ARTHROPODS AND ECHINODERMS
KINGDOM : ANIMAL
PHYLUM : MOLLUSK
http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/206 excellent video wowowowowowowowow
MOLLUSCA OR
MOLLUSK both spelling which are accepted
characteristics: invertebrates,
soft bodied many covered with shells,
have a thin layer of tissue that covers internal organs- MANTLE -
also this tissue makes the shell
most have a muscular structure - FOOT - used to dig, move, and
catch prey
most live in water some live in damp places
bilateral symmetry
body plan in not repeated all internal organ are located together in one area
KIDNEYS- paired organ that removes waste
GILLS - remove oxygen from water by diffusion,
(in many the gills have cilia the beating action make water flow over the gills
and food can also be strained from water)
RADULA - many have a flexible ribbon of tiny teeth that scrape
food from a surface used to help in classification
CLASS :
GASTROPODA "STOMACH FOOT"

example snails and slugs, have one shell or no shell
are herbivores, scavengers or carnivores
can be hermaphrodites or display sexual dimorphism ( separate male and
female genders)
internal and external fertilization occurs
FOOT - makes mucus and the snail travels on top of it

http://www.arkive.org/garden-snail/helix-aspersa/video-09a.html snail
videos
RADULA - scrapes food off surfaces
www.pirx.com/gallery/

CLASS : PELEYCOPODA "HATCHET FOOT" ALSO CALLED
BIVALVES
examples : clams, oysters, mussels, scallops
BIVALVES - two shells held together with a hinge and strong
muscles
FILTER FEEDERS - strain food from the water using cilia on their
gills,
food sticks to mucus and is moved to mouth by cilia
reproduction : Fertilization is internal
Sperm are taken in through the female's incurrent siphon and fertilize eggs in
the gills.
Larvae develop leave the gill area through the excurrent
siphons
larvae are parasites on fish gills or fins
it remains attached to fish for two to three months.
larvae then breaks out of the fish to develop into an adult on the lake or river
bottom

PEARL FORMATION - sand, grit or even a parasite can become lodged between the mantle
and shell
mantle cells cover irritant
mantle forms smooth shell over object so the clam is protected

1. foot - digs and moves clam (muscular) 2. shell - protection (skeletal) 3. mouth - opening for food (digestive) 4. mantle - makes the shell and pearls, (skeletal) 5. anterior adductor muscle - closes shell, (muscular) 6. digestive gland - makes enzymes that break down food, (digestive) 7. umbo - start of the shell, (skeletal) 8 stomach - breaks down food, (digestive) 9. heart - pumps blood, (circulatory) 10 posterior adductor muscle - closes shell, (muscular) 11. anus - opening for waste, (excretory) 12. excurrent siphon (exhalant)- tube allow wastes to be removed, (respiratory) 13. incurrent siphon (inhalant)- tube that brings in food and water, (respiratory) 14.ganglion - nerve, (nervous) 15. gill - used for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, has cilia for filter feeding in clam, (respiratory) 16 nephridia (kidney) - filters liquid waste, (excretory) 17.intestine- breaks down and absorbs food (digestive), 18.gonad - produces sex cells, (reproductive) 19 brain - controls body activities, (nervous) 20. mouth flap - ( or called palps) (digestive) guide food to mouth. 21. esophagus - ( digestive) takes food from mouth to stomach. |

CLASS : CEPHALOPODA " HEAD FOOT"
http://www.arkive.org/common-octopus/octopus-vulgaris/video-00.html
example: squid, octopus
feet are adapted to form tentacles
suckers on tentacles help capture food, touch and taste objects
have excellent vision and a large brain they can remember what they learn
move by jet propulsion they squeeze a current of water out of the mantle and
shoot off in the opposite direction
CHAPTER 11 SECTION 2 ARTHROPODS
KINGDOM - ANIMAL
PHYLUM - ARTHROPODA " jointed
legs or foot"
examples:
grasshopper, crayfish, bugs, spiders
characteristics: invertebrate,
exoskeleton - outer skeleton
segmented body,
jointed appendages give flexibility and enable movement, (flying, walking,
defense, catching prey)
open circulatory system,
reproduce sexually, most have sexual dimorphism ( both male and female)
internal fertilization
EXOSKELETON -
outer skeleton to protect and help prevent evaporation of water
can not grow with body so must be shed
CHITIN -
makes up the exoskeleton made of
long-chain protein molecules is tough and flexible
MOLTING -
shedding of outgrown exoskeleton new skeleton is soft for a time
ANTENNA - appendages on
the head that contain sense organs for smell, taste, touch, and balance

CLASS - CRUSTACEAN crayfish, crabs
characteristics : have two or three
body sections
usually 3 pairs of appendages for chewing
2 pair of antenna
5 or more pair of legs
each body segment has a pair of legs or modified legs attached to it

on harmful insects, or are pollinators
BIOLOGICAL CONTROL - using one species that is a predator to
eliminate a harmful pest. these are less damaging to the environment that
insecticides

CHAPTER 11
SECTION 4
THE CHEMISTRY OF
COMMUNICATION
PHEROMONES - a chemical that is released by one animal that affects the behavior of another of the same species, communication used to locate food, attract mates and distinguish member of their own group from members of other groups
http://www.sfu.ca/chemistry/Research/fullimages/insects.jpg
BIOLUMINESCENCE - is a production of light by a living organism
the light is generated by chemical reaction can be used to attract mate example
: fireflies

characteristics; radial symmetry, invertebrate, endoskeleton, internal fluid
system
WATER VASCULAR SYSTEM - consists of fluid
(sea water) filled tubes within the echinoderm's body
water is
squeezed into tube feet
tube feet act
like suction cups and stick to surfaces, they move organism and help capture
food
REPRODUCTION: female releases eggs male releases sperm into water,
fertilization occurs, larvae develop and can swim

WATER VASCULAR SYSTEM (WVS)
1. Madreporite - small white circular area brings water into and out of wvs 2. Stone canal - limy tube from madreporite to ring canal. 3. Ring canal - hard, circular, around mouth region 4. Radial canal - from ring canal along each arm, connects canals to ampullae. 5. Ampullae - many, small, spherical, connect to tube feet fills up tube feet like eye dropper 6.
