Animals - Protostomes Chapter 29
2
Characteristics of Protostomia:
Based on embryonic development Spiral cell arrangement – early cell divisions are diagonal to the polar axis Determinate cleavage – each cell’s fate is fixed very early Blastophore develops into the mouth
4
Platyhelminthes: Flatworms
The largest group of acoelomate worms Contain a mesoderm Have tissues organized into organs Bilaterally symmetrical Flat, ribbon-like body Have a highly branched gastrovascular cavity Dissolved substances move through the body by diffusion Most do not have a respiratory or circulatory system
5
Planaria
6
Marine Flatworm
7
Tapeworm
8
Fluke
9
Nematodes: Roundworms
Pseudocoelomates – fluid movement acts as a simple circulatory system Have a one-way digestive tract
10
Ascaris
11
Trichinella
12
Hookworms
13
Mollusks: Soft-bodied Animals
Snails, slugs, oysters, clams, scallops, octopuses, squid A larval stage called a trochophore Second largest phylum of animals Found in almost all marine, freshwater and land ecosystems Three major classes: Gastropods Bivalves Cephalopods
14
Gastropod means ‘stomach-foot’
15
Bivalve means ‘two-shells’
16
Cephalopods – ‘head-foot’ squid, chambered nautilus, octopus
17
Annelids – Segmented Worms
Coelomates 2/3rds are marine Each segment contains digestive, excretory, circulatory and locomotor organs and is separated from other segments by septa Some segments also contain areas responsible for specific functions such as reproduction, feeding or sensation A primitive brain – the cerebral ganglion – is located at the anterior end, with a nerve cord that runs the length of the body
18
Marine Tube Worms glue grains of sand together to make their tubes
19
Marine Feather Duster Tube Worms
20
Earthworms are hermaphrodites but don’t fertilize their own eggs
21
Leeches can be useful medicinally
22
Arthropods – jointed legged animals
All have jointed appendages – legs, antennae, and mouth parts The largest group of animals – more arthropods than all other groups combined Divided into two groups: those with jaws and those with fangs or pincers
23
Three body parts – head, thorax, abdomen
24
Cephalothorax – combines head and thorax with a separate abdomen
25
Arthropods must molt their exoskeletons as they grow
26
Spider fangs
27
Some arachnids have pincers
28
Centipedes – 1 pair of legs/segment
29
Millipedes – 2 pairs of legs/segment
30
Isopod
31
Shrimp
32
Lobster
33
Crabs
34
Crayfish
35
Barnacles
