• 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
Developmental Patterns (Deuterostome and
Protostome)
• Based on certain features seen in early development– Many animals can be categorized as having
one of two developmental modes: protostome development or deuterostome development
Cleavage
• In protostome development– Cleavage is spiral and determinate
• In deuterostome development– Cleavage is radial and indeterminate
Figure 32.9a
Protostome development(examples: molluscs, annelids,
arthropods)
Deuterostome development(examples: echinoderms,
chordates)
Eight-cell stage Eight-cell stage
Spiral and determinate Radial and indeterminate
(a) Cleavage. In general, protostomedevelopment begins with spiral, determinate cleavage.Deuterostome development is characterized by radial, indeterminate cleavage. Means at the 8 cell stage youcan separate out a cell and will develop into a complete individual
Coelom Formation• In protostome development
– The splitting of the initially solid masses of mesoderm to form the coelomic cavity is called schizocoelous development
• In deuterostome development– Formation of the body cavity is described as
enterocoelous development. Red represents mesodermal cells.

Coelom (b) Coelom formation. Coelom formation begins in the gastrula stage. In protostome development, the coelom forms from splits in the mesoderm (schizocoelous development). In deuterostome development, the coelom forms from mesodermal outpocketings of the archenteron (enterocoelous development).
Fate of the Blastopore• In protostome development
– The blastopore becomes the mouth
• In deuterostome development– The blastopore becomes the anus. Note two
layers of mesoderm lining body cavity.

Flat Worms
Figure 33.9
Flatworms• Members of phylum Platyhelminthes
– Live in marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial habitats
– Have a gastrovascular cavity and are flattened dorsoventrally (significance=don’t need
a circulatory system as diffusion is adequate to meet nutrient distribution from the gut, gas exchange and waste disposal needs because of short distance from cell to environment
• Although flatworms undergo triploblastic development– They are acoelomates (body cavity solid)
• Flatworms are divided into four classes
Class Turbellaria• Turbellarians
– Are nearly all free-living and mostly marine
Figure 33.9
Planaria• The best-known turbellarians, commonly called
planarians– Have light-sensitive eyespots and centralized nerve nets.
Cephalization-concentration of sensory organs and nerve bodies (ganglia) at the anterior end. Allows them to avoid light, seek food etc.
Pharynx. The mouth is at thetip of a muscular pharynx thatextends from the animal’sventral side. Digestive juicesare spilled onto prey, and thepharynx sucks small pieces offood into the gastrovascularcavity, where digestion continues.
Digestion is completed withinthe cells lining the gastro-vascular cavity, which hasthree branches, each withfine subbranches that pro-vide an extensive surface area.
Undigested wastesare egestedthrough the mouth.
Ganglia. Located at the anterior endof the worm, near the main sourcesof sensory input, is a pair of ganglia,dense clusters of nerve cells.
Ventral nerve cords. Fromthe ganglia, a pair ofventral nerve cords runsthe length of the body.

Other Flatworms are parasitesMonogenea and Trematoda
• Monogeneans and trematodes– Live as parasites in or on other animals– Parasitize a wide range of hosts
Life cycle of blood fluke (Schistosoma)
• Trematodes that parasitize humans– Spend part of their lives in snail hosts
These larvae penetratethe skin and blood vessels of humans working in irrigated fields contaminated with infected human feces.
Asexual reproduction within a snail results in another type of motilelarva, which escapes from the snail host.
Blood flukes reproduce sexually in the human host. The fertilized eggs break throughblood vessel wall into the digestivetract and exit the host in feces.
The eggs develop in water into ciliated larvae. These larvaeinfect snails, the intermediate hosts.

• Most monogeneans– Are parasites of fish
(Cestode) Tapeworm• Tapeworms (highly specialized for parasitic life)
– Lack a digestive system—absorb nutrients from intestinal lumen. Specialized head for attachment to gut wall.

Rotifers
• Rotifers, phylum Rotifera– Are tiny animals that inhabit fresh water, the
ocean, and damp soil and are of interest because of their prolonged asexual reproduction.
• Rotifers are smaller than many protists (largest 2 mm)– But are truly multicellular and have specialized organ systems
(digestive tract with mouth and anus, body cavity but is pseudocoelom-not lined by mesoderm).
0.1 mmFigure 33.13
Rotifer Reproduction
• Rotifers reproduce by parthenogenesis (unfertilized eggs develop into adult females) which produce more females from unfertilized eggs.
• Without sexual reproduction, deleterious mutations should accumulate that would make the organism less fit. However this has been going on for 35 million years and how they flout the general rule against long-lived asexuality is a puzzle.
Nemerteans
• Members of phylum Nemertea– Are commonly called proboscis worms or
ribbon worms, pseudocoelom)
Figure 33.15
• The nemerteans unique proboscis– Is used for defense and prey capture (some inject toxin into prey)– Is extended by a fluid-filled sac
• Nemerteans also have a closed circulatory system (none of the other phyla we talked about have this).– The blood is contained in vessels distinct from fluid in the body
cavity but there is no heart. Fluid moved through the system by contraction of body wall. (Antarctic nemerteans can capture a 6 inch long fish and ingest it. Cut them in half and regenerate). Mucous contains tetrodotoxin -a nerve toxin).
The Annelids
Segmented worms.
• The phylum Annelida is divided into three classes
Table 33.4
Oligochaetes
• Oligochaetes (class Oligochaeta)
• The earth worms (fish bait)– Are named for their relatively sparse
chaetae, or bristles made of chitin– Include the earthworms and a variety of
aquatic species
• Earthworms eat their way through the soil, extracting nutrients as the soil moves through the alimentary canal– Which helps till the earth, making
earthworms valuable to farmers

