Term

What is the function of the mantle in Molluscs?

Definition
Specialized tissue that secretes a shell.
Term
What does the visceral mask contain in molluscs?
Definition
Reproductive system, most of the digestive system structures, and the excretory system
Term
Describe how a squid moves.
Definition
Expels water from mantle cavity through a ventral funnel to quickly propel itself forward.  The funnel direction can be altered to all squid to change direction quickly.
Term

What are the three layers of mussels and clams (class bivalvia)?

Definition

Periostracum--outer layer

Prismatic--middle layer

Nacreous--inner layer

Term

What is the function of labial palps?

Definition
Manipulating lips--the region of the mouth used to bring food in.

Secretes mucus to hold mating earthworm's together.  Forms "cocoon" around earthworms during mating.
Term
What is probably the key evolutionary innovation responsible for the success of arthropods?
Definition
Jointed/chitinous exoskeleton.
Term
What is the significance of the phylum onychophora?
Definition
Displays characteristics intermediate in form between Annelida and Arthropoda, evolutionary link between the two phyla.
Term
What are some disadvantages of exoskeltons?
Definition
Limit size (must molt) and limited barrier to gas exchange.
Term
Define metamorphosis.
Definition
Dramatic change in body form that is post-embryonic.
