Phylum Nematoda Invertebrate Project
PHYLUM NEMATODA • Roundworms • 24,773 KNOWN SPECIES • NON-SEGMENTED WORM WITH PSEUDOCOELOM • FIRST ORGANISM WITH MOUTH AND ANUS
Symmetry • Bilateral
FEEDING Diverse (mostly bacteria, protozoa, algae) • Carnivores (meat) • Detritivore (decaying organic matter) • Omnivores (both) • Herbivores (plants) • Many parasites
RESPIRATION • DIFFUSION Through the skin
CIRCULATION • Not Developed • DIFFUSIONinto cells
EXCRETION • Not developed • Diffusion of wastes (CO2 and Ammonia)
RESPONSE • Ganglia (nerve cells) within head attached to nerve cords • Four nerves run the length of the body • Sensory organs that detect chemicals
MOVEMENT • Muscle cells (length of bodies) contract to move • Hydrostatic Skeleton
REPRODUCTION • Sexual Reproduction (most have separate males & females) • Internal Fertilization • Rare cases (hermaphrodites)
Digestive System • Developed digestive system – intake mouth and out-put - anus • External digestion (in body cavity)
Roundworm Examples • Trichinosis-Causing Worms (Pork) • Cause trichinosis • Live in intestines of host • Invade hosts organs and muscle tissue • Filarial Worms • Line in blood/lymph vessels • Transmitted through biting insects • Cause elephantitis • Ascarid Worms • Cause malnutrition, spread by eating vegetables • Hookworms • Live in soil and hook onto feet of host, burrow into skin and enter bloodstream • Suck hosts blood in lungs and intestines causing weakness
