Life cycle: human liver flukes

1. Eggs are shed into water with feces, each containing a complete miracidium. 2. Miracidium hatches after being eaten by a snail. 3. After being eaten by snail, turns into a sporocysts, then into a rediae. 4. Rediae turns into a cercaria that escape into the water until they encounter a fish. 5. Turn into a metacercarial cysts in the fish muscle. 6. Mammal eats raw/undercooked fish, metacercarical cysts dissolves in intestine, fluke lives 15-20 years.

Describe features, morphological and developmental, that would likely be found in the earliest ancestral mollusk.

1. Features characteristics of protostomes such as spiral cleavage and trochophore larva. 2. coelom

The climate of southeastern US and southeastern China are similar. Describe two separate factors that serve to keep flatworm parasites less common in the US than in China.

1. Less consumption of raw meat which means less cyst ingestion 2. More sanitation practices that prevent feces with eggs coming into contact with the snail intermediate host

Discuss two competing hypotheses for the origin of the body cavity. How does Lobatocerebrum inform this debate?

1. Libby Hymen's view: Flatworms are the first ancestor and first protostomes formed by schizocoely, which is where a coelom forms when a solid band of mesoderm surround the gut splits open, forming a space where fluid collects. 2. Enterocoely: The dueterstome way that is homologous back to the cnidarians. The body cavity was formed as an endoderm lining the gut pushes outward, enclosing a coelomic cavity. Lobatocerebrum is an example of the way a body cavity can compress, it goes with enteroceal, agains Libby Hymen's idea and is also a good example of progenesis.

Discuss developmental similarities between protostomes coelomates.

1. blastopore (1st hole) becomes mouth, anus forms second 2. spiral cleavage 3. coelom created by splitting 4. Mosaic embry 5. No identical twins

Describe the annelid body plan, including body wall, segments, coelom and its compartments, and coelomic lining. Explain how the hydrostatic skeleton of annelids helps them to burrow. How is the efficiency for burrowing increased by segmentation?

2 part head composed of prostomium and peristomium followed bysegmented body and a terminal portion called pygidium. head and pygidium are not segments. new segments develop right in front of pygidium with the oldest segments at the anterior end and the newest posterior. each segment contains circulatory, respiratory, nervous and excretory structs as well as a coelom. pair of coelomic compartments in each segment. coelomic lining made up of peritoneum that lines the body wall of each compartment which forms dorsal and ventral mesentaries that cover all organs. the body walls surround the peritoneum and coelom contains circluar and long. muscles. Burrowing efficiency is increased by metamerism because a segmented body allows for peristaltic contractions to occur.

What is meant by mesoderm from the 4D cell? Which phyla express this pattern? What is meant by a mulluscan or annelid cross at the 64 cell stage? Which phyla express which pattern?

4D cell is one cell at the 64 cell stage of development. They are usually cells around the lip of the blastual; used to create all of the mesoderm. Exhibited by lophotrochozoan protostomes. The cross is basically an engraving on the ball of cells that are in either an x or + shape. Molluscs and sipunculids = molluscan cross Annelids and echiurins = annelid cross First clue to evolutionary relationships

What is a lophophore? Are lopohphorates protostomes or deuterostomes? Discuss the characteristics that support your position and why characteristics that do not support your position are not important. What are some protostome characters found among lophophorates? What are their deuterostome characters?

A crown of ciliated tentacles surrounding the mouth but not the anus and containing an extention of mesocoel. - Functions as both a respiratory and feeding structure found in ectoprocta, brachipopoda, and phoronida. - Protostomes Deuterostome: DO NOT SUPPORT some show radial cleavage, coelom formed by enterogoely, coelom divided into 3 parts. Not important because most of the protostome characters come from ribosomal RNA and molecular data. The fact that ecto, brachi, and phoronids are currenty placed as protostome reflect acceptance of their molecular data in the face of conflicting and inconsisten morphological data. Protstome: DO SUPPORT; embryos typically exhibiting spiral mosaic cleavage, embryonic blastopores become the mouth, not the anus, coelom formed by schizocoely, which is where a coelom forms when a solid band of mesoderm surrounding the gut splits open, forming a space where fluid collects.

