Q

Infections from nemtoidea worms happen when they burrow into your skin or you consume the fertilized eggs. Give examples of each type

A
Intestinal roundworms (acaris)
- hatch in intestine -> blood -> lungs > tracea -> re-swallowed -> mature once back in intestine

Hookworms

More fused ganglia
- nerves going to mouth, appendages, esophagus, antennae glands

Median eyes and compound eyes

  • good at detecting motion + light
  • statocyst + tactile hairs
  • taste + smell
47
Q

Explain how crustaceans feed using the following structures:

Maxillipeds
Maxillae + mandibles
Claws + walking legs

A

Maxillipeds = hold food

Maxillae + mandibles = shred + put in mouth

Claws + walking legs = capture food

50
Q

What are some examples of why crustaceans are ecologically important

A

Food chain + plankton

  • krill, shrimp, copepods

Cleaner shrimp

Parasitic (tongue worms + fish louse)
Commercial - fisheries