Each segment is surrounded by longitudinal muscle, which in turn is surrounded by circular muscle. Earthworms coordinate the contraction of these two sets of muscles to move (see Figure 49.25). These muscles work against the noncompressible coelomic fluid, which acts as a hydrostatic skeleton.
Coelom. The coelom of the earthworm is partitioned by septa. AllowIndependent movementof body wall.
Metanephridium. Each segment of the worm contains a pair of excretory tubes, called metanephridia, with ciliated funnels, called nephrostomes. The metanephridia remove wastes from the blood and coelomic fluid through exterior pores.
Tiny blood vessels are abundant in the earthworm’s skin, which functions as its respiratory organ. The blood contains oxygen-carryinghemoglobin.
Ventral nerve cords with segmental ganglia. The nerve cords penetrate the septa and run the length of the animal, as do the digestive tract and longitudinal blood vessels.
The circulatory system, a network of vessels, is closed. The dorsal and ventral vessels are linked by segmental pairs of vessels. The dorsal vessel and five pairs of vessels that circle the esophagus of an earthworm are muscular and pump blood through the circulatory system.
Cerebral ganglia. The earthworm nervous system features a brain-like pair of cerebral ganglia above and
in front of the pharynx. A ring of nerves around the pharynx connects to a subpharyngeal ganglion, from which a fused
pair of nerve cords runs posteriorly.
Chaetae. Each segment has four pairs of
chaetae, bristles that provide traction for
burrowing.
Many of the internal structures are repeated within each segment of
the earthworm.

Nematoda (non-segmented round worms)
• Grouped with arthropods in Ecdysozoa clade because covered with cuticle that it sheds as it grows
• The cylindrical bodies of nematodes (phylum Nematoda)– Are covered by a tough coat called a cuticle
25 µmFigure 33.26
• Fluid filled pseudocoelom acts as a hydroskeleton that the circular and longitudinal muscles work against
• Great numbers of nematodes live in moist soil and lake bottoms. Are agriculture pests (corn root worm) and parasites of animals and humans. These include pinworms and round worms in the intestinal tract.
Can acquire this parasite from eating uncooked pork of infected swine. The encysted juveniles mature and migrate from your intestine into the intestinal muscle. Produce more juveniles which migrate to the heart where they encyst forming calcium deposits. Avoid the immune system. Make muscle cell bigger to house them and vascularization. Painful inflammation.

Phylum Mollusca• Includes snails and slugs, oysters and clams,
and octopuses and squids
• Most molluscs are marine– Though some inhabit fresh water and some are
terrestrial
• Molluscs are soft-bodied animals– But most are protected by a hard calcium
carbonate shell
• Molluscs have a muscular foot, a visceral mass, and a mantle
Anatomy of Molluscs
• All molluscs have a similar body plan with three main parts– A muscular foot– A visceral mass– A mantle

Nephridium. Excretory organs called nephridia remove metabolic wastes from the hemolymph.
Heart. Most molluscs have an open circulatory system. The dorsally located heart pumps circulatory fluid called hemolymph through arteries into sinuses (body spaces). The organs of the mollusc are thus continually bathed in hemolymph.
The long digestive tract is coiled in the visceral mass.
Radula. The mouth region in many mollusc species contains a rasp-like feeding organ called a radula. This belt of backward-curved teeth slides back and forth, scraping and scooping like a backhoe.
The nervous system consists
of a nerve ring around the
esophagus, from which nerve
cords extend.

They look very different, live in diverse environments and have different life histories
Chitons• Class Polyplacophora is composed of the chitons
– Oval-shaped marine animals encased in an armor of eight dorsal plates (Firmly attached to rocks in the intertidal region of the ocean). Try and pry off of a rock-home range.

• Most gastropods– Are marine, but there are also many
freshwater and terrestrial species– Possess a single, spiraled shell
• Slugs lack a shell– Or have a reduced shell
Torsion in Gastropods• The most distinctive characteristic of this class
– Is a developmental process known as torsion, which causes the animal’s anus and mantle to end up above its head. To accomodate shell?? Some
have flattened shells (abalone). Head with eye stalks. Modified radula as poisonous dart (marine cone snail toxin can kill humans).

Cephalopods
• Class Cephalopoda includes squids and octopuses– Carnivores with beak-like jaws surrounded by tentacles of their
modified foot– Closed circulator system– Well developed eye similar to vertebrate eye (lens, retina etc)– Very active life style. Squid can feed on herring by zipping
through a school. Herring capable of rapid swimming. – Elaborate sex where male inserts packets of sperm into mantle
cavity of female. (Will look at squid in lab).– Ink gland for escape.
• Most octopuses– Creep along the sea floor in search of prey
Figure 33.22a(a) Octopuses are considered among the
most intelligent invertebrates.
• Squids use their siphon– To fire a jet of water, which allows them to swim very
quickly
Figure 33.22b(b) Squids are speedy carnivores with
beaklike jaws and well-developed eyes.
`• One small group of shelled cephalopods– The chambered nautiluses, survives today– Huge nautilus fossils in northern Africa
Figure 33.22c
(c) Chambered nautiluses are the only living cephalopods with an external shell. Have rudimentary eye without lens like a pin hole camera. Shell is chambered and put less dense ammonium chloride in chamber for flotation. Less dense than seawater.
