Porifera
sponges- eukaryotic, multicellular, and ingestive-feeding heterotrophs( derive their energy from organic molecules made by other organisms)
Sponges
lack tissues and organs, typically asymmetrical
Grantia
sessile(attached to substrate) sponges are filter-feeding
epithelial layer
flat cells that line walls of sponges- filter seawater and remove food particles
Spongocoel
central cavity lined by flagellated cells called chanocytes(collar cells)
Porocytes
flagella draw water through pores within
What produce a constant flow of water into a sponge?
Choanocytes
Osculum
where the filtered water exits at the end of the sponge
Which is more complex? Spongia or Grantia?
Spongia has a more complex arrangement of chambers than does Grantia
Sponge Reproduction
reproduce asexually and sexually
Asexual Reproduction
includes budding and release of stress resistant aggregates of amoebocytes called gemmules
Sexual Reproduction
eggs remain in the mesenchyme, but sperm are released into the water and captured by choancytes or amoebocytes of other sponges

sea fans
sea pens
Anthozoa
plant animal
dominant sessile polyp typical
pharynx and septa
most well known
Importance: Scyphozoans
important part of the food web
and clog fishing nets
Importance: Anthozoa
important part of the food web makes the greatest contribution in terms of biodiversity, forming breeding areas for fish
Platyhelminthes and Nematoda characteristics
Habitat- marine, fw, terrestrial, and parastic enviroments

bilateral symmetry
acoelmate
no body cavity
coelomate
cavity surrounded by mesoderm true cavity

dorsoventrally compresed and have primitive sense organs
gvs with one opening that is both mouth and anus
Playthelmithes classes
Turbellaria
Trematoda
Cestoda
Class turbellaria
free living flatworms inhabit fw, sw, and moist terrstrial enviroments
scavenge and prey on small animals such as daphnia and midges
hermaphrodites
Phylum Playthelminthes criteria
habitat
Turbellaria reps
Dugesia
Planaria
Dugesia(planaria)
common fw tubellarian
head has lateral lobes and sensory organs called eyespots
Trematoda reps
Fasciola
Schistosoma
Class Trematoda
flukes- infect vertebrates and include both endoparasites (parasites inside their host)
ecctoparasites
(parasites on the surface of their host)
lack an epidermis and are covered by an acellular but metabolically active epticule
Trematoda
epticule
made of protein and lipids secreted by mesodermal cells and resists digestive enzymes
helps in respiration and absorbing nutrients
opisthorchis ( raw or poorly cooked fish)
Chinese liver fluke, often parasitizes humans in Japan
attaches to bile duct and releases eggs that move through digestive system and exit with the feces
fasciola
sheep liver fluke sucks food through muscular pharynx
schistosoma
blood fluke inhabits intestinal veins causes disease schistosomiasis
intermediate host
organism harboring immature stages of a parasite
definitive host
contains sexually mature, egg laying stages of the life cycle
dioecious
separate sex organs
(Schistosoma male has ventral groove female cradles in copulation)
Cestoda reps
dibothriocephalus latus
tapeworms
taenia solium
Class Cestoda
tapeworms most specialized
endoparasite-of the gut of vertebrates
lack a mouth or digestive tract
scolex
anterior end of tapeworm
adheres to host's intestinal wall with hooks or suckers
proglottids
series of segments behind the scolex and neck
gravid
(egg carrying) proglottids
cuticle
cover nematods resists digestive enzymes and is permeable only to water, dissolved gas and some ions
Roundworm advantages
