Invertebrates

1. Invertebrates Chapter 2 March/April, 2012

2. Invertebrates • Invertebrates • 1. Animals without a backbone • 2. Come in many different shapes and sizes • Can be compared by looking at: • 1. Type of body plan • 2. Whether or not the animal has a head • 3.The way food is digested

3. Body Plans • Invertebrates have 2 basic body types or types of symmetry • Definition of Symmetry • exact reflection of the form on opposite sides of a dividing line or plane

4. Bilateral Symmetry • 1. Bilateral symmetry • 2 similar halves • If you draw a line there are 2 similar halves on each side

5. Radial Symmetry • 2. Radial symmetry • Body parts are arranged in a circle around a central point

6. Asymmetrical • 3. Asymmetrical • No symmetry

7. 3 Types of Symmetry

8. Presence or Absence of Head • 1. All animals except for sponges have nerves • 2. Nerves- carry signals to control movements of the body • 3. Simple invertebrates have nerves arranged in nerve cords throughout the body • These simple animals have no brain or head

9. Presence or Absence of Head • Some invertebrates have • A. Dozens of nerve cells that come together and are called GANGLIA • B. Ganglia • Are found throughout the body controlling different parts

10. Presence or Absence of Head • C. More complex animals have a brain and a head…………where the brain is stored • D. Brain controls many different nerves in different parts of the body

11. Bell Work • 1. What are nerves cells that help to control movement of different body parts? • 2. What is a part of the animal that is a pouch lined with cells that help break down food? • 3. What type of symmetry has 2 similar halves?

12. Don’t you have any guts? • 1. Almost all animals digest food in the central gut • A. Gut • Pouch lined with cells that break down food • B. These enzymes break down food in smaller particles so that cells can absorb them

13. 2. Complex animals have a space in the body for the gut A. called a coelom B. Space in the bodies for the gut C. Allows the gut to move food without interference from movements of the body D. Other organs like the heart and lung are in the coelom but separated from the gut Don’t you have any guts?

14. Sponges • Phylum: Porifera • 1. Simplest animals • 2. Asymmetrical • 3. Regeneration- ability to replace itself. New sponges can form from pieces broken off another sponge • 4. If cells are separated, they can come back together and form a sponge

15. 1. Water enters the sponge through its pores. Pore cells pump water into the sponge. 2. Inside the sponge, cells called collar cells, filter food and microorganisms from the water 3.Then the water flows into the central cavity and out the top of the sponge through a hole called a osculum How do sponges eat?

16. Cnidarians • Phylum: Cnidaria • 1. Cnidaria means “nettles” Nettles are plants that release stinging barbs in the skin • 2. Morecomplex than a sponge • 3. Have complex tissues, a gut, and a nervous system • 4. In some of these species, if the cells are separated they can come back together like a sponge

17. 5.Come in 2 forms a. Medusa- looks like a mushroom with tentacles b. Polyp- look like a vase and are usually attached to a surface Cnidarians

18. 5. 3 classes a. hydras- live in fresh water b. jelly fish- usually have medusa form c. anemones and corals usually have polyps forms Cnidarians

19. “Catching Lunch” 7.All cnidarians have long tentacles covered in stinging cells that catch small fish and other organisms by having these stinging cells that release paralyzing toxin Cnidarians

20. Cnidarians • 8. Cnidarians do not think • 9.They have a simple network of nerve cells called a nerve net that controls movement • 10. Medusa have a nerve ring that allows them to swim

21. 1. Simplest group of worms “Planarians” 2. Bilateral symmetry 3. Have a head and eye spots 4. 2 sensory lobes on each side of its head used for finding food Flatworms

22. 5. Small- usually size of your fingernail 6. Live in water and land 7. Predators (eat on other animals or their parts) 8. Has head, eyespots, sensory lobes and a small brain Planarians

23. 1. Parasites 2. Live inside other animals bodies 3. Host is usually killed 4. Have heads without eyespots or sensory lobes 5. No stomachs, they absorb nutrients of their host Flukes and Tapeworms

24. 1. Have a simple nervous system and a primitive brain 2. Parasites 3. Live in their host 4. Pinworms and hookworms infect humans! Roundworms

25. Mollusks and Annelid Worms

26. Mollusks and Annelid Worms • More complex than the invertebrates that we have studied so far • Have a • 1. Coelom • 2. Circulatory system

27. Mollusks • 1. Phylum: Mollusca • 2. Second largest phylum of animals • 3. Includes • Snails • Slugs • Clams • Oysters • Squid • Octopuses

