Chapter 13 Invertebrates Part II Mollusks, Worms, Arthropods & Echinoderms
Ch 13.1 - Mollusks A. Mollusks – soft bodied invertebrates with bilateral symmetry and usually 1 or 2 shells 1. Mantle – thin layer of tissue that covers organs and secretes shell 2. Mantle Cavity – b/w body and mantle; sometimes contains gills
3. Open Circulatory System – blood moves in open spaces around organs 4. Sensory Organs – well developed head and mouth
B. Mollusks are classified into 3 groups 1. Gastropods – have 0 or 1 shell a) Include snails, conchs and slugs
2. Bivalves – have hinged 2 part shell a) Include clams, oysters and scallops
3. Cephalopods – most complex mollusks; shell secreted internally a) Include squid, octopuses, cuttlefish and chambered nautiluses
b) Well developed head and many tentacles for capturing prey c) Closed Circulatory System – all blood in vessels d) Fossils date to more than 500 million years ago e) Jet Propulsion – move at 6 m/s
C. Uses of Mollusks 1. Food for people and other animals 2. Pearls and shells used for jewelry and decorations
Ch 13.2 – Segmented Worms A. Segmented worms – AKA annelids 1. Bilateral symmetry 2. Body cavity with organs 3. Two body openings (mouth & anus)
5. Includes earthworms, marine worms and leeches 4. Setae – bristle-like structures used to hold on to and move in the soil
B. Earthworms - more than 100 segments 1. Move with 2 sets of muscles 2. Have closed circulatory system and small brain 3. Breath through mucus covered skin 4. Are hermaphrodites but must exchange sperm with another worm
5. Digestive System a) Mouth – ingests soil b) Crop – food storage area c) Gizzard – grinds food d) Intestines – releases nutrients e) Anus – eliminates wastes which fertilizes soil
C. Marine Worms – (AKA polychaetes) have segments with setae in bundles 1.Some are sessile and build tubes around their bodies for protection
D. Leeches – segmented worms w/o setae that feed on blood of other animals
1. Used in medicine to prevent blood from coagulating after surgery
2. Chemicals released being studied as treatments for heart disease, strokes, arthritis and glaucoma
E. Uses of Segmented Worms 1. Aerate soil 2. Provide food for fish 3. Produce medically useful chemicals F. Seg. Worms probably evolved in the sea and had a common ancestor w/ mollusks
Ch 13.3 - Arthropods A. Characteristics 1. Jointed appendages 2. Bilateral symmetry 3. Most species have separate sexes 4. Some have body segments while others have fused areas called regions
5. Exoskeletons – hard, thick outer covering that protects and supports a) Molting – process of shedding and replacing the exoskeleton
B. Insects 1. Have 3 body regions: a) Head – antennae, eyes & mouth b) Thorax – 6 legs & wings (if present) c) Abdomen – reproductive structures, open-circulatory sys. & respiratory sys. - contains pores for gas exchange called spiracles
2. Undergo Metamorphosis – series of changes in body from birth to adult a) Incomplete Metamorphosis - egg, nymph, adult
b) Complete Metamorphosis - egg, larva, pupa, adult
3. Eat plants, blood, nectar, wood, decaying materials, and cloth a) mouth parts are diverse and adapted to their diet
4. Insects are successful due to: a) exoskeltons b) ability to fly c) rapid reproductive cycles d) small size
C. Arachnids 1. Have 2 body regions a) Cephalothorax – head & chest; b) Abdomen – reproductive structures 2. Includes spiders, scorpions, mites & ticks
a) Spiders – 8 legs & no antennae; cannot chew their food so they have venom glands that release enzymes to digest food into a liquid then suck it in
b) Scorpions – have sharp, poison-filled stinger at the end of their abdomen
c) Mites – many are plant and animal parasites but some are not such as ones that live in human eyelash follicles; look like tiny specs to human eye
d) Ticks – all are parasites that attach to host’s skin and suck blood; many carry disease
