Term
What is triploblastic?
Definition
Organism has 3 tissues layers. The mesoderm replaces the mesoglea. A synapomorphy of Bilateria.
Term
Explain diploblastic Radiata
Definition
invagination produced two tissue layers with an acellular middle layer of mesoglea
Term
Clade Platyhelminthes are called ________ since they lack a _________.
Definition
Clade Platyhelminthes are called "acoelomates" since they lack a body cavity.
Term
What are three Bilaterian clades?
Definition
Platyhelminthes, Nematomorpha, Rotifera[image]
Term
In Protostomes the blastopore forms the ------.
Definition
mouth
Term
The two Protostome clades are ...
Definition
Ecdysozoa & Lophotrochozoa
Term
Characteristics of Ecdysozoa
Definition
molt a chitinous exoskeleton
Term
Characteristics of Lophotrochozoa
Definition
looser grouping of animals that may have trochophore larvae or filter feed with a lophophore
Term
Characteristics of Rotifera
Definition
Freshwater (few are marine). Filter feeder w/ cilia to create water currents to bring the food particles to mouth. watch video of their toe action.
Term
How do Planarians excrete DIGESTED food? How about UNDIGESTED food?
Definition
Digested: Nitrogenous wastes enter the Flame Cell where they flow down the tubules and out the Nephridiopores Undigested: same way it went in-the pharynx
Term
What clade are Tapeworms in? How and where do they attach themselves? How do they reproduce?
Definition
Clade Cestoda Attach to intestine w/ scolex; reproduce using proglottids. Hermaphrodites
Term
What do tapeworms and spiny headed worms have in common? What are these similarities an example of?
Definition
1)They both lack mouth and anus so they must absorb nutrients through skin. 2)Both have synctial tegument and are anaerobic. This is an example of convergent evolution. These are homologous not analagous traits.
Term
Name 3 adaptations of gut parasites
Definition
1) anaerobic metabolism 2) glycocalyx (protects them from immune system) 3) syncytial tegument (no plasma membrane)
Term
What's special about Bdelloid Rotifers?
Definition
Some species are all female and parthenogenetic. Others are facultatively parthenogenetic. (They reproduce asexually until their environment deteriorates, and then they reproduce sexually) They are also known for their ability to enter a state of suspended animation called cryptobiosis to survive drying out.
Term
Facultatively Parthenogenetic
Definition
They can reproduce sexually when their enviroment deteriorates.
Term
What is the clade of Planarians? How do they feed?
Definition
1)Turbellaria 2)They smell for food w/ 2 ear-like projections.
Term
Cyptobiosis
Definition
ability of bdelloids to survive drying by entering a state of suspended animation.
Term
The soil nematode C. elegans reveal what 2 principles of development (i.e fates of cells)
Definition
Apoptosis Induction: anchor cell releases chemical signal to epidermal cells. These in turn release their own signal (INDUCER). this is called Sequential Induction. The concentration of inducer released also affects the fate of cell.
Term
Circulatory and Lymphatic system nematodes are which kind of worms? Gut and muscle nematodes are what?
Definition
Circ. and Lymph are filarial worms (elephantiasis and Loa Loa) Gut and muscle are Ascarid parasites (Round worm and pinworm) These are from clade Nematode
Term
How do spiny headed worms reproduce?
Definition
Cement gland glues shut the gonoducts of females, and male rivals. (Convergence: Cephalopods use hectocotylus arm which detaches in female)
Term
Flatworm feeding style
Definition
Sucked up with Pharynx[image]
Term
Define (w/ example) hermaphroditic?
Definition
Having both male and female sets of gametes. EX Planarians (flatworm)
Term
Gastrovascular cavity
Definition
Cavity where food is digested and circulated throughout body.
Term
Name 2 clades lacking both mouth & anus, who absorb nutrients through thier skin.
Definition
Tapeworm and spiny headworm
Term
Clade of chinese liver fluke
Definition
Platyhelminthian trematoda[image]
Term
[image] what clade is this.
Definition
Platyhelminthia: Cestoidea
Term
Draw the tapeworm life cycle.
Definition
A mosquito bites a tapeworm-laden dogwhose blood contains tapeworm larvae. That mosquito then bites your dog, transmitting the larvae. The larvae develop into adult tapeworms in your dog’s intestines. Their eggs hatch and burrow through the dog’s gut lining into its bloodstream, where another mosquito carries them off to a new dog. Grebes are a definitive host for tapeworms. Their millions of eggs fall into the ocean when the birds defecate. Zooplankton become infected with them, and then fish that eat the zooplankton are the 2° host.

Nematoda
Term
[image]
Definition
Nematoda
Term
What is glycocalyx. What kind of parasite have this?
Definition
1) protects from digestive enzymes by binding them to parasites surface 2) Gut parasite
Term
What kind of metabolism do tapeworms & other gut parasites have, and why?
Definition
anaerobic metabolisms, because their environment is anoxic.
Term
[image] What is the clade?
Definition
Nematomorphan
Term
[image] what clade is this?
Definition
Acanthocephala spiny headed worm
Term
What is an anchor cell? what organism have this cells?
Definition
C. elegans larvae have cell releases a chemical signal causing nearby epidermal cells to change from vulva precursor cells into vulva.
Term
What clade causes heartworm?
Definition
Filarial Nematode
Term
The clade Elephantiasis is ...? What is the characteristic of Elephantiasis?
Definition
Nematoda Worms clog the lymphatic vessels of appendages. Due to ensuing lymphatic fluid buildup, fibrous tissues build up.
Term
What clade is Loa loa? How do you get them?
Definition
Nematodes diurnal flies
Term
What clade is roundworm? What clade is pinworm? Where do they live?
Definition

Nematoda

Nematoda

Digestive system

Term
What is Trichinosis? What is the clade?
Definition
eating undercooked pork or bear whose muscle tissue contains encysted nematodes who then become active in your body. They penetrate the digestive tract and enter the circulatory and lymphatic systems to lodge in the major body muscles, especially the diaphragm Nematode
Term
[image] What clade is this? What family is this?
Definition
clade Platyhelminthes planarians
