Excretory System

The breakdown of protein into nitrogen-containing wastes

Excretory System of a HYDRA

Occurs through diffusion through the epidermis

Excretory System of a PLANARIAN

Tubular system. Flame cells filter ammonia. The ammonia filters through the tubes and exit through the skin.

Excretory System of a VINEGAR EEL

Occurs through diffusion through the epidermis

Excretory System of an EARTHWORM

1. Wastes from blood turn ammonia into urea.


2. Nephrostome pushes waste into the nephridia.


3. Wastes go out through the Nephridiopore.

Respiratory System

All tissues need oxygen and produce carbon dioxide.

Diffusion

Gases move from high to low. Membranes must be thin, moist and have a large surface area.

Respiratory System of a HYDRA

Occurs by diffusion through the epidermis.

Respiratory System of a PLANARIAN

Diffusion through epidermis.

Respiratory System of a VINEGAR EEL

Uses diffusion

Respiratory System of an EARTHWORM

Diffusion through wet skin

Open Circulatory System

Blood only partially contained in tubes. Not very efficient.

Closed Circulatory System

Blood circulates in blood vessels.

Single-loop circulation

One Heart (atria, ventricle)

Double-loop circulation

2 loops - one to lungs, on to body

Circulatory System of a HYDRA

No circulatory system because cells are in contact with water which contains oxygen and nutrients. Diffusion circulates the oxygen, nutrients, and waste products in and out of the hydra.

Circulatory System of a PLANARIAN

None. Circulates nutrients through diffusion.

Circulatory System of a VINEGAR EEL

No circulatory system. Uses diffusion

Circulatory System of an EARTHWORM

Closed circulatory system. Circulates blood through vessels. Aortic arches pump blood into dorsal/ventral blood vessels. Counterclockwise circulation.

Digestive System

Breaks down food into nutrient that can be digested.

Intracellular digestion

"In the cell" individual cells digest food and pass it on to other cells.

Extracellular digestion

Food broken down outside of cells using gastrovascular cavities and the digestive tract.

Digestive System of a HYDRA

1. Mouth is the opening to the gastrovascular cavity, which is lined with flagella.


2. Flagella mixes food and is absorbed into the lining.


3. Digestion occurs in the food vacuoles of the lining cells and the nutrients are diffused throughout the body


4. Undigested food comes back out through the mouth.

Digestive System of a PLANARIAN

Two way digestive tract.


1. Pharynx connects mouth to gastrovascular cavity.


2. Food is digested by lining cells, which diffuses nutrients to the rest of the body

Digestive System of a VINEGAR EEL

One way digestive tract.


1. Food gets broken down and nutrients are absorbed.


2. Goes into intestine, waste is removed through the anus.

Digestive System of an EARTHWORM

1. Pharynx secretes mucus that makes food move to the esophagus.


2. Crop stores food.


3. Gizzard grinds food and food is absorbed into blood.


4. Undigested waste is removed through the anus.

Cnidocytes

Cells that cause tentacles to sting

Nematocyst

Barbs in Cnidocytes

Mesoglea

Jelly layer between two cell layers

Auricle

Structure that resembles an ear on a Planarian. Used to sense touch and chemicals.

Ocelli

Eyespots that help the Planarian see light

Male Genital pores

Segments 15 and 26

Female genital pores

Segment 14

Seminal receptacles

Segments 9-11
