Mr C’s Animal Review Sheet

Very valuable Animal Notes

 

Basic Structure of an animal

The basic difference between an animal and a plant is that instead of being an autotroph they are heterotrophs. An animal can best be described as “ a multicellular, heterotrophic, and usually motile organism”. The difference between unicellular and multicellular animals is that multicellular organism have tissues which allow for the division of labour done by cells.

 

Inverterbrates

Basically, any animal (multicellular) without a backbone is an invertebrate. Invertebrates can live in aquatic, terrestrial and parasitic environments. They may range in size from the microscopic to mammoth squid.

 

  • And now a word from our sponsor… ( boy these would be great short answer questions…

 

Some benefits of inverterbrates…(five)

  • They provide habitat for other animals
  • Habit allows food for other animals to eat
  • Worms dig up and turn over soil, allowing plants to grow
  • Many mollusks are food…even snails..yum!
  • Insects pollenate plants

 

But…

Many invertebrates can cause disease (five)

  • Trichinella causes infection due to eating uncooked meat
  • Tape worms infect domestic and undomestic species
  • Insects and mollusk can be vectors for parasitic worms

Oiwee..

  • Insects and cnidarian can sting…if you get in their space
  • And octupi and squids can bite!

 

Germ Layers

Importance of having three germ layers, is that each layer allows for cell specialization. With the formation oftissues, these germ layers can specialize to preform specific tasks. As the organism evolve, one notes an increase in functions of each germ layer.

 

For example

  • Ecoderm tissue can diversify to form structural support, defensive stinging cells, specialized hooks or become dense cutticle to limit being digested.

 

  • Mesoderm tissue can diversity to form muscle tissue and reproductive tissue

 

  • Endoderm tissue can diversify to form digestive tissue

 

Symetry

Symetry and life style

Animals that tend to stay in one place will show no symetry (such as coral) or radial symetry such as sea anemome. Since these organisms live in one spot, they depend upon the flow of water to both provide food and distribute gametes. With the advent of movement, animals will shift to bilateral symetry. This means that they can hunt for food and muscles will be innervated by a nerve tissue.

 

Development of systems

Linked to coelom

The basic distinction of an animal is to eat, so tissues will be developed to eat food. If you have a simple surface area to volume ratio, there is no need to create systems for digestion. For example tape worms can absorb food across a simple single cell layer. Acoelomates tend to show simple strategies for digestion, such as filter feeding, or parasitic absorption. The planarian does have a simple gut that also doubles to move food in and out of the body. With the increase in locomotion there is a need for more food. The formation of a full digestive tract, such as pseudocoelomate nematod worms, allows for food to go in and out of the body by two pores. In addition, muscle movement within the body can work independently of external muscle. Please check previous notes for more facts about the coelom. With more food there is more waste, so there is development of excretory system.

 

Filter feeding

Specialized cells to create current (collar cells)

Specialised cells to form pores

Less energy used to find food

 

Internal and external digestion

External

Simple guts to tubular guts

Digestive enzymes to rapidly disolve food prior to being absorbed by

Cells

 

 

Parasitism

Adaptions

Hooks and suckers

Cutticle

Proglottids

No need for digestive system

 

Classification:

 

Porifera

Sample : Sponges

These are asymetric, filter feeding critters that almost look like rocks! In fact the ones at the aquarium are! These animals have three layers, although they are made from two germ layers. So sponges do have distinct cell types. The middle layer is made of spicules which form a skeletal system that protects and shapes the organism. The spicules are made of calcium carbonate which is hard enough to make…rock..or fossils. Water is filter in through pore by collar cells. These cells use flagella to produce water current and gametes. Sponges reproduce asexually by budding. Since these animals are sedentary they depend upon the flow of ocean currents for food. Though this may be hazardous if the water is not pure, they do not have to expend a lot of energy to get food.

 

Cnidaria

Sample: Hydra, Jelly fish, Sea Anenome

These animals are radial in symetry. They eat by stinging their prey with nematocyst which in the case of the hydra can paralyze the prey. The interesting thing is that these same tentacles can also be used for fertilization, as in the jelly fish. Cnidarian some times have moving and sendentary stages. They usually have tentacles souronding a mouth. Organism such as the jelly fish can have both sexual and asexual forms.

