Phylum Acoelomorpha
P: Acoelomorpha -small flat worms (not flatworms) -live in marine sediments; few pelagic
Acoelomorpha Characteristics part 1
•Rootlets of epidermal cilia form interconnecting network •Most free living, some commensal, some parasitic •Bilateral symmetry, body flattened dorsoventrally, anterior concentration of nerve cells •Epidermis cellular •Gut absent or incomplete and saclike
Acoelomorpha Characteristics part 2
•Mesdermal muscle cells: longitudinal, circular, diagonal •Radially arranged nerve cords •Asexual reproduction by fragmentation •Monoecious sexual reproduction via internal fertilization •No excretory or respiratory system
Phylum Playhelminthes
P: Playhelminthes from platys=flat & helmins=worms -real flat worms -free living or parasitic
Turbellaria
-cellular, cilliated epidermis -rhadbites - rod shaped, fill with water for protection -dual gland adhesive organs glands for adhesion glands for unsticking -have multiple types of muscle fibers under epidermis -digestion is extracellular and intracellular
Parasitic flatworms
-syncytial teguments as a covering many nuclei in a single cell membrane resistant to the immune system of the host -have multiple types of muscle fibers under epidermis -no digestive system rely on host to break down food many have blind ended intestine -digestion is extracellular…
protonephridia
flatworms use ... for simple waste excretion and osmoregulation -most waste excreted across body wall
flame ell
Protonephridia has a unique flame cell that is shaped like a cup with a tuft of flagella -Flagella draws fluid through the weir, which acts as a collecting net for particles
Nervous and sensory systems
some have longitudinal nerve cords -nerves organized into distinct types sensory motor association well developed tactile and chemo reception more developed senses than cnidarians
Ocelli
photosensitive eyespots
statocyts
equilibrium
rheoreceptors
sensing water currents
Phylum Platyhelminthes
-flatworms, free-living turbellarians, parasitic flukes, tapeworms -most marine but some freshwater -acolemates -digestive gut to present with no anus -bilateral symmetry -first to have cephaliztion (sensory/nervous tissue into head end of body) -three tissue layers: endoderm, mesod…
Phylum Platyhelminthes Reproduction
Reproduce Sexually & Asexually -asexual (great regenerators) fission fragmentation -sexual most monecious but cross fertilize most have free swiming larve
Class Turbellaria
P: Platyhelminthes C: Turbellaria -mostly free living worms -creep along that use muscles and cillia to move
Class Trematoda (Subclass Digenea)
P: Platyhelminthes C: Trematoda SC: Digenea -All parasitic flukes; almost all are adult vertebrate parasites. -Many species of medical and economic importance -complex life cycle -intermediate and definitive hosts Adults inhabitat lots of organ systems digestive,respiratory, c…
Genus clonorchis Subclass digenea
P: Platyhelminthes C: Trematoda SC: Digenea genus clonochis -human liver fluke -ingested via undercooked fish -Intermediate host: snail -final host: vertebrate
Clonochis -human liver fluke
Shelled embryo or larvae excreted to water Miracidium (free swimming larvae) turn into sporocyst. Sporocyst penetrates snails (mollusks) and reproduce asexually creating more sporocyst or rediae. Rediae reproduce asexually making cercariae develop into metacercariae (juvenile flukes…
genus Schistoma Subclass Digenea
P: Platyhelminthes C: Trematoda SC: Digenea genus schistoma human blood fluke -dioecious (seperate houses) -intermediate host: snail -definitive host: humans/vertebrates -cercaira penetrates skin, infect the intestinal veins and cause enlargement of other o…
Schistoma - blood fluke
Eggs discharged in human waste if they make it into water, hatch as miracidia Miracidia get into snail creating sporocyst which makes more sporocyst give rise to cercariae; NO REDIAE cercariae swim until contact human skin burrow in, find blood vessel, and burrow into that vessel S…
Swimmer's itch
-North American natural lakes -Normal hosts are birds -bore into humans by mistake die, releasing irritating chemicals resembles mosquito bites
Paragonimus - lung fluke
Eggs coughed out of lungs, swallowed, eliminated through feces Zygotes develop in water Miracidium finds snail Miracidium, then rediae, then cercariae Cercariae shed into water or ingested by crabs eating snails Metacercariae develop in crabs You eat undercooked crab, get them, and …
Class Monogenea
P: Platyhelminthes C: Monogenea -All parasites, usually on gills of fish. Few in turtles, frogs, and hippos eyes. -Usually not terrible for host -Direct life cycle egg makes ciliated larvae called oncomiracidium hooks to host on posterior end with an opisthaptor
opisthaptor
P: Platyhelminthes C: Monogenea -hooks to host on posterior end that is located on the oncomiracidium (ciliated larvae)
oncomiracidium
P: Platyhelminthes C: Monogenea -the ciliated larva the egg hatches into. -it attaches to a host sometimes following a free swimming stage (flatworm- monogenea)
Class Cestoda
P: Platyhelminthes C: Cestoda -tapeworms front end is a scolex with hooks for attatchment repeating reproductive segments called proglottids, chain of these is the strobila -no digestive system -entire body covered in microtriches -self fertilize, but prefer cross fertilization …
Scolex
P: Platyhelminthes C: Cestoda -hooks for attachedment
proglottids
P: Platyhelminthes C: Cestoda -repeating reproductive segments chains of this is strobilia
Phylogeny of Playhelminthes
Turbellaria is paraphyletic
Planuoid ancestor hypothesis
–One branch becomes radially/biradially symmetrical and becomes Cnidaria, other branch becomes bilaterally symmetrical and becomes Platyhelmonthes.
Platyhelminthes
-Platyhelminthes may not be monophyletic Parasitic trematoda monogenea cestoda
Phylum mesozoa
fr mesos=middle & zoon=animal -missing link between protozoa and metazoa -all parasites or symbionts 20-30 cells in two pairs -two groups rhombozoans orthonectids
rhombozoans
Cephalopod mollusc kidney parasites, life cycle: vermiform adults asexually make larvae that grow and sexually reproduce under crowded conditions. Larvae shed in host urine into water.
Orthonectids
Invertebrate parasites, life cycle: sexual and asexual phases, asexual phase known as a plasmodium, divides to form distinct males and females
Phylum Nemertea
P: Nemertea -ribbon worms -fr greek nemertes = one of the nereids, unerring one -refers to sharp aim of proboscis -thread or ribbon shaped -bilaterally symmetrical worms -several meters in length -live in gelatinous tubes made of self secreted material
Nemertean Characteristics pt 1
•Eversible proboscis, unique to Nemerteans •Mostly free living, a few parasitic •Bilateral symmetry, cylindrical anteriorly and flattened posteriorly •True coelomic cavity called a rhyncocoel •Complete digestive system •Four lobed brain
Nemertean Characteristics pt 2
•Sensory ciliated head slits •Asexual reproduction by fragmentation •Sexes separate, pilidium larvae •Flame cells •Blood vascular system •No respiratory system
Nemertean basics
-glide over slime trails -mouth anterior and ventral; digestive tract complete -cilia move food through intestine. digestion mostly extracellular in gut lumen -seize prey with a proboscis, and pulled into rhynchocoel -True circulatory system; blood flow maintained by body movements an…
