Chapter 34

Introduction

Coelomates have a body design that:

1. Repositions the body’s fluid

2. Allows complex tissues/organs to develop

3. Allows for a larger body size

Coeloms evolved multiple times during animal evolution

Phylum Mollusca

Mollusks are second in diversity only to arthropods

-Exhibit a wide variety of sizes and body forms

-Live in many different environments

-Include snails, slugs, clams, octopuses and others

Phylum Mollusca

Phylum Mollusca (Cont.)

Phylum Mollusca

Mollusks evolved in the oceans and most groups have remained there

They are an important source of human food

They are economically significant in other ways

-Pearls are produced in oysters

-Mother-of-pearl is produced in the shells of abalone

Mollusks can also be pests

-Zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha)

Mollusk Body Plan

Mollusks are bilaterally symmetrical

-Characterized by a reduced coelom surrounding the heart and excretory organs

The digestive, excretory and reproductive organs are concentrated in a visceral mass

Mollusks may have a differentiated head at the anterior end of the body

Mollusk Body Plan

Mantle = A thick epidermis that covers the dorsal side of the body

-Forms a cavity which houses the respiratory organs (ctenidia, or gills) and the openings of excretory, reproductive & digestive organs

The muscular foot of a mollusk is adapted for locomotion, attachment, food capture

-Or a combination of the above

Mollusk Body Plan

Mollusk Body Plan (Cont.)

Mollusk Body Plan

Most mollusks produce an external calcium carbonate-rich shell

-Used for protection

-Some species have internalized or reduced shells

Most mollusks have a rasping tongue-like organ called the radula

-Used for feeding

Mollusk Body Plan

Nephridia = Special excretory structures that remove nitrogenous wastes

-Consist of cilia-lined openings called nephrostomes

Except for cephalopods, all mollusks have an open circulatory system

Cephalopods have a closed circulatory system

Mollusk Reproduction

Most mollusks have distinct male and female individuals

Most engage in external fertilization

In marine mollusks, embryos develop through spiral cleavage

-Trochophores: Free-swimming larval stage

-Veliger: Second free-swimming larval stage

-Only in bivalves and snails

Mollusk Reproduction

Classes of Mollusks

There are eight recognized classes

-Four are representatives of the phylum

1. Polyplacophora

2. Gastropoda

3. Bivalvia

4. Cephalopoda

Classes of Mollusks

Class Polyplacophora (Chitons)

-Marine mollusks that have oval bodies with eight overlapping dorsal calcareous plates

-Body is not segmented under the plates

-Most chitons are grazing herbivores

Classes of Mollusks

Class Gastropoda (Snails and slugs)-A primarily marine group-Heads typically have pairs of tentacles with eyes at the ends-During embryological development, gastropods undergo

1. Torsion – Mantle cavity and anus are moved from the posterior to the front

2. Coiling – Spiral winding of the shell

Classes of Mollusks

Class Bivalvia (Bivalves)

-Includes clams, scallops, mussels, oysters and others

-Have two lateral (right and left) shells (valves) hinged together dorsally

-Most are sessile filter-feeders

-Water circulation is mediated by siphons and rhythmic beating of cilia on

Classes of Mollusks

Class Cephalopoda

-Active marine predators

-Foot has evolved into a series of arms equipped with suction cups

-Squids have 10; octopuses, 8; and nautiluses, 80 to 90

-Have highly developed nervous systems

-Exhibit complex patterns of behavior and a high level of intelligence

Classes of Mollusks

Class Cephalopoda

-Many have an ink sac and are capable of expelling ink to confuse predators

-Octopuses and squids can change color using pouches of pigment called chromatophores

Phylum Annelida

Annelid worms exhibit segmentation (building of body from repeated units)

-Allows for specialization

Members of this phylum are not monophyletic

Phylum Annelida

An annelid consists of a series of ring-like elements running the length of the body

-Divided internally by septa

The anterior (front) segments contain specialized sensory organs

A ventral nerve cord connects the ganglia in each segment with each other and the brain

Phylum Annelida

Annelids move using their hydrostatic skeleton -Each segment contains chitin bristles (chaetae) that help anchor the worms

Most have a closed circulatory system

They exchange O2 and CO2 through their body surfaces

Excretory system consists of a pair of ciliated, funnel-shaped nephridia per segment

