Platyhelminthes, Nematoba, Annlida Flashcards
Advances of Platyhelminthes over Cnidaria
- 3 germ layers ecto, meso, endo
- Bilateral symmetry
- cephalization
- regeneration
- flame cells
Advances of Nematoda over Platyhelminthes
- Pseudocoelom
- complete digestive tract
- reproduce sexually
Advances of Annelida over Nematoda
- segmented
- True coelom
List the digestive structure of Platyhelminthes
Pharynx- mouth- G.V.C- intestine
List the digestive structure of Nematoda
Mouth- pharynx- intestine- anus
List the digestive structure of Annelida
Mouth- pharynx- esophagus- crop- gizzard- intestine- anus
These worms do not have a coelom and are therefore called acoelomates
Flat
A thickened band of segments towards the anterior end of an earthworm which secretes a mucus cocoon into which sperm and eggs are released
Clitellum
This worm grows in the appendages of its host and must be removed slowly by wrapping it around a stick
Guinea
Internal walls between each segment in an earthworm
Septa or septum
This phylum contains unsegmented round worms
Nematoda
Blood-sucking organisms which are part of phylum annelida
Leeches
A body cavity which forms in more advanced animals
Coelom
This muscular structure in the gut of the earthworm grinds food into smaller pieces
Gizzard
These worms cause the condition elephantiasis
Filarial
The phylum which includes worms which are flat
Platyhelminthes
Specialized excretory organs in segmented roundworms which filter fluid in the coelom
Nephridia
Small parasitic flatworms which live in the tissues of there hosts- like the liver and blood
Flukes
This coating on the outside of a tapeworm stops it from being digested by its host
Cuticle
Bristly, hairlike structures found on each segment of an earthworm which aid in movement
Setae
