QuestionAnswer
Mantle A heath of tissue surrounding the organs of a mollusk, producing the mollusk’s hell and performing respiration
Radula An organ covered with hundreds of small teeth, used for scraping food into the mouths of mollusks.
Chitin A derivative of carbohydrates that provides both flexibility and support
Open circulatory system A circulatory system in which blood flows out of the blood vessels and into body cavities, where it comes in direct contact with cells.
Closed circulatory system A circulatory system in which the blood always remains in vessels
Molting The process of shedding an exoskeleton and replacing it with a new one
Cephalothorax The anterior part of an arthropod body, consisting of a head and other body segments fused together
Carapace An armored shield that covers the anterior portion of crustaceans
Water vascular system A network of water-filled canals in echinoderms, used for locomotion and feeding
Ambulacral groove A channel along the oral surface of echinoderms through which the tube feet protrude.
Notochord A flexible supportive rod that runs the length of the body of the chordates
Dorsal nerve cord A long bundle of nerve cells located along the dorsal part of an organism’s body
4 major phyla for invertebrates in the ocean Mollusca, arthropoda, Echinodermata, Chordata
Mollusca Called mollusks, bilaterally symmetric, soft body protected by hard shell, soft body covered by mantle underneath the shell
Mollusks use what to get around? a large, muscular foot
What else do mollusks use their foot for? anchoring and obtaining food
Gastropoda Snails
Operculum the horny plats that forms a lid over the opening of the shells when the head and foot are pulled inside
Nudibranches A group of organisms in class Gastropoda that have no shells, their name means "naked gills"
Bivalvia The class of organisms that have two hinged shells
Siphons The structures in a bivalvia that extend between the shells to take in water and food.
Byssal threads The strong filaments that some bivalves use to attach themselves to a rock to stay in one place
Cephalopoda The most complex of the mollusks, meaning "head footed"
Chromatophores The cells/pigments in a cephalopod that allow it to change colors quickly
Mantle Cavity The cavity in a chephalopod where water can be taken in so it can be moved over the gills and then expelled
Where chitons found? Class Polyplacophora-8 armored plats protecting their flattened oval shape
Tusk Shells are found in class? Scaphopoda- found buried in sedimetns of deep water
Hermaphroditic Both male and female
Larval forms of mollusks Trochophore, veliger
Phylum Arthropoda Biggest phylum, arthropods
Exoskeleton A skeleton that is on the exterior of the body
Class Crustacea "Insects" of the sea (shrimp, crabs, lobsters)
What are the tiny organisms that are abundant in the ocean are part of class crustacea Copepods
Barnacles Commonly mistaken for mollusks, crustaceans
Class Crustacea, laterally compressed bodies, can be parasitic, can live among plankton or seaweed Amphipods
Class Crustacea, ventrally flattened bodies, can be parastic, can live among plankton or seaweed Isopods
Krill Planktonic, filter feeders
Order Decapoda 10 legs, five pairs for walking, first pair larger, has claws
Abdomen The other part of a organism that belongs to order Decapoda NOT THE TAIL!
Shrimp and Lobsters Longs abdomen
Hermit crabs Not really crabs, fi elongated soft abdmoen into abandoned gastropod shells
crab Samll abdomen, more species of crabs than any other Decopod
Why can crabs stay out of water for a long time? Because their exoskeleton can keep moisture in the gills
Maxillipeds The little appendages near a crustacean's mouth for gathering food
Compound eyes Eyes made up of thousands of light-sensitive receptors
Nauplius Planktonic larvae of crustraceans
Class Pycnogonida More commonly called the sea spiders
Merostoma Horseshoe crabs
Pentamerous A type of radial symmetry based on five parts
Endoskeleton A skeleton that is on the inside of an organism's body
Tube feet Tiny extensions of a echinoderms that, when filled with water, extend for locomotion, sensory respiratory and excretory duties
Madreporite The structue which the water vascular system of a echindoerm connects to.
Phylum Echindoermata Sea stars, brittle stars, sand dollars, etc.
Class Asterodiea Sea stars
Class Ophiuroidea Brittle stars
Class Echinoidea Sea urchins, sea biscuts, sand dollars
Aristotle's lantern The mouth structure of organisms of class Echinoidea made of a powerful system of muscles and five teeth that
Class Holothuroidea Sea cucumbers
Eviscerate The act of releasing an organism's insides to distracte a predators (sea cucumbers do this)
Crinodiea Feather stars, sea lilies
Coelomic fluid What a most echinoderms have instead of a circulatory system. It is used to transsport nutrients and gases
Phylum Chordata The phylum of organisms that have a backbone, called chordates
Pharyngeal pouches folds of skin located along the neck during the embryonic debelopment of chordates.
Subphylum Urochordata Tunicates
What do adult tunicates cover themselves with? A leather-like "tunic"
Sea squirts, Ascidians In phyluym Urochordata, often mistaken for sponges
Tadpoloe larva The larva of a sea squirt
Salps Planktonic tunicates
subphylum Cephalochordata Commonly calle dlancelets, retain notochords and dorsal nerve cord throughout their entire lives
Oral cirri The structue which water is filtered through in a lancelet, to get rid of any debris or non-edible things
