Ectoderm
Endoderm
Mesoderm
Germ Layers form embryonic layers.



Endoderm: inner layer  digestive
tract and respiratory system
Mesoderm: middle layer  muscles,
circulatory, reproductive and excretory
organs
Ectoderm: outermost layer  sense
organs, nerves, and epidermis

Preventive Measures




Health education and low-technology measures to promote behavioral
change are used to prevent Guinea worm disease.
The most effective way to prevent it is to filter the tiny water fleas out
of drinking water. The Carter Center provides families with fine-mesh
filter cloths that fit over clay pots used to hold water.
Some people, especially nomadic groups, receive pipe filters, which are
small straw-like personal filters that can be worn around the
neck. These simple but revolutionary devices enable people to drink
water safely no matter where they are.

Pinworm infection in child’s
intestine
Roundworms




A report by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
found that about 14 percent of
Americans are infected with
Toxocara – a parasite commonly
known as the round worm.
The disease is zoonotic – which
means you can get it from your
pet. The CDC says the parasite is
most commonly found in children
from low socioeconomic areas.
For the most part there aren't
any symptoms. But in rare cases
it can cause blindness, especially
in children.
Researchers say the worms are
transferred through cat and dog
fecal matter – in yards and sand
boxes – places where children
often play.
Filarial worms
•Primary cause of
elephantiasis
condition where
parts of the body
are swollen
•Requires arthropod
intermediate host to
complete life cycle
Filarial worms
Elephantiasis is a
condition of extreme
edema that occurs when
lymph vessels become
blocked by filarial worms.
Here the left leg is swollen
with the fluids accumulated
in the tissues as a result of
the blockage.
Phylum Annelida
Examples:
leeches, earthworms & marine worms
Segmented worms
 Separated by septa = dividing walls
 Bilateral symmetry
 Coelomates
 3 cell layers
 Advanced
organ systems
Annelids
Leeches release a
chemical that prevents the
prey from forming scabs.
A leech bite is less painful
than it is just messy with
the profuse bleeding.
Phylum Mollusca


Coelomates=

Mollusks
Mollusk Anatomy

3 body parts:




Visceral mass = houses
body organs
Mantle = heavy fold of tissue
surrounding visceral mass
Foot = ventral surface for
locomotion
Respiratory structure:

Gills = filamentous projections
that capture oxygen from the
water

moving, drawing
water into mantle
cavity and forcing
water out of siphon
(like jet propulsion)

mucus secreted
