common characteristic between nematodes and artropods?
cuticle that molts (ecdysis)
ecdysozoa evolved independently?
only evolved once
nematode means
thread
what are the most abundant animals alive today
roundworms (nematode)
are nematodes segmented?
no
true or false: nematodes have a complete digestive tract
true
nematodes: coelomate, acoelomate, pseudocoelomate?
mostly pseudocoelomate, few acoelomate
how many times do nematodes molt
4
nematodes have longitudinal muscle only, therefore __________________ waves
sinusoidal, alternating contractions of muscles on dorsal and ventral surfaces
nematode locomotion is constrained by
rigid cuticle
turgid (firm) body wall due to hydrostatic skeleton
no locomotory cilia
no circular muscles
no appendages
how do nematodes grow?
eutely, grow by increasing cell size, not cell number
how are nematodes helpful in medicine (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine)
genetic regulation of organ devt. and programmed cell death

nematode starts with 1090 cells, 131 later eliminated, ends up with 959 cells

genetic basis for cell death may be key to control of certain diseasaes like AIDS or stroke (involve excessive cell death)
arthropoda means
jointed foot
arthropods= percentage of all animal species
75%
successful arthropod characteristics
chitinous exoskeleton
jointed appendages
striated muscle
segmentation and tagmatization (specialized groups of segments: head/thorax/abdomen)
arthropod circulatory system: open/closed?
open
do arthropods have eyes?
yes, compound image-forming eyes
true or false: arthropods have motile cilia
false, they lost it
true or false: arthropods have no respiratory or excretory systems
false, they have novel systems
how are molluscs and arthropods similar?
hard outer covering
are molluscs and arthropods homologous?
no
shell does not = exoskeleton
how are annelids and arthropods similar?
legs
are annelids and arthropods homologous?
no, parapodia does not = jointed appendages
how are chordates and arthropods simlar?
hard skeletons; functionally similar
are chordates and arthropods homologous?
chtin exoskeleton does not = CaCo3 endoskeleton
how are nematodes and arthropods simlar?
molting
are nematodes and arthropods homologous?
yes
homologous
derived from common ancestor
molting steps
epidermis secretes new soft cuticle under old hard cuticle

sheds old hard cuticle
which is faster and more responsive: smooth muscle or striated muscle
striated muscle: found in arthropods and vertebrates
in arthropods, muscles attach to
inner surface of outer skeleton
in vertebrates, muscles attach to
outer surface of inner skeleton
crustaceans are biramous/uniramous
biramous
insects are biramous/uniramous
uniramous
arthropod wings are
saclike outgrowth of body wall
sheets of chitin and protein
how many pairs of wings do arthropods usually have
2
wing up
muscle contractions/relaxations
tergum down
vertical muscles contract
longitudinal muscles relax
wings down
muscle contractions/relaxations
turgum up
longitudinal muscles contract
vertical muscles relax
