765095544Invertebratesanimals that lack a backbone
765095545Invertebrate PhylaPorifera- sponges ; lack true tissues Cnidaria - corals,jellies, hydras Ctenophora- comb jelly - make up most the ocean's plankton
765095546Lophotrochozoan PhylaPlatyhelminthes- flat worms Rotifera- have an alimentary canal- feed on organisms suspended in water Brachiopoda- lamp shells; have stalks that anchors them to their substrate and a crown of cilia called lophophore Ectoprocta- live as sessile colonies covered by tough exoskeltons Acanthocephala- spiny-headed worms; parasites Cycliophora- Symbion pandora- lives on the mouthparts of lobsters Mollusca- squids, snails, clams, Annelida- segmented worms
765095547Ecdysozoan PhylaPriapula- wroms with large rounded proboscis at one end ( looks like a penis kinda)- burrow in seafloor sediments Onychophora- velvet worms Nematoda- roundworms Tardigrada- water bears Arthropoda- insects, crustaceans and arachnids
765095548DeuterostomiaHemichordata- acorn worms Chordata- have backbones, tunicates, lancelets, and hagfishes Echinodermata- sea stars, sand dollars, sea urchins
765095549Phylum Poriferasponges- basal animals
765095550Suspension Feeders- sponges capture food particles suspended in water that passes thru their body
765095551Spongocoelcentral cavity of a sponge
765095552Osculumlarger opening of the sponge where water flows out of it
765095553Choanocytesflagellated cells that line the inside of the spongocoel - engulf bacteria and other food particles via phagocytosis
765095554Mesohylregion that separates the two layers of cells in a sponge
765095555Amoebocytes- cells that move thru the mesohyl - transport nutrients to other cells of the body - produce materials for skeletal fibers (spicules) - can become any type of cell the sponge needs
765095556Hermaphroditeseach individual sponge functions as both male and female in sexual reproduction
765259366Phylum Cnidaria-have sessile and motile forms - first animal with tissues (endoderm & ectoderm) -diploblastic ex: hydras, corals, and jellies
765259367Gastrovascular cavitydigestive compartment
765259368Cnidarians have 2 different body planspolyp and medusa
765259369Polypscylindrical forms adhering to a substrate by the aboral end of the their body - have tentacles near the mouth/anus Ex: hydra and sea anenomes
765259370Medusafree floating bell shaped body - mouth faces down ex: jellies
765259371Cnidocytescells on tentacles that function in defense and prey capture
765259372Nematocystscontain a stinging thread that can penetrate the body wall of cnidarian's prey - contained inside a cnidocyte
765259373Outer layer of a Cnidarianepidermis
765259374Inner layer of a Cnidariangastrodermis
767709872Mesogleaseperates the epidermis from the gastrodermis
7652593754 Classes of Phylum CnidariaHydrozoa Scyphozoa Cubozoa Anthozoa
765259376Class Hydrozoa- alternate between polyp and medusa forms ex: Obelia ex: Hydras- unique b/c they exist in polyp form only
765259377Obelia Life Cycle1.) Colony of interconnected polyps (2n) 2.) Some polyps are equipped with tentacles for feeding 3.) others are specialized for reproduction --> produce tiny medusa by asexual budding 4.) Medusa swim off and reproduce sexually- one type producing sperm (n), another type producing an egg(n) 5.) Egg and sperm fuse into a zygote (2n) 6.) Zygote develops into a solid ciliated larva = planula 7.) Planula develops into a new polyp (2n)
765259378Class Scyphozoa-medusa form is predominant ex: jellies
765259379Class Cubozoans- box-shaped medusa - have complex eyes embedded in their fringe of their medusa ex: sea wasp- a box jelly
765259380Class Anthozoaex: sea anenomes and corals - occur only as polyps - many have a hard external skeleton made of calcium carbonate
765704049Phylum Platyhelminthesflatworms - Tubellarians - can be free-living or parasitic - acoelomates - gas exchange occurs via diffusion across the skin - have a gastrovascular cavity with only one opening
