Term
Bilateria consists of
Definition
Lophotrochozoans, Ecdysozoa, Deuterostomes
-all have bilateral symmetry and triploblastic development
Term
3 phylums of Lophotrochozoans
Definition
Platyhelminthes (flatworms), Lophophorates (brachiopods, phoronids, ectoprocts), Trochozoans (molluscs and annelids)
Term
Flatworms
Definition
-member of platyhelminthes
-live in marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial habitats
-flattened and have a gastrovascular cavity
-although placed with the lophotrochozoans, they lack either a lophophore or a trochophore larvae
-although they undergo triploblastic development they are acoelomates
Term
4 classes of flatworms
Definition
turbellaria, monogenea, trematoda, cestoda
Term
Turbellarian
Definition
nearly all free-living and mostly marine
Term
What turbellarians have light-sensitive eyespots and centralized nerve nets?
Definition
planarians
Term
spend part of their lives in snail hosts
Definition
trematodes that parasitize humans
Term
Class Cestoda
Definition
Tapeworms
Term
Lophophorates consist of
Definition
-Brachiopods, Phoronids, Ectoprocts
Term
A horseshoe-shaped, suspension-feeding organ bearing ciliated tentacles
Definition
lophophore
Term
Brachiods
Definition
superficially resemble clams and other hinge shelled mollusks
Term
Phoronids
Definition
are tube-dwelling marine worms ranging from 1mm to 50cm in length
Term
Ectoprocts
Definition
colonial animals that superficially resemble plants
Term
Phylum Annelida
Definition
segmented worms
-have bodies composed of a series of fused rings
-Trochophore larvae
Term
Classes of Annelids
Definition
Polychaetes, Oligochaetes, Leeches
Term
Phylum Mollusca
Definition
includes snails, slugs, oysters and clams, octopuses and squids
-most mollusks are marine though some inhabit fresh water and some are terrestrial
-soft bodied animals but most are protected by a hard shell
-Trochophore larvae as part of life cycle
-body plans with three main parts: muscular foot, visceral mass, mantle
Term
3 main body characteristics of Molluscs
Definition
-muscular foot
-visceral mass
-a mantle
Term
4 classes of mollusks
Definition
Polyplacophora (chitons), Gastropoda (snails, slugs), Bivalvia (clams, mussels, scallops, oysters…ect), Cephalopoda (squids, octopuses, cuttlefish)
Term
Chitons
Definition
-oval shaped marine animals encased in an armor of eight dorsal plates
Term
Gastropods
Definition
3/4 of all living species of mollusks
Term
Bivalves
Definition
have shell divided into two halves
Term
Cephalopods
Definition
squids, octupuses, nautiluses
Term
Ecdysozoans
Definition
-nematodes (roundworms), arthropods(crabs, spiders, insects,ect.)
-have chitin-based outer covering or exoskeleton. Molt by ecdysis
Term
Nematoda
Definition
-nonsegmented pseudocoelomates covered by a touch cuticle
-among the most widespread of all animals, nematodes, or roundworms
-found in most aquatic habitats, in the soil, in moist tissues of plants, and in the body fluids and tissues of animals
Term
Arthropoda
Definition
-segmented coelomates
-have exoskeleton
-jointed appendages
-2/3 known species of animals are arthropods
-found in nearly all habitats of the biosphere
-have an open circulatory system in which a fluid called hemolymph is circulated into the spaces surrounding the tissues and organs
-variety of organs specialized for gas exchange
Term
The four major lineages of arthropods that diverged early their evolution
Definition
1.Cheliceriforms (spiders, mites, scorpions)
2.Myriopoda (centipedes/millipedes)
3. Insects
4.Crustaceans
Term
more species-rich than all other forms of life combined
Definition
insects
-live in almost every terrestrial habitat and in freshwater
Term
Crustaceans
Definition
typically have branched appendages that are extensively specialized for feeding and locomotion
Term
Dueterostomes
Definition
Echinoderms and chordates
-may seem to have little in common with phylum chordata, which includes vertebrates
-radial cleavage
-development of the coelom from the archenteron
-formation of the mouth at the end of the embryo opposite the blastopore
Term
Echinoderms
Definition
-have thin, bumpy or spiny skin that covers an endoskeleton of hard calcareous plates
-sea stars and most other echinoderms are slow-moving or sessile marine animals
-evovled secondarily from the bilateral symmetry of ancestors
Term
Chordates
Definition
-phylum chordata
-consists of two subphyla of invertebrates as well as the hagfishes and the vertebrates
-shares many features of embryonic development with echinoderms
Term
All chordates share a set of
Definition
derived characters although some species possess traits that exist only during embryonic development
Term
Tunicates
Definition
-subphylum Urochordata
-belong to the deepest-branching lineage of chordates
-are marine suspension feeders commonly called sea squirts
-resemble chordates during their larval stage
-as an adult, they draw in water through an incurrent siphon filtering food particles
Term
Lancelets
Definition
-subphylum Cephalochordata
-named for their bladelike shape
Term
Hagfishes
Definition
the least derived craniate lineage that still survives
-have cartilaginous skull and axial rod of cartilage derived form the notochord
-lack vertebrae
Term
Lampreys
Definition
-class Cephalspidomorphi
-represents the oldest living lineage of vertebrates
-have cartilaginous segments surrounding the notochord and arching partly over the nerve cord
-they are jawless vertebrates
Term
Chondrichthyes
Definition
-cartilaginous fish
-have jaws
-sharks and rays
Term
Vertebrates rule in ___, not in numbers of species or individuals
Definition
size
Term
invertebrate lineages of vertebrates are
Definition
size limited
-exoskeleton and circulation system of arthropods limits size
Term
Evolution tried many bods resulting in how many extant phyla
Definition
35
Term
Once an internal skeleton and head evolve, further elaboration allowed vertebrates to
Definition
proliferate and to dominate the large-bodied niches
