Mollusca Muscle Foot: for locomotion, attachment and secretes mucus
Mollusca visceral mass: contains digestive system(complete), most have open circulatory systems, reproductive organs and nephridia. Bath organs in circulatory sinuses
Mollusca mantle: surrounds visceral mass. is waterfilled, contains respiratory organs (increased surface area for gas exchange)and helps protect them. End of digestive tract, helps secrete waste. If they have a shell, its secreted by mantle.
Mollusca Rodula: located in the mouth - "rasping" structure that tears food off structure it is on. Bivalves don't have these.
Mollusca reproductive organs: dicodous with separate sexes. external fertilization crocophore larvae (ciliated free living) followed by 2nd stage larva - veliger, has beginning of foot, shell & mantle. Mostly organisms that secrete shell.
Mollusca examples chitons, gastropods, bivalves, chephalopods
Chiton: have 8 overlapping plates (not segmented) that are protective in function. They use the foot for locomotion & attachment. and are all marine
Gastropods (snails): torsion (mantle cavity & anus moved from posterior to anterior). Visceral mass with one side growing faster than the other. Nematocysto from ingesting cnidarians. Marine. Largest & most diverse class with distinct head and tentacles w/ eyes
Bivavles: Glochidia larva (distruction during larval stage). mostly freshwater. Attach to fish gills, parasitic and distributed by fish since they unlatch at a certain point in development.
Bivalves pearl formation: when an irritant gets between shell and mantle, its a defense mechanism. endangered (10% N.Amer spec extinct, damming of rivers)
Cephalopods: most advanced invertebrate brain. All marine predators. Foot has distinct head & tenticles modified with suction cups and hooks. Have elaborate eyes. have a closed circulatory system. Produces ink in ink sac to confuse predators.
Cephalopod locomotion uses jet propulsion for locomotion (mantle expands to bring in water through siphon, contracts and shoots water out of the siphon which causes it to dart backwards. one has shell.
cephalopod chromatophores: pigmented cells that contract and expand, vary the amount of pigment in the cells and controls the color of the body
cephalopod reproduction: sperm is stored in spermatophores in mantle cavity.
Phylum Annelida, Class Polychaeta "many hairs". marine. largest class. lives under rocks, sand and builds tubes. Well developed "head" with eyes. no permanent gonads, external fertilization. reproduction timed with lunar cycles.Secretes segments (gametes) epitokes
Parapodia w/ Chaetae in Polychaeta appendages, found on most segments, used as: locomotion, anchor and gas exchange. Chiton has brussels on tips which aid in the above functions.
some polychaeta: some have trocophore larval stage, some can undergo budding, some can undergo budding, some can undergo regeneration
Phylum Annelida, Class Oligochaeta "few hairs".
Peristaltic locomotion in oligochaeta has long and circular muscles. cicular contracts and pushes anteriorly. Long contracts and causes worm to shorten - moves because of anchoring chaeta.
Phylum Annelida, Class Oligochaeta: earthworms. all have chaeta for anchoring and digging. no parapodia. mostly terrestrial with peristaltic locomotion. Hermaphroditic with clittelum that secretes mucus, uses cross fertilization and puts eggs in mucus cocoon.
Phylum Annelida, Class Oligochaeta: leeches no chaetae (except one species). with no septa (segments). Injects anesthetic and anticoagulent. Parasitic hermaphrodites that only have clittelum during breeding season
Ecdysis: molting of outer cuticle
Phylum Nematoda ubiquitous - live everywhere there is life. Parsites, some free living. Mott cuticle (non cellular outer layer that is secreted by extracellular matrix. Only molts 4x(larval stages).
Nematoda example: intestinal roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides
Nematoda biological control of insects - inhibits immune system, releases mutualistic bacteria. Bacteria kills & breaks down insect. Reproduction and digestion inside insect host.
Phylum Arthropoda 2/3 of all species, most successful, 71 million species. Has economic importance both - and +. Have segmented bodies, distinct heads, jointed apendages, chitin exoskeleton (made of proteins, hard but flexible, offers good muscle attachment and protection)
contributions to the success of phylum arthropoda legs for locomotion and antennae for sensory
downside to chitin exoskeleton? heavy, so limits size
How to arthropods grow? ecdysis - molting. the new exoskeleton is very soft and vulnerable until it hardens. Molt is energetically expensive so must save up energy and be in a safe environment
Arthropods have what type of circulatory system? open. blood like fluid - heart pumps fuid throughout body. has a dorsal vessel.
True or false. Sponges have true tissues and germ layers false.
Acoelomates platyhelminthes (flat worm) have no body cavity
Pseudocoelomates body cavity located between mesoderm & ectoderm. no muscle lining gut and tend to have suspended reproductive organs. ex. nematoda and rotifera.
Coelomatess coelom w/ mesoderm. True body cavity. Organs anchored in place with more complex and bigger organs. Protection. Have muscle lining gut to aid in digestion and movement of food. coelom tends to be fluid filled.
Protostome: most animal phyla. Spiral cleavage 90*. Determinate development. Blastopore becomes the mouth
deuterostome: radial cleavage, indeterminate development where blastopore becomes anus. *must have complete digestive tract. Evolved from common ancestor >500mya. ex. echinodermata and chordata
indeterminate development cells developing during zygote stage are identical and can become any cell in adult - stem cells.
Traditional vs molecular phylogeny agreements: 1. All animals have a common ancestor(clade metazoa) 2. sponges are basal animals 3. Eumetazoa clade of animals with tissues 4. most animals belong to bilateria 5. chordates, echinoderms and some animals belong to clade deuterostomia
Traditional vs molecular phylogeny differences: Cophotrochozoa & ecdysozoa are breaking up "protostomia" based on larval stages. Resolving classifications of bilateia with 3 major clades.
bilateria's 3 major clades 1. deuterostomia 2. ecdoysozoa (nematodes and arthropods) 3. lophotrochozoans - collar of cillia around mouth. can be in adult or larval stages
trochophore larvae have double band of cillia around middle.
true or false. invertebrates make up 90% of all known species true
clade parazoa sponges. oldest animals that are asymmetric and lack tissues and organs
