CLAM DISSECTION
http://www.jburroughs.org/science/resources/Clam/clam10.html
CLAMS ARE:
Invertebrates-
no bones around nerve cord
Protostomes-
blastopore becomes mouth
determinate spiral cleavage http://www.zo.utexas.edu/faculty/sjasper/images/so28_04.gif
Clam & octopus from: http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/2428/directory.html
CLAM DISSECTION
KINGDOM ___________
PHYLUM ____________ “Soft”
CLASS ______________ “2 shells”
ANIMALIA
MOLLUSCA
BIVALVIA
(Pelecypoda)
UMBO tells direction
Anterior
Posterior
Dorsal
Ventral

Clams are SESSILE
as ADULTS
Don’t move much
Stay in one place
LARVA
swim with
CILIA

NO CEPHALIZATION (No head)
Shell = valve (Bivalvia = 2 shells)
Growth rings - increase with age

ADDUCTOR MUSCLES
Turn POSTERIOR END toward door Cut your adductor muscles to open shell

ANTERIOR & POSTERIOR ADDUCTORS
FOOT – points toward anterior end
VISCERAL MASS Contains heart, digestive, excretory, reproductive
Mantle cavity (NOT COELOM)
NO cephalization
Gills hang OUTSIDE body in mantle cavity

Hinge
Teeth on dorsal edge lock to keep shells from sliding
Smooth lining
Irritants are
coated by mantle
to protect soft
body
“Pearls”

Mantle produces shell (calcium carbonate makes it hard)
INCURRENT & EXCURRENT
SIPHONS
CILIA on gills pull in water
move food
up toward
mouth

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
SEPARATE SEXES
Male & female clams
General term for reproductive organs
= GONADS
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION Marine (salt water) clams-
external fertilization
(sperm or eggs exit through siphon)
Freshwater clams-
internal fertilization (sperm enters through siphon; fertilized eggs/larva exit )
Other mollusks
GASTROPODS- internal fertilization
Land snails = hermaphrodites
Aquatic snails = 2 separate sexes
CEPHALOPODS- internal fertilization
Separate sexes –

Indirect development TROCHOPHORE LARVA
Ciliated- can swim
ADULTS-
Sessile = stay in one place
Can put out foot and crawl

GILLS Trap food (PALPS move it forward)
Ridges for more surface area
(like typhlosole)
Gas exchange
Diffusion moves
oxygen & CO2 across membrane
GAS EXCHANGE IN GILLS
Image by Riedell
Diffusion moves from HIGH → LOW
OPEN CIRCULATION
• Blood flows loose inside coelom
and tissue spaces
• Heart pumps blood (HEMOLYMPH)
• COELOM = SMALLER
mainly around heart
= pericardial cavity
OPEN CIRCULATION is less efficient way of moving oxygen,
nutrients, and nitrogen waste
1. Doesn’t go directly to parts
2. High oxygen and low oxygen blood can
mix so it gets diluted
HEART & PERICARDIAL CAVITY
DIGESTIVE • FILTER FEEDERS (strain food from water)
• Food pulled in through incurrent siphon by
cilia moving on gills
• Food trapped in mucous on gills
• Palps move food up and into mouth
esophagus stomach
Digestive
gland
Intestine anus
DIGESTIVE GLAND
Makes BILE to break down fat
Finishes digestion
http://wwwbio200.nsm.buffalo.edu/labs/tutor/Clam/
INTESTINE
carries digestive waste to anus
http://www.jburroughs.org/science/resources/Clam/clam10.html
3 Body systems use mantle cavity
EXCRETORY - Nitrogen waste from kidney
DIGESTIVE – feces released from anus
REPRODUCTIVE-
Sperm or egg (if external fertilization)
Larva (if internal fertilization)

NERVOUS SYSTEM
3 pairs of ganglia
2 pairs of nerve cords