765704050Protonephridianetworks of tubules with ciliated structures called flame bulbs that pull fluid through branched ducts opening to the outside
765704051Planariansfree-living flatworms ex: Dugesia - reproduce asexually via fission
765704052Anatomy of a PlanarianPharynx Ganglia Ventral Nerve Cords Eyespots- light receptors Mouth
765704053Trematodes- alternating sexual and asexual stages - require an intermediate host ex: Blood fluke- Schistosoma
765704054Life Cycle of a Blood Fluke1.) mature flukes live in blood vessels of human intestines 2.) flukes reproduce sexually in host. Fertilized eggs exit the host in feces 3.) If the human feces reach a pond or other source of water, the eggs develop into ciliated larvae. Larvae infect snails (intermediate snails) 4.) Asexual reproduction inside snail results in a motile larva, which escapes the snail host 5.) Larvae penetrate the skin and blood vessels of humans working in the water with contaminate fluke larvae
765704055Tapeworms-parasitic flatworms - has a scolex on the head with suckers - absorb nutrients thru its body surface - does not have a mouth - proglottids- little sacs of sex organs behind the scolex
766371971Phylum Rotiferarotifers- tiny animals that inhabit freshwater, marine, and damp soil habitats - have an alimentary canal (mouth, stomach, anus) - have a crown of cilia that draw a vortex of water into the mouth
766371972Alimentary Canaldigestive tube with 2 openings --> a mouth and anus
766371973Parthenogenesis- females produce more females from unfertilized eggs - type of asexual reproduction seen in rotifers
767709873Lophophorates- animals that have lophophore = a crown of ciliated tentacles around their mouth - are coelomates - bilaterians in the phyla: Ectoprocta & Brachiopoda
767709874Ectoprocts-colonial animals like look like clumps of moss - have a hard exoskeleton with pores that the lophophore come out of - live in the ocean and freshwater - "net" animals
767709875Brachiopodslamp shells - resemble clams--> have a hinged shell - marine
767709876Molluscssnails, oysters, clams, octopi, squids Phylum: Mollusca - soft bodied, most form a protective shell made of calcium carbonate - calcium carbonate mixed with agragonite - forms pretty colors (think pearls) -coelomates
7677098773 Main Body parts of a MolluscsFoot = used for movement Visceral mass = contains the internal organs Mantle = fold of tissue that drapes over the visceral mass, secretes the shell
767709878Mantle Cavitywater filled chamber that houses the gills, anus, and excretory pores
767709879Radulastrap-like organ that molluscs use to scrape and scoop up food (algae) - located in the mouth region
767709880Nephridiumexcretory organs that remove metabolic wastes from the hemolymph
767709881Heartpumps hemolymph through the open circulatory system
7677098824 Classes of MolluscaPolyplacophora Gastropoda Bivalvia Cephalopoda

768547224CephalopodsClass Cephalopoda - marine predators - use tentacles to grasp prey - only molluscs with a closed circulatory system - blood is seperate from fluid in the body cavity
768547225AnnelidsPhylum Annelida - segmented worms -coelomates - 2 Classes: Polychaeta and Oligochaeta
768547226Polychaeteshave parapodia for locomotion and function as gills ex: Christmas tree worm
768547227Oligochaetes-earthworms and leeches - no parapodia
768547228Earthwormseat soil - till and aerate the soil --> helps farmers - hermaphrodites
768547229Earthworm AnatomyChaetae Cerebral ganglia Ventral Nerve cords with segmental ganglia Coelom Circulatory System Metanephridium
768547230Chaetae-each segment of the body has four pairs of them - bristles that provide traction for burrowing
768547231Coelomit is partitioned by septa
768547232Ventral Nerve Cords with segmental gangliaNerve cords penetrate the septa and run the length of the worm
768547233Circulatory system- closed - dorsal and ventral vessels are joined via segmental pairs of vessels
768547234Cerebral ganglia- located above and in front of the pharynx - a ring around the pharynx connects to a ganglion that runs the length of the body
