s Sponges Sole member of the Parazoa Lack true tissues, simplest animals, no nerves

or muscles Choanocytes (collar cells) “Unique

flagellated cells that ingest bacteria and tiny food particles”

Choanocytes look a lot like Choanoflagellates Amoebocytes transfer food to rest of cells Adults sessile, larvae non-sessile “Cells tend to be totipotent (retain zygote’s

ability to form the whole animal)”

grasping threads at potential prey Gastrovascular cavity (only one opening) =

gastrovascular cavity Eyespots No circulatory system (instead diffusion) Tapeworms have no digestive system Use ventral cilia to locomote across surfaces

(but some can swim) Ganglia-processing centers

approximate the protozoan niche

tics

Round worms (including pinworms & hookworms)

Cuticle that keeps them from drying out Pseudocoelamates—pseudocoelom is used as

a hydrostatic skeleton There are many free-living nematodes as well

as parasitic nemotodes Only longitudinal muscles—whip-like motions Include Trichenella spiralis, Ascaris, and the

filarial worm

Basic body plan built around a muscular foot, a visceral mass, and a mantle

Not all mollusks have a shell Mollusks lack segmentation Most have an open circulatory system Some (cephalopods) have a closed circulatory

system

Protostomes with segmented bodies, jointed appendages, and hard (chitinous) exoskeletons

Also have well-developed senses and open circulation (remember the terms hemocoel and hemolymph)

s Sea stars (Class Asteroida), brittle stars (Class

Ophiuroidea), sea urchin (Class Echinoidea), sea lilies (Class Crinoidea), sea cucumbers (Class Holothuroidea), sea daisies (Class Concentricycloidea)

Coelomates, Deuterostomes Multiple arms, tube feet, water vascular

system, calciferous endoskeleton Larvae are bilaterally symmetrical and adult

forms appear to have radial symmetry (though they are not truly radial animals)

• All 7,000 or so species of echinoderms are marine.• Examples are:

– sea stars– brittle stars– sea urchins– sea lilies and feather stars– sea cucumbers– sea daisies– sand dollars
