Head/brain organizes it
And in other animals - no brain per say at all
Thirdly - type of gun - gut is just a stumach and related features
In some animals this is a blind sac - tube from outside going in but nothing exiting
no anus or intesstines
In ather groups
Clearly mouth and tube going to stumach and intestines going out to anus
Presence or absence of a body cavity (coelum)
Segmentation weather body is put together in segments or not
Feature that comes up later
Hydra - radial symmetry, slice it down and put mirror to place where you made slice
and with reflection - look like entire animal
Body cavity
If there is one or not
Idea of what we mean - think about ourselves
Lower right - look at cross section through this guy running
See there are organs inside but also body cavity
Stumach is sitting in a cavity, space between it and the walls - abdominal walls
This space is lined with tissue
It has a body cavity, we have a body cavity
Flatworm - see it has a gut, just like we would have, but there is no space between
outside and the wall - body wall of the animal
Just solit tissue
Filter feeding
Collar cells - flagella - to move water
Loose association of cells
Take a living sponge and break it apart into little pieces
Those pieces assemble themselves into sponge shape
Reproduces sexually produce a swimming larval stage
Also reproduces sexually
Water come in through sponge through sides and move out through top
For that to be accomplished - current thats set up inside sponge to get water to
move in that direction
Set up by collar cells
One collar cell in lower right hand corner
Has flagellum
This flagellum can eat and as it does so - in concert with other cells - ores in water
and get current flowing in sponge
Another thing you can see - there are little pores - openings where water can come
in
Another tihng you notice - glass like structures
Made of silica - same thing glass is made of
Gives sponge regidity
Same glass like structures that make sponges useful for cleaning things in kitchen
Sponges we made now aways are synthetic sponges
In old days - dead bodies of sponges
Those dead bodies are stiff and spicules in it that give the sponge a scowering
capability
Not sharp but rough so you can use that to scrape things off plates
Corals on left
Think of corals and corals reef - looking at dead corals
Secrete calcuim corbinate skeleton and other corals come in and makes reefs
Living coral hass skeleton and things inside that looks like anemanies
Come out openings in skeletons and do filter feeding
Also have photosynthetic organisms mutually associated with them
Provies food and places to live
Free living things that consist of stalk and tentacles on top
Polyp phase
Anemane phase - bottom of polyp on subsstrate - easy pray for starfish
Starfish approaching sea anemane
Interesting behavior - sense they are attacked - release from substrate and go
tumbling through water to get away from
Slinky like moving away from predator
Hydra - polyp
Many also have medusa stage as well
In picture on left
Polyp attached to a substrate - aquatic plant here - tenticles above
Aquatic organism - speared by tentacle of ydra
Lower right - that little organism - placed in gut of the hydra and digested
Many are parasites - many parasites are complex life cycles - live in several
different host sspiecies and move from one to another
Human parasites Blood fluke produces disease called schistosomiasis - common in asian and tropical
areas
Life cycle - complex life cycle
Lives in several different hosts - human and snail
Follow life cycle
Transmission occur in rice paty
Aquatic environment
Blood fluke inside human and produces eggs
Found in human feces and into rice patty and hatch and become swimming larva
and finds its way into snail
Reproduces asexually inside snail and another larva with fork feature
Finds foot of human working in rice patty
Burrow in and get inside human and repeat itself
Flukes in system takes tool on immune system and many organs that are effected
and not good disease at all
Nematodes - roundworms
Bilateral symmetry
Complete digestive tract
Mouth and anus
Pseudocoelum - has gut cavity
Have an opening there - between gut and outside wall but cavity not lined with
tissue not true coelum
Very abundant
Get a scoop of soil - find thousands of them
Very small
Go into pond pick up handful thousands of these living in there
Most free living scavengers
Make living picking up bits of organic material
Some are human parasites
