  2. Nemotoda (Roundworms)
  3. Annelida (Segmented Worms)
Term

Definition
  1. Bilateral Symmetry
  2. All are invertebrates
  3. All have cephelazation on anterior end (towards head)
  4. All have organs and organ systems
Term
Give an example and 4 characteristics of Platyhelminthes
Definition

Class Tubellaria and examle Planaria

  1. Habitat: Freshwater
  2. Dorsal and Ventral sides
  3. gas exchange through cell surface
  4. regeneration!

Definition
Regeneration
Term
Identify 3 specific body parts in the Planarian below (example of a platyhelminthes)
Definition
  1. Eyespots to detect color
  2. Only 1 body opening - ventral mouth
  3. Feed through pharnxy tube from mouth

[image]

Term
How do Planarians move? (remember, Planarian is a class of Phylum Platyhelminthes or flatworms)
Definition
move through secreted mucus and using cillia on surface of body
Term
What are the two characteristics of class Trematoda (flukes, a class of phylum Platyhelminthes)
Definition
  1. Males thick and blue, Females are thin and clear
  2. Parasitic: 
    1. enter bloodstream of host  from contaminated water in tropic/subtropic areas while in larva stage
    2. lay eggs in host
    3. Host symptons include diarrhea, inflammation, and hemorrhage
Term

What are these examples of?

Phylum Platyhelminthes, Class FLUKES!
Term
What are the 4 characteristics of Class Cestoda (Tapeworms)?
Definition
    1. Parasites
    2. no mouth or digestive tract
    3. absorb material through their body surface
    4. infest intestinal lining and other organs of vertebrates
Term

Term
What are 4 characteristics of Phylum Nemotoda (roundworms)?
Definition
  1. Pseudocoelmates
  2. Hookworm
  3. Heartworm in dogs
  4. All Parasitic
Term

Definition
  1. Class Oligocheate
  2. Examples: Earthworms and Giant Blue Earthworm
  3. Noctural
  4. Setae-Bristles
  5. Oxygen by diffusion through skin
  6. Crop: Holds Soil
  7. Gizzard: Grinds Soil before passing through intestine
  8. Heart:really 5 chambered enlarged blood vessels
  9. Hermaphrodites (male and female parts)
Term
What are the 6 characteristics of Phlyum Arthropoda?
Definition
  1. Invertebrate
  2. Bilateral Symmetry
  3. Segmented Body
  4. Coelom - true body cavity
  5. Exoskeleton (chitin)
  6. Appendages (legs and antenna)
Term
What are the 4 subphlya of Phylum Arthropods?
Definition
  1. Uniramia (mosquito, centipede, bee, moth)
  2. Chelicerata (spiders)
  3. Crustecea (water fle, shrimp, barnacle)
  4. Trilobita (trilobites)
Term

Know the body parts of insects shown below.

Term
Identify 4 characteristics of exoskelotons.
Definition
  1. Made of Chitin (carbohydrate) and protein
  2. Provides protection of internal organs
  3. Provides support
  4. Waterproof and gas proof (made life on land possible)
Term
Identify 3 characteristics of molting exoskelotons.
Definition
  1. Exoskeletons cannot grow- non-living material
  2. Molting=
    1. Shedding outer layers of the exoskeleton
    2. Inner layer is digested by epidermis
    3. Some animals eat their exoskeleton!
  3. “Tanning” is the hardening of new exoskeleton after it has grown in
 
Term

Identify and describe 4 stages of Athropod Metamorphosis (changing body structure)

 

Definition
  1. Egg: soft, laid outside of the body
  2. Larva: wormlike, eat a ton, molt a ton
  3. Pupa: dormant stage, chemical and structural changes
  4. Adult: produces the gametes for sexual reproduction
Term
Identify 3 characteristics of gas exchange in arthropods.
Definition
  1. Each segment of the insect has lip-like opening called spiracles, which lead to a tree-like branching of tubes called tracheoles which divide until their microscopic endings reach EACH cell.
  2. Can be closed to prevent water loss
  3. Muscles can be used to pump gasses into and out of body

Term
Identify the 2 characteristics of circuluation in arthropods.
Definition
  1. They have no blood vessels, blood is able directly bathe their organs - CALLED Open Circulatory System
  2.  The cavities between tissues are called sinuses.
