Chapter 33 Invertebrates Quick Notes
Overview: Life Without a Backbone • Invertebrates are animals that lack a backbone • They account for 95% of known animal species
LE 33-2 Cnidaria Echinodermata Chordata Porifera Other bilaterians (including Nematoda, Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Annelida) Deuterostomia Bilateria Eumetazoa Ancestral colonial choanoflagellate
LE 33-3a A jelly A sponge 0.5 mm 250 µm A placozoan (LM) A kinorhynch (LM) A rotifer (LM) A marine flatworm Ectoprocts Phoronids
LE 33-3b A ribbon worm A brachiopod 5 mm A ctenophore, or comb jelly An acanthocephalan An octopus A marine annelid 50 µm A priapulan A loriciferan (LM)
LE 33-3c A roundworm A scorpion (an arachid) 100 µm 100 µm Tardigrades (colorized SEM) A cycliophoran (colorized SEM) An acorn worm An onychophoran A sea urchin A tunicate
Concept 33.1: Sponges are sessile and have a porous body and choanocytes • Sponges, phylum Porifera, live in both fresh and marine waters • Sponges lack true tissues and organs
Sponges are suspension feeders, capturing food particles suspended in the water that passes through their body
LE 33-4 Food particles in mucus Flagellum Choanocyte Choanocytes Collar Osculum Azure vase sponge (Callyspongia plicifera) Spongocoel Phagocytosis of food particles Amoebocyte Porocytes Spicules Epidermis Water flow Amoebocyte Mesohyl
Choanocytes, flagellated collar cells, generate a water current through the sponge and ingest suspended food • Most sponges are hermaphrodites: Each individual functions as both male and female
Concept 33.2: Cnidarians have radial symmetry, a gastrovascular cavity, and cnidocytes • All animals except sponges belong to the clade Eumetazoa, animals with true tissues • Phylum Cnidaria is one of the oldest groups in this clade
Cnidarians have diversified into a wide range of both sessile and floating forms including jellies, corals, and hydras • They exhibit a relatively simple diploblastic, radial body plan
The basic body plan of a cnidarian is a sac with a central digestive compartment, the gastrovascular cavity • A single opening functions as mouth and anus • There are two variations on the body plan: the sessile polyp and floating medusa Video: Hydra Eating Daphnia (time lapse)
LE 33-5 Mouth/anus Tentacle Polyp Medusa Gastrovascular cavity Gastrodermis Mesoglea Body stalk Epidermis Tentacle Mouth/anus
Cnidarians are carnivores that use tentacles to capture prey • The tentacles are armed with cnidocytes, unique cells that function in defense and capture of prey Video: Hydra Budding Video: Hydra Releasing Sperm
LE 33-6 Prey Tentacle “Trigger” Discharge of thread Nematocyst Coiled thread Cnidocyte
Phylum Cnidaria is divided into four major classes: • Hydrozoa • Scyphozoa • Cubozoa • Anthozoa
LE 33-7 Scyphozoans (jellies) Cubozoan (sea wasp) Anthozoan (sea anemone) Hydrozoans

Hydrozoans • Most hydrozoans alternate between polyp and medusa forms
LE 33-8–3 Reproductive polyp Feeding polyp Medusa bud MEIOSIS Gonad Medusa Sperm Egg SEXUAL REPRODUCTION ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION (BUDDING) Portion of a colony of polyps FERTILIZATION Zygote Developing polyp Mature polyp Planula (larva) Key Haploid (n) 1 mm Diploid (2n)
Scyphozoans • In the class Scyphozoa, jellies (medusae) are the prevalent form of the life cycle
Cubozoans • In the class Cubozoa, which includes box jellies and sea wasps, the medusa is box-shaped and has complex eyes
Anthozoans • Class Anthozoa includes the corals and sea anemones, which occur only as polyps
Concept 33.3: Most animals have bilateral symmetry • The vast majority of animal species belong to the clade Bilateria, which consists of animals with bilateral symmetry and triploblastic development
Flatworms • Members of phylum Platyhelminthes live in marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial habitats • They are flattened dorsoventrally and have a gastrovascular cavity • Although flatworms undergo triploblastic development, they are acoelomates
Flatworms are divided into four classes: • Turbellaria (mostly free-living flatworms) • Monogenea (monogeneans) • Trematoda (trematodes, or flukes) • Cestoda (tapworms)
Turbellarians • Turbellarians are nearly all free-living and mostly marine • The best-known turbellarians are commonly called planarians
Planarians have light-sensitive eyespots and centralized nerve nets • The planarian nervous system is more complex and centralized than the nerve nets of cnidarians
LE 33-10 Pharynx Gastrovascular cavity Eyespots Ganglia Ventral nerve cords
Monogeneans and Trematodes • Monogeneans and trematodes live as parasites in or on other animals • They parasitize a wide range of hosts • Trematodes that parasitize humans spend part of their lives in snail hosts
LE 33-11 Mature flukes live in the blood vessels of the human intestine Male Female 1 mm Larvae penetrate skin and blood vessels of humans. Blood flukes reproduce sexually in the human host. Fertilized eggs exit host in feces. Eggs develop in water into ciliated larvae. Larvae infect snails. Asexual reproduction within snail results in another type of motile larva. Snail host
Tapeworms • Tapeworms are also parasitic and lack a digestive system
LE 33-12 Proglottids with reproductive structures 200 µm Scolex Hooks Sucker
Rotifers • Rotifers, phylum Rotifera, are tiny animals that inhabit fresh water, the ocean, and damp soil • Rotifers are smaller than many protists but are truly multicellular and have specialized organ systems Video: Rotifer
LE 33-13 0.1 mm
Rotifers have an alimentary canal: a digestive tube with a separate mouth and anus that lies within a fluid-filled pseudocoelom • Rotifers reproduce by parthenogenesis, in which females produce offspring from unfertilized eggs
Lophophorates: Ectoprocts, Phoronids, and Brachiopods • Lophophorates have a lophophore, a horseshoe-shaped, suspension-feeding organ with ciliated tentacles
Ectoprocts are colonial animals that superficially resemble plants
LE 33-14 Lophophore Lophophore Ectoprocts Phoronids Brachiopods
Phoronids are tube-dwelling marine worms ranging from 1 mm to 50 cm in length
Brachiopods superficially resemble clams and other hinge-shelled molluscs, but the two halves of the shell are dorsal and ventral rather than lateral, as in clams
Nemerteans • Members of phylum Nemertea are commonly called proboscis worms or ribbon worms
The nemerteans’ unique proboscis is used for defense and prey capture and is extended by a fluid-filled sac • Nemerteans also have a closed circulatory system, in which the blood is contained in vessels distinct from fluid in the body cavity
