4: Platyhelmites Flashcards
(39 cards)
a large clade that contains almost all tripoblastic animals
bilateria
2 subdivisions of bilateria
protostomes, deuterostomes
5 protostomes
platyhelminthes
annelida
mollusca
nematoda
arthropoda
2 deuterostomes
echinodermata
chordata
3 bilateria clades
lophotrochozoa, ecdysozoa, deuterostomia
protostome taxon that possess either a lophophore or a trochophore larva
lophotrochozoa
crown of ciliated tentacles found near the mouth; used for feeding and respiration; in type of larva
lophophore
- free-swimming larva with a ring of large ciliated cells in front of the mouth
- for locomotion, feeding
- annelids, molluscs have
trochophore
- protostome
- consists of free-living and parasitic species
- dorsoventrally flattened bodies
- acoelomate
platyhelminthes (flatworms)
rod-like structures that swell and form a protective mucous sheath
rhabdites
epidermis of free-living flatworms
ciliated, dual-gland adhesive organs, rhabdites
in ciliated epidermis of free-living flatworms for attaching to surfaces
dual-gland adhesive organs
- epidermis of parasitic flatworms
- multiple nuclei w/in one cell membrane
- resistant to immune response
syncytial tegument
Flatworm type:
- larvae ciliated and lose cilia once host is contacted
- nonciliated epidermis
- have syncytial tegument
- feed on host tissue
parasitic flatworms
Flatworm type:
- either predators or scavengers
- use ciliated epidermis to glide across surfaces
free-living flatworms
flatworms have a simple excretory system for waste fluids made up of ______
photonephridia
in excretory system in flatworms that line tubules and direct waste
flagellated flame cells
two organ systems that flatworms lack
respiratory, circulatory
flatworm that develops both male and female organs during breeding season
turbellarian
2 worms fight and attempt to stab each other w their penis to inseminate
penis fencing
4 flatworm classes
turbellaria
monogenea
trematoda
cestoda
Flatworm class:
- mostly free-living
- inhabit marine, freshwater, moist terrestrial
- tricladida/polycladida intestines
- move w combination of cilia and muscular movements
turbellaria
intestines w 3 branches
tricladida
intestines w more than 3 branches
polycladida
