Q

Circulation of Porifera

A
  • water enters in through pores, circulates throughout body
  • choanocytes trap and digest food
  • food absorbed and transported by amoebocytes

Q

Three Classes of Platyheminthes

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Tapeworms
  2. Planarians
  3. Flukes
21
Q

Flame Cell

Study These Flashcards
A

Removes waste to excretory pores. Found in playheminthes

22
Q

Life Cycle of a Liver Fluke

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Eggs pass out in human feces and enters snail
  2. Larva burrows into fish muscle
  3. Fish eaten by humans and larva grows to adult in bile duct
23
Q

Role of a Cyst in Endoparasites

Study These Flashcards
A

Calcium shell that protects parasite from being destroyed by host.

24
Q

How does a tapeworm attach to a host’s intestine?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • scolex attaches to host in intestine

- feeds on host’s digestive food

25
Nervous System of Platyheminthes
Ladder-like nervous system: anterior ganglia and eyespots (chemosensitive)
26
Life Cycle of a Tapeworm
1. Host eats fertilized egg | 2. Hatches in its intestine and produces proglottid that leaves through feces
27
Three Classes Of Phylum Mollusca
1. Bivalve 2. Gastropod 3. Cephlopod
28
Locomotion in Mollusca
1. Flat foot: Gastropod 2. Hatchet foot: Bivalve 3. Jet propulsion: Cephlopod
29
Radula
Found in cephlopods; calcified rasping organ used for feeding.
30
Mollusca Respiration
1. Gills | 2. Lung-like mantle (terrestrial gastropods)
31
Mollusca Reproduction
Separate sexes, produces trochophore larva (bivalves)
32
Mollusca Nervous Systems (3)
1. Brain and Nerves: cephlopods 2. Three Separate Ganglia: bivalves 3. Cerebral Ganglia (long nerve ending): gastropods
33
Bivalve Digestion
Filter feeders: water enters through incurrent siphon, which moves water in spout of individual
34
Three Classes of Annelida
1. Earthworms 2. Leeches 3. Marine worms
35
Nephridia
Excretory tube found in annelids
36
Parapodia
Paired appendage found in each segment of an annelid
37
Setae
Locomotive organ used to move through ground in annelids
38
Digestion in Annelids
- food enters through mouth by muscular movement - typhosole: digestion over large surface area - typhosole expands and contracts on dorsal surface of intestine
39
Circulation in Annelids
- closed circulatory system with five hearts - moves anteriorly over dorsal vessel - heart pumps blood through ventral blood vessel, branching off as it moves anteriorly, then posteriorly
40
Four Main Features of Arthropoda
1. Jointed Appendages 2. Exoskeleton of chitin 3. Three body regions 4. Well-developed nervous system
41
Features of the Head of Arthropoda
- compound eyes, 5 pairs of appendages | - 2 antennae 3 mouth parts
42
Features of the Thorax of Arthropoda
- 5 appendages: walking legs | - 1st appendage a claw
43
Features of the Abdomen of Arthropoda
- swimmerets | - last two segments have uropod and telson
44
Digestion of Arthropoda
- 2 part stomach | - green glands for waste excretion
45
Vascular System of Arthropoda
-heart pumps blood with hemocyanin into hemocoel
46
Reproduction of Arthropoda
- separate sexes - sperm transfer by first pair of swimmerets - ovaries open at base of third walking legs - eggs attach to swimmerets of female
47
General External Features of a Grasshopper (3)
- Head: compound eyes, antennae, mouthparts - Thorax: 3 pairs of legs, wings if present - Abdomen: contains internal organs
48
How is a grasshopper's reproduction adapted for terrestrial life? (4)
- internal fertilization (protected) - female has seminal receptacles which store sperm; keeps from drying out - female deposits eggs into ground
