Test 2 Flashcards
possible body plans of animals with bilateral symmetry
acoelmates, pseudocoelmates, coelmates
coelmates
(more advanced phyla) have a body cavity surrounded by mesoderm; this body cavity is where the organs are stored; this is different than the digestive body cavity
types of coelmates
protosomes, deuterostomes
protostomes
have well developed nervous, circulatory, excretory, reproductive and digestive systems.
which organisms are protostomes
simpler- Mollusca, Annelida, Arthropoda
which organisms are deuterostomes
more complex- Echinodermata and Chordata
what is unique about the body of organisms in phylum mollusca
soft bodies with hard shells. A layer of cells make up a mantle that secretes the hard substance that makes the shell. some only have an internal remnant of a shell and some have no shell
examples of organisms in phylum mollusca
snails, clams, octopi, squids
body plan phylum mollusca key feautures
- small coelom with a heart
- open circulatory system (blood bathed organs)
- all organs kept in visceral mass - a collection of organ systems
- foot for movement
- a mantle which secretes the shell
- gills to breathe
phyla mollusca classification
4 classes:
- polyplacophora
- gastropoda
- bivalvia
- cephalopoda
class Polyplacophora
AKA chiton
- shell divided into 8 plates
class gastropoda
i.e. snails
class bivalvia
i. e. clams and oysters
- shell divided into 2 parts with a mantle cavity inside the shell where all the organs are contained
- they are sessile but still have a foot inside their shell that they use for small movements
- filter feeders
- many produce pearls
sessile
attached to the ground or a substrate
filter feeding of class bivalvia
water and food enters the mantle cavity through the incurrent siphon and is filtered by the cilia of the gills and pushed towards the mouth, where it enters the gastro cavity. sand and debris exit through the excurrent siphon
incurrent siphon
opening at one end of the bivalvia organism between the 2 parts of the shell that allows for the intake of water and food particles
excurrent siphon
opening at the other end of the bivalvia organism between the 2 parts of the shell through which filtered water exits the clam
class bivalvia circulatory system
heart, open circulatory system
class Cephalopoda basic
i. e. squids, octopi
- shells are reduced to an internal remnant (pen) or are absent
- foot is divided into tentacles
class Cephalopoda anatomy
- 2 tentacles and 8 arms to capture prey
- siphon to eject ink and waste
- ink sac releases ink to escape predators
- chromatophores- pigmented cells that change color
class cephalopoda circulatory system
- have a relatively closed circulatory system with arteries and veins
- have 3 hearts: 2 brachial hearts by gills that pump blood to the gills for oxygenation and a third systemic heart that pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body
class cephalopoda shell
pen= the shell remnant, which runs the length of the squid inside
phylum annelida
earthworms and leeches
- body is divided into repetitive segments
- closed circulatory systems. blood is retained in vessels
- have small legs called setae
setae
bristle-like appendages that come in pairs.
phylum annelida classification
- class polychaeta
- class oligochaeta (earthworms)
- class hirudinea (leeches)
class polychaeta
- i.e. Nereis
- each segment on the Polychaeta has a pair of fleshy appendages called parapodia with many setae on them
class oligochaeta
- i.e. earthworm
- live in moist soil
- DONT have parapodia
- have only a few setae