Dirofilaria

A genus of filarial worms including the heartworm and other species, usually found in mammals other than humans.

What are some adaptive advantages of a pseudocoel compared to the acoelomate condition? Explain the difference between a true coelom and a pseudocoel.

Acoelomates do not have a coelom. Psuedocoel. contain an internal cavity surrounding the gut but the vacity is not completely lined with mesoderm as it would be in a coelomate animal. A mesodermal layer occurs on the outer edge of the cavity but that layer does not for a mesentery. Some adaptive advantages are that the psue. shares some of the same functions as a coelom does, it gives space for development and differentiation of digestive, excretory,a nd reproductive systes a simple cirulation system of hydrostatic support. a true coelom is a body cavity comletely lined with mesodermal pertoneum.

Describe and trace the following lifecycles: mictic and amictic cycles of rotifers.

Amictic: Thin shelled rotifer eggs, may develop parthenogenetically into diploid (amictic) females. This happens the part of the year when environmental conditions are suitable. Life cycle= mitosis- amictic female- mitosis egg. If environmental conditions are bad, diploid mictic females will produce haploid eggs, which if not fertlized, will turn into haploid males. If fertilized, the haploid eggs are Mictic and develop a thick resistant shell and become dormant until environmental conditions are suitable again. Once it is a suitable condition they hatch into amictic females. Mictic Lifecycle: Egg- mitosis- amictic female- haploid egg- mictic female- meoisis- unfertilized egg- male- sperm- fertilization of egg- mitosis- egg- amictic female.

Which other invertebrate groups are likely to be the closest relatives of molluscs? What evidence supports and contradicts these relationships?

Annelids. They have a developmental pattern very similar to that of mollusks but the annelid body is metameric composed of serially repeated seguments where there are no true seguments in mollusks both annelids and mollusks are coelomate protostomes but the coelom is greatly reduced in mollusks as compared with annelids. there is much debate over this but possible mollusks with repeated body parts were derived from unsegumented molluscan ancestors.

eucoelomate

Any of the animals with "true" coelom, which is characterized by a body cavity completely lined with a peritoneum that attaches to organs

What is a pogonophora? Where does it live? What does it eat?

Beard worms. They live in mud on the ocean floor at depths of 100-10000m obtained only by dredging they livein long chitinous tubes in upright positions they have no mouth or digestive system, so they absorb some nutrients dissolved in seawater such as gllucose, amino acids, and fatthy acids. Most energy is derived from chemoautorophic bacteria that oxidize hydrogen disulfide to produce organic compounds from co2. the bacteria are helpd ina trophosome.

Cleavage: spiral, radial, bilateral

Bilateral: The first cleavage results in bisection of the zygote into left and right halves.

How do the valves of the brachiopods compare with the valves of bivalve molluscs?

Bivalves - Right and left valves hinged by ligament on dorsal surface. Umbo points towards anterior. Brachiopods - Pedicle valve (ventral) is larger, projecting beyond brachial valve (dorsal) at posterior

Briefly describe how a typical bivalve feeds and how it burrows.

Bivalves are filter feeders that depend on currents produced by cilia on their gills to gather food materials. bland cells on gills and labial palps secrete copious amounts of mucus which enlarges particles suspended in gill pores which slides towards food grooves at the lower edge of the gills. bivalves move by extending a muscular foot between valves pumping blood into a foot causeing it to sweel and act like an achor then contracting the foot to pull the animal forwards. they can burrow into mud sand wood or stone by using globular valves some ston borers valves have spines.

proglottid

Boxlike portion of a tapeworm containing a set of reproductive organs; usually corresponds to a segment

Describe adaptations in the circulatory and neurosensory systems of cephalopods that are particularly valuable for actively swimming, predaceous animals.

Circulatroy: closed system have accessory or brachial hearts at the base of each gill to increase the pressure of the blood going thorugh. this allows this to circulate enough water for their high oxygen requirements which is very valuable for actively swimming animals to get enough o2 in their muscles. neuro: most elaborate in mollusca largest brain which has giant nerve fiers which can initiate maximal conractions of mantle muscles for speedy escape. have high complex eyes excellent eye sight.

