Lophotrochozoa tree
Bilateria - Protostomia - Lophotrochozoa - 2 branches
1- Mollusca s.g. to Nemertea and Annelida
2. Bryozoa s.g. to Rotifer and Platyhelminthes
Nemertea
previously proboscis/ribbon worm
soft-bodied, non-segmented, slight torso-ventral flattening, ciliated ventral surface, abundant mucous glands, apparent lack of secondary body cavity but coelomate
Nemertea are coelomates?
lateral blood vessels are shrunk down coelomic compartments
epithelial lining derived from mesoderm, face lumen of blood vessel
Nemertean digestion
tubular, one-way digestive tract with mouth and anus
Nemertea characteristics
1-way digestive tract
eucoelomic compartments- circulatory system
eversible proboscis
proboscis
eversible, enclosed in proboscis sac (rhynchocoel), dorsal to anterior part of gut
shot out of body through pore dorsal to mouth
wall of sac is mesodermally-derived, and wrapped in muscle
Nemertean habitat
mainly marine
few fresh, few terrestrial (low resistance to desiccation)
under rocks, burrow in sediment
Nemertean species
ca. 1200
Tubulanus polymorphus
local nemertean
can be over 1m long
thin, long body, easily torn
vivid orange color, conspicuous coloration = chemical
ejection of proboscis
circular muscles contract - fluid pressure in sac increases - proboscis shoots out - turns inside out
proboscis elaborations
some have calcified stylet and secrete neurotoxin
how does proboscis return to rhynchocoel
proboscis retractor muscle
Nemertea movement
mucco-ciliary gliding
muscular wave crawling and dorsoventral swimming
Lophophore
organ for capturing suspended food
circular/horseshoe-shaped fold of body wall that encircles mouth and bears ciliated tentacles
Lophophorates
former phylum that contained Bryozoans, Brachiopods, and Phoronids that all contain lophophore
convergence
Bryozoa habitat
marine, freshwater
attached to rocks, plants, animals, docks
marine Bryozoans
lophophore forms circle of tentacles with mouth in centre
Bryozoan characteristics
u-shaped digestive tract, anus outside lophophore
almost all colonial
various growth/body forms
Bryozoan body forms
erect, branching, flat, encrusting
individual bryozoan
zooids
freshwater bryozoans
horseshoe shaped lophophore
zooids secrete
zooecium exoskeleton
Bryozoan reproduction
sexual, asexual (budding)
zooecium material
chitinous
proteinaceous
calcareous
