Cards

Term
Type of circulatory system in Mollusca
Definition
Open circulatory system
Term
peritoneum
Definition
fat storage lining in a coelom
Term
Parasitic Nematodes
Definition
Class Phasmidia
Term
pelagosphera
Definition

later larval stage of Sipunculida

 

Term
Mollusc characteristic unique to Scaphopods
Definition
Unlike other molluscs, Scaphopods do not have gills
Term
ciliated crown of Rotifera
Definition
corona
Term
In shelled molluscs, forms the shell and adds to it to increase strength and size as the animal grows
Definition
Mantle
Term
Radula
Definition

Used for scraping, cutting, and chewing food

 

Unique to molluscs

 

Not present in Pelecypoda (bivalves)

Term
Osphradia
Definition
chemosensory structure that is located in the mantle cavity of molluscs only
Term
Characteristics of interstitial animals
Definition

Few large eggs

 

Cilia

 

 Complete digestive tract

Term
Necator
Definition

Hookworm

 

Human parasitic nematode

 

Obtained by walking on infected soil

 

 

Term
Enterobius
Definition

Pinworm

 

Human parasitic nematode

 

 Contracted by hand contact with infected person

Term
Trichanella
Definition

 

Human parasitic nematode

 

Contracted by eating poorly cooked pork

Term
Dirofilaria
Definition

Heartworm

 

Dog parasitic nematode

 

Transmitted by mosquitos

Term

Ascaris

 

 

Definition

Pig roundworm

 

Parasitic nematode of pigs, man, and grazing animals

Term
Wucheria
Definition

 

Human parasitic nematode

 

Found in lypmh glands and bloodstream

 

Mosquitos are secondary hosts

Term
Class Bdelloidea
Definition

Rotifer that is parthenogenetic: only mictic and amictic females

 

Females produce 2N eggs

 

Live in puddles that dry up

Term
Life cycle of Rotifers under good conditions
Definition

Amictic female -> mitosis -> 2N egg -> hatches

 

-> amictic female

Term
Life cycle of Rotifers under bad conditions
Definition
Mictic female -> meiosis -> mictic egg -> male (fertilizes 1N egg) -> zygote -> 2N resting egg (until stimulus provides good conditions)
Term
Phylum Acanthocephala (parasitic cycle)
Definition

Parasites requiring 2 hosts

 

larvae found in insects or crustaceans (secondary hosts)

 

Adults within verbrate digestive tracts (mostly fish) (primary hosts)

Term
Phylum Nematomorpha: life cycle
Definition

"horsehair worms"

 

 Adults mate in knots, then die -> eggs in water -> taken up by insect or larva penetrates insect (secondary host) -> absorb food -> emerge from hosts -> adults found in arthropods (primary host)

Term
Suborder Paleoheterdonta (Order Heterodonta)
Definition
Glochidium parasitic veliger on fish gills
Term
Mesozoans
Definition
Parasitic on octopuses and other marine invertebrates
Term
Feeding mode of Nemertea
Definition
Proboscis
Term
Feeding mode of Polyplacophora
Definition
Grazes on algae
Term
Feeding mode of Scaphopods
Definition
Captures forams and crushes them
Term
Phylum Nematomorpha: body plan
Definition

Simple cuticle

 

Pseudocoel

Term
Function of a hydrostatic skeleton
Definition
Provides body support
Term
Function of chromatophores
Definition
Color change
Term
Function of periostracum
Definition
Protection of shells of molluscs
Term
Phylum Gastrochicha (interstitial)
Definition

No psuedocoel

 

protrandric hermaphrodites: start out male, end up female

 

Live in ephemeral habitats (pools that dry up - "here today, gone tomorrow")

 

Monociliated cells for gliding

Term

Phylum Kinoryncha (interstitial)

Definition

 

Siphuncle present: secretes gases and regulates buoyancy

 

Simple sutures

Term
Ammonoidea
Definition

Complex sutures

 

No siphuncle

Term
Feeding mode of Pripulida
Definition
Prey falls into pit and is eaten
Term
Phylum Nemertea (body plan)
Definition

Ciliated epidermis

 

No cuticle and aceolomate

 

Gonads in pouches that burst (pilidium)

 

Complete digestive tract

 

Closed circulatory system

Term
pelagosphere

Definition
Live only in stagnant mud
Term
Class Polyplacophora
Definition

Strong radula

 

Tough mantle

Term
Characteristic unique to Monoplacaphorans