Describe the function of the clitellum and cocoon.

Clitelum are specific to oligochaeta and hirudinida. it is a reproductive structure in the epidermis that appears the worms exterior as a fat band around the middle. produces the coocon in which eggs are depsoitied during sexual reproduction.

What characteristics of phylum Cnidaria are most important in distinguishing it from other phyla? What type of larval form do they have?

Cnidocytes - Modified interstitial cells that hold the nematocysts (stinger) Radial polyp form Planula larva - free swimming, ciliated flat oval that is diploblastic Mouth surrounded by solid tentacles

Discuss the evolution of bivalve gills. Compare bivalve gills with the gills of other molluscs. Include a description of protobranch and lamellibranch gills along with a discussion of morphology, primary, and secondary functions.

Derived from primitive ctenidia by a great lengthening of filaments along each side of the central mass. Gills have water pores and channels. General bivalves have a lamellibranch gill that is used for both respiration and feeding, which fills the mantle cavity and has a mucous covering that catches particles that are then eaten by the bivavle. Protobranchs have been pushed to deep sea regions because they are out competed as their gills are only used for respiration.

What is an entoproct? What is an endoproct? How do the two differ?

Ento: Inside anus, tiny sessile resemble hydroid cnidarians but have ciliated tentacles that tend to roll inward. solitary or colonial all stalked well developed nerve ganglion. Ecto: outside anus, aquatic animals encrust hard surfaces. Sessile colony builders. Have zooids that for zoecium. Have ciliates that generate a current. Has lophophore digestive tract muscles and nerve centers. has zooid larva that metamorphozises into ancestrula before growing into a colony. when producing asexually the produce resistant hard capsules containing a mass of germinative cells. survive through winter and give rise to new ploypides in the spring.

Sense organs in modern trematodes and cestodes are poorly developed. Likewise other features appear simpler than what is thought to be their ancestor stock (turbellarian flatworms). Typically we think of evolution as leading to increases in complexity, however, it often seems that in parasitic groups simplicity in morphology is selected over complexity. Discuss why this might be the case. Use the beef tapeworm as a model in your discussion. The beef tapeworm currently infests castle, a mammal of more recent evolution. Did tapeworms only evolve as parasites after their modern hosts appeared? If not, what were they doing before then?

Even though evolution goes from simple to more complex, there are also times where it goes from more complex to simple. By not building a complex structure, the animal can shunt that energy elsewhere. Organisms find better ways to use energy then give them too many structures they don't need. In evolutionary terms, what works the best with the least amount of energy, has an advantage over other more complex organisms. The beef tapeworm perhaps had the ability to infect other species in earlier times. However, since the cow has become more prevalent, the tapeworm no longer needed the genetic mechanisms to invade all of the other species, and instead, just focused on the cow.

Gastropods have diversified enormously. Illustrate this statement by describing variations in feeding habits found in gastropods.

Feeding habits are super divers, but all include use of some adaptation of radula. most are herbivours and rasp aprticles of algae from hard surfaces some abalones hold seaweed with their foot and break off pieces with radula. some are scavengers that live on dead decaying flesh and others are carnivores that tear their prey with radular teeth some feed on bivalves by drilling holes through shells with teeth.

Peristomium

Foremost true segment of an annelid; it bears the mouth

Most freshwater clams have a bivalved ___________ stage that attaches to the gills and lives as a parasite for a few weeks.

Glochidia

Describe the phylum Gnathostomulida. Why do zoologists not classify nemerteans and gnathostomulids with Platyhelminthes? Nemerteans possess a body cavity formed by schizocoely. What is this cavity and how is it different from the cavity in most coelomate animals?

Gnathostomulia are jaw worms. They are made unique by their complex jaw structure. They have ciliated epidermis with one cilium per epidermal cell. Simple. Acoelomate body. No circulatory system. Develops with spiral cleavage, hermaphorodites. Not classified with platy because of their jaw. Nemerteans not classified bc they have a complete gut, outside anus and body cavity around proboscis.