 

Platyhelminthes

Sample: Planaria , Flukes and tapeworms

Flat worms can either be free living or parasitic. They show bilateral symetry and unique loss or gain of systems. Free living species show nerve tissue development with anterior ganglia and nerve cords. Planaria have both eyespots and sensory lobes. In comparison, parasitic form tend to show anterior specialization to adhere to the host, such as suckers or hooks. Free swimming Planaria show unique regenerative properties. Parasitic species such at tapeworms no longer need digestive tissue due to the environment they live in. However, to insure survival, they have mass producing proglottids. These segments have both male and female tissue to increase the rate and amount of eggs. Proglottids develop along the length of tape worm, with the mature ones being at the posterior end (which contain many eggs) and the immature ones being close to the scolex. Another type of parasitic worm are flukes such as the liver fluke. This parasite has a life cycle that start within the host stomach, moves to the intestines, then the liver and then the gall bladder…so the parasite not only moves around outside the host, it also moves within the host!

 

Round worms.

Samples: nematoda, hookworm, filarian worm,ascaris and trichinella

We now enter the world of psuedocoelomates. Round worms can be free living or parasitic. They have complete digestive tracts with a mouth and an anus. Parasitic worms can specialize ectoderm tissue to form cutticle which prevents them from being digested. One of the most graphic round worm infections is elephantiasis, which is due to filarian worms. This parasite is associated with lymph vessel blockage which causes the body to swell to…elephant proportions! The medical staff and worm symbol can be traced back to how this worm was once extracted from the skin by wrapping it around a stick. Life cycle of ascaris enters the body via the gut but eventually works its way to the lungs, via the blood to the liver to the heart. Each time the host coughs they reinfect themselves. To infect other hosts the eggs are excreted by adult worms in the gut. If the eggs and the adult are remain in one host, the spreading of the parasite is limited.

Molluscs Notes

MOLLUSCS

(phylum mollusca)

 

– many of our ideas of sea monsters come from molluscs.

– also provide many types of food – think of all the molluscs that we eat.

 

CHARACTERISTICS OF MOLLUSCS

 

 

 

BODY PLAN

 

1) FOOT

 

 

2) VISCERAL MASS

 

 

3) MANTLE

 

 

 

mantle cavity

 

 

 

 

 

– most have soft bodies protected by a hard shell

– The coelom is mainly present around the heart

– most have a radula = rasping tongue

 

 

has 3 distinct parts

 

– muscular, used for locomotion

– in cephalopods modified into tentacles

 

– contains digestive organs, excretory organs, and the heart

 

= fleshy outer layer covering visceral mass

– has mucous glands and nerve endings

– secretes the shell

 

– lies between the mantle and the visceral mass

– contains organs that function in gas exchange between blood and

– water (gills)

– air (lung)

 

 

 

CLASSES OF MOLLUSCS

 

1) gastropods (stomach-foots)

 

= snails, slugs, sea snails, sea slugs

 

– most numerous = 5/6 of molluscs

– flat foot

– shell is one piece, coiled, or absent

– head has tentacles and eyes on stalks

– have a radula

 

 

2) bivalves (two-shells)

 

= clams, mussels, and oysters

 

– have two shells

– right and left shells hinged dorsally

– no head, tentacles or radula

– adapted to live in mud

– feed by filtering particles from water

 

 

3) cephalopods

(head-foots)

 

= squids, octopus

– no shells or else a small internal shell

– large head and well-developed eyes

– active predators

– foot modified into crown of 8 – 10 tentacles with suckers around mouth

– foot used in locomotion

– expel water from mantle cavity (jet propulsion).

