Term
Are annelids protostomes or deuterostomes?
Definition
Protostomes
Term
Name some defining features of the phylum Annelida
Definition
Bilateral, triploblastic, protostomes, serially segmented, setae/parapodia, cerebral ganglia, longitudinal and circular muscle,
Term
What is the aciculum?
Definition
One of the slender, sharp stylets embedded in the parapodia of certain annelid worms, as the polychaetes.
Term
What's the sister group to the annelida and why is it confused with annelida?
Definition
Sipuncula (peanut worms), body wall somewhat similar to annelids (though unsegmented)
Term
Which groups that weren't considered to be part of the annelida now are and why?
Definition
Echiuridae and pogonophora, molecular data.
Term
The leeches (true leeches and false leeches) are part of what group?
Definition
Hirudinea
Term
What defines leeches?  Difference between the groups of leeches?
Definition
Loss of setae, fixed segments, anterior sucker.  Hirudinea=true leeches (34 segments, suckers on both ends).  Acanthobdellida (27 segments, only posterior sucker) and Branchiobdellida (14-15 segments, only anterior sucker)
Term
How do oligochaetes reproduce
Definition
Hermaphroditic sexual, stick to each other through secretions of the clitellum and transfer gametes.  Clitellum then secretes cocoon which picks up gametes and slips off worm and seals.  Young undergoes direct development
Term
What is a polychaete?
Definition
A paraphyletic class of annelid worms, generally marine. Each body segment has a pair of fleshy protrusions called parapodia that bear many setae
Term

Sedentaria consists only of polychaetes and errantia consists of clitellata and echiurida.  Together sedentaria and errantia constitute 100 percent of the annelid species.  True or false?

Definition
Its the other way around.  Also, the class Chaetopteridae sits outside of the sedentaria and errantia so they don't constitute 100 percent
Term
Name key features of chaetopteridae
Definition
metameric body with biramous appendages, some tagmatisation (fans etc),
Term
What features of errantia allow for them to be mobile predators and scavengers?
Definition
Retractile prostomium with more derived sensory organs, eversible pharynx and sometimes chitinous jaw, notopodium and neuropodium.
Term
Is parapodia present in sedentaria?
Definition

Usually but reduced, used to anchor/ for respiration

 

Term
defining characteristics of oligochaetes?
Definition
Lack parapodia, have constant clitellum, direct development
Term
What constitutes the foregut, midgut and hindgut?
Definition

F- buccal cavity, pharynx, crop, gizzard

M- Secretory (digestive enzymes, absorption)

H- excretory

Term
T or F?  Derived have ventral nerve chord, basal have bilateral nerve chord?
Definition
T
Term
Earthworms have fused nerve chords that can be myelinated?
Definition
True
Term
Segmentation increases efficiency of motion.  This is because the longitudinal muscles and the circular muscles are ___
Definition
Antagonistic
Term
Sedentaria have solid palps, eyes and lateral antennae.  True or false?
Definition
False, that is Errantia
Term
What polychaetes are in sedentaria?
Definition
tube worms (siboglinidae)
Term
What feature of lugworms help them move water past their gills and also snare prey down into their holes?
Definition
Eversible proboscis
Term
Do echiurids exhibit segmentation?
Definition
No
Term
The only monophyletic clade of Clitellata is:
Definition
Hirudinida
Term
How many superficial rings are in each segment of a leech?  Also what properties do they have to help facilitate their feeding mechanisms?
Definition

3.

Anaesthetic and anti-coagulant.
