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)