– mouth has a horny beak and a radula

– some squids are largest invertebrates

– squirt inky substance in defense

 

 

4) chitons

 

– have a radula (rasping tongue)

– eight articulating plates, or valves

 

 

5) nautilus – “living fossils,” thought extinct for millions of years, found again in 1952

Phylum Platyhelminthes Platyhelminthes Nematoda Nematoda
Class Cestoda Trematoda    
How is this worm adapted to a parasitic lifestyle? 1.     Scolex with hooks for attaching to intestines of host

2.    No mouth or digestive system – long flat body absorbs nutrients directly from host

3.    Sensory receptors reduced or absent

4.    Tegument (modified epidermis) protects against hosts digestive enzymes and immune system

5.    Cuticle secreted by the epidermis also protects the worm

6.    Hermaphroditic with well developed reproductive system capable of mating with each other and producing hundreds of thousands of eggs (no digestive system makes more room for eggs)

7.    Proglottids capable of mating with each other, drop off when eggs ripe to infect intermediary host

8.    Embryos form a bladder or cyst in intermediary host and wait to be eaten by primary host

1.     Oral sucker for attaching to host

2.    tegument ot protect against hosts’s digestive juices and immune system

3.    Larvae able to burrow through host tissues and use the circulatory system to travel throughout the body

1.     Female lays 200,000 eggs per day which pass out with feces

2.    When new host eats contaminated food new infection occurs

3.    Larvae able to burrow through host tissues and use the circulatory system to travel throughout the body

1.     Larvae form cysts in muscle tissue

2.    When muscle eaten by predator, larvae are released into stomach to begin life cycle

3.    Larvae able to burrow through host tissues and use the circulatory system to travel throughout the body

  1. Ecological Roles:

 

  • Annelids play incredible ecological roles
  • Earthworms are very important to agriculture. As they burrow through the soil they help to aerate it allowing the roots of plants to gain much needed space and oxygen. The castings they leave behind also help to fertilize the soil
  • Some countries around the world use a leeches. In Medieval times leeches were used to suck people’s blood in hopes of balancing their “Humours”. In modern medicine the chemical that leeches secrete during feeding called hirudin is used to prevent blood coagulation in certain operations such as plastic surgery or to stimulate circulation in reattachment surgeries.

  1. Reproduction:

 

  • Sexual reproduction (free-living):
    • Most Nematodes are either ________________ or _______________ (though some are hermaphroditic)
    • When a female and a (much smaller) male Nematode meet, the male will wrap his ________________ around the female
    • One or more ______________ will move out of his anus and will be inserted into the females __________________ and sperm will be transferred
    • The fertilized eggs are released by the female into the surroundings

 

  1. Ecological Roles:

Parasitic Nematodes:

Like the Platyhelminthes there are many forms of Nematodes that are parasitic. They Are mostly parasitic on vertebrates and can cause serious illness. They also have very complicated lifecycles:

 

Eg. Trichenella spiralis (causes Trichinosis)

  • These Nematodes only need one host to mature but can be passed from host to host
  • The adult Nematodes live in the _______________ of their host (pig/rat/human)
  • When they undergo sexual reproduction the larva burrow into the muscles of their host and create a capsule around themselves called an _______________
  • After maturing the larvae travel back to the intestine to begin the lifecycle again

 

DID YOU KNOW!!!: Most Humans get Trichinosis from eating undercooked pork which

contains the larvae filled encysts!!!

(Class Turbellaria)

 

  1. Body Plan/Structure:
  • Flatworms demonstrate a _______________________ symmetrical body plan
  • They are ____________________ flattened and lack a __________________
  • They have a highly branched _______________________________________. It is considered a ______________ gut because there is only one opening to it which serves the function of both the ______________ and ______________

  • Small invertebrates or the remains of dead animals are taken into the mouth/anus by the muscular ____________________
  • The food is then digested in the highly branched ________________________
  • The nutrients moves from the gut into the body cells by __________________

 

  1. Respiration:
  • Respiration occurs by ___________________
  • ______________is taken up directly by the ________________ from the water or the gut
  • ______________________ is released directly from the _________________ into the water or the gut

 

  1. Internal Transport:
  • __________________ and ___________________ in the gut are simply absorbed into the body cells by the process of _____________________

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Excretion:
  • Most undigested food is released directly out of the _____________________

This results in two new flatworms, one from the _________________ end of the original flatworm and the other from the ____________________ end of the original flatworm.
    • Flatworms can also ________________________ parts they have lost.

