Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Platyhelminthes (Flatworms) Chapter 25 Section 1
3
Structure and Function Approximately 20,000 species! Acoelomates Bilateral symmetry Definite head region and body organs Very thin Most parasitic Some free-living
4
Where do they live? Parasitic: Inside bodies of animals Free-living: Marine, freshwater, moist land habitats, underside of rocks in swiftly flowing streams
5
Feeding What do they eat? – Dead, or slow-moving organisms – Eat blood and other body tissues
6
Feeding How do they eat? – Pharynx- tubelike muscular organ that extends out of their mouths Releases enzymes that digest prey – Food sucked into digestive tract – Parasitic have feeding structures: – Hooks and suckers
7
Digestion Reduced digestive system: – Mouth, pharynx, gastrovascular cavity No digestive system in some Absorb nutrients from their hosts’ intestines One opening- wastes released through mouth
8
Respiration and Circulation No circulatory or respiratory organs Use diffusion: – distribute O 2 and nutrients in body – remove CO 2 and wastes
9
Excretion Excretory system- network of small tubes throughout the body Flame cells- allow flatworms to excrete waste materials from their bodies Substances exit through pores
10
Response to Stimuli Nervous system – 2 nerve cords with connecting nerve tissue Looks like the rungs of a ladder Swelling containing ganglia that send nerve signals (like a brain) Ganglion- nerve cell bodies that coordinates incoming and outgoing nerve signals
12
Reproduction Hermaphrodites- produce both eggs and sperm Sexual: – 2 different flatworms exchange sperm – eggs fertilized internally Marine: zygotes hatch from cocoons released into the water
13
Asexual: – Regeneration- regrow damaged or missing body parts
14
Movement Contract muscles in body wall Glide using cilia and mucus covering
15
Diversity 3 Classes: Free Living: – Turbellaria Parasitic: – Trematoda – Cestoda
16
Turbellarians Planaria 16% of all flatworms Free-living Most are marine, though some in fresh water & terrestrial
17
Trematodes Parasitic – Infect blood or body organs of their hosts Example: Shistosoma (parastic fluke) Cause the disease Shistosomiasis in humans
18
Life Cycle of Schistosoma 48 hours to find host & urine
19
Cestodes Parasitic Tapeworms Live inside intestines of host Proglottids- contain reproductive organs Animals can get tapeworms by eating plants or drinking water contaminated with tapeworm proglottids
20
Life Cycle of Beef Tapeworm
21
Life Cycle of Pork Tapeworm
