Phylum Phoronida Marine organisms that live in sediments
Phoronida characters Filter feeding Do not move Cilia create current to bring particles to tentacles; then to mouth Metanephridia Blood vessel contains blood (w/ hemoglobin)
Phoronida • Hermaphroditic • Sperm released from nephridia, collected by other individual • Embryo = actinotroch
Phylum Brachiopoda • = “arm foot” • 2-valve shell • Marine lophophorates
Phylum Brachiopoda characters • At poles or deep marine, permanently attached to substrate • Metanephridia • Circulatory system w/heart and contractile vessels - no blood pigment
Brachiopoda • Sperm, eggs discharged from nephridiopores • Fert external
Phylum Bryozoa • Moss animals • Colonial animals that attach to substrate • Marine (5000 species) and freshwater (50) • Fossils (15,000)
Bryozoa • Secrete a covering around body • Asexual repro, hermaphroditic
Bryozoa Sperm into coelomic cavity, released from openings in tentacles Neighbors collect sperm for fert. Some brood embryos
Digestion • Phoronids, bryozoans: U-shaped • Brachiopods: U-shaped one-way tract
Nervous systems • Ring at base of lophophore, around esophagus, or by pharynx • Mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors scattered
