Annelida characteristics
metamerism; Complete mouth-to-anus digestive tract w muscular walls; High degree of cephalization
what type of circulatory system do annelids have?
closed
what is metamerism?
segmentation
what classes are in annelida?
Errantia and Sedentaria
what animals are in class Errantia?
motile polychaetes
what animals are in Class Sedentaria?
sedentary polychaetes, earthworms, leeches
where does Class Errantia live?
marine - mud and debris of shallow water, mucus lined burrows
Class Errantia characteristics
similar to basal ancestral annelid; move thru undulating movements; have parapodia, setae, specialized head in 2 parts
what are the names of the specialized head in Errantia? (2)
peristominum and prostomium
what are parapodia?
bristle bearing appendages for movement and respiration
what are setae?
bristles
what is peristomium?
bears pharynx (jaws, mouth) and sensory tentacles
what is prostomium?
bears sensory structures for touch, taste, vision
Class Sedentaria morphology characteristics
contain Clitellata which are Lumbricidae (earthworms) and Hirundinidae (leeches)
what animals are in Class Sedentaria?
feather duster and Xmas tree worms
Class Sedentaria characteristics
parapodia for feeding; burrowing or tube dwelling
Chaetopteridae characteristics
Secretes U-shaped parchment tube that it filters water thru w its parapodia
what animals are in Chaetopteridae?
parchment worm
Clitellata - family Lumbricidae characteristics
clitellum; 1st 4 segments make up head; monoecious
Clitellata - family Lumbricidae segment characteristics
1st segment = peristomium bears mouth; Prostomium -overhangs peristomium, no specialized sensory structures (atypical of annelids)
Clitellata - Family Hirudinidae characteristics
predacious fluid feeders; free-living or ectoparasitic; 2 suckers for movement and host adhesion; each segment divided into 1-5 parts
Platyhelminthes characteristics
bilateral, protostomes, triploblastic, monoecious, organized nervous system w cephalization; complex excretory system; parenchyma fills mesodermal space
what happens in excretory system of Platyhelminthes?
flame cells and tubules for waste removal; acoelomates
what is parenchyma?
muscle fibers and loose tissues