 

 

 

DID YOU KNOW!!!: If you cut a small piece off the tip of a flatworm’s head region and left the wound open it will regenerate a new head in front of the old one. You can repeat the process to create a flatworm with many heads. If we were Greek we could call it a Polycephaloturbellarian!!!

 

  • Sexual Reproduction:
    • Flatworms are _________________________
    • After two flatworms have copulated they release sacs of fertilized __________ and attach them to a surface

 

DID YOU KNOW!!!: In the animal world it is much easier to be male because you generally

don’t have to take care of your offspring. Because of this some hermaphroditic flatworms demonstrate a sexual behaviour called “Penis Fencing” in which two flatworms will attack each other with their penises. The first one that can jab the other will release their sperm and thus take on the role of a male while the flatworm that has been jabbed will have their eggs fertilized and take on the role of the female!!!

 

  1. Movement:
  • The flatworms move across a surface using _________ on their _____________ surface
  • They can also move by contracting _______________ and _________________ muscles that lay just below the __________________. These muscles are controlled by the ___________________.

Parasitic Platyhelminthes

(Classes Trematoda, Cestoda and Monogenea)

 

Parasitic Platyhelminthes are quite a bit different than their free-living relatives. Many of these adaptations are related to the fact that they live within host organisms. Most of the final host organisms that parasitic Platyhelminthes use are vertebrates, including HUMANS!!! However, they have intricate lifecycles with intermediate host organisms.

 

Here is a list of adaptations that make the fluke and the tape worms different than the free-living flatworms.

 

Class Cestoda (Tapeworms):

  1. The Beef Tapeworm
  • The tapeworm has a _______________ at its anterior end, with complicated hooks for attaching to the intestines of its host.
  • The tapeworm does not have a _______________ or _______________. They are bathed in the pre-digested fluids of their host, and absorb nutrients directly into their cells
  • Since they live in such a harsh environment as the intestines they have a modified ectoderm called a _______________ which protects them from the host’s _______________ and _______________
  • The tapeworm is _______________ and has a body adapted for reproducing.
  • The body of the tapeworm is segmented into _______________, each containing both male and female _______________.
  • As the eggs in the proglottids are fertilized they are released into the human host’s intestines and eventually end up in the host’s _______________.

 

  • Lifecycle:
    • After the fertilized eggs have been released in the fecal matter of the human host the feces can be used as fertilizer etc.
    • The eggs are ingested by the intermediate host, a cow
    • The eggs mature into larva which burrow into the muscles of the cow
    • The beef is eaten by more humans and the larva mature into tapeworms in the intestine of the human host to start the lifecycle again.

 

 

 

 

Class Trematoda (Flukes):

  1. Schistosoma

 

  • The fluke worm has an an _______________ on its anterior end for attaching to the host
  • Fluke worms also have a _______________ to protect them from their host’s _______________ and _______________
  • Flukes are most often _______________ but in the case of Schistosoma there is a male and a female form
  • Other than these adaptations flukes show many of the same characteristics as the free-living turbellarians

 

  • Lifecycle:
    • The adult fluke worm lives in the blood vessels near the intestine of a human host.
    • When it is ready to lay its eggs it pushes its way into one of the tiny blood vessels of the intestine and lays thousands of eggs
    • The sheer number of eggs causes the blood vessels to burst releasing the eggs into the intestine
    • The eggs are carried out of the human host in their fecal matter
    • In many underdeveloped countries there are no proper sewage system and the fecal matter is used as fertilizer
    • The eggs get into the water systems and mature into ciliated larva
    • The larva swim until they find a snail intermediate host. If they do not find this snail they will die
    • The larva burrow into the tissue of the snail, feed on its tissues and asexually reproduce
    • The new larvae exit the snail and become free-swimming
    • The new free-swimming larvae burrow into the skin of humans who are swimming near them
    • A male larva and female larva will find eachother and move through the human circulatory system until they reach the human liver where they mature and feed on red blood cells
    • The pair of mature trematodes migrate to the intestines where they undergo sexual reproduction
    • The female releases the eggs into the small blood vessels of the intestines to start the cycle again.
