    Study Notes

    Bilaterian Animals

    • Almost all bilaterian animals belong to either of the clades Protostomia and Deuterostomia.

    Protostomia

    • The two major groups of protostome are Lophotrochozoa and Ecdysozoa.
    • Lophotrochozoa includes mollusks, annelids, and platyhelminthes.
    • Ecdysozoa includes arthropods and nematodes.

    Flatworms

    • Flatworms are found in aquatic and in moist terrestrial environments.

    Tapeworms

    • Immediately after release from the proglottid, tapeworm embryos are scattered in the environment.

    Rotifera

    • Rotifera are tiny, bilaterally symmetrical pseudocoelomates that often live in freshwater environments.
    • They use adhesive toes for clinging on vegetation and other solid objects.

    Deuterostomia

    • In deuterostomes, the blastopore gives rise to the anus.

    Mollusca

    • Squid, octopuses, chitons, snails, clams, and oysters are all members of the phylum Mollusca.
    • The basic body plan of a mollusk consists of three parts: a muscular foot, a visceral mass, and a mantle.
    • The mantle of a mollusk is an epidermal sheet covering the dorsal side of the body.
    • The shell of a mollusk is secreted by the outer surface of its mantle.
    • The muscular foot of a mollusk may be adapted for locomotion, attachment, food capture, or digging.

    Annelida

    • Annelids are segmented worms, with a body built of repeated units.
    • Each segment of an annelid contains a ganglion, excretory organs, and locomotory structures.
    • Annelids have a closed circulatory system.

    Lophotrochozoa

    • Lophotrochozoa includes phyla such as Bryozoa, Brachiopoda, Phoronida, and Micrognathozoa.
    • Bryozoans are small and live in colonies, and have a lophophore.
    • Brachiopods or lamp shells have two calcified shells, and their anus opens near their mouth.

    Ecdysozoa

    • Ecdysozoa includes phyla such as Arthropoda, Nematoda, and Tardigrada.
    • Arthropods have a role in the pollination of crops, the destruction of crops, and the spreading of serious diseases.
    • The class Hexapoda includes insects.
    • The class Myriapoda includes centipedes and millipedes.
    • The class Chelicerata includes organisms with mouthparts modified as pincers or fangs, and bodies consisting of two tagmata.

    Other Phyla

    • Platyhelminthes are flatworms with a body plan that resembles a flatworm.
    • Rotifera are tiny, bilaterally symmetrical pseudocoelomates.
    • Micrognathozoa have a complete gut and are pseudocoelomate.
