  1. Acrobeles complexus Ch 33.6, 42.1, 42.5, 44.3 Pseudocoelomates “soo-doe-see-low-mates”

  2. Pseudocoelomates • 9 phyla: • Nematoda • Rotifera • Gastrotrichia • Nematomorpha • Acanthocephala • Loricifera • Kinoryncha • Priapulida • Entoprocta

  3. Plant ectoparasite A. lumbricoides Pseudocoelomates • A heterogeneous group: • Size: microscopic  several meters • some are exclusively marine; some (e.g., nematodes) live in a variety of habitats, esp. soil); and some are exclusively parasitic

  4. Pseudocoelomates • Common characteristics: • Pseudocoelom • Eutely • complete digestive tract (mouth and anus)

  5. Common characteristics: • Pseudocoelom • body cavity (pseudocoelom/ pseudocoel) • a space b/w gut and mesodermal components of body wall • Body cavity is not lined with a mesodermal sheet • Does not cover inner surface of body wall

  6. Common characteristics: • Pseudocoelom • No muscular tissue associated with gut tract • No membranes suspend organs in body cavity

  7. Pseudocoelom is spacious, fluid-filled • Contains visceral organs • Forms hydrostatic skeleton

  8. Evolutionary advantages of pseudocoel: • Greater freedom of movement • Space for development and differentiation of organ systems (ie. digestive, excretory) • differentiation: process by which cells become different, specialized • Simple means of circulation/distribution of materials throughout body • Storage place for waste products to be discharged to outside • Hydrostatic skeleton • Fluid enclosed by muscular wall  support

  9. Common characteristics: • Eutely • Body composed of constant number of somatic cells (or nuclei) in adults

  10. http://www.wormatlas.org/handbook/alimentary/alimentary2.htm Common characteristics: • complete digestive tract (mouth and anus) • Most other higher animals

  11. Do these questions now… • What type of germ layer lines the pseudocoelom in nematode embryos? • What organ systems are present/absent in pseudocoelomates • What are the advantages of having a pseudocoelom vs. no coelom?

  12. Pseudocoelomates • Organ systems present: • Digestive system • Excretory system • Nervous system • Reproductive system • Organ systems absent: • Circulatory system • Respiratory system

  13. Phylum Nematoda The roundworms

  14. Phylum Nematoda • 12,000 species • 500,000 possible • Cylindrical body • Mostly dioecious • Only longitudinal muscles • Undulate/thrash around (don’t crawl) movie

  15. Phylum Nematoda • Noncellular cuticle with several layers • Maintains internal hydrostatic pressure • Provides mechanical protection • Resists digestion by host (in parasitic nematodes)

  16. Phylum Nematoda (cont’d) • Found everywhere • Oceans • Polar ice • Hot springs • soil

  17. 5 billion per acre

  18. Phylum Nematoda (cont’d) • Eat just about every type of organic material • Rotting substance • Living tissue • Parasites of nearly all plant and animal species!

  19. Ascaris lumbricoides • Human parasite • Up to 30cm long • 1.2 billion people • Many in southeast US • Females lay 200,000 eggs a day • Unsanitary habits contaminate ground • Ingest eggs • Hatch  bury into veins  lungs  pharynx • Swallowed  intestine

  20. Pinworms • Most common parasite in US • 30% children; 16% adults • Large intestine • Lay eggs in anus at night • Spread • Fecal oral route

  21. Microfilaria of Wuchereria bancrofti Filarial Worms • “Elephantiatis” • 250 million people (tropics) • Lives in lymphatic system • Obstruct lymph to cause swelling

  22. Other parasitic nematodes • Hookworms • Dog heartworms • Trichinella (causes trichinosis)

  23. biomedical research • C. elegans

  24. C. elegans • Free living nematode • 959 cells • Development of every cell is known (movie) • Genome sequenced • NCBI

  25. Sydney Brenner • - C. elegans since 1963 • C. elegans • Nobel Prize (2002)Brenner, Sulston and Horvitz • “Genetic regulation of organ development and programmed cell death” http://www.nobel.se/medicine/laureates/2002/press.html

  26. Phylum Rotifera

  29. Phylum Rotifera • Aquatic (mostly freshwater) • Protonephridia with flame cells Internal Anatomy of a Typical Rotifer
