QuestionAnswer
Phylum Porifera sponges
Phylum Cnidaria Jellies, hydra, corals, anemones, etc.
Phylum Platyhelminthes Flatworms
Phylum Nematoda Roundworms
Phylum Annelida Segmented worms
Phylum Mollusca Cephalopods, clams, sea slugs, etc.
What are the three types of sponge body systems? Asconoids, syconoid, leuconoid
How does sponges sexual reproduction work? Produce free moving larvae which move to find new spot for permanent habituation
How does sponges asexual reproduction work? through budding or by gemmules
Characteristics of Calcarea sponges spicules made from calcium carbonate, typically small
Characteristics of hexactinellida sponges called glass sponges, produce a glass-like lattice behind after death
Characteristics of Demospongiae sponges About 95% of sponge species, all members are leuconoid.
What do Choanocytes do? creates water flow to collect food/sexual reproduction
What do archaeocytes (ameobocytes) do? phagocytes food
What do sclerocytes do? spicule secretion
What do pinacocytes do? forms outer covering of sponge, phagocytizes food
What do myocytes do? contractile
What are fibers in sponges? Fibrous fibers made of collagen, rigid ones made of siliceous
What are spicules in sponges? needle-like pins for structure
What are mesohyl (ECM) in sponges? connective "tissue" of sponges
What is a pinacoderm in sponges? outer layer of cells
What is a dermal ostia in sponges? pores for incurrent water
What is a spongocoel in sponges? internal cavity for some sponges
What is an oscula in sponges? large hole for excurrent water
What is a medusa phase? Jellyfish form, lives freely in the water column
What is a polyp phase? Hydroid form, lives at the bottom and is sessile
What do tentacles do for cnidarians? used for defense, prey capture, feeding, and sensory information
What is a asconoid system? Choanocytes lie in large chamber called spongocoel. water enters through microscopic dermal ostia by beating flagella on choanocytes
What is a syconoid system? Choanocytes lie in canals. only has a single osculum, but the lining has been folded to make choanocyte lined canals
What is a leuconoid system? Choanocytes occupy distinct chambers. most complex system, permits increased size.
What are statocysts? Sensory structures for orientation
What are ocelli? sensory structures for light reception
Cnidocytes cells that contain cnidae
Cnidae Stinging organelles
Operculum Lid that covers the end of the capsule
Cnidocil trigger mechanism to "spring" the capsule
Hydrozoa (hydroids) typically have both sexual medusa phase and asexual polyp phase. but the polyp phase is dominant
Scyphozoa True jellyfish, medusa phase is dominant. mesoglea is thick.
Cubazoa medusa phase dominant, bell is square shaped and tentacles found at each corner
Anthozoa Flower animals, no medusa phase. Polyps are much larger than hydrozoan polyps
what do flatworms use osmoregulation for? Water balance
What do flatworms use excretion for? waste removal via diffusion across the body wall
protonephridia little primitive kidney acoelomates arranged as a flame cell system
What are flatworms nervous systems like? Ladder-like arrangement of a simple brain and sub epidermal nerve plexus
Class Turbellaria free living flatworms
Class Trematoda endoparasitic flukes
Class monogenea parasitic flukes that are mainly ectoparasites
Class Cestoda endoparasitic tapeworms
what type of body cavity do nematodes have? Pseudocoelom (fake body cavity)
Where do nematodes have sensory papillae? around head and tail, detects touch and vibration
What are renettes? Ventral cell glands posterior to the pharynx
What are bursa? Clasping organ that allows the male to hold onto the female
Metamerism Division of the body into segments
Polychaetes Annelids with many setae
What is a mantle? two folds of skin, outgrowths of the dorsal body wall form a protective layer
Class Gastropoda Snails, slugs, sea hares, sea butterflies, etc
torsion Change in relative position of shell, digestive tract, etc. during development
Class Bivaliva mussels, clams, scallops, oysters, etc.
Class Cephalopoda squids, octopuses, cuttlefish, nautiluses, etc.
