Forms later in development after mouth pore, forming from opening that arise within blocks of mesodermal tissue

A major lineage of protostomes that grow by shedding their external skeletons (molting) and expanding their bodies. Includes arthropods, insects, crustaceans, nematodes, and centipedes. Compare with Lophotrochozoans
Term
Locotrophozoan
Definition
A major lineage of protostomes that grow by extending the size of their skeletons rather than by molting. Many phyla have a specialized feeding structure lophophore and/or ciliated larvae (trocophore). Includes rotifers, flatworms, segmented worms, and mollusks. Compare with ecdysozoans
Term
Molting
Definition
A method of body growth, used by ecdysozoans, that involves the shedding of an external protective cuticle or skeleton, expansion of the soft body, and growth of a new external layer
Term
Exoskeleton vs cuticle
Definition
Exoskeleton is a hard covering secreted on the outside of the body, used for body support. Examples are the shell of mollusks and the outer covering (cuticle) of arthropods. Exoskeletons are HARD, cuticle is not
Term
Hemocoel
Definition
A body cavity, present in arthropods and some mollusks, containing a pool of circulatory fluid (hemolymph) bathing the internal organs.
Term
Foot (mollusks)
Definition
One of the three main parts of the mollusk body; a muscular appendage, used for movement and /or burrowing into sediment
Term
Visceral mass
Definition
One of the three main parts of the mollusk body; contains most of the internal organs and external gill
Term
Mantle
Definition
One of the three main parts of the mollusk body; the thick outer tissue that protects the visceral mass and may secrete a calcium carbonate shell
Term
Annelids (segmented worms)
Definition
Members of the phylum Annelida. Distinguished by a segmented body and a coelom that is a hydrostatic skeleton. Annelids belong to the LOPHOTROCHOZOAN branch of protostomes
Term
Priapulids (penis worms)
Definition
They burrow into the substrate and act as sit and wait predators. When a polychaete (Annelida) or other prey item approaches, the priapulid everts its toothed, cuticle-line throat and grabs the prey
Term
Nemerteans (ribbon worms)
Definition
Active predators that move around the ocean floor looking for food. Instead of everting throat, they have a proboscis that can extend or retract. They spear small animals with it or wrap it around prey, pulling the food into their mouth.
Term
Adaptation
Definition
Any heritable trait that increases the fitness(reproductive success) of an individual with that trait, compared with individuals without that trait, in a particular environment
Term
Siphon
Definition
A tubelike appendage of many mollusks, that is often used for feeding or propulsion
Term
Parthogenesis
Definition
Development of offspring from unfertilized eggs; a type of asexual reproduction
Term
Bivalves
Definition
A lineage of mollusks that have two shells, such as clams and mussels
Term
Gastropods
Definition
A lineage of mollusk distinguished by a large muscular foot and a unique feeding structure, the radula. Include slugs and snails
Term
Chitons
Definition
A lineage of marine mollusks that have a protective shell formed of eight calcium carbonate plates
Term
Cephalopods
Definition
A lineage of mollusks including the squid, octopuses, and nautiluses. Distinguished by large brains, excellent vision, tentacles, and a reduced or absent shell
Term
Flatworms
Definition
Members of the phylum Platyhelminthes. Flatworms belong to the lophotrochozoan branch of the protostomes. Distinguished by a broad, flat, unsegmented body that lacks a coelom.
Term
Definitive host
Definition
The host species in which a parasite reproduces sexually.
Term
Intermediate hosts
Definition
The host species in which a parasite reproduces asexually.
Term
Annelids
Definition
Members of the phylum Annelida (segmented worms). Distinguished by a segmented body and a coelom that is a hydrostatic skeleton. Annelids belong to the lophotrochozoan branch of the protostomes
Term
Chaetae
Definition
Bristle like extensions found in some annelids
Term

Definition
Appendages found in some annelids from which bristle like structures called chaetae extend
Term
Radula
Definition
A rasping feeding appendage in gastropods (snails, slugs)
