Topic 6: Animals Protostomes Flashcards
What are the 3 Lophophorate Protostome Phyla?
- Ectoprocta
- Brachiopoda
- Phoronida
Coelomic Cavity
Extend into lophophore for…
- food capture
- gas exchange
- waste elimination
Phylum Acoela
- Protostomes
- flatworms
- free living or parasitic
- have acoelomate
- are triplobastic
Acoela Anatomy
- incomplete branching gut
- muscular pharynx can extend to soak up food or expel waste
- nerve cords
- anterior ganglion serves as brain
- hermaphrodites
- water diffusion in wards across body surface
- flame cell system regulates the composition of internal fluids
Class Turbellaria
- Phylum Acoela
- free living flatworms
- muscular pharynx connects mouth to digestive cavity
- hermaphroditic reproductive system
Class Monogenea and Trematoda
- Phylum Acoela
- parasitic flukes with suckers or hooks
- tough outer covering
- obtain nutrients from hosts
- can be ectoparasites (attach to gills or skin of aquatic vertebrates)
- can be endoparasites (internal parasites of vertebrates)
Monogenes
Ectoparsites that are flatworms the attach to gills or skin of aquatic vertebrates
Trematodes
Endoparasites that are flatworms that internally attach to vertebrates
Class Cestoda
- Phylum Acoela
- tape worms within intestines of vertebrates
- body consisted of series of identical units, each with own reproductive organs
- absorb nutrients through body wall
- scolex hooks attach to wall of intestine
Proglottids
Segments of tapeworms that contain both male and female organs
Phylum Nemertea
- Protostomes
- ribbon worms
- elongated, colourful ribbon shapes
- complete digestive system
- have pseudocoelom
- bilateral symmetry
Phylum Mollusca
- Protostomes
- 3 regions of body
- have coelom
- bilaterally symmetrical
- most open circularity system (except cephalopods)
What are the 3 regions of the mollusk body plan?
- Visceral mass
- Head-foot
- Mantle and shell
Visceral mass
Contains the digestive excretory, and reproductive system and heart of the mollusk
Head-foot
Provides locomotion and consists of brain, sensory organs and toothy radula in mollusks
Mantle / Shell
Encloses the visceral mass of the mollusk and houses delicate gill
Mollusk Reproduction
- separate sexes but some are hermaphroditic
- internal or external fertilization
- zygotes develop into free - swimming, ciliated trochophore larvae
- some trochophore develop into a second larval stage (veliger)
Class Polyplacophora
- Phylum Mollusca
- chitons
- algae grazing
- dorsal shell divide in 8 plates
- bilaterally symmetrical
Class Bivalvia
- Phylum Mollusca
- clams, scallops, oysters, and mussels
- consist of hinged pair of shells with opening controlled by adductor muscles
- part of the mantle forms a pair of water-transporting siphons
Class Gastropoda
- Phylum Mollusca
- snails and slugs
- mostly consist of coiled or cone shaped shell
- feed on algae, calculators plants, and animal prey
Gastropod Body Plan
- use gills for oxygen
- terrestrial species have modified mantle cavity to function as lung
- undergo torsion which realigns the vertical mass independent of shell
Class Cephalopoda
- Phylum Mollusca
- squids, octopi, cuttlefish, and nautilus
Cephalopoda Body Plan
- fused head foot
- larger brain than other mollusks
- use hemolymph to obtain oxygen
- closed circulatory system
Phylum Annelida
- Protostomes
- segmented worms
- bristle worms, oligochaete worms, and leeches
