Protostomes- Chapter 34 Flashcards
no body cavity
acoelomate
body cavity between mesoderm and endoderm (called the pseudocoel)
pseudocoelomates
body cavity entirely within the mesoderm (called the coelom
coelomates
What does a coelomate body design allow for?
(1) repositions bod fluid
(2) allows complex tissues/organs to develop
(3) allows for a larger body size
a zygote divides to form a ________, a hollow ball of cells
blastula
blastula indents to form a two-layer-thick ball with a _____________, which is an opening to the digestive system
blastopore
_______________ develop the mouth first from the blatopore. If an anus develops, it comes from another region of the embryo
Protostomes
What is the cleavage pattern of the embryonic cells in Protostomes?
spiral cleavage, cells “move” as they divide, happens to the subgroup Spiralia
What is the developmental fate of Protostome cells?
determinate development, embryonic cells will form specific body regions, remove one and development ceases
How does the coelom originate in Protostomes?
it forms simple and directly from splitting the mesoderm
What advantages does segmentation allow for?
(1) allows redundant organ systems in adults (annelids and arthropods)
(2) allows for more efficient and flexible movement because each segment can move independently
grow by adding mass to an existing body, obvious spiral cleavage
Spiralians
wide variety of sizes and body forms, live in many different environments, include snails, slugs, clams, octopuses
Mollusks
most groups have remained in the oceans, many are delicious, pearls are produced in oysters, can be pests
Mollusks
What is the Mollusk body plan?
bilaterally symmetrical, except for cephalopods, all mollusks have an open circulatory system (organs are bathed in blood and lymph), a muscular foot is adapted for locomotion, attachment, and food capture
epidermis that covers the dorsal side of the body, forms a cavity which houses the respiratory organs and the openings of excretory, reproductive, and digestive organs, these organs together form the visceral mass
mantle
What is the purpose of the shell?
CaCO3 rich shell, used for protection, some species have internalized or reduced shells
most mollusks have a rasping tongue-like organ called the __________, used originally for scrapping and crushing, now modified into many different structures (sharp beak, drill, poison dart)
radula
How do mollusks reproduce?
distinct male and female individuals, most engage in external fertilization, in marine mollusks embryos develop through spiral cleavage
free swimming larval stage of mollusks
trochophores
second larval stage of mollusks, only in bivalves and gastropods
veliger
What are the 3 classes of Mollusks that we need to know?
(1) Polyplacophora
(2) Gastropoda
(3) Bivalvia
(4) Cephalopoda
marine mollusk, oval bodies with eight overlapping dorsal calcareous plates, most are grazing herbivores
Chitons (Polyplacophora)
primarily marine, some have invaded land, pairs of tentacles with eyes at the ends, during embryological development the undergo torsion (mantle cavity and anus are moved from the posterior to the front) and coiling (spiral winding of the shell)
Snails and Slugs (Gastropoda)
have two lateral (right and left) shells (valves) hinged together dorsally, most are sessile filter-feeders, water circulation is mediated by siphons and rhythmic beating of cilia on gills
clams, scallops, mussels, oysters (Bivalvia)
active marine predators, have a foot with a series of arms equipped with suction cups, (squids have 10, octopuses have 8, nautiluses have 80-90), have highly developed nervous systems, complex behavior and intelligence
Cephalopoda