Phylum Annelida

Annelids have traditionally been classified into three classes:

1. Class Polychaeta

2. Class Oligochaeta

3. Class Hirudinea

Hirudinea is now considered a sub-class of Oligochaeta

Phylum Annelida

Class Polychaeta (Polychaetes)

-Mostly marine worms, such as tubeworms

-Unusual forms and iridescent colors

-Have a differentiated head

-Have paired parapodia on most segments

-Used in swimming, burrowing, crawling

-Sexes are usually separate

-Typically lack permanent gonads

Phylum Annelida

Class Oligochaeta (Earthworms and leeches)

-Mostly terrestrial

Earthworms

-Consist of 100-175 segments, with a mouth on the first and an anus on the last

-Lack eyes, parapodia and head

-Have fewer setae than polychaetes

Phylum Annelida

Earthworms are hermaphroditic

-Clitellum secretes mucus that holds the worms together during copulation

-Also secretes a mucus cocoon, in which the fertilized egg develops

Phylum Annelida

Leeches

-Occur mostly in freshwater

-Usually flattened dorsoventrally

-Cross-fertilization is obligatory

-Have no chaetae (except for one species)-Medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis

-Secretes anticoagulant

The Lophophorates

Include two phyla of mostly marine animals: Bryozoa and Brachiopoda

Both convergently evolved a lophophore

-A circular or U-shaped ridge around the mouth with 1-2 rows of ciliated tentacles

-Functions in gas exchange and feeding

Most members undergo radial cleavage

Phylum Bryozoa

Bryozoans are small and live in colonies

-Their anus opens near their mouth

-Phylum also called Ectoprocta

-Individuals secrete a tiny chitinous chamber called a zoecium

-Used for attachment

-Asexual reproduction occurs frequently by budding

Phylum Bryozoa

Phylum Bryozoa (Cont.)

Phylum Brachiopoda

Brachiopods have two calcified shells

-Valves are dorsal and ventral (not lateral as in bivalves)

-Solitary lophophorates

Phoronids were once a separate phylum

-Each individual secretes a chitinous tube and lives out its life within it

-Develop as protostomes (unlike brachiopods)

Phylum Arthropoda

Arthropods are the most successful animals

-1,000,000 species (2/3rd of all species)

-About 80% are insects

-For each human, 200 million insects are alive at any one time

Athropods affect all aspects of human life

Are divided into four major classes:

-Arachnids, myriapods, crustaceans and insects

Arthropod Morphology

All arthropods have jointed appendages

-Modifications: antennae, mouthparts, legs

Arthropods also have an exoskeleton made of secreted chitin and protein

-Functions: protection & muscle attachment

-Its thickness limits arthropod body size

Arthropod bodies are segmented

-Some segments are specialized into functional groups, or tagmata

Arthropods have an open circulatory system

Compound eyes are found in many arthropods

-Composed of independent visual units called ommatidia

Other arthropods have simple eyes, or ocelli

-Have single lenses

-Distinguish light from darkness

Nervous system consists of a double chain of segmented ganglia on ventral surface

-Brain seems to be an inhibitor, rather than as a stimulator, as it is in vertebrates

Respiratory system consists of tracheae and tracheoles

-Connected to the exterior by spiracles

Arthropods have a unique excretory system consisting of Malpighian tubules

-Eliminates nitrogenous wastes as concentrated uric acid or guanine

Arthropods periodically undergo ecdysis or molting

-Shedding the outer cuticular layer

Class Arachnida

Arachnids are largely terrestrial organisms

-Spiders, ticks, mites, scorpions, and others

The most anterior appendages, chelicerae, often function as fangs or pincers

Body is divided into two main tagmata

-Prosoma (anterior): Bears all appendages

-Opisthosoma (posterior): Contains the reproductive organs

Class Arachnida

Pedipalps (palps) are posterior to chelicerae

-Resemble legs, but have one less segment

-Used as copulatory organs, pincers, or sensors

Most arachnids are carnivorous

-Mites are largely herbivorous

Class Arachnida

Order Araneae (spiders)

-About 35,000 species

-Many spiders catch their prey in silk webs

-Silk protein forced out of spinnerets found on the posterior of the abdomen

-Other spiders actively hunt their prey

-All spiders have poison glands leading through their chelicerae

Class Arachnida

Order Acari (mites and ticks)

