The Invertebrates Flashcards
(96 cards)
ctenophores
-comb jellies
-all marine
-not true jellyfish
-8 rows of cilia are used to move
-2 sticky tentacles without stinging cells
-1st complete gut
complete gut
-includes mouth, gastrovascular cavity and2 anal glands
-allows digestion of bigger pieces
porifera
-the sponges
-name means pore bearers
-lack true tissues
-no symmetry
-adults are sessile and larvae free swimming
spongocoel
-central cavity of the sponge
-water is drawn in through pores, filtered, then into spongocoel, then out the osculum
osculum
-hole at top of the sponge
-water leaves through this
choanocytes
-line the spongocoel
-trap and eat small particles and plankton
mesohyl
-between the choanocytes and the epidermis of the sponge
amoebocytes
-absorb food from choanocytes, digest it, and carries the nutrients to other cells
spicules
-skeletal fibers or spongin for support in sponges
-some species produce defensive chemicals
sexual reproduction of sponges
-most are hermaphrodites producing both eggs and sperm
-sperm is released in water to fertilize eggs in mesophyll of nearby sponges
asexual reproduction of sponges
-small fragment may detach and form a new sponge
cnidarian
-jellyfish and other radially symmetric organisms
-jellyfish, hydra, sea anemones, and corals
cnidaria body forms (2)
sessile polyp and motile medusa
sessile polyp
-tubular body with tentacles
-opening that serves as mouth and anus
-bottom is attached to substrate
motile medusa
-umbrella shaped body
-mouth on underside surrounded by tentacles
-have ocelli that are light sensitive
4 cnidarian classes
hydrozoa, scyphozoan, Anthozoa, cubozoan
hydrozoa
-blue bottle, hydra, some corals
-marine
-polyp stage
scyphozoan
-jellyfish
-marine
-medusa stage dominant and large
anthozoa
-sea anemones, sea fans, most corals
-marine
-polyp stage dominant
cubozoa
-box jellyfish
-marine
-medusa stage dominant
-box shaped
cnidocytes
-stinging cell
-contain nematocytes
stinging cells
-function in defense or prey capture
-hairlike trigger (called cnidocil)
Lophotrochozoa
-invertebrate clade
-lophophore means crown of ciliated tentacles
-bryozoans, brachiopods, mollusks, annelids
-trochophore larval stage
bryozoans
-phylum of simple aquatic invertebrates
-live in sedentary colonies
-use lophophore to filter feed
