Classifications
Phylum porifera - Sponges
Phylum Cnidiaria - Hydras, Jellyfish & Corals
3 ClassesPhylum Nematoda- Includes 3 types of worms we discussed, the Ascaria, Necator and Trichinella,1) Hydrozoa- Includes the hydras as a freshwater example.
2) Tremetoda- The flukes
3) Cestoda- The tapeworm
Sponges
1) Filter Feeders & WhyThe Cnidarians- Tentacles which contain cnidocytes which are the stinging cell that have nematocysts which is the structure that allows toxin to go into prey.
2) Sessile
3) Composition - Spicules of Calcium Carbonate, or Silicon Dioxide
Spongin- Network of gel like material for structure
Amoebacytes - Carrier cells of nutrients, waste and sperm
Choanocytes- Collar cells- flegellated cells which cause water movement
4)Reproduction-
Asexual- Regeneration
Gemmule Production
Sexual- Hermaphrodites- What insures that no self fertiliztion occurs.
The simple worms
Bilateral symmetry- only one plane can pass through
its longitudinal axis to give 2 equal halves. The bodies are solid
and exhange between the worm and environment comes at the outer cells because
most of the cells of the organism are directly linked to environment.
Endoparasites-
Ectoparasites-
Tegument- occurs in endoparasites so they are not
digested in the digestive system of the host.
Fluke life cycle & transmission
Tapeworm
Scolex- head of tapeworm
which has hooks and suckers
Proglottids- individual
segments of the tapeworm, which is where the eggs are at also.
Acoelomate body plan means there is no internal body cavity
for organs to be contained
Roundworms
Ascaris- picked up from improper hygien and fecal
waste, know the cylce in the body.
Necator- Hookworms bore into the feet, get into
the bloodstream, and destroy the blood cells causing anemia.
Trichinella- cause from eating undercooked pork,
what are several things we do today to prevent Trichinosis.
