Term
Life?
Definition
most free-living; planktonic or benthic; some commensal and some parasitic; mostly freshwater, some marine
Term
Body?
Definition
posses pseudocoel(fluid); exhibit eutely(fixed number of cells); triploblastic
Term
Tissue?
Definition
epidermis syncytial w/fixed number of nuclei; contains cuticle of glycoproteins for protection/shape. No specialized circulatory or repiratory systems (diffusion)
Term
Feed?
Definition
ciliated Corona(crown of cilia) brings food in; suspension feeders. ciliated food grooves b/w bands of cilia
Term
Digestive cycle?
Definition
mouth->mastax(muscular swelling;contains trophi(hard parts, shred food))->esophugus->stomach(gastric glands)->cloaca(digestive, repro, excretory systems empty into cloaca)->anus
Term
Musculature?
Definition
circular(around body);longitudinal(length of body);retractor (attached to body wall and organs; associated w/internal organs); Pseudocoel acts as hydrostatic skeleton
Term
Locomotion?
Definition
ciliary movement; temporary attachment; looping; some sedentary (live in tubes)
