23. Muscle tissue Trichinella juvenile Mouth Colorized SEM 400 LM 350 • Many nematodes are free-living • And others are plant or animal parasites

24. Visceral mass Reproductive organs Coelom Heart Kidney Digestive tract Mantle Shell Digestive tract Mantle cavity Radula Radula Anus Mouth Gill Mouth Foot Nerve cords • Diverse molluscs are variations on a common body plan • All molluscs have a muscular foot and a mantle • Which may secrete a shell that encloses the visceral mass • Many mollusks • Feed with a rasping radula

26. Bivalves • The bivalves have shells divided into two halves • And include clams, oysters, mussels, and scallops

27. Cephalopods • Cephalopods are adapted to be agile predators • And include squids and octopuses

28. Annelids are segmented worms • The segmented bodies of phylum Annelida • Give them added mobility for swimming and burrowing

29.

30. Polychaetes • The polychaetes • Form the largest group of annelids • Search for prey on the seafloor or live in tubes and filter food particles

31. Leeches • Most leeches • Are free-living carnivores, but some suck blood

32. Cephalothorax Abdomen Thorax Antennae (sensory reception) Head Swimming appendages Walking legs Mouthparts (feeding) Pincer (defense) • Arthropods are segmented animals with jointed appendages and an exoskeleton • The diversity and success of arthropods • Are largely related to their segmentation, exoskeleton, and jointed appendages
