organs that regulate the osmotic balance in flatworms

26
Q

Describe the life cycle of schistosoma

A

releases ciliated larva through the urine or feces, reproduces asexually in its snails, leaves as a motile larva, and burrows into the skin of a human and travels to the blood vessels of the large intestine, small intestine, or bladder

27
Q

Describe swimmer’s itch

A

caused by a fish-eating-bird fluke that burrows into humans, but is repelled

28
Q

What is special about the reproduction of rotifers?

A

by parthenogenesis, some species don’t even have any males

29
Q

What are the three parts of the mollusca body plan?

A

Have foot, visceral mass, and mantle

30
Q

Describe the reproduction of mussels native to MO

A

Fertilization occurs within female
Trochophore larvae matures to veliger, a specialized kind of which (a glochidium) are released on to fish gills or fins (after luring with fake fish)
Develop there for days to weeks, then metamorphose into juveniles and fall to stream bottom

31
Q

Give some causes for the endangerment of the MO mussles

A
Button industry
Habitat loss and fragmentation
Dams and channelization
Pollution and sedimentation
Non-native species -> zebra mussel, Asiatic clam
Loss of symbiotic fish species
32
Q

What kind of circulatory system and muscle type do annelids have?

A

Complete and both circular and longitudinal

33
Q

Give some examples of the use of leeches in medicine

A

Remove pooled blood
Help with reattached appendages
Help with reconstructive surgery

34
Q

What kind of circulatory system and muscle type do nematodes have?

A

lack circulatory systems, only longitudinal

35
Q

Describe trichinella spiralis, hookworm, pinworms, horsetail worms, and heartworms

A

Trichinella spiralis can be caught through undercooked pork
Hookworm larvae leave dirt and enter feet
Pinworms are transferred through contact, cause itching around anus
Horsetail worms cause the insects they infect to head to sources of water
Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes and treated by arsenic

36
Q

What kind of circulatory system do arthropods have?

A

open

37
Q

Define chelicerae

A

clawlike feeding appendages of the chelicerata clade (spiders and horseshoe crabs)

38
Q

What is the difference between millipedes and centipedes?

A

Millipedes- eat decaying leaves and plant matter, two pairs of legs per truck segment
Centipedes- carnivores, one pair of legs per truck segment, poison claws

39
Q

Give some examples about why insects are so numerous and successful

A

Flight allows them to escape predators, find food, and disperse to new habitats
Evolved many types of appendages
Coevolved with flowering plants

40
Q

What is the covering of echinioderms made out of? What about arthropods?

A

CaCO3, chitin

41
Q

Define water-vascular system

A

network of hydraulic canals branching into tube feet that function in locomotion and feeding in echinoderms

42
Q

What clade only resembles chordates during their larval stage?

A

Urochordata, tunicates

43
Q

What are the four derived traits of chordates?

A

Notochord-
Longitudinal, flexible rod that provides skeletal support
Dorsal, hollow nerve cord-
Develops into the central nervous system
Pharyngeal slits or clefts-
Clefts develop into slits that function in suspension-feeding, gas exchange, or parts of the ear/head/neck
Muscular, post-anal tail

44
Q

Describe the osteichyan clade

A

Clade of gnathostomes with a body endoskeleton, include bony fish and tetrapods

Q

Describe the cyclostome and gnathostome clade

A

Hagfishes and lampreys are living jawless vertebrates, cyclostomes
Vertebrates with jaws are the gnathostomes

Q

Describe the life cycle and methods to defend against lampreys
