Arthropoda examples
insects, crustaceans
Arthropoda characteristics
Largest phylum
functional segmentation of the body
the presence of jointed appendages
exoskeleton made principally of chitin
coelom takes the form of a hemocoel (or blood cavity).
Open circulatory system
Examples of mollusca
clams, barnacles, octupus, snail
Mollusca attributes
Asymmetrical
Gil – oxygen exchange
Radula – scrapes food particles
Nephridia- excretion of waste
GI tract –have “gastric torsion”
Circulatory system
Reproductive organs
Mollusca Classes
Aplacophora
Monoplacophora
Polyplacophora
Bivalvia
Gastropoda
Cephalopoda
Scaphopoda. (“boat feet”)
Quality of mollusca class Aplacophora
shell-less and marine. Found worldwide
Quality of mollusca class Monoplacophora
have a single, cap-like shell enclosing the body.
Quality of mollusca class Polyplacophora
bear an armor-like, eight-plated shell
Ex of mollusca class Bivalvia
(“two shells”) clams, oysters, mussels, scallops, and geoducks.
Ex of mollusca class Gastropoda
(stomach foot)- snails, slugs, conchs, sea hares
Ex of mollusca class Cephalopoda
(“head foot” animals)- octopuses, squids, cuttlefish, and nautilus.
mollusca class Scaphopoda are also known as ____ ____
“boat feet”
Annelida are ___
segmented worms
Annelida traits
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)
