Coelomate Invertebrates
Chapter 33
1
Coelomates
•
Coelomates have a new body design that
allows for the development of complex
tissues and organs.
– allows wider array of body architectures
and increased body size
2
Mollusks
•
Mollusks (Mollusca)
– extremely diverse
– characterized by a coelom
 great economic significance
 pearls
 mother of pearl
 economic / environmental costs
 zebra mussel invasion
 intermediate hosts for parasites
3
Body Plan of the Mollusks
•
•
•
•
Distinct bilateral symmetry
Digestive, excretory, and reproductive organs
are all concentrated in a visceral mass and a
muscular foot.
May have differentiated head
Folds constituting a mantle
– gills - increased surface area for gas
exchange
4
Body Plan of the Mollusks
•
•
•
•
Shells serve primarily for protection
Radula - rasping tongue-like organ used for
feeding
Circulatory system (except cephalopods)
consists of a heart and an open circulatory
system.
Nitrogenous wasted removed by nephridia
– nephrostome lined with cilia

Mollusk Body Plans

Body Plan of the Mollusks
•
Reproduction in mollusks
– most have distinct male and female
individuals
– most engage in external fertilization
– many have free-swimming larvae
(trochophores) which closely resemble
larval stage of many marine annelids
 veliger stage follows trochophore stage
7
Classes of Mollusks
•
•
Polyplacophora: chitons
– oval bodies with eight overlapping
calcareous plates
Gastropoda: snails and slugs
– heads of most have pair of tentacles with
eyes at the ends
– undergo torsion during
embryological development.
8
Classes of Mollusks
•
Bivalvia: bivalves
– clams, scallops, mussels and oysters
– two lateral shells hinged together dorsally
– mantle secretes shell and ligaments
– most are sessile filter-feeders
9
Classes of Mollusks
•
Cephalopoda: octopuses, squids, nautilus
– most intelligent of the invertebrates
– active marine predators
– foot evolved into a series of tentacles
equipped with structures to capture prey
– highly developed nervous systems
10
Segmented Animals
•
•
Building of body from series of similar
segments
– small change in existing segment can
produce new kind of segment with
different function
Annelids
– three characteristics:
 repeated segments
 specialized segments
 connections
11
Segmented Animals
•
Body plan of the annelid
– tube within a tube
– internal digestive tract within the coelom
 specialized for different functions
– hydrostatic skeleton for locomotion
– each segment typically possesses setae,
that help anchor during locomotion
– most have closed circulatory system
– nephridia collect and transport wastes
12
Classes of Annelids
•
•
Polychaeta: polychaetes
– well developed head with specialized
sense organs
– parapodia on most segments
– usually lack permanent gonads
Oligochaeta: earthworms
– hermaphroditic
13
Classes of Annelids
•
Hirudinea: leeches
– occur mostly in fresh water
– hermaphroditic
– develop clitellum during breeding season
– unable to self-fertilize
– secrete anticoagulant into wounds
14
Lophophorates
•
Lophophore - circular or U-shaped ridge
around the mouth bearing one or two rows of
ciliated, hollow tentacles
– functions as surface for gas exchange and
as food-collection organs
– use cilia to capture food
15
Jointed Appendages and Exoskeleton
•
•
All arthropods have jointed appendages.
Rigid external skeleton (exoskeleton)
– protects animal and provides sites for
muscle attachment
 brittle, thus arthropod body size limited
due to exoskeleton thickness
– estimates of a quintillion insects alive at
any one time
 1,000,000 species
16
Arthropod Body Plan
•
•
Exoskeleton
– tough outer covering that also serves to
anchor muscles
Molting (ecdysis)
– shedding of outer cuticular layer
17
Arthropod Body Plan
•
Compound eye
– composed of many ommatidia
 each covered with a lens and linked to a
complex of eight retinal cells and a light
sensitive core rhabdom
– Simple eyes (ocelli) have single lenses.
 function in distinguishing light from
darkness
18
The Compound Eye
19
General Characteristics of Arthropods
•
•
Circulatory system
– greatly reduced coelom
– open circulatory system
Nervous system
– double chain of segmented ganglia
running along the animal’s ventral surface
 brain appears to be inhibitor rather than
stimulator
20
General Characteristics of Arthropods
•
•
Respiratory system
– no single major respiratory organ
– small branched air ducts - tracheae
 branch into tracheoles
 air passes into trachea through
spiracles
Excretory system
– Malpighian tubules
21
Crustaceans
•
Most crustaceans have two pairs of
antennae, three types of chewing
appendages, and various numbers of leg
pairs.
– all pass through nauplius larval stage
– mandibles likely originated from a pair of
limbs that took on chewing function during
course of evolution
22
Crustaceans
•
Decapod crustaceans
– “ten footed”
 exoskeleton usually reinforced with
calcium carbonate
 most body segments are fused into
cephalothorax covered by carapace
 Lobsters and crayfish have
swimmerets and uropods to aid in
swimming, and may have a telson
(tail spine).

and feeding

– delicate epidermis containing thousands of
neurosensory cells
