Characteristics of Annelida • Segmentation – both internal (septae) and external - phylum includes earthworms, leeches, and a large number of mostly marine worms known as polychaetes. (There are about 9000 species of annelid known today) • Coelom – lined with mesoderm, fluid filled cavity which separates body wall from the intestine; independent movements, tube within a tube
Characteristics (continued) • Advanced Organ Structures 1 way digestive tract with 2 openings (specialization) Chemical and mechanical digestion Closed circulatory system ** Ventral nerve cord with ganglia
Classes • Leech • Nereis • Oligochaetes - earthworms
Leech • Anterior sucker and larger posterior sucker for attachment • Anterior teeth for penetration
Nereis • Distinct head projections: tentacles, eyes, mouth (sensory functions) • Parapodia:fleshy lateral extensions per segment with setae, function in locomotion and respiration
Physiology of Earthworm • Locomotion- mesodermal muscles and ventral setae, aerates soil • Food-getting- dead vegetation via a muscular phyrynx via the mouth to short esophagus • Digestion- 1-way digestive tract with specialization -esophagus-crop(storage)-gizzard(mechanical digestion)-long intestine(site of extracellular chemical digestion) with typhlosole(dorsal longitudinal fold)-absorption following digestion-anus
Physiology of Earthworm • Excretion- anus-sold wastes(fertilizer for soil) Nephridia-liquid wastes from coelom, open to exterior in each segment • Circulation- Blood moves anteriorly along contractile dorsal blood vessel aided by contraction 5prs of “hearts” or pumps-blood flows posteriorly via ventral blood vessel-blood returns to dorsal vessel segmentally via capillaries that pass enar intestine(nutrient absorption) and through skin (gasous exchange)
Physiology of Earthworm • Respiration- moist skin-gaseous exchange between outside and capillaries of skin -blood contains hemoglobin to aid in gas transport • Nervous system- brain with segmented ganglia -skin richly supplied with sensory receptors • Reproduction- sexual hermaphroditic -male-testes seminal vesicles with opening -female-ovaries with oviducts and -seminal receptacles and clitellum
Mollusca • A. Characteristics • 3 body zones: head/foot for sensory • Visceral mass for organs • Mantle membrane covering visceral mass that secretes shell and has cavity Mantle Cavity – lungs or gills, excretion and reproduction 1-way digestive tract Open circulation system Radula – rasp-like file vs. filter feeder (siphons)