-Largest and most diverse arachnid order

-Most mites are small

-Cephalothorax and abdomen are fused into an unsegmented ovoid body

-Ticks are larger than mites

-Are blood-eating parasites

-Can carry many diseases (spotted fevers, Lyme disease)

Centipedes and Millipedes

Centipedes (class Chilopoda) and Millipedes (class Diplopoda) have bodies with a head followed by numerous segments

Centipedes are all carnivores (eat insects)

Millipedes are largely herbivores

In both fertilization is internal

-The sexes are separate

Centipedes and Millipedes

Centipedes have fewer legs than millipedes

-Centipedes: one leg pair on each segment

-Millipedes: two on some or all segments

Class Crustacea

Crustaceans are primarily aquatic organisms

-Crabs, shrimps, lobsters, barnacles, others

Have three tagmata

-The two most anterior fuse to form a cephalothorax

Have two pairs of antennae, three pairs of appendages, and various pairs of legs

Most appendages are biramous

Class Crustacea

Mandibles (biting jaws) likely evolved from a pair of limbs that took on a chewing function

Most crustaceans have separate sexes

Majority develop through a nauplius stage

Class Crustacea

Decapod crustaceans include shrimps, lobsters, crabs and crayfish

-Have ten feet

-Exoskeleton usually enforced with CaCO3

-Most body segments are fused into a cephalothorax

-Lobsters and crayfish have appendages that aid in swimming

-Swimmerets and uropods

Class Crustacea

Order Cirripedia

-Barnacles are crustaceans that are sessile as adults

-Free-swimming larvae

-Are hermaphroditic

-Some have stalks

Class Hexapoda

Insects are by far the largest group of animals

-More than half of all named animal species

Insects are primarily a terrestrial group

Approximately one billion billion (1018) insects are alive at any one time

Class Hexapoda

Class Hexapoda (Cont.)

Class Hexapoda

External features-Three body regions1. Head = Has pair of antennae and modified mouthparts2. Thorax = Has three segments, each with a pair of legs

-May have one or two pairs of wings 3. Abdomen

-Lined with cuticle on anterior and posterior regions

-Digestion takes place in stomach (midgut)

-Excretion tales place through Malpighian tubules

-Tracheae permeate all tissues

Class Hexapoda

Sensory receptors

-Sensory setae are hair-like structures

-Detect chemical and mechanical signals

-Tympanal organs are composed of a thin membrane, the tympanum

-Detect sound

-In addition, insects can communicate by means of pheromones

Class Hexapoda

Insect life histories

-Many insects undergo metamorphosis

-Simple metamorphosis (grasshopers)

-Immature stages similar to adults

-Complete metamorphosis (butterflies)

-Immature larva are wormlike

-A resting stage, pupa or chrysalis, precedes the final molt into adult form

Phylum Echinodermata

Echinoderms are an ancient group of marine animals, with about 6000 living species

-Characterized by deuterostome development and an endoskeleton

Echinoderm Body Plan

The echinoderm body plan undergoes a fundamental shift during development

-Larvae = bilateral symmetry

-Adults = pentaradial symmetry

Body structure is discussed in reference to their mouths, which define the oral surface

Endoskeleton -Found internal to a delicate epidermis which contains thousands of neurosensory cells-Composed of either movable or fixed calcium-rich (calcite) plates called ossicles

-Perforated by pores to allow extension of tube feet

-Contains mutable collagenous tissue-Provides ability to autotomize body

Water-vascular system

-A hydraulic system that aids in movement and feeding

-Composed of a central ring canal from which five radial canals extend into each of the body’s five parts

-Madreporite = Opening for water entry

-Ampulla = Muscular sac for tube feet control

Echinoderms have a large coelom which connects with a complicated tub system

-Helps provide circulation and respiration through extensions called papulae

Reproduction

-In some echinoderms, asexual reproduction takes place by splitting

-Broken parts can regenerate the whole animal

-Most reproduction in the phylum is sexual and external

Classes of Echinoderms

There are more than 20 extinct classes

In addition, there are five extant classes

1. Asteroidea (sea stars and sea daisies)

2. Crinoidea (sea lilies and feather stars)

3. Echinoidea (sea urchins & sand dollars)

4. Holothuroidea (sea cucumbers)

5. Ophiuroidea (brittle stars)
