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 |
