BIOL 112 Study Guide - Final Guide: Lophophore, Trematode Life Cycle Stages, Trochophore
Document Summary
Describe how acoelomate, pseudocoelomate, and coelomate animals differ and give examples. Identify the characters that identify flatworms, lophophorates, molluscs and annelids. Molluscs - no lophophores; calcium carbonate shell. Annelids - segmented worms with septa; trochophore. Sessile vs mobile; depends on whether they burrow or attach. Identify the brachiopod clades and explain how they are adapted to their habitats. Lophophore - crown of ciliated tentacles that surround the mouth and serve a feeding function. Trochophore - larval stage present in annelids and molluscs. Auricles - projections on the side; sensory lobe. Ocelli - pigmented cups lined by sensory cells. Cups shade sensory cells from light in all directions but one. Rostellum - armed with two rings of hooks and a ring of four suckers holds it is place. Proglottid - segment; reproductive unit; formed by mitotic division in the neck area behind.
