cnidocyte
|
mechanical trigger shoots out thread covered with nuerotoxin when touched. it injects the toxin and paralizes the prey
|
|
primative cnidarians
|
alternate b/t medusa and polyp stage. in these, medusa sextually reproduce forming a larval stage that grows into a polyp that can reproduce asextually forming new meduse
|
|
advanced cnidarians
|
show a reduction of one of the stages (medusa/polyp). jelly fish mainly exist in the medusa stage, sea anenomeas only exist in polyp stage
|
|
phylum ctenophora
|
comb jellies; 8 rows of cillia, covered with sticky cells called colloblasts; radially symmetrical; true tissues; diploblastic; incomplete D.T
|
|
phylum platyhelminthes
|
flat worms: simplest animals that're bilaterally symmetrical; cephalization; excratory sys - flame cells; includes planaria, flukes, and tapeworms
|
|
planaria anatomy
|
hermaphrodite; cutaneous respiration; pharynx extended through mouth on ventral surface; branched intestine reaches all parts of the body; cup shaped eyespots for direction/ intensity of light; gaglion
|
|
gaglion
|
cluster of nerve cells
|
|
flatworm exretory sys
|
live in fresh water, so water diffuses in. flame cells get rid of excess water and metabolic wastes
|
|
flukes
|
anterior and ventral suckers help them to attach to host=good parasite. adults hook up and live in human intestines & reproduce sextually; lay eggs which come out in feces and land in water; eggs hatch and live in mollusks; reproduce asextually; 2nd larval stage burrows through skin to liver where they mature into adults; circulate to intestines
|
|
tapeworms
|
no digestive tract b/c they live in intestine which has nutrients; covered w/ tegument so they dont get digested. scolex (asextual stage) has hooks and suckers which allow it to attach to inside of intestines; it has offspring (proglottids)that become mature (have reproductive sys); gravid (full of larvae-containig eggs) proglottids break off and exit body through feces; cow eats larvae and it burrows into muscle; human eats it unercooked
|
|
how is the planarian nervous sys organized?
|
2 ventral nerve cords with branches on either side with brain
|
|
phylum nematoda
|
roundworms: pseudocoelom (acts as hydrostatic skeleton); complete digestive tract; free-living or parasitic; triploblastic, bilateral; most have separate sexes
|
|
cnidarian life cycle
|
adult medusa sextually reproduce; eggs develope into swimming larva; larva settles on ocean floor and developes into polyp; it reproduces asextually growing upward; old buds pop off and form new meduse
|
|
parasitic roundworms
|
ascaris, hookworms, trichinella, pinworms, filarial worms
|
|
ascaris
|
intestinal parasite
|
|
hookworms
|
teeth latch on to small intestinal wall; reproduce sextually asnd release eggs into feces; larva hatches out in water; when someone walks through water it goes in though foot and circulates to throat where you swallow it; goes back to intestine
|
|
trichinella
|
wroms that form sists in muscles - causes pain b/c they interfere with contraction; get this from eating rare pork
|
|
pinworms
|
live at end of intestine just inside anus; females lay eggs; you itch in sleep - on fingers; trasfers to others
|
|
filarial worms
|
infect lymphatic vessels - allows fluid in but now out so they stretch and fill with fluid. elephantitis
|
|
secondary function of excretory system
|
maintain water balance (osmoregulation)
|
