Term
5 classes of Mollusca
Definition
gastropoda(snails), bivalvia, cephalopoda, polyplacophora (chitin), scaphopoda (toothshell)
Term
Mollusca embryonic development
Definition
tripoblastic, protostome, schizocoelous, spiral cleavage, determinate cell fate, blastopore becomes mouth, coelom is reduced to paracardial coelom, trocophoric larvae
Term
general parts of Mollusca
Definition
head, mantle(mantle cavity contains gills), foot, visceral mass, rectum, pericardial cavity, valve, siphons, ligaments
Term
Mollusca skeletal support
Definition
soft bodied animals whose mantle sometimes secretes a shell
Term
Mollusca movement
Definition
foot/mantle is used for crawling, digging. cephalopods use jet propulsion. foot refractors are the small muscles in bivalves that open and shut the valves. large muscles are called adductors (anterior and posterior ones)
Term
Mollusca nervous system
Definition
paired ventral(enervates the foot) and dorsal(other organs) nerve cord. also have optional eyes, osphradia, statocysts, chemoreceptors, tactile organs
Term
Mollusca digestion
Definition
muscular and regionalized, anus opens into mantle cavity. sometimes contains a chitinous tooth structure called a radula
Term
Mollusa excretion
Definition
nephridial kidneys, pericardial coelom collects waste by filtering through heart wall
Term
Mollusca circulation
Definition
mostly open. except cephalopods have a closed system with a 3 chambered heart
Term
Mollusca respiration
Definition
lungs or gills..dur
Term
Class Gastropoda
Definition
snails, limpits, conchs, whelks, nudibranchs; can be univalve; feeding by radula, torsion of body for protection;
Term
subclasses of Gastropoda
Definition
Prosobranchia - halve shells, opisthobranchia - nudibranchs, pulmonata - terrestrial snails and slugs
Term
Torsion of Gastropoda bodies
Definition
for protection, loss of gill in nudibranchs to prevent soiling, coiling of shell in others
Term
types of coiling of gastropod shells
Definition
planospiral: cinamon buns coiling in single planes, conispiral: tapering affect in 2 planes; coiling is dextral or sinistral; apex is the oldest part of the shell
Term
Class Bivalvia
Definition
clams, oysters, scallops, muscles; laterally compressed, umbo = oldest part of shell. muscles are called adductor muscles, filter feeders (no head or radula), labial palps move food off gills to mouth, water flow through siphons. so gills are for respiration and feeding
Term
siphons
Definition
in bivalvia. ventral incurrent siphon water enters, then out through dorsal excurrent siphon. papillae are associated with the incurrent siphon
Term
Class Cephalopoda
Definition
closed circulatory system; predacious beak and radula; chromatophores, various shells; squids have spermatophore, no trcophoric larvae;
Term
various shells of cephalopoda
Definition
nautilis: heavy shell with internal chambers, squid: reduced to horny chitinous strip called a pen, cuttlefish: reduced to cuddlefish bone, octopus: lacks shell completely
Term
Class Polyplacophora
Definition
chitons; usually 8 plates for flexibility; dorso-ventrally flat; radula for algae feeders
Term
Class Scaphopoda
Definition
tusk or tooth shell, mostly sedimentary, bury with their foot, cilia and foot pumps water
Term
bivalvia directions
Definition
blunt end is anterior. siphons protrude from the posterior
Term
hinge ligament
Definition
connects the two valves in the back of the bivalve
Term
labial palps in bivalves
Definition
move food off gills into mouth
