Phylum Porifera and Phylum Cnidaria Flashcards
refers to the sequence of categories in increasing or decreasing order.
Taxonomical Hierarchy
These are animals that do not contain bony structures, such as the cranium and vertebrae
Invertebrates or Invertebrata
The simplest of all invertebrates
Porifera
This phylum includes sponges
An example is Parazoans
Phylum Porifera
Cylinder shaped cavity
Spongocoel
Large common opening
Osculum
Epithelial-like cells
Pinacocytes
Extracellular matrix in porifera morphology
Mesohyl
Multiple pores that allow entry of water
Ostia
“Collar cells”
Choanocytes
“archaeocytes”
Amoebocytes
These provide additional stiffness to the body
Spicules
These are glass sponges
Hexactilenellida
Calcareous sponges
Calcarea
having a body derived from only two embryonic cell layers (ectoderm and endoderm, but no mesoderm), as in sponges and coelenterates.
Diploblastic
Specialized cells “stinging cells”
Cnidocytes
They are animals that show radial or biradial symmetry and are diploblastic. 99% of them are marine species.
Phylum Cnidaria
What are the 2 distinct morphological body plans of Phylum Cnidaria?
polyp or “stalk”
medusa or “bell”
This class includes all cnidarians with only the polyp body plan; no medusa. usually cylindrical in shape and are attached to a substrate.
Class Anthozoa
The medusa is the prominent life cycle in this class, but the polyp is still present. A bell like morphology. Includes all jellies.
Class Scyphozoa
Includes BOX shaped jellies. Considered the most venomous group of all the cnidarians.
Class Cubozoa
These are polymorphs who exhibit both polypoid and medusoid forms in their life cycle.
Class Hydrozoa
These containing organelles “stingers”
Nematocysts
This protist completes its life cycle between tse tse fly, and causes african sleeping sickness
Trypanosoma brucei, GROUP: Excavata
This protist causes Giardisis or diarrhea
Giardia Lamblia, GROUP: Excavata
This protist causes malaria
Plasmodium , GROUP: Chromoalveolata
This generates water current and filters food particles from water
Choanocytes
Delivers nutrients to cells and differentiates into other cell types
Amoebocyte
Controls water flow through ostia
Porocyte
Secretes silica spicules
Sclerocyte
These secrete collagen
Lophocyte or collenocyte
This protist is a species of green sea weed
Caulerpa taxifolia, GROUP: Archaeplastida
This protist produces intricate mineral skeletons and can build their own skeleton
Radiolarians
