1
WORMS
2
Flatworms Phylum: Platyhelminthes Bilateral symmetry Cephalization
Acoelomates-without colelom
4
Speckled Flatworm Clings onto lower rocks.
Eats amphipods by engulfing them with mucus and swallowing them whole!
5
Blood Fluke
6
Form and Function Feeding: Carnivores, parasitic
Mouth with pharynx (muscular tube that moves food and waste)
7
Respiration, Circulation, Excretion
Use diffusion for transport Some have flame cells to filter and remove waste Many flame cells form tubes that lead to pores on the skin
8
Response Ganglia for control (nerve cells). Eyespot – detect light.
Some have specialized cell to detect chemicals,food,etc.
9
Movement Cillia Muscle cells
10
Reproduction Hermaphrodites Asexual by fission
11
Groups of Flatworms
12
Turbellarians Free-living Marine or fresh water
13
Flukes Parasitic Infect internal organs
Blood flukes-works its way into your intestines Multiple host
15
Schistosomiasis-fluke eggs clot blood vessels, causing swelling of tissue.
Caused by human waste in water supply.
16
Tapeworms Parasitic Lives in intestines Long and flat
Scolex- suckers or hooks
18
Roundworms
19
Unsegmented Most are freeliving Digestive tract with two openings
20
Form and Function
21
Feeding Most are carnivores Use mouth parts and spines to catch food
Some eat algae Some are decomposers
22
Respiration, Circulation, Excretion
No internal transport- diffusion
23
Response Ganglia from head Simple structures to detect chemicals
24
Movement Hydrostatic skeleton
Muscles and fluid in the pseudocoelom work together to produce movement
25
Reproduction Sexually Internal fertilization
26
Human Disease
27
Trichinosis Lives in intestines of mammals
1. Females burrow into intestinal wall 2. Eggs into larvae travel to organs by bloodstream.
28
Filarial Worms Live in blood vessels Transmitted by mosquitoes
Can block the movement of fluids Elephantiasis
30
Ascaris 1. Eggs hatch in intestines
2. Burrow into bloodstream to lungs 3. Travel to air passages, then swallowed 4.Carried to the intestines
32
Annelids
33
Body segments True coelom lined with mesoderm
34
Form and Function Feeding and digestion Filter feeders to predators
In earthworm pharynx to esophagus to crop to gizzard to intestine
37
Circulation- closed system, Two major blood vessels
Dorsal runs to the head, Ventral to the tail Respiration- Through the skin, gills in aquatic annelids Excretion- Nephridia filters fluid in the coelom, anus for the digestive tract
38
Movement- Hydrostatic, setae
Reproduction- Most are sexual, Hermaphrodites Clitellum used to form mucus ring
40
GROUPS OF ANNELIDS
41
Oligochaetes- Earthworms
42
Hirudinea- Leeches
45
Polychaetes Sandworms, bloodworms
46
Earthworm Dissection
47
External View
48
Internal Structure
49
Pharynx
50
Aortic Arches
51
Seminal Vesicle
52
Seminal Receptacle
53
Septum
54
Crop
55
Gizzard
56
Intestine
57
Ventral Nerve Cord
58
Dorsal Blood Vessel
