metamorphosis hydra = none (others

turbellaria (direct), trema. &
cestodes. complicated life
cycles (indirect)
none (direct in oligo
& hirudinia) larva forms
(indirrect) in polycheat.
indirect in most, larvae very
similar to annelid larva.
Direct in ceph & land forms.
Crayfish direct but other
crustaceans have larval stages.
Exoskeleton constraints.
varies- some direct, others
indirect. Exoskeleton
requires molting.
indirect. Plueteus larvae
in urchins (bilateral
symmetry).
direct
metamerism none some internally very evident only in 1 genus yes yes yes, repetition gonads, etc. yes
coelom none none very evident very reduced, small
around the heart,
kidneys & gonads.
reduced coelom reduced coelom huge - subdivided:
water-vascular system
system & perivisceral
yes - divided into
several cavities:
abdomenal/thoracic
skeletal none to hard CaCO3
skeleton (corals)
Mesoglea
none, trema/cestodes w/
hardened integument
(to resist digestion)
fluid filled
hydroskeleton
none, external shell in most.
Ceph. lack shell except
Nautilus.
body = head, thorax and
abdomen. Chitinous exosk..
body = head, thorax and
abdomen. Chitinous exosk.
endoskeleton (CaCO3)
plates, epidermis on
top.
endoskeleton -cart.
and calcified
cephalization none yes, eye spots, yes, suprapharyngeal
ganglion
minimal in bivalves
extensive ceph.
lots lots- complex social
patterns
none yes
nervous diffuse nerve net &
sensory cells
nerve ladder, eye
spots (reduced sensory
in parasites)

gastrodermis secrete
digestive enzymes =
extracellular digest.

cells phagocytose
food (intracellular)
turb. - pharynx extend.
enzymes released, extra and
intracellular (food vacuoles),
branched GVC, parasites -
trematodes similar digestion
(mostly) cestoda - no
digestive system (absorption
from host)
GI tube with
typhlosole, enzymes
secreted. External
digestion.
clam-cilia on ctenidia
create current, food trapped on
ctendia. Mucus secretions help
cilia beat food to mouth.
Food enters stomach,
digestive glands secrete
enzymes. Wastes empty out the
anus into excurrent siphon.
chela used in offense & defense,
mandibles & maxillipeds force
food in mouth- to esophagus to-
anterior (cardiac chamber) where
it is ground by teeth of gastric
mill. To pyloric chamber then to
intestine and out the anus.
Digestive gland secretes enzymes
& stores glycogen.
Cockroach takes food in &
some fragmentation with
mandibles. Stored in crop,
proventriculus (gizzard)
grinds food. Gastic cacae
secrete digestive enzymes.
Malphigian tubules empty
wastes into hindgut (colon)
andout anus w/ feces
Starfish -feed on clams,
etc. Capture prey with
tube feet, slowly open
clam. Evert cardiac
stomach - secretes
muscus & digestive
enzymes (from hepatic
caeca). Food taken in
to cardia/pyloric stom.
review lectures.
circulatory none - diffusion none closed Open, except ceph. which have
systemic and branchial hearts.
Open. Sinuses
for nuturient/gas exchange.
Open. Sinuses for
nuturient/gas exchange.
water-vascular system
& ceolomic fluid.
Closed system. Varying
#’s of chambers.
respiratory
syster &
pigment
none none Use skin (gills) &
dissolved hemoglobin
ctenidia in most, land snails
vascularize mantle cavity (lung).
Hemacyanin (some hemoglobin)
gills for gas exchange.
Hemacyanin.
spiracles/tracheoles
None.
Coelom extends into
dermal branchia. Some
across tube feet. No pigment.
gills/lungs
hemoglobin/myoglobin
excretory none - diffusion turb. - protonephridia
with flame cells
nephridea removes
waste from coelom &
blood, usually 1/somite
nephridia (variable
#) remove wastes
green gland malpighian tubules
empty into digest.

Osmoconformers.-No
special system. Wastes

organs
Hydras - monoecious,
other cnidarians di.
Testis - sperm, ovary
-egg (not true organs)
monoecious, fertilization
internal. Ovary/testis
and complicated in
cestoda
monoecious & direct
in oligo & hirudinia.
Cross fertilization.
Diecious and indirect
in polycheate.
dioecious (a few = mono in land
snails). Indirect development
in all except ceph. and
pulmonata (land snails).
dioecious. Direct
fertilization internal (sperm
stored in sperm receptacle).
diocious.
fert. is internal.
Dioecious. External
fertilization. Indirect
development. Deutero.
like chordates.
dioecious. External
and internal
fertilization. Think of
classes.
asexual cycle budding, fission and budding (some)
some parthenogenesis, like
most parastic forms
some oligo & polycheates
capable of budding &
fission (mostly aquatic)
none none (regeneration of limbs) parthenogenesis. Most regenerate parts &
some an entire organism.
Rare groups parthen.,
some change sex.
locomotion tumbling, some
psuedopod extension
of basal disk cells
gas bubble
ciliated ventral surface
in turb., some muscular
movement. Parasitic use larval
and intermed. hosts.
setae (earthworm)
& hydroskeleton.
usually slow moving
via the foot or cilia &
mucus. Ceph. fast via jet
propulsion.
exoskeleton with
jointed appendages
variable locomotion
exoskeleton with