Coral reefs are generally limited in geographic distribution to shallow marine waters. How do you explain this observation?

Hermatypic corals and their zooanthellae that make up coral reefs require warmth, light, and salinity of undiluted sweater. This limits them to very specific locations across the globe and keep them close to the surface due to water filtering the light.

Members of such a large and diverse phylum as Mollusca impact humans in many ways. Discuss this statement.

Humans can use mollusks as food, can obtain pears from the shells of bivalves and they can be pests because of damage they can cause (burrowing shipworms), snails and slugs can damage gardens and vegetation, and snails can serve as intermediate hosts for serious parasites of humans and animals.

Name and distinguish the taxonomic classes in phylum Cnidaria

Hydrozoa - Colonial jellies; velum in medusa; medusae produced by lateral budding Scyphozoa - Bell/cup jellies; strobilation - asexual reproduction via division of the body into segments Cubozoa - Box jellies; boxlike medusa; four evenly spaced tentacle clusters; complex, well developed eyes Anthozoa - Flower animals; no medusa stage; reproduce by budding; hexaradial

What functional problem results from torsion? How have gastropods evolved to avoid this problem?

In Gastropods, initially the veliger larval stage the mouth is the anterior and the anus is posteriour. Torsion is the process that changers the relative position of the shell, digestive tract, anus, nerves that lie alongside the digestive tract, and the mantle cavity containing the gills. The asymmetrical foot retractor muscle pulls the viscera organs and brings the anus from the posterior to the right side of the body. The digestive tract moves both laterally and dorsally so that the anus lies above the head. This switches the left gill, kidney, heart, and atrium to the right and vice versa. This allows the animal to draw its head inside the shell. The functional problem that results from torsion is called fouling, which is where there is the possibility of waste washing over the head and gills since the anus opens up over the head. Gastropods have evolved to avoid this problem by losing the gill, atrium on their right side due to carrying a coiled shell with a conispiral shape, leading to bilateral symetry. Though this was probably due to carrying a shell it also made it possible to avoid fouling because water is now brought into the left side of the mantle cavity not the right, carrying with it the waste. No organs on the right, so no harm no foul.

Compare the excretory system in each class of annelids

In each segment (metamere) of the organism, a pair of complete excretory structures called the metanephridium exists. The metanephridium has an extremity, the nephrostoma, which collects waste from the coelom, filtering it and causing reabsorption along its extension (similar to human nephron tubules). The material to be excreted goes out through a pore, the nephridiopore, which opens to the surface of the body.

Compare the circulatory system in each class of annelids

In organisms of the phylum Annelida, the circulatory system is closed, meaning that blood circulation takes place only within specialized vessels.

Labial palps

Nacreous layer

Innermost lustrous layer of a molluscan shell, secreted by mantle epithelium.

Name and give functions of the main cell types in the epidermis and in the gastrodermis of hydra. In what way is a hydra atypical as a hydrozoan?

Interstitial - undifferentiated stem cells found among the bases of the epithliomuscular cells. Gland - tall cells, located around the basal disc and mouth that secrete an adhesive substance for attachment and sometimes a gas bubble for floating. Sensory - found around the mouth and tentacles and on the basal disc; have a flagellum a sensory receptor Cnidocytes - 3 types: penetrants that penetrate and inject prey, volvents that recoil and entangle prey, and glutinants that secrete an adhesive substance used in locomotion and attachment Nerve - multiple axons form synapses with sensory cells, other nerve cells, epithliomuscular cells, and cnidocytes.

How do zooxanthellae contribute to the welfare of hermatypic corals?

It is a mutualistic relationship in which the zooxanthellae live in the coral tissues where they photosynthesize and fixate carbon dioxide which in turn furnishes food molecules for the coral. They also recycle phosphorus and nitrogen waste that would otherwise be lost, as well as enhance the corals' ability to deposit calcium carbonate.

Describe several features of the phylum Rotifera. What is a mastax with jaw-like trophy and a ciliated corona? Compare and contrast features of the phylum Gastroticha.

