3/15/2016 Invertebrates Part II Invertebrates are animals without a backbone. Mollusks – Soft sea animals • Soft bodied aquatic animals with a shell • 4 Part body plan – Foot- Muscular, used for movement – Mantle- Tissue that makes shell – Shell- Hard protective structure – Viseral Mass- Internal organs • Radula- feeding structure; can be specialized • 3 Classes – Gastropod- 1 shell – Bivalve- 2 shell – Cephalopods- foot divided into many tentacles (Still on Mollusks page) • • • • • Body type- Bilateral Symmetry Body Cavity- Coelom Nervous System- developed; brain Digestion- Extracellular, two opening tract Circulatory- Closed system with a true heart • Respiratory- Gills or gill-like structures • Reproduction- Sexual, very little asexual • Skeleton- Exoskeleton; hydrostatic Examples – Snail (top left), slug, scallop (bottom left), clam, oyster, octopus (right), squid Annelida – Segmented Worms • Bodies are soft but more complex than other worms • Segmented body, most with 1 nerve and 1 blood vessel • Well developed sense organs and internal organs compared to first few groups we studied • Most are aquatic • First group with a true body cavity (coelom) 1 3/15/2016 (Still on Segmented Worms page) • • • • • Body type- Bilateral Symmetry Body Cavity- Coelom Nervous System- Moderately developed; brain Digestion- Extracellular, two opening tract Circulatory- Small heart-like structures Closed System • Respiratory- Gas exchange by diffusion • Reproduction- Asexual or Sexual; hermaphrodites who pair up and fertilize each other • Skeleton- Hydrostatic Examples–Earthworms, leeches (right), spaghetti worm, pompeii worm (left) • • • • Arthropods – Jointed appendages Have jointed legs and chitin exoskeletons Segmented bodies Molt as they grow 4 Classes alive today – Chelicerata (arachnids, horseshoe crabs)- 8 legs 2 segments – Myriapoda- Many segments; either 1 leg pair (centipedes) or 2 (millipedes) per segment – Hexapods- Insects; 6 legs, 3 segments – Crustaceans- 2 pairs of antennae; hard exoskeleton (Still on Arthopod page) • • • • • • • • Body type- Bilateral Symmetry Body Cavity- Coelom Nervous System- developed; brain Digestion- Extracellular, two opening tract Circulatory- Open system with a true heart Respiratory- Simple lungs or air tubes Reproduction- Sexual, very little asexual Skeleton- Exoskeleton (hard shell of chitin) Examples – Ants (left) and other insects, lobster (center), shrimp, crabs, millipedes (right), spiders, scorpions 2 3/15/2016 Echinoderms – Spiny skin • Advanced embryo development, similar to vertebrates • Have 5 or more arms • Found in marine biomes • Eats by pushing stomach out of the mouth • 5 Classes: Starfish, Brittle stars, Sea urchins and Sand dollars, Sea Cucumber, Sea Lillies and Feather stars • Amazing powers of regeneration (Still on Echinoderm page) • • • • • • • Body type- Radial Symmetry Body Cavity- Coelom Nervous System- Simple; no brain Digestion- Extracellular, two opening tract Circulatory- Unique water vascular system Respiratory- Gills or gill-like structures Reproduction- Sexual, asexual when regenerating • Skeleton- Endoskeleton Examples – Starfish (top left), Brittle star (right), Sea urchins (bottoms left), Sea cucumbers 3
