Phylum Porifera: Simplest of Animals - Includes the sponges - Lack: symmetry, germ layers (tissues), gastrovascular cavity - Intracellular digestion -Body organized into a series of water canals and chambers: Osculum, pores and spongocoel
Sponges have cellular level of organization Types of cells: Choanocytes Amoebocytes Porocytes They are filter feeders Skeleton: Spongin fibers Spicules made of calcium carbonate or silica
Sketch •Spongin fibers (demo scope) • Spicules (demo scope)
Class Calcarea Calcium carbonate spicules in form of needles, or 3-4 rayed stars Marine Includes: Grantia
Sketch each of the following: Preserved Grantia in a jar, use dissecting scope label osculum Grantia slide (group slide box) use dissecting scope Label osculum, spongiocoel
Class Hexactinellida Spicules are made of silica, in the form of 6-rayed stars Marine, deep water Includes: Venus flower basket Sketch specimen (min 12)
Class Demospongiae Spicules are made of silica, but not 6-rayed and/or spongin Marine and freshwater Includes: Bath sponges Sketch specimens
Medications from Sponges - 30%of all potential new natural medicines has been isolated in sponges. - About 75% of the recently registered and patented material to fight cancer comes from sponges.
Phylum Cnidaria Coral Sea Anemone Hydra Man-of-war Jellyfish
Cnidarians have two body forms - Symmetry: radial - Two body types: Free-swimming medusae or Sessile polyps - Diploblastic: ectodermis (ectoderm) and gastrodermis (endoderm) Mesoglea: extracellar matrix that lies between - Cnidarians have tissue level of organization
Phylum Cnidaria: Animals with stinging cells -All are aquatic and mostly marine -Predators - Equipped with specialized cells: cnidocytes contain a specialized stinging organelles: nematocysts
Sketch each of the following: Obelia polyp (individual slide) dissecting scope label tentacles, mouth, reproductive polyp and feeding polyp Obelia medusa (group slide box) compound scope
Class Hydrozoa: Examples: Hydra (lacks medusa stage) Portuguese man-of-war (colonial polyps and there is a medusa stage too)
Sketch each of the following Hydra (live) dissecting scope Label tentacles and mouth Hydra budding (group slide) dissecting scope label tentacles and bud
Sketch each of the following: Portugese man of war (in jar) Label tentacles, polyps and bell
Class Scyphozoa: true jellyfish Example: Aurelia (moon jelly fish)
Sketch each of the following: Auerelia ephyra (group slide) Label mouth
Class Anthozoa: Examples: Stony corals Soft corals (sea fans) Sea Anemones
Sketch each of the following: Sea anemone(in jar) Basal disc, tentacles Stony coral skeleton Label a depression formed by a polyp Soft coral (sea fan)
Importance Some jellyfish are considered a delicacy Corals: Medicine cabinets for the 21st century cancer cell inhibitor Sunscreen
