to students.

Phylum Annelida
Segmented round worms
 bilaterally radial
 segmented
 cephalized
 eucoelomates
 complete gut

Oligocheata-earthworms
-olig-”few”, cheata-”bristles”
-reproduces via reciprical fertilization because they are homaphroditic (have both
ovaries and testes in the same animal)

Polycheata-sand and marine worms

-poly”many”, cheata “bristles”
-reproduces sexually in water by releasing sperm and eggs

Hirudinea-leeches
-homaphoditic (have both ovaries and testes in the same animal), so they practice
reciprical fertilization
-parasitic

Phylum Mollusca
-”soft bodied animal”
 bilaterally radial
 segmented
 cephalized
 eucoelomates
 complete gut
-Generally have a head, a foot, and a shell.
-Have a structure known as a mantle that secretes the shell (and pearls)

Three major groups

Gastropodia- snails, slugs, nudibranchs,

-foot is on the stomach
-fouling- Because of the way that a snail is shaped, their anus can sometimes
end up over their gills. to solve this problem, lungs are on one side and their
anus on the other side.
-radula-a rasping tongue
-nudibranch- “naked gills”, poisonous, marine

Bivalves- clams, muscles, oysters, mussels, scallops (have eyes)

-When an irritant gets in the shell of bivalves, they secrete pearl to coat the
irritant

Cephalopoda-octopi, squids, nautiluses, cuttlefish, etc

instead of a foot, they have tentacles

The class watched a video from Npt about cuttlefish.
