Invertebrates Eight Major Phyla
2
Phylum Porifera Poriferans/Sponges
Contains many pores Grows back together if cut or chopped up
3
Phylum Porifera Poriferans/Sponges
Sexual and asexual reproduction Made of spicules
4
Phylum Cnidaria Cnidarians
Hollow, central body cavity with only one opening (cup shaped) “tube within a tube” Nematocysts – special stinging structures around the mouth
5
Phylum Cnidaria Cnidarians
Sexual and asexual reproduction radial symmetry
6
Phylum Platyhelminthes Flatworms
Flat bodies Regeneration – grows part back digestive tract is tube
7
Phylum Platyhelminthes Flatworms
Live in ponds and streams, bottom of plants or rocks Some live in animal or human host, others are freeliving
8
Phylum Nematoda Roundworms
Resemble strands of spaghetti Live on land or in water Can be parasites
9
Phylum Nematoda Roundworms
Have both a head end and a tail end with a digestive tube for food entrance and exits
10
Phylum Annelida Segmented worms
Ringed Body is divided into several rings or segments – at least 100
11
Phylum Annelida Segmented worms
Setae – bristles that help the worm to move Earthworms’ wastes enrich soil
12
Phylum Arthropoda Largest phyla of all animals
All have jointed legs, exoskeleton, segmented body
13
Crustaceans Shed their exoskeleton (molting)
Live in water and have gills Can regenerate some parts
14
Centipedes and Millipedes
Centipedes have one pair of legs in a segment and are carnivores Millipedes have two sets of legs in a segment and are herbivores
15
Arachnids Bodies are divided into two main sections: A head-chest section and an abdominal section All have 8 legs Only arthropod w/o antennae
16
Insects Body is divided into three main sections: head, thorax (chest), and abdomen Has three pairs of legs, antennae, and most have wings
17
Insects Open circulatory system Shed their exoskeleton as they grow
18
Insects Metamorphosis stage changes (egg to larva to pupa to adult)
Pheromones – powerful chemicals released to attract a mate
19
Phylum Mollusca Mollusks
All have soft bodies All have a mantle to produce shell
20
Univalves/Gastropods (one-shelled)
Live in ocean, freshwater, or on land (need moisture) Radula files off bits of plants
21
Univalves/Gastropods (one-shelled)
Some inject poison, dangerous to people Moves along mucus
22
Bivalves (two-shelled)
Move by clapping the two shells together
23
Bivalves (two-shelled)
Bivalves are often called filter feeders because they spend most of their time straining water for food
24
Tentacled/Cephlopods
Have some part of a shell within their body (except nautilus)
25
Tentacled/Cephalopods
Number of tentacles for capturing food varies Water jet propulsion for movement
26
Phylum Echinodermata Echinoderms
Name means “Spiny-skinned” Regenerate lost/broken body parts
27
Phylum Echinodermata Echinoderms
Water vascular system five-part radial symmetry
28
You are done with the notes.
Now you have everything you NEED to be ready for next week’s test. There is no excuse to do poorly - you have a week to prepare and memorize these facts!
