2
Flatworms (Platyhelminthes) Includes Planaria, tapeworms, flukes Bilaterally symmetrical Three embryonic tissues = endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm No body cavity, mesoderm muscle inside Blind digestive track shown here Most are parasitic and are economically important
3
a) Radial, asymmetrical b) Radial, bilateral c) Bilateral, radial d) Asymmetrical, bilateral
4
Parasitic – 2 hosts Whitish in color Absorbs nutrients through outer body wall Each reproductive unit can have 100,000 eggs inside Humans can get by eating under cooked meat
5
Partial or Pseudocoelom True Coelom
6
Very common – 99% of us have been hosts to some sort of round worm in our life time Bilateral, 3 tissues Body cavity between mesoderm & endoderm
7
In soil, vinegar (eels), rotting fruits & veggies, parasitic Complete digestive track Muscles along body wall (from mesoderm) allow for whole body movement back and forth Range in size -1 mm to > 1 m Body is covered by a cuticle that keeps it from desiccating
9
Earthworms, leeches, various marine polychaetes such as fire worm 3 tissues, true body cavity or coelom Body is segmented into repeating units, which enable the animals to move by stretching and contracting segments Complete digestive system, brain and nerve chord, circulatory system has 5 pumping tube rings Polychaetes have a pair of fleshy appendages per segment
10
Annelid variety – parasites, filter feeders, and taking organic material from soil
13
Snails, slugs, clams, scallops, oysters, octopus, squid, cuttlefish, etc. Good eating! Bilateral symmetry, 3 true tissues True coelom – totally surrounded by muscle (mesoderm); internal organs have muscles like gut and circulatory system as well as outer body wall – complete digestive track Body = head and foot Some of the most intelligent invertebrates
14
True body cavity or coelom – muscle surrounds gut, blood vessels, etc. Brain, nerves and sensory organs Snails – hermaphrodites – both are male to each other’s female organs when 2 mate Terrestrial snails and slugs use mucus secretions to keep body surface moist

A. Nematode B. Flatworm - Platyhelminthes C. Cnidaria D. Sponge - Porifera 1 2 34
19
Very large group – about ¾ of all known species 3 tissues, true body cavity or coelom Brain and ventral nerve cord tube body is consolidated into different body regions, such as head, thorax and abdomen of insect Appendages have become modified in different ways during course of evolution 1 st 5 – head & mouthparts, next 3 thorax & legs, last segments – abdomen, ovipositor, penis
21
Economically important group Disease transmission in human, pet, livestock, crop Predators – lower pest populations Consume our crops, but also pollinate crops Source of food for many Unique level of social organization in some
22
Live in groups or colonies Queen plus her daughters Cells contain stored pollen and nectar and brood Trophallaxis and communication Colony cycle
25
3 tissues, true coelom Their embryological development sets them apart from the other invertebrates. They develop backwards orientation from other invertebrates – similar to vertebrate animals So this makes them the most similar to vertebrate animals
26
A. Nematode B. Annelida – Segmented worm C. Echinodermata D. Sponge - Porifera 1 2 4 3
27
a) Mesoderm b) Ectoderm c) Endoderm

Tunicates
31
Review Two tissues, no coelom no coelom partial coelom true coelom 3 tissues
