    Study Notes

    • The majority of animals are classified in the evolutionary group known as Bilateria, characterized by bilateral symmetry.

    • Within the Bilateria clade, there are three subdivisions: Deuterostomia, Ecdysozoa, and Lophotrochozoa.

    • The Lophotrochozoa clade is a diverse group of animals, including Platyhelminthes, Annelids, Mollusca, and others.

    • Platyhelminthes, also known as flatworms, have a flattened body, compressed dorsoventrally, and are characterized by cephalization.

    • Platyhelminthes have a head region with sensory organs, including Oracle (chemo-receptors) and eye spots that detect light.

    • They have a gastrovascular cavity with a single opening for food and waste, and a hydrostatic skeleton that relies on a tough cuticle, muscle cells, and water pressure.

    • Subdivisions of Platyhelminthes include Turbellaria (free-living flatworms), Trematoda (flukes, parasitic flatworms), and Cestoda (tapeworms).

    • Turbellaria, such as planarians, are free-living and feed on decomposing matter or other organisms.

    • Trematoda, such as liver flukes, are parasitic and require multiple hosts to complete their life cycle.

    • Cestoda, such as tapeworms, are parasitic and have a chain-like body composed of individual segments (proglottids) that are attached to each other.

    • Rotifera, also known as wheel animals, are characterized by the presence of a corona (a ring of cilia) that creates a spinning motion.

    • Rotifera have a complete digestive system, a pseudo-coelom (a cavity between the ectoderm and endoderm), and are mostly parthenogenetic (reproducing without mating).

    • Brachiopoda, also known as lamp shells, are characterized by a feeding structure called a lofophore.

    • Brachiopoda have a mouth surrounded by cilia and a hard exoskeleton that is secreted by the mantle.

    • Ectoprocta, also known as bryozoans, are marine animals that form colonies and have a hard exoskeleton.

    • Mollusca, such as mollusks, are characterized by the presence of a mantle, a soft body, and a well-developed muscular foot.

    • Mollusca have a coelom (a body cavity) that is reduced in size, and a heart that is encased in the coelom.

    • Subdivisions of Mollusca include Polyplacophora (chitons), Gastropoda (snails and slugs), Bivalvia (clams and mussels), and Cephalopoda (octopuses and squids).

    • Annelids, such as earthworms and leeches, are characterized by the presence of a true coelom and a complete digestive system.

    • Annelids have a body that is divided into segments, each with a serial homolog (a similar structure), and some have setae (bristle-like extensions).

    • Earthworms are terrestrial annelids that are important for soil ecosystems.

    • Leeches are annelids that are parasitic and feed on the blood of other animals.

    • Some annelids, such as Christmas tree worms, have a concentration of sensory organs around the head region.- Earthworms can undergo asexual reproduction, where if cut in a specific location, each broken part can grow into a new worm, resulting in two worms from one.

    • Polykita is a class of annelids characterized by having many bristles, which can be seen on the lateral sides of the animal.

    • Oligokita is a class of annelids characterized by having few bristles, which can be felt as roughness on the body of an earthworm, similar to stubble on a man's face.

    • Earthworms are familiar animals, but some species in Australia can grow up to nine feet in length, comparable to the length of a python.

    • Hirudinea is a class of annelids that includes leeches, some of which are parasitic and secrete a numbing agent in their saliva, making it impossible to feel when they attach to the body.

    • Leeches can be found in waters and can attach to the body, but their local anesthetic properties make it difficult to detect their presence.

    • The clade Trochozoa includes a diverse range of invertebrates, including annelids and mollusks.