28. Mollusks • 3 Classes • 1. Gastropods (slugs and snails) • 2. Bivalves (clams and other two-shelled shellfish) • 3. Cephalopods (squids and octopuses)

29. 1. Most mollusks live in the ocean 2. Some live in fresh water 3. Soft body 4.Usually covered by a shell Mollusks Characteristics

30. 4 Main Parts of Mollusks 1.Foot- large muscle that mollusks use to move • Gastropods foot secrete mucus to help it slide 2.Visceral mass-contains gills, gut, and other organs in the coelom 3.Mantle- covers the visceral mass and protects the body of mollusks that don’t have a shell 4. Shell- protects the mollusks from predators and keeps them from drying out

31. 1. Clams and bivalves stay in one place and filter tiny plants, bacteria and other particles from the water How do mollusks eat?

32. 2. Octopuses and squids use tentacles just like we use our fingers How do mollusks eat?

33. 3. Snails and slugs eat with a tongue covered in curved teeth called radula 4. Slugs and snails use the radula to scrape algae off rocks, or pieces of leaves off plants How do mollusks eat?

34. Open circulatory system- simple heart pumps blood through blood vessels that empty into spaces in the animals body called sinuses Closed circulatory system- heart pumps blood through blood vessels that form a closed loop (cephalopods have closed system) Circulatory System

35. Brain • Mollusks have complex ganglia • 1. That control breathing • 2. Move the foot • 3. Control digestion • Cephalopods have a more complex nervous system than any other mollusk

36. Brain • 3. Octopus can find their way through a maze, pick out different shapes and colors, and when given bricks or stones will build a cave to hide in……………… SCARY!!!!!!!!!

37. Annelid Worms • Phylum: Annelida • Characteristics • 1. Segments- identical or almost identical repeating body parts • 2. Have a coelum • 3. Have a closed circulatory system • 4. Ganglia in each segment • 5. Brain found in the head and a nerve cord that connects the brain to the ganglia

38. Annelid Worms (3 Classes) 1st Class are Earthworms • A. Most common are annelids • B. Some segments are specialized for eating and reproduction • C. Break down matter in the soil and excrete wastes called castings • D. When they burrow in soil, they allow water and air to reach deep in the soil • E. Stiff bristles on the outside of their body help them move

39. Bristle Worms • 2nd Class is Bristle Worms • A. Come in many and bright colors • B. Live in water and burrow through sand and mud to find food • C. Some crawl on the bottom and eat mollusks and other small animals

40. Leeches • 3rd Class are leeches • A. Some are parasites and suck other animals’ blood, others eat dead animals • B. Doctors used to use them to “suckthe bad blood” out of patients • C. Today some doctors use them to prevent swelling near a wound • D. Leeches also make a chemical that keeps blood from clotting

41. Bell Work • 1. What are the 3 main classes of mollusks? • 2. How do herbivorous snails and slugs use their radula to get food?

42. Arthropods

43. Arthropods 75% of all animals are arthropods Characteristics of arthropods • 1. Jointed limbs • 2. Segmented body with specialized parts • 3. Well-developed nervous system

44. Jointed limbs gives arthropods their names “Arthro” means joint “Pod” means foot Jointed limbs are arms, legs, or other similar body parts Jointed limbs let arthropods to move easily Jointed Limbs

45. Segmented and Specialized • 1. Most segments in arthropods are identical • 2. Some segments include specialized parts such as • A. wings • B. antenna • C. gills • D. pincers • E. claws

46. Segmented and Specialized • 3. These specialized parts form during the animal’s development • A. head • B. thorax • C. abdomen

47. 4. Exoskeleton- external (outside) skeleton on arthropods made of protein and chitin A. does the same thing as an internal skeleton B. allows the animal to move C. all muscles attach to the exoskeleton and move that part of the animal when the muscles contract D. acts like a suit of armor to protect internal organs and muscles Segmented and Specialized

48. Segmented and Specialized • 5. All arthropods have a head and a well developed brain • 6. Some arthropods can detect light but can not form an image • 7. Some arthropods can see images because they have compound eyes • Compound eyes- are made of identical light-sensitive cells

49. 1. Arthropods are classified according to the kinds of body parts they have 2. They are classified by their number of legs, and the antennae they have 3. Antennae- are the feelers that arthropods use for touch, taste, and smell Kinds of Arthropods

50. Insects • 1. Largest group of arthropod • 2. Insects live everywhere EXCEPT the ocean • 3.Insects are beneficial when they • A. pollinate • 4. Insects are harmful when they • A. eat crops • B. carry diseases
