Phylum Porifera

Sponges


asymmetrical adults


Choanocytes

A.K.A. Collar Cells


Flagella maintain a constant flow of water through these cells in order to filter feed

Spicules

Stiff spikes of calcium carbonate that provide structural support for the body of sponges

Asconoid / Syconoid / Leuconoid

Different growth forms of porifera based on complexity of canal systems and amount/surface area of folds in the walls


(increasing in complexity)

Phylum Cnidaria

Jellyfish, Sea anemones, Corals, Hydroids


(mostly marine, some fresh water)

A saclike body plan with a single opening (the mouth) into the gastrovascular cavity


no coelom


Diploblastic


Radial Symmetry


Characteristics of Phylum Cnidaria

Synapomorphy of Cnidarians

Cnidocytes (stinging cells)

Key components of Cnidarian life cycle

Polyp (attached to a substrate-reproduce asexually)


Medusae (free swimmers-reproduce sexually)


[Obelia was observed in lab]

Phylum Platyhelminthes

Free living flatworms and parasitic flatworms

(1) wormlike body plan modified into an elongate


Bilaterall symmertrical / dorsoventally flattened


(2) Triploblastic


(3) Organ-system level of organization


(4) No true coelom

Characteristics of Phylum Platyhelminthes

Flatworms are nearly all hermaphroditic (true or false)

True

The concentration of neural structures near the posterior end is called cephalization (true or false)

False


Cephalization

The concentration of neural structures near the anterior end of the body

Parasitic Flatworms


(Phylum Platyhelminthes)

Absorb nutrients through the body wall


Attach to the small intestine by suckers and hooks


Proglottids


"reproductive factories" that are constantly formed by the scolex and released when they are full of fertile eggs

Flukes are...

parasitic worms that infest the lungs, liver, and blood of vertebrates


(schitstosoma)

Phylum Rotifera

Small Coelomates


Contain a Ciliated Corona


Dioecious (separate sexes)

Feeding Strategies:


Raptorial (capture live prey)


Suspension or Filter feeding


Environment:


Freshwater ponds


Few marine species

Characteristics of Rotifers

Rotifer

Phylum Annelida

Segmented worms with repeating body units called somites


Polychaeta and Clitellata

Two classes of Phylum Annelida


Tube worms and sandworms and earthworms and leeches, respectively

Polychaeta


(class of phylum annelida)

Sandworms


Head with simple eyes and tentacles; segments with lateral extensions (parapodia) and many bristles (setae); sexes usually separate; predacious; marine

Clitellata


(Subclass of Oligochaeta, Phylum annelida)

Earthworms


No head; segments without extensions and with few, small bristles; hermaphroditic; terrestrial or freshwater

Clitellata


(Subclass of Hirudinea, Phylum annelida)

Leeches


No head; segments with superficial rings and without lateral extensions or bristles; anterior and posterior suckers; hermaphroditic; parasitic, feeding on blood; terrestrial or freshwater

Characteristics of Phylum Mollusca

A ventral muscular foot


A dorsal visceral mass


A mantle that surrounds the visceral mass and often secretes a shell


A radula used to scrape off bits of food

Phylum Mollusca


Class: Polyplacophora

Chitons


Shell of 8 overlapping plates; dorsoventrally flattened foot (used for crawling); radula; marine

Phylum Mollusca


Class: Gastropoda

Snails and Slugs


Shell is absent or single; often coiled; dorsoventrally flattened foot (used for crawling); radula; marine, freshwater, and terrestrial

Phylum Mollusca


Class: Bivalvia

Clams, Oysters, and Mussels


Shell of two valves, hinged dorsally; laterally flattened foot (used for digging); no radula; filter feeder; marine or freshwater

Phylum Mollusca


Class: Cephalopoda

Octopi and Squids


Single shell or none; foot modified to form tentacles; image-producing eyes; horny beak and radula; predaceous; water-jet propulsion; marine

In clams (bivalvia) gills are used for _________ and _________, while the muscular foot is used for ___________.

respiration, feeding, movement

Reproductive polyp


(Platyhelminthes)

What phylum is this organism from?
