Annelida
General
- 12,400 described species.
- Marine, FW and terrestrial
- Freeliving, commensal and parasitic
Annelida
Body Wall
Anterior prostomium, then peristomium and a posterior pygidium
- Thin flexible, permeable outter layer
- Circular and Longitudinal muscles
- peritoneum (lines coelom)
Annelida
Body Cavity
- Metameric
- Segments seperated by septa
- Compartmentalized coelom
- Isolated coelomic fluid in each segment
- Idependent movement of segments
Annelida Metamerism
- External rings or "annuli"
- Repeated structures/ serial homology
- Internal septa (connective tissue inbetween each peritoneum)
- Digestive tract is NOT metameric
Annelida
Nervous system
- Anterior cluster of ganglia
- Pair Longitudinal cords with giant nerve fibers
- Cerebral ganglion (brain)
- Suboesophageal ganglion (under esophagus)
Annelida
Circulatory System
- Closed circulatory system
- Major dorsal and ventral vessel for anterior and posterior transport.
- Capillaries connect vessels
- No "heart"
- Vessels with contractile properites and one way valves, to act as heart
- Fluid transports oxygen via hemoglobin, hemoerythrin, and chlorocruorin (green)
Annelida
Excretory System
- Metanephridia (open tubes that drawns fluid to outside)
- Funnel opening in one segment and pore to outside in next segment
- Tubes involved in osmoregulation
Annelida
Locomotion
- Selective contraction of regions (Peristallic waves)
- Coelomic fluid creates hydrostatic skeleton
- Squeeze and push animal forward
- Chaetae act as brace for motion
Class Clitellata
Subclass Oligochaeta
Characteristics
- Earthworm
- 3500 described ssp
- FW, Marien and Terrestrial
- Scavengers and deposit feeders
Oligochaeta
Body form
- cylindrical body
- few lateral projections
- no parapodia
- setae present
- no head
- no tentacles
- few photoreceptors
- aquatic species have long setae
Oligochaeta
Clitellum
- Series of segments in anterior portion, swollen with glandular tissue
- Secrete mucous and cocoon to hold eggs
- Role in copulation
Oligochaeta
Internal
- Divided by septa
- well developed circular muscles
Oligochaeta
Locomotion
Earthworm
- wave of contraction of circular muscles.
- Chaetae anchor body
Oligochaeta
Gas exchange
- No specilized structures
- Diffusion across moist cuticle
- Hemoglobin in circulatory flid
Oligochaeta
Reproduction
- Gonads are discrete tissue
- Only in few segments
- Hermaphroditic, dont self breed.
- Copulation w/o intromission
- Male opening seg 14, spermatheca (storage) in seg 10-11
- Simultaneous transmission
- Some asexual
* Different form Polychaetes
Oligochaeta
After Fertilization
- Cocoon secreted by clitellum
- Eggs deposited from female gonopore
- Then sperm from spermatheca
- Kind of external fertilization
- Cocoon deposited in soil
- Direct development (No larval stage)
Class Polychaeta
- Marine segmented worms
- 70% annelids
2 groups = Errant and Sedentary
Class Polychaeta
Apomorphy
Parapodia = lateral extensions of the body wall modified for different functions in different parts of the body.
Errant Polychaetes
- Mobile
- Well-developed parapodia and sensory structures
- Homonomous
Sedentary Polychaetes
- Tube or burrow dwelling
- Reduced parapodia
- Heteronomous
- Gills, feeding tentacles
- Use sand grains and mucous to construct burrows
Polychaetes
Obtaining food
- Raptorial feeders (hunters) w/ eversible pharynx sclerotized jaw and toxic saliva
- herbivores, omnivores or scavangers
- Non-selective deposit feeders (process sand on beach)
- Selecive deposit feeders
- Filter feeders
Polychaeta
Reproduction
- Gonochoristic/dioecious
- No discrete gonads, gametes produced by peritoneal tissues
- 6 segments
- External fertilization
- Trochophore Larva
Family Siboglinidae
Characteristics
- 150 species
- benthic marine
- sedentary tube dwellers
- No digestive system
- Closed circulatory system
- Two groups: Perivates and vestimentiferans
Siboglinidae
Apomorphy
-Trophosome: filled with chemosynthetic bacteria
- Segmentation in posterior portion ONLY
Siboglinidae
Group Perviates
Absorb nutrients across body wall, resemble threads
Siboglinidae
Group Vestimentiferans
- Regions of hydrothermal vents
- Dense species rich communities
Siboglinidae
Bacteria
- Bodies too big and dense for diffusion so...
- Trophosomal bacteria, oxidize hydrogen sulfied or methane
- Generate ATP and synthesize carbohydrates.
- Worms deliver compounds to bacteria, worms use organics produced by bacteria.
Siboglinidae
Reproduction
