Study Notes
Annelids: Characteristics and Features
- Riftia sp., a type of Vestimentiferan, has a characteristic of lacking a mouth and digestive system.
Clitellata
- The main function of the clitellum in Clitellata organisms, such as Lumbricus sp. and Pheretima sp., is for reproduction and mucus secretion.
Echiura (Spoon Worms)
- A characteristic of the Echiura, such as Bonellia sp., is that they have a proboscis and a pair of setae on the ventral side of the body.
Bonellia sp. (Green Spoonworm)
- The key difference between the male and female Bonellia sp. is that the male is much smaller than the female and has a shorter lifespan.
Oligochaeta
- A characteristic of Oligochaeta, such as Lumbricus sp. and Pheretima sp., is that they have setae on their body.
Riftia sp. (Vestimentiferans) vs. Frenulata Vestimentum (Innkeeper Worms)
- Riftia sp. and Frenulata Vestimentum differ in their trunk structures, with Riftia sp. having a more complex trunk.
Annelid Anatomy
- The primary function of the setae in annelids is for movement and burrowing.
- Metamerism refers to the segmented body structure of annelids, with each segment having similar features.
- The primary mode of respiration in annelids is through the skin.
Polychaeta
- A key feature that distinguishes the subclass Errantia within the class Polychaeta is that they are more mobile and have a more complex body structure.
Annelid Reproduction
- The term 'dioecious' in the context of annelid reproduction means that the species has separate sexes, with males and females.
Polychaete Annelids
- The primary function of the parapodia in polychaete annelids is for movement and sensing the environment.
Clamworms
- Clamworms do not have a characteristic of having a segmented body.
Sabellida
- The primary function of the prostomium in clamworms is for sensing the environment.
- A key characteristic of the order Sabellida is that they have a feathery branchial crown.
Siboglinum sp. (Frenulate Worms)
- The primary source of energy for the Siboglinum sp. is through chemosynthesis, with the help of symbiotic bacteria.
Order Sabellida and Order Terbellida
- A characteristic shared by both the Order Sabellida and the Order Terbellida is that they have a segmented body.
Siboglinum sp. vs. Urechis sp.
- The primary difference between the Siboglinum sp. and the Urechis sp. in terms of their reproduction is that Siboglinum sp. has a more complex reproductive structure.
