1
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca
Body Plan: Two Main Regions *Head *Foot mouth Large muscle used sensory organs for locomotion *Visceral mass contains heart, organs of digestion, excretion, and reproduction *Mantle - layer of epidermis covering the visceral mass
2
Phylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda
Stomach Foot Conch, snails, abalones (single shell) Slugs and nudibranchs (no shell) Open Circulatory System – no blood vessels Organs are bathed in blood Torsion: during larval development the visceral mass twists around 180 degrees *allows animal to withdraw inside shell as an adult
4
mantle secretes calcium carbonate shell
Protects gills Ganglia - paired clusters of nerve cells Radula - flexible, tongue-like strip of tissue covered with tough, abrasive teeth
5
Killer Cone Snail
6
Phylum: Mollusca Class: Pelecypoda
Hatchet Foot Clams, oysters, and scallops Bivalves (two shells) Adductor muscles that open and close the shell Open Circulatory Filter feeders
7
Shell (consists of three layers)
Outer layer protects against acidity of water Middle layer of calcium carbonate strengthens the shell Inner prismatic layer protects the animals smooth body *Pearl - grain of sand between the mantle it gets coated with the inner layer
8
Clam Cilia on gills create water current Hinge Umbo Muscle Scars
incurrent siphon excurrent siphon Hinge Umbo Muscle Scars Mantle Scar Foot Visceral Mass - organs Gills Digestive Gland - green Pedipalps-reproductive organ
9
Clam vs. The World
10
Phylum: Mollusca Class: Cephalopoda
Head Foot Octopuses, squids, cuttlefish, and chambered nautilus Free swimming Predators Circle of tentacles with powerful suction cups Beak Brain - Largest of all Invertebrates Closed Circulatory System Chromatophores – pigment cells
11
Class: Cephalopoda Octopus Eight tentacles
Jet propulsion- more likely to crawl along bottom No shell Chambered Nautilus Only cephalopod with external shell Shell with gas-filled chambers for buoyancy
12
Octopus vs. Shark
13
Squid Ten tentacles - Longest two used for capturing prey
Muscular mantle - Propels squid with jet propulsion The giant squid: Architeuthis may reach 43 feet Worlds 2nd largest invertebrate Ink Sac Siphon Male/Female Pen (internal skeleton - remnant of shell) Beak
14
Colossal Squid Worlds Largest Squid Species: 46 feet
15
Sudden Death Cuttlefish
16
Phylum: Annelida Earthworms, leeches, etc. Segmented Worms
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Annelida Earthworms, leeches, etc. Segmented Worms
17
Characteristics Bilaterally symmetrical
Segmented worms – allows for efficient movement (shortening & lengthening of the body) Setae – external bristles Parapodia – fleshy protrusions # of setae and presence or absence of parapodia divide the phylum into 3 classes
18
Class Oligochaeta “few bristles”
Few setae on each segment No parapodia Live in soil or in fresh water Ex: earthworm
19
Earthworm: Lumbricus terrestris
Nocturnal More than 100 segments Circular and longitudinal muscles Setae grip the ground
20
Feeding & Digestion Pharynx esophagus crop gizzard long intestine anus Pharynx – muscle in front that sucks in food Crop – temporarily stores food Gizzard – grinds soil up to remove nutrients Maintain fertility of soil Aerate soil and loosen soil
21
Closed circulatory system
Ventral & Dorsal blood vessel Aortic arches – five pairs of muscular tubes Respiration Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse directly through the skin (moist) Excretion Nephridia – excretory tubules in each segment except first 3 and the last one
22
Chain of ganglia connected by a ventral nerve cord
Several ganglia are fused in the anterior segments to form the cerebral ganglia (brain) Process simple senses – light, touch, chemicals, moisture, T, and vibrations Reproduction Hermaphrodites (can’t fertilize own eggs) Clitellum – thickened region secretes mucus Sperm is secreted into the mucus and travels to the Seminal receptacles (stored)
23
Class Polychaeta “many bristles”
Numerous setae & parapodia Parapodia function in gas exchange Antennae and specialized mouthparts Most live in marine habitats Some are free-swimming predators Others feed on sediment as they burrow for food
24
Class: Hirudinea (leeches)
No setae; no parapodia Live in calm bodies of fresh water or moist vegetation Sucker at each end of their bodies used to attach to surfaces Some are parasitic can secrete an anesthetic and an anticoagulant so they can feed on blood Can ingest 10X their own body weight
