Tags and Description

53 Terms

1

sponges

Phylum Porifera (pore-bearer)

New cards
2

filter feeding

method in which food particles are filtered from water as it passes by or through some part of the sponge

New cards
3

osculum

A large opening on a sponge through which filtered water and wastes are expelled

New cards
4

pore cell

allow water carrying food and oxygen into the sponge's body

New cards
5

epithelial cell

thin and flat/contract in response to touch or irritations causing pore cells to close up

New cards
6

collar cell

flagellated cells that line the inner cavity of a sponge, which helps draw water through the pores

New cards
7

amoebocytes

located between the 2 cell layers/carry nutrients to other cells/aid in reproduction/produce chemicals that help make up spicules

New cards
8

spicules

small, needle-like that form the hard support system of sponges

New cards
9

hermaphrodite

animal that can produce both eggs and sperm/most sponges fall into this category

New cards
10

external fertilization

eggs and sperm are both released into the water/fertilization occurs outside the body/fertilization in a few sponges occurs this way

New cards
11

internal fertilization

eggs remain inside the body; sperm are carried to the eggs in the flow of water/most fertilization in sponges occurs this way sponges

New cards
12

cnidarians

Phylum meaning "stinging cells"/jellyfish, corals, sea anemones, and hydras

New cards
13

asconoids

sponges with a vase-like structure with a central cavity

New cards
14

syconoids

sponges with a tubular body with folds inside the body wall

New cards
15

leuconoids

sponges with an interconnected system of complex canals and chambers

New cards
16

encrusting sponges

sponges that grow by spreading over the ocean floor and forming a hard surface

New cards
17

boring sponges

type of sponges that bore thin channels through calcium carbonate/rocks

New cards
18

erect sponges

sponges that grow upright in the water, often building stem-like structures

New cards
19

sclereocytes

cells in sponges that secrete spicules

New cards
20

archeocytes

large cells that take up food particles by engulfing them/allow sponges to regenerate themselves

New cards
21

choanocytes

flagellated cells that create a water current to bring in water through pores and pump it around the sponge canals

New cards
22

sponge crab

attaches sponges to its back for camouflage/the sponge gets carried around to good food sources/mutualism

New cards
23

radial symmetry

Symmetry about a central axis/cnidarians' body structure

New cards
24

hexactinellida

glass sponges/live in the deep

New cards
25

Carnivorous Demosponges

have hooks that catch small fish or crustaceans as prey/harp sponge is one type

New cards
26

demosponges

are by far the largest group of sponges/live in the deep and the shallows

New cards
27

calcarea sponges

calcium carbonate spicules/restricted to life in the shallows

New cards
28

polyp

The sessile, tubular form of a cnidarian with a mouth surrounded by tentacles

New cards
29

medusa

A free-swimming cnidarian with a bell-shaped/umbrella-shaped body and tentacles hanging downward

New cards
30

nematocyst

In cnidarians, a stinging cell that is used to inject a toxin into prey

New cards
31

gastrovascular cavity

A central cavity with a single opening in the body of certain animals, including cnidarians and flatworms, that functions in both the digestion and distribution of nutrients.

New cards
32

nerve net

simple nervous system of cnidarians which conducts nerve impulses from all parts of the body/there is no control center

New cards
33

Hydrozoa

class that includes the hydroids (the hydra) and the siphonophores (Portuguese man-of-war)

New cards
34

Scyphozoa

class that includes jellyfish

New cards
35

Anthozoa

class that includes sea anemones and coral/exhibit only polyp form

New cards
36

sea anemones

anthozoans that live as individual animals

New cards
37

coral

anthozoans that live in colonies of polyps

New cards
38

flatworms

Phylum Platyhelminthes/parasitic worms with bilateral symmetry

New cards
39

parasitic tapeworm

flatworm in the class Cestoda

New cards
40

fluke

flatworm in the class Trematoda

New cards
41

pharynx

digestive organ in flatworms/begins to digest food outside the flatworm then sucks the food into the gastrovascular cavity

New cards
42

eyespots

sensory structure that determines intensity and direction of light

New cards
43

flame cells

specialized cells that remove excess water from the body (flatworms)

New cards
44

regeneration

The ability to regrow a missing part of the body

New cards
45

body of a tapeworm

scolex and proglottids

New cards
46

scolex

head of an adult tapeworm; can contain suckers or hooks

New cards
47

proglottids

body sections of a tapeworm/contains muscles, nerves, flame cells, and male and female reproductive organs

New cards
48

roundworms

Phylum Nematoda

New cards
49

ascaris

mainly infects children/eggs hatch in intestines, move to the bloodstream,move to the lungs, are coughed up and swallowed; cycle starts again

New cards
50

hookworms

usually enter the body through bare feet and move through the body to the small intestines where they attach themselves with a series of hooks around their mouths.

New cards
51

pinworms

most common type of roundworm/Identified by itching of the anus where eggs are laid

New cards
52

trichinella

enter the body through undercooked pork

New cards
53

nematodes

roundworms that infect and kill pine trees, cereal crops, and food plants
