which phylum includes flatworms?
platyhelminthes
which phylum includes ribbonworms?
nemertea
which phylum includes roundworms?
nematoda
platyhelminthes are _________ symmetrical
bilaterally
true or false: platyhelminthes have eye spots
true
how many germ layers do platyhelminthes have?
three, triploblastic
platyhelminthes: acoelomate, coelomate, pseudocoelomate?
acoelomate
true or false: platyhelminthes have an anus
false, incomplete gut (mouth, no anus)
platyhelminthes: slow or fast food processing
slow due to incomplete gut, can only do one thing at a time
why are platyhelminthes small?
they have no respiratory or circulatory organs
protonephridia
excretory organ (like a kidney) that regulates water balance

platyhelminthes are the first ones to have anything like this
cnidarians have nerve nets, what do platyhelminthes have instead?
a little itty-bitty brain and nerve cords
the cilia and mesoderm in platyhelminthes allow for
greater freedom of movement (mesoderm --> muscles)
cephalization
evolution of definite head and brain area
cephalization requires ______ symmetry
bilateral
parendyma
type of mesoderm, more loosely packed cells
platyhelminthes: flattened _____________ dorsoventrally or laterally
dorsoventrally
why are flatworms flat?
increase SA/V ratio, which helps in diffusive transport of gases and wastes
what are the three classes of platyhelminthes?
class turbellaria: only free-living (non-parasite) group
class cestoidea: parasitic tapeworms
class trematoda: parasitic flukes
how does class turbellaria feed?
carnivores and scavengers
they have a pharnyx coming out of their body with a mouth at the end to vacuum up food to eat
how does class turbellaria reproduce?
regeneration

cross-fertilizing hermaphrodites (maintain male & female parts until sex)
hypodermic impregnation
parmales actively place spermatophores on the body surface of females, in turbellaria's case, both are hermaphrodites
parasitic tapeworms: phylum and class?
phylum platyhelminthes
class cestoda
tegument
natural covering of a body
true or false: class cestoda tapeworms have a ciliated tegument
false, it is nonciliated
proglottid
One of the segments of a tapeworm, containing both male and female reproductive organs
strobilation
Asexual reproduction by division into body segments
Transverse fission
how does class trematoda's complex lifestyle increase regeneration?
primary host can eat the infected 2nd host
what are the three lophophorate phyla?
phylum ectoprocta (=bryozoa)
phylum brachiopoda
phylum phoronida
how many species does phylum ectoprocta contain?
4500 species
how many species does phylum brachiopoda have?
about 335 species
how many species does phylum phoronida have?
20 species
When were there about 30,000 species of phylum brachiopoda?
400 mya in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic
Moss animals are in phylum...
ectoprocta
lampshells are in phylum...
brachiopoda
horseshoe worms are in phylum
phoronida
True or false: phylum brachiopoda has 2 shells dorsoventrally flattened
true