Can be free living or colonial tolerant of environmental extremes ciliated coronas surround their head cilia on the coronoa beat in succession giving appearance of revolving wheel or pair of wheels they function in both locomotion and feeding have a foot bearing 1-4 toes and has both sessile and creeping forms mastax with jaw like trophy is the pharynx fitted with muscular portion equipped with hard jaws for sucking in and grinding food particles. They constantly chewing mastax is a distinguishing feature. Rotifers are diocious and produce eggs. protonephridia have flame cells.

How does a molluscan coelom develop embryologically? Why was the evolutionary development of a coelom important?

Mollluscs are lophorochozoan protostomes and develop via spiral mosaic cleavage and make a coelom by schizocoely which is where a coelom forms when a solid band of mesoderm surrounding the gut splits open forming a space where fluid collects this is important bc it tells if an organisms was a protostome or due.

Contrast the typical life cycle of a monogenean with that of a digenetic trematode

All have a lophophore

What do planarians (triclad flatworms) eat, and how do they digest it?

Planaria eat living or dead small animals that they suck up with their muscular mouths. Food passes from the mouth through the pharynx into the intestines where it is digested by the cells lining the intestines. Then its nutrients diffuse to the rest of the body.

What is progenesis? How does this relate to the phylogeny of Platyhelminthes? How does this view compare to the planoid theory discussed by Libby Hymen?

The maturation of gametes in an organism that is still otherwise at the juvenile stage of development (see paedogenesis). Progenesis can lead to paedomorphosis. Progenesis relates to they phylogeny of platyhelminths because there are theories that the ancestor of Platyhelminthes were not aceolomate, like current flatworms are today, but were like a worm with a body cavity. The simplicity of the platy is a derived feature, not ancestral. This view compares to the planoid theory because she did not think flatworms were progenic, but had the idea that they were simple because they were ancestral. She thought platy formed the keystone group that sat between protostomes and deuterostomes, and that the ancestors of protostomes and deuterostomes were a worm with a body cavity. Evolving simplicity was not the case.

What is an unusual feature of the nervous system of Cnidarians?

They don't have a central nervous system, but rather a nerve net. Many of the synapses have vesicles of neurotransmitters on both sides, allowing transmission across the synapse in either direction. They also don't have any insulating material (myelin) on the axons.

Recent evidence suggests that members of Acoelomorpha constitute a sister group for all other Bilateria. How do members of this group differ from typical protostomes?

They have a duet spiral pattern of new cells during cleavage events after fetilization and lack a true brain, and have radial arrangememnt of nerves in the body instead of ladderlike pattern seen in platy. Aceolomorph statocysts differe in structure from thos of platy. Recently phylogenetic studies using moleuclar characters describe acol. as early diverging, bi laterally symmetrical tripoblasts with only 4-5 hox genes unlike platy.

Describe the phylum Cycliophora. How many species are described and when was the first species described? Where does it live? What does it eat? What is meant by a dwarf parasitic male?

Tiny. Only 3 species described and the first one 1995. They live on the mouth parts of marine decapod crustaceans in northern hemisphere. feed by collecting bacter or bits of food dropped from their lobster host on the ring compound cilia that surrounds the mouth. ALL females, males are basically tumorous masses on female that does nothing but produce sperm. Takes nutrientes from female, parasite on female.

Contrast asexual reproduction in triclad flatworms, trematodes, and cestodes

Triclad flatworms: Asexual reproduction of Flatworms Can reproduce asexually or sexually. Asexually they reproduce by fission. They have the ability to regenerate missing parts. Trematodes: Undergo asexual reproduction in their intermediate snail hosts. Miracidium enters the tissues and transforms into a sporcyst which produces one generation of redae which gives rise to the cercariae. These two asexual stages in the inermediate host allow a single miracidium to produce over 250,000 cercaria. Cestodes: Budd off hundreds of offspring. also known to cross fertilize and self fertilize. When raw or undercooked measly meat is eaten by a suitable host the cyst wall dissolves scolex attaches to the intestinal mucosa and proglottids begin to develop.

What is a trochophore? Draw and label a diagram of a trochophore including important morphology. Finally list and discuss the taxa that have a trochophore and taxa that have something that resembles a trochophore.
