phylum platyhelminthes
flatworms
phylum nematoda
round worms
Platyhelminthes and nematoda
- both are freshwater
- have a cellular mesoderm with an ectoderm and endoderm
- bilaterally symmetrical
acoelomate
mesoderm is a solid mass of tissue with no cavity and no cavity for internal organs
pseudocoelomates
have a body cavity called a pseudocoelom with a fluid space and a digestive tract
flatworms are
acoelomate
nematodes are
pseudocoelomates
coelomate
have major organs suspended in a coelomic cavity completely surrounded by mesoderm
triploblastic
have three embryological germ layers
flatworms and roundworms have germ layers…
triploblastic
flatworms and roundworms have ___ symmetry
bilateral symmetry with a distinct anterior and posterior end
draw the body plants for flatworms and roundworms
there is a diagram
Platyhelminthes
- have a gastrovascular cavity that is both mouth and anus (one opening)
- ladder like 2 spinal chords advanced nervous system
- are flat
- free living ones have ocelli called eyespots
- monoecious??
class turbellaria
are hemaphroditic (have both fem and male organs) and are scavengers
- have eyespots that can sense light
- have a ciliated ventral surface
- mouth and anus are at the end of pharynx with intestinal diverticuli
(Platyhelminthes)
species planaria (dugesia)
- free living
has sensory organs called eyespots and feed by sucking through a tubular pharynx that protrudes
class trematoda
- parasites (both end and ecto)
- called flukes
- lack an epidermis but have a epicuticle made of protein and lipids to stop digestion
- ventral surface has an oral sucker
- often require intermediate hosts to distribute
Platyhelminthes
species opisthorchis
from Trematoda
- found in fish and snails
- more clear inside
species fasciola
sucks blood (liver fluke)
- from trematoda
- uterus is near mouth, has a weird line through the middle
NOT LEECHES
species shistosoma
FROM TREMATODA (blood fluke) causes disease schistosomiasis - inhabits veins - is hermaphrodic THE FEMALE FITS INSIDE THE CAVITY TO LAY THE EGGs
intermediate host
harbours immature stages of parasite
definitive host
harbours mature parasite
class cestoda
Platyhelminthes
- anterior end called scolex, then neck then proglottids
- don’t have a gastrovascular cavity as nutrients come from host
- endoparasite
- mature packets called proglottids will detach and make larvae
NEMATODA
- very diverse
are slender with pseudocoelom and complete digestive tract - use hydrostatic pressure to move
- complete GI tract with a mouth an anus
- can be free living and parasitic
- cause disease in humans like elephantiasis
- don’t require multiple hosts to survive
species ascaris
nematoda
- have a hooked posterior end (anus)
- males are smaller
- to survive, they must pass through GI tract and have thick cuticle
