molting ecdysis
flexible yet tough cuticle requires molting in order to grow, but also provides protection while being thinner and lighter than mineral skeleton
how times does annelids molt before maturing
4 times
what does molting often include in nematoda
metamorphosis
what does metamorphosis allow for nematoda to have
separate body plans in juveniles and adults
are nematoda tripoblastic bilateria
yes
what is pseudocoel a remnant of
blastocoel
pseudocoelmates
a body cavity (psedocoel or coelom)
space for development of organ systems
simple means of circulating materials around the body
a hydrostatic skelton
hydrostatic skeleton
fluid filled cavity is a more rigid structure for muscles to act against than the tissue filled body of an acoelomate
do most pseudocoelmates have a complete digestive tract
yes
Phylum Nematoda characteristics
roundworms 25,000 species marine, freshwater, wet soils, inside plants, and animals unsegmented, pseudocoelmate, protosome, tribloblastic, bilaterians vermirorm body posses a complete gut cuticle that molts ubiquitous and abundant
vermifrom
worm like
do nematodes have a complete, one-way digestive tract
yes
what percentage of Phylum Nematoda is parastic
50%
is Phylum Nematoda an important group of parasites
yes
Phylum Nematoda form & functions
collagenous cuticles, secreted by hypodermis
4 juvenile stages, serparated by molts
mesoderm develops into muscle bundles around outside wall of body (longitudinal only, no circular)
degestive tract
dorsal and ventral nerve cords
nerve cords connected to circular ganglion (simple brain) around pharynx
digestive tract of Phylum Nematode
mouth > pharynx > intestine > rectum > anus
where does mesoderm develop into muscles bundles
around outside wall of body
how do muscles work in Phylum Nematoda
muscles sends out processes to dorsal and ventral nerves cords
how are muscles connected in Phylum Nematoda
connected not by nerves but by evaginations of muscles themselves
where do nerve cord connect in Phylum Nematoda
to circular ganglion (simple brain) around pharynx
Phylum Nematoda response to stimuli
fluid in pseudocoelom under high pressure
inelastic cuticle
these form a hydrostatic skeleton
only longitudinal muscles
contract muscles on one half of body then the other
can only bend in dorsal or ventral direction
what causes roundness in Phylum Nematoda
high pressure, cuticle contains pressure, can use pressure as a hydrostatic skeleton
can Phylum Nematoda move without a substrate
no
Phylum Nematoda energy transformation
pharynx opens into complete digestive tract, unidirectional processing of food
first animal we’ve really looked at that has a true one way digestive system
pharynx needed to pump food into digestive system because of that high internal pressure
anus opens using dilator muscles, pressure pushes contents out
may have “teeth” or stylet to puncture cells, depending on diet
