1 Phylum Mollusca Gastropods (Snails, slugs) Bivalves (oysters, clams, mussels) Cephalopods (squid, cuttlefish, octopus) Marine, freshwater, moist land Secretes shell Locomotive foot

2 Class Gastropoda Mantle –Tissue that secretes shell Radula –Rows of rasping teeth for grazing –Modified in predators

3 Cone shells Single harpoon tooth –evolved from rowed ancestors –filled with paralyzing venom Conotoxins –Medical value for specific neural & muscle treatment –Addictive-free pain killers

4 Class Bivalvia Clams, oysters, mussels… Suspension filter feeders –Incurrent & excurrent siphons Spade-foot for locomotion Two valves (shells) secreted by mantle –Held closed by powerful adductor muscles

5 Class Polyplacophora –Chitons Graze on microalgae 8 overlapping plates Class Scaphopoda –Tusk shells Open at both ends Deeper benthic sand/mud

6 Class Cephalopoda Squid, octopus, cuttlefish, nautilus Shell: internal, external, or lacking Well developed nervous system Most adapted for active predatory lifestyle

7 Muscular foot modified to arms &/or tentacles –Siphon for locomotion Hydropropulsion Ink sac or gland –defense Chromatophores –Adjustable pigment cells Conotoxins in some

8 Phylum Arthropoda Insects, spiders, crabs, shrimp, centipedes Aquatic and land External skeleton Jointed bilateral appendages Segmented body Open circulatory system Many marine crustaceans –Two pairs of antennae –gills

9 Class Copepoda Very abundant plankton Long first antennae

10 Class Cirripedia Suspension feeders –Cirri Protected by calcareous plates Free-swimming larvae

11 Decapoda Shrimps, crabs, lobsters… 5 pairs walking legs –Thoracic pereopods –1 st pr as cheliped 5 pairs abdominal appendages –Pleopods or swimmerets

12 Amphipoda & Isopoda Laterally flattened Shrimp-like Dorsal-ventrally flattened

13 Phylum Echinodermata Spiny skin 5 classes –Crinoidea--feather stars and sea lilies –Asteriodea--sea stars –Ophiuroidea--brittle stars and basket stars –Echinoidea--sand dollars and sea urchins –Holothuroidea--sea cucumbers All marine; mostly benthic (sea floor) Radial symmetry Water vascular system –Tube feet Some regenerate asexually

14

15 Lophophorates Lophophore = unique ciliated feeding structure Bryozoans –Colonial moss animals –Secrete CaCO3 Brachiopods –Two valves (shells) Chaetognaths –Lophophore modified –Voracious predators

16 Phylum Chordata Notochord –Flexible rod-like structure Dorsal nerve cord –Tube for nerves Pharyngeal gill slits –Respiration and feeding Post-anal tail –Reabsorbed in some species Invertebrate chordates examples –Urochordata Tunicates, sea squirts, ascidians –Cephalochordata lancelets
