Q

Annelida traits

A

Bilaterally symmetrical

Circular and longitudinal muscles

Complete digestive system

Found in marine, terrestrial, and freshwater habitats

Protected by a cuticle (unlike nematodes it is thin enough to grow and does not need to shed)

Chaetae- chitinous hairlike extensions from the cuticle

Closed circulatory system with muscular pumping “hearts”

Can be monoecious (earthworms/ leaches) or diecious (polycheates)

21
Q

Echinoderm traits

A

Radially symmetrical

water vascular system.- central ring that extends to each arm for gas, nutrient and waste exchange – regulated by the madreporite

“Tube feet,” which protrude through openings in the endoskeleton to allow for movement

22
Q

Four common features appear at some point in chordate development:

Notochord

dorsal hollow nerve cord

Pharyngeal slits

post-anal tail

note
(some of these traits are present only during embryonic development)

23

dorsal hollow nerve cord:

A

Derived from ectoderm

develops into the brain and spinal cord

A

Chondrichthyes Osteichthyes

29
Q

Chondrichthyes

A

Cartilaginous fishes have a flexible skeleton made of cartilage, multiple external gill slits, placoid scales do not grow (only in number)

30
Q

Osteichthyes

Thought to be extinct until on was
caught in 1938. Deep sea trench
Dweller, can use its fins to “walk.”

34
Q

Class Amphibia traits

Usually need water to reproduce since eggs do not contain an amnion (membrane in egg)