Mean by mantle
Some cases - mantle encloses gills and other structures
Other thing - fleshy foot
Grey thing at bottom - snail - fleshy foot - very apparent
Rasplike radula on mouth of animal
Inset picture shows it
Looks like a rasp
Used to scrape algae off rocks to eat them
Sub groups
Chitons - green animals
Segmented shell
8 segments
Go to rock and move slowly over surface using radula to graze on algae
Two cyphens for bringing in water - why they are called bivalves
Lower right hand side - water flows in over gill structer gas exchange and particle
filter
Water is sent out through a different cyphen and cycle repeates
In bivalve mantle again
Extensive one and another thing is fleshy foot
Bivalve uses fleshy foot - opens shell and sticks foot out to anchor or dig itself in
substrate
Siphon - lower left - animal moves by taking in water through siphon and shoot out
water in stream
Means animal moves backwards
Animals have jet propulsion to move through water
Have a closed circulator system
Means blood contained in vessles - like humans
Other kinds of animals - other molluscs don't have in vessels - just sloshes and
moves in passive ways
Well developed nervous systems
Complex brains
Octopi - solve wayss to get out - got out - smart animals
Annelids - earthworms, polychaetes, leeches
Annelids - little rings
Segmented
Very flexible
Move freely
Has appendages
Many live in ocean
Many freshwater habitats have them as well
Moist soil
Earthworms
Polychaetes - marine worms
Live in tube
Filter feeders
See top portion here stick out move around in water, frilly stuff pick up particless
that it would filter out organic material and consume that
Mostly freshwater
Some on land
Some of these blood sucking parasites
Leech before feed and how swelled up it gets after feeding
Latch onto someone in water
Take blood meal and drop off
Doesn't sound good thing for humans
And are parasites
Arthropod characteristics
Joined appendages
Pod - foot or leg
Arthro - hasz to do with joins
Jointed legs/ appendages
Allowed movement
Legs, wings, antennae - move with joins
Exoskeleton - hard - covering
Made of chiten - material found in cell wall of fungi
Type of carbohydrate
Exoskeleton provides protection for soft body of animal inside and prevents water
loss - keeps tissues from drying out
Segmentation
Segments are fused into big blocks
Head portion, thorax or chest
And see theres the abdomin
Legs on lobster and places where legs jointed
Jointed appendenches
Pinchers on lobster joined
On head region
More than one pair of eyes
Lots of sensory input
Antanae determine chemicals in environment
Well represented in ocean when we had mass extinction and all trilobites died out
Lot of fossils
Segments
Not much specialization
Each of segments in underside picture - each had same kind of leg structure
Joined leg
Compound eyes
Pretty good at seeing in environment
Include lobsters
Crayfish
Lot like lobsteres but live on land
Craps, shrump
Shrimp in lower left hand
On top of coral
Barnacles - jointed appendages
Crustacheans Lobsters, crabs, barnacles, pillbugs
Most marine
Hard exoskeleton (referred to as crust)
Gives name crutacean
Multiple branched appendages that are specialized
Pillbugs - mostly marine and out into a backyard and under rock - roll themselves in
ball to escape predators
Copepods - these are very small, numberous
Zooplankton
Things that eat phytoplankton
Abundant in aquatic systems
Large, marine, crayfish not marine - live on land although in damp areas
Groups that live in ocean - planktonic larvae - as krill
Things that produced by millions and very large whale - use as food source and
penguines use as food source
Phyla - duterostomes -
Phylum echinoderms
Sea star
Regeneration of body parts - chop off arm - can grow new arm back
Surface of animal covered in spines
Sea stars - 5 arms, predatory animals on shelled animals, clams and can move over
to where clam is attached
Grab clam and use tube feet to attach on shell apply pressure to slightly open shell
Take their stumach and invert it - put it out through mouth and into crack of clam
and start digesting clam
Digest muscle tissue and opens up and eats rest
Moves around on tube feet
Go out to ocean - intertidal or subtidal
See them - don't look like they move much
Camera and set it up and go for 24-48 hours
Sea urchins - long spines - protect it from predators - two feet to move around
No arms like sea stars
Sand dollars in this group
Endoskeleton of sand dollar
