive organs on ventral surface) - fertilization occurs later; eggs deposited in damp places
32
class Gastropoda nervous system
- light sensitive "eyes" on retractable antennae - cephalized with distinct head region - 2 chambered hearts - open circulatory
33
Class Cephalopoda (head foot) (squid, cuttlefish, octopus, nautilus.)
- Most highly evolved/specialized members of phylum - hunters noted for subdivided foot, large heads, well-developed nervous systems and move quickly - closed circulatory system - zoom zoom fast - Efficient swimmers, move by jet propulsion water is forced out of siphon
34
class cephalopoda eye
-similar ability to learn and behave in a complex manner