768547235Metanephridiuma pair of excretory tubes in each segment of the worm with ciliated openings - removes metabolic wastes from the blood - removes ammonia & its compounds - will evolve into kidneys in other organisms
768547236Nephrostomesciliated funnel-shaped openings of the metanephridium
768547237Ecdysozoa- animal that shed their exoskeleton ( aka cuticle) as they grow = ecdysis ( or molting) ex: nematodes and arthropods
768547238NematodesPhylum Nematoda - roundworms - parasites - no segmented bodies - have an alimentary canal, but no circulatory system ex: Trichinella spiralis- encysts in muscle tissue and causes trichinosis `
768547239ArthropodsPhylum Arthropoda - crustaceans, insects, arachnids - segmented body, hard exoskeleton and jointed appendages -specialized appendages for walking, swimming, feeding, etc. - body covered by an exoskeleton - open circulatory system - coelomates
768547240Open Circulatory Systemhemolymph is propelled by the heart through short arteries and then into spaces called sinuses surronding organs and tissue

768659028Insectssubphylum (Hexapoda) - 3 body regions: head, thorax, abdomen - can fly
768659029Malpighian tubes-removes metabolic wastes from the hemolymph -outpocketings of the digestive tract
768659030Tracheal tubeswhere gas exchange occurs - branched chitin-lined tubes that infiltrate the body & carry oxygen to cells - tracheal system opens to the outside of the body through spiracles
768659031Spiraclespores that can control air flow and water loss by opening/closing
768672044Incomplete Metamorphosisex: grasshoppers - young(nymph) resemble the adults but lack wings - nymph undergoes series of molts and gradually looks more like the adult and becomes sexually mature
768672045Complete Metamorphosislarvae stages specialized for eating and growing - larval stage looks entirely different from the adult larva--> pupa in a cocoon --> adult
768672046Crustaceans- mostly aquatic - 2 pairs of antennae - legs present on thorax and abdomen - lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, barnacles - have a thick carapace that covers the cephalothorax
768672047DeuterostomiaPhylum Chordata and Phylum Echinodermata
769104154Echinodermsex: Sea stars - slow-moving or sessile - have skeletal bumps or spines - have a water vascular system - pentaradial symmetry- with 5 arms
769104155Water vascular systemnetwork of hydraulic canals branching into extensions called tube feet that function in feeding/locomotion
7691041565 Clades of EchinodermsAsteroidea Ophiuroidea Echinodea Crinoidea Holothuroidea
769104157Asteroideasea stars & sea daises - 5 arms radiating from a central disk - have tube feet for feeding and suction - can re-grow a lost arm - ejects its stomach outside of its body to feed on bivalves
769104158Madreporitepore that allows water to flow in/out of the water vascular system and into the surrounding water
769104159Central diskhas a nerve ring and nerve cords radiating from the ring into the arms
769104160Radial canalwater vascular system consists of a ring canal in the central disk and five radial canals running down a groove in each arm - branching from each radial canal are hundreds of hollow tube feet filled with fluid
769104161Tube feetconsists of a bulb-like ampulla & a podium (foot) - allows them to regulate water pressure for locomotion
769104162How does the sea star move and adhere to rocks?- When ampulla squeezes, water is forced into the podium, expanding and contracting the substrate. - adhesive chemicals are secreted from the base of podium, attaching it to the substrate - to detach tube foot, de-adhesive chemicals are secreted and muslces in podium contract--> forces water back into the ampulla & it shortens the podium
769104163OphiuroideaBrittle stars - central disk with long, flexible stars
769104164Echinoideasea urchin and sand dollars - no arms, long spines on their bodies - tube feet
769104165Crinoideafeather stars and sea lillies
769104166Holothuroideasea cucumbers - lack spines, have tube feet
