Term
how are platyhelminthes recognized?
Definition
called flatworms, they have a dorsoventrally flattened body.
Term
triploblastic
Definition
organisms that have a third major tissue layer, the mesoderm, that develops between the embryological ectoderm and endoderm.
Term
describe platyhelminthes
Definition
-flattened bodies
-triploblastic
-have a recognizable head and tail
-bilaterally symmetrical
-lack a body cavity...acoelomates
-well developed nervous, excretory, muscular, and digestive systems
-have the organ-system level of complexity
-incomplete digestive tract because only has one opening for both mouth and anus
-some parasitic organisms live in their hosts' gut and absorb their nutrients; these organisms compeltely lack a digestive tract
Term
acoelomates
Definition
organisms that lack a body cavity between the gut and the outer body wall
Term
the three classes of platyhelminthes we'll look at?
Definition
-turbellaria
-trematoda
-cestoda
Term
describe turbellaria
Definition
-free living
-ventral mouth (usually)
-undivided body
-no larval stage; direct development
Term
describe trematoda
Definition
-parasitic
-usually anterior mouth
-undivided body
-one or more suckers for attachment within their host
Term
describe cestoda
Definition
-internal parasites; most inhabit the body of a vertebrate during some point of their life cycle
-no digestive tract in adults
-body usually divided into segments each of which contains a compelte reproductive system
-usually have an anterior scolex for attachment
Term
an example of turbellaria
Definition
-planarians are a type
-move by ciliary-nucus mechanism
-ventral side covered by cilia
-have small glands that secrete a mucus lubricant that helps them glide
Term
epidermis
Definition
covers the outside of the body of planarians. it is composed of cuboidal cells and interspersed unicellular glands secreting mucus or adhesives.
Term
gastrodermis
Definition
the large columnar cells that line the gut. these are derivevd from endoderm
Term
what is the tissue between the gastrodermis and muscle layers filled with?
Definition
parenchyma
Term
what are flukes a type of?
Definition
trematoda
Term
describe flukes
Definition
have at least one sucker surrounding their mouth which keeps them from losing their position within their host. they have a tough epidermis that keeps them from being digested by their host. some have larval stages where they live in one or more species of intermediate host and an adult stage in a different species. they have a two-branched intestine.
Term
what in trematodes leads to an intestine?
Definition
a muscular pharynx and a short esophagus lead to a two-branched intestine.
Term
uterus
Definition
a dark-staining structure that spread through most of the bosy of a trematode just posterior to the ventral sucker.
Term
where is the ovary in trematodes?
Definition
the single ovary is near the midline of the body and just posterior to the uterus.
Term
how do ova pass in trematodes?
Definition
ova pass from the ovary, through the uterus and exit through a small genital pore anterior to the ventral sucker.
Term
where are testes in trematodes?
Definition
the testes spread throughout most of the posterior one-fourth of the body posterior to the ovary. ducts lead from the testes to the genital pore.
Term
trematodes can be of what sex?
Definition
they are hermaphrodites but most cross-fertilize so that the sperm of one fertilizes the ova of another.
Term
common name for class cestoda?
Definition
tapeworms
Term
where do cestoda live?
Definition
adults live in the digestive tract of some vertebrae (definitive host) while the larva lives in the tissues of some other animal(the intermediate host), the definitive host feeds on the intermediate host, ingesting the tapeworm's larva.
Term
scolex
Definition
knob-like segment of a tapeworm that bears suckers and hooks to hold on to.
Term
proglottids
Definition
the segments of tapeworms which form the transverse budding in the neck region which contain flame cells, longitudinal nerve cords, and reproduction. the male reproductive organs mature first. the proglottids are eventually released from the digestive tract through the feces.
Term
flame cells
Definition
organs of excretion, held by the proglottids
Term
longitudinal nerve cords
Definition
nervous system
Term
sperm duct
Definition
carries the sperm from the testes to the genital pore near the center of the proglottid
Term
describe nematoda
Definition
-commonly called round worms because of their nearly-circular cross section
-have a complete digestive tract
-one of their major adaptations is their cuticle, excreted by the epidermis
Term
why are the cross sections of nematodes circular?
Definition
because they hold in so much pressure that their sides bulge in all directions
-some are freeliving while some are parasitic
-bilaterally symmetric and tripoblastic
Term
pseudocoel
Definition
the cavity found in a tube within a tube body form. it is found between the wall of the gut and the body wall. it functions in the circulation and distribution of material throughout the body and as a hydrostatic skeleton functioning in locomotion.
Term
compelte digestive tract
Definition
there is an anus separate from a mouth and food travels through a tract in only one direction.
Term
seminal vessel
Definition
leads to the ejaculatory duct. the testis leads to a sperm duct which leads to the seminal vessel which leads to the ejaculatory duct which leads to the genital pore.
Term
describe annelida
Definition
-commonly referred to as segmented worms because their bodies are divided both internally and externally into similar segments.
-the margins of segments are often marked by small grooves, annuli
-septa are the walls that separate segments
-they are bilaterally symmetrical, tripoblastic protosomes with compelte digestive tracts and closed circulatory systems
-most have small bristles called setae that function in locomotion or in holding the animal in place
-annelida has three classes: polychaeta, oligochaeta, and hirudinea
Term
describe oligochaeta
Definition
-have a collar called a clitellum
-secretes a cocoon tht protects the eggs until they hatch.
-prostomium overhags the mouth at the anterior
-has male and female genital pores
-seminal recepticles have openings
-hermaphroditic but not self-fertilizing
-have a coelum that contains organs and is divided by septa
-typhosole is a tissue that extends into the gut from the dorsal side
-the pharynx leads to the esophagus which is sorta hidden by whitish seminal vesicles
-esophagus leads to the think-walled crop which connectrs to the thick-walled gizzard
-cerebral ganglia= the brain
-circumpharyngeal connectives meet at the supharyngeal ganglion just beneath the pharynx.
-ventral nerve cord= two cords fused together
-dorsal blood vessel connects with five pairs of pumping vessels which conect to the esophagus to form the ventral blood vessel
-nephridia are in each segment to filter waste from the coelomic fluid and transfer it to the nepridiopores
Term
describe class poloychaeta
Definition
-largest number of species of annelids
-most are marine and live in burrows
-"feather duster" tube worms are in this class
-setae are located on paddle-like parapodia
Term
describe class hirundinea
Definition
-leeches are an example of hirundinea
-leeches have suckers used for attachment
