inverebrates
animals that lack a vertebal column
Sponge (porifera)
-water enters through the ostia into the spongocoel and exist vis the osculum
-fertilization occurs in mesohyl
-adult sessile
-larvae free swimming
consider: sponge (Poriferia)
Poriferia and Cnidaria have similar body plans that include:
-gastrovascular cavity
-mesohyl
-mesoglea
-osculum:mouth/anus
-epithelial cells: epidermis
choanocytes
specialized flagellated cells in sponges whose beating drives water throught the body and whose collar extracts food from the water
(characteristics seen previously in choanoflagellates)
consider: choanocytes
sponges have free swimming larvea;
-sessile adults
-lack of specialized tissues and organs
-a lack of symmetry (may be radialin small pieces )
open circulatory system vs a closed circulatory system
the open circulatory system has a combination of boold vessels and large thin-walled sinuses
-closed circulatory system has only vessels
hermaphrodite
individual animal that can produce both sperm and eggs
parthenogenesis
reproduction by way of diploid females laying diploid eggs that hatch into diploid females.
Cnidaria include
include: are raidla symmetry and diploblastic
-jellyfish
-hydra
-sea anemone
-coral
Cnidaria life cycles
life cycles can include only polyps; polps and medusae; medusae and reduce polyp stage
Phylum Platyhelminthes
-are acoelomates
-are tripoblastic
-have an incomplete digestive system
-respire by diffusion of gases through the body wall
consider Phylum Platyhelminthes
some of these are parasites
flukes
are parasitic worms with larval stage living in snails
tapeworms
most live in vertebrates intestines
rotifers
- are bilaterally symmetrical
-have a corona as food gathering organ
-have a complete gut with mouth and anus
-undergo parthenogenesis
-most occur in fresh water
Mollusca phylum includes
-snails (land dwelling)
-clams
-oysters
-octopuses
Mollusca structure
-the mantle are the folds of tissue that arise from the dorsal body wall and enclose a cavity surrounding the visceral mass (modified mantle allows squids and octpuses to move)
-the lophophore functions as:
-a surface for gas
exchange
-location of the radula
-a rasping
-food collecting organ
-a means to attach to the
substrate
-location for the tentacles
and the anus
consider Mollusca
an animal that is attached to the substrate and cannot move is said to sessile
nephridia
structure that removes nitrogenous waste in mollusks
open circulatory system
the circulatory system of most molluskc is an open one.
that is the heart pumps vascular fluid (hemolymp) to the tissues through vessels, but there are no vessels in which the hemolymp returns to the heart
-instead the blood returns by moving through the space between the cells
consider circulatory system
the open circulatory system has a combination of blood vessels and large thin-walled sinuses whereas a closed cilculatory system has only vessels.
annelid body contains
contains:
-separate segments with septa partitions
-muscles to swim, crawl, and burrow
-ganglia to respond to light and respond to other environmental cues
-circulatory system
-excretory system
-nuetral elements in each segment
-setae (chitin bristles) in each segment
hirudinea
only class of annelids that contains parasitic blood suckers (leeches)
cephalopods (some)
-some are intelligent
-some have shells
-some are very large
cephalopods (all)
-all are predatory
-all have closed circulatory system.
ecdysozoa
-undergo ecdysis or molting
-possess cuticle for support and protection
-may undergo metamophosis during development
where can segmentation be found?
in Arthropoda, Annelida, Chordata
what is segmentation?
while the nerve cord, setae, circular muscles, and metanephridia all occur in a series of successive segments in the earthworm
-it only has one crop
what are Anthropods?
-they are coelomates
-undergo metamorphosis as they develop through stages from egg to adult
-ecdysis is the process of molting
-possess an exoskeleton
-ton
-trachea for oxygen diffusion into tissues
Consider Anthropods
-insects are the most successful class with the greatest number of species
what is ecdysis
ecdysis is the process of molting
what does an exoskeleton provide?
ton of protection against predators, imepeds water loss, acts as muscle attachment points
Consider Anthropods
jointed apppendages if the evolutionary innovation that first appeared in arthropods
compound eyes
composed of independent visual units called ommatidia
complete metamorphosis
change of a larval form of insect to a different adult form
crustaceans
have two pairs of antennae with antennal glands and maxillary glands
-deposit calcium carbonate on the exoskeleton and have internal fertilization
Pharyngeal slits
mostly disappear during human development, except one pair that forms Eustachian tubes in adults
coccyx
remnant of tail in humans
chordate
-animal with notochord
-dorsal hollow nerve cord
-pharyngeal slits
-post anal tail
(these traits occur at some point during development

A) The females are the only ones who actually bite in response to odors in the air.
