Study Notes
Invertebrate Phyla
- Kingdom Animalia includes invertebrates and vertebrates
- Invertebrates lack a backbone
- Eight invertebrate phyla are: Porifera (sponges), Cnidaria (cnidarians), Platyhelminthes (flatworms), Nematoda (roundworms), Annelida (segmented worms), Mollusca (mollusks), Arthropoda (arthropods), and Echinodermata (echinoderms).
Invertebrate Characteristics
- Animals are eukaryotic, multicellular, and heterotrophic
- Animals have specialized cells
Trends in Animal Evolution
- Cell specialization
- Early development (protostomes vs. deuterostomes)
- Body symmetry (asymmetry, radial, bilateral)
- Cephalization (concentration of sensory organs at the head)
- Body cavity (acoelomate, pseudocoelomate, coelomate)
Phylum Porifera (Sponges)
- Porifera are aquatic, filter feeders
- They have a porous body and lack true tissues or organs.
- Their bodies are asymmetrical
- Sponges have a water flow system
- Water enters through pores, flows through the central cavity, and exits through an opening called the osculum.
- Sponges have amoeboid cells that build spicules which help digest food
Phylum Cnidaria (Cnidarians)
- Cnidarians have radial symmetry
- Cnidarians are primarily carnivorous
- Their bodies are composed of two layers of cells
- Cnidarians have a gastrovascular cavity with one opening
- Tentacles have nematocysts which inject toxins into prey
- Cnidarians can exist in polyp or medusa body forms
Phylum Platyhelminthes (Flatworms)
- Flatworms have bilateral symmetry
- They are unsegmented and have a simple body plan.
- Flatworms have a one opening digestive system
- Flatworms are free-living or parasitic
- Flatworms have a layered structure
- Ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm
Phylum Nematoda (Roundworms)
- Roundworms have bilateral symmetry
- They are unsegmented and have a complete digestive system with two openings.
- Roundworms have a fluid-filled pseudocoelom
- Roundworms are free-living or parasitic.
Phylum Annelida (Segmented Worms)
- Segmented worms exhibit bilateral symmetry; their bodies have numerous segments.
- Their digestive systems have two openings.
- They have a closed circulatory system and nephridia, excretory organs that filter wastes from the blood
- Annelids have a coelom body cavity
Class Polychaeta (Polychaetes)
- Polychaetes are primarily marine
- They have bristles on their segments called parapodia.
- They are mostly filter feeders
Class Oligochaeta (Oligochaetes)
- Oligochaetes include earthworms; they live in terrestrial and freshwater environments
- They have fewer bristles than polychaetes.
- Oligochaetes are largely detritivores
Class Hirudinea (Leeches)
- Leeches are mostly freshwater; some are terrestrial
- Leeches have suckers at both ends of their bodies and lack bristles
- Leeches are blood-sucking external parasites
Phylum Mollusca (Mollusks)
- Mollusks have a soft body
- Some mollusks, like the clams, have a shell
- A mollusk's body consists of a foot, mantle, shell, and visceral mass.
- Mollusks have bilateral symmetry.
- Mollusk digestive systems have two openings.
Class Bivalvia (Bivalves)
- Bivalves include clams, oysters, scallops, and mussels.
- They have two-part hinged shells and wedge-shaped feet for burrowing.
- They are mostly sessile as adults.
Class Gastropoda (Gastropods)
- Most have spiral, chambered shells
- Some gastropods lack shells completely; examples are snails and slugs.
- A distinctive head is present in gastropods
- Aquatic or terrestrial
Class Cephalopoda (Cephalopods)
- Cephalopods, such as octopuses, squids, nautiluses, and cuttlefish, have a closed circulatory system
- Their foot is divided into tentacles, and they have well-developed nervous systems.
Phylum Arthropoda (Arthropods)
- Arthropods have segmented bodies with jointed appendages
- Arthropods have exoskeletons made of chitin
- Arthropods possess an open circulatory system
- They undergo metamorphosis in some instances
- Arthropods have three germ layers, a coelom body cavity, bilateral symmetry, and a cephalized nervous system
Subphylum Trilobita (Trilobites)
- Trilobites are extinct marine arthropods; they were known from fossil records.
- Each appendage of the trilobite was divided into a gill and a walking leg
Subphylum Chelicerata (Chelicerates)
- Chelicerates have mouthparts called chelicerae (for biting or sucking) and pedipalps (for prey capture)
- Chelicerates may lack antennae but have two-part bodies
Subphylum Uniramia (Uniramians)
- Uniramians are primarily terrestrial; they have almost all terrestrial representatives
- They have one pair of antennae
- Centipedes, millipedes, and insects are all uniramians
Class Chilopoda (Centipedes)
- Centipedes have long bodies consisting of numerous segments and one pair of legs per segment
- They have poison claws for feeding
- Centipedes are carnivorous
Class Diplopoda (Millipedes)
- Millipedes possess long bodies with numerous segments and two pairs of legs per segment.
- Millipedes are mostly herbivorous
Class Insecta (Insects)
- Insects have three-part bodies (head, thorax, abdomen)
- Insects usually have three pairs of legs and one or two pairs of wings.
- Some insects undergo complete metamorphosis
Subphylum Crustacea (Crustaceans)
- Crustaceans are mostly aquatic and have two pairs of antennae
- Mouthparts are called mandibles, and their bodies are covered by a carapace
Phylum Echinodermata (Echinoderms)
- Echinoderms have radial symmetry as adults
- Echinoderms have a water vascular system that functions in locomotion and feeding; it transports fluid around an organism.
- Echinoderms have a calcareous endoskeleton
Sea Lilies and Feather Stars
- Sea lilies and feather stars are filter feeders
- Their feeding and respiration occur through feathery arms, and they have long feathery arms.
Sea Stars
- These echinoderms are star-shaped, carnivorous, and bottom dwellers
- Their mouths are on the bottom/lower part of their bodies, and their anuses are on top. Examples are crown-of-thorns, sea stars, and sun stars
Brittle Stars and Basket Stars
- Brittle stars and basket stars have small body disks and lack an anus
- Most of them are filter feeders or detritus feeders
Sea Urchins and Sand Dollars
- These echinoderms are covered in spines that comprise their shell
- They are mostly herbivorous or detritus feeders
Sea Cucumbers
- Sea cucumbers have leathery, cylindrical bodies with feeding tentacles on one end
- They are mostly detritus or filter feeders; the endoskeleton is greatly reduced
Invertebrate Systems
- Six major invertebrate systems include skeletal, digestive, circulatory, respiratory, excretory, and nervous.
- Invertebrates exhibit various skeletal systems, including exoskeletons and endoskeletons.
