1
Mollusks and Annelids
2
Mollusks Head/Foot Visceral Mass Mantle
Sense organs, locomotion, mouth Visceral Mass Organ systems Mantle Secretes shell Gaseous exchange (gills or lungs)
3
Basic Anatomy
4
Class Gastropoda Snails, abalone, slugs, nudibranchs, limpets
Slow moving predators or herbivores Gills in most, some have lungs Coiling and torsion of visceral mass Open circulatory system
5
Gastropoda Body Plan
6
Gastropoda Torsion
7
Gastropoda Coiling
8
Class Bivalvia Clams, muscles, scallops Open circulatory system
Laterally compressed Shell in two halves, hinged Suspension feeders Open circulatory system
9
Bivalvia Feeding
10
Bivalvia Body Plan
11
Class Cephalopoda Octopus, squid, nautilus
Foot developed into tentacles Very mobile predators Highly advanced brain and eyes Closed circulatory system
12
Nautilus Anatomy
13
Squid Anatomy
15
Cephalopod Eye Develops from ectoderm Convergent evolution
16
Taningia danae Largest light producing squid - ~2 meters (7 ft)
17
Taningia danae Grips prey with rows of hooks – not suckers
Eats fish and other squid
18
Architeuthis dux Largest invertebrate - ~18 meters (60 feet)
19
Architeuthis dux Catches prey with double row of spiny suckers
Eats fish and other squid
20
Annelids Segmented (metamers) Septa separate coelem at each segment
Longitudinal and circular muscles Peristaltic movement Closed circulatory system Advanced nephridia
21
Body Plan
22
Class Polychaeta Very diverse methods of feeding Parapodia Movement
Gas exchange
27
Class Oligochaeta Examples Earthworms Tubifex worms
28
Longitudinal Anatomy
29
Circulatory System Closed – capillary network for exchange
Dorsal and ventral blood vessels Five aortic arches for pumping (heart)
30
Cross Sectional Anatomy
31
Nephridia Found in each segment
33
Reproduction Hermaphroditic – exchange sperm Clitellum
Attach during mating Secretes cocoon
35
Class Hirudinea Leeches Anterior and posterior sucker No septa
Coelom filled with muscle and connective tissue Many lack enzymes for digestion – rely on bacteria
