Molluscs
• Phylum Mollusca• Have soft bodies, usually covered by a
calcium carbonate shell
![Page 3: © 2006 Thomson-Brooks Cole Chapter 9 Molluscs, Arthropods, Lophophorates, Echinoderms, and Invertebrate Chordates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ea15503460f94ba5239/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Molluscan Body
• 2 major parts:– head-foot—region containing the head
with its mouth and sensory organs and the foot, which is the animal’s organ of locomotion
– visceral mass—body region containing the other organ systems, including the circulatory, digestive, respiratory, excretory and reproductive systems

Molluscan Body
• Mantle—protective tissue around body • it forms the shell
– mantle cavity—space between the mantle and the body
• Radula—a ribbon of tissue containing teeth
• Muscles

Molluscan Shell
• Secreted by the mantle• Normally comprises 3 layers:
– periostracum—outermost layer, – prismatic layer—middle layer, Structure – nacreous layer—innermost layer,
composed of calcium- a smooth crystal structure( mother of pearl)

end• Water enters and exits at smaller end• Food captured with the foot or
tentacles emerging from the head

Gastropods
• Class Gastropoda• May have no shell, or a univalve (one-
piece) shell– as the animal grows, whorls of the shell
increase in size around a central axis– operculum—covering over the shell’s
aperture which allows it to be closed
![Page 14: © 2006 Thomson-Brooks Cole Chapter 9 Molluscs, Arthropods, Lophophorates, Echinoderms, and Invertebrate Chordates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ea15503460f94ba5239/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Gastropods
• Feeding and nutrition– herbivores – most feed on fine algae;
some on large algae like kelps– carnivores – usually locate prey using its
chemical trail; have evolved various behaviors for capturing/subduing prey
– scavengers and deposit feeders– filter feeders

• Class Bivalvia• Have shells divided into 2 jointed
halves (valves)• Includes:
– clams– oysters– mussels– scallops– shipworms
![Page 24: © 2006 Thomson-Brooks Cole Chapter 9 Molluscs, Arthropods, Lophophorates, Echinoderms, and Invertebrate Chordates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ea15503460f94ba5239/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Bivalves
• Bivalve anatomy– no head or radula– laterally compressed bodies – shell halves attached dorsally at a hinge
by ligaments• umbo—oldest part of the shell, around hinge• adductor muscles—large muscles which close
the 2 valves
– mantle often forms inhalant and exhalant openings to facilitate filter feeding• palps form the food into a mass for digestion
![Page 25: © 2006 Thomson-Brooks Cole Chapter 9 Molluscs, Arthropods, Lophophorates, Echinoderms, and Invertebrate Chordates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ea15503460f94ba5239/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

black pigment, when disturbed• swim by jet propulsion by forcing water
through a ventrally-located siphon or by fin undulation (in squids)
• The most complex nervous system for invertebrates

• squids are pelagic: fish, crustaceans, squid• cuttlefish find invertebrates on the bottom• octopods forage or lie in wait near the
entrances to their dens

courtship display– male squid have a modified arm – Females have an oviduct (tube that carries
eggs to the outside of the body)

but most adults exhibit a modified form of radial symmetry
• Mostly benthic, and found at nearly all depths
• Sea cucumbers and brittle stars are commonly found in deep-sea samples
![Page 77: © 2006 Thomson-Brooks Cole Chapter 9 Molluscs, Arthropods, Lophophorates, Echinoderms, and Invertebrate Chordates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ea15503460f94ba5239/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)

Echinoderm Structure
• Endoskeleton—internal skeleton that lies just beneath the epidermis– ossicles—plates of calcium carbonate– endoskeleton is composed of ossicles held
together by connective tissue
• Spines and tubercles project outward from the ossicles– pedicellariae—tiny, pincer-like structures
around the bases of spines that keep the body surface clean in some echinoderms
![Page 78: © 2006 Thomson-Brooks Cole Chapter 9 Molluscs, Arthropods, Lophophorates, Echinoderms, and Invertebrate Chordates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ea15503460f94ba5239/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
© 2006 Thomson-Brooks Cole
Echinoderm Structure
• Water vascular system—unique hydraulic system that functions in locomotion, feeding, gas exchange and excretion– water enters by the madreporite– passes through a system of canals– attached to some canals are tube feet—
hollow structures with a sac-like ampulla within the body and a a sucker protruding from the ambulacral groove
![Page 79: © 2006 Thomson-Brooks Cole Chapter 9 Molluscs, Arthropods, Lophophorates, Echinoderms, and Invertebrate Chordates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ea15503460f94ba5239/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)

Sea Stars
• Feeding in sea stars– most are carnivores or scavengers of
invertebrates and sometimes fish– prey are located by sensing of substances
they release into the water– sea stars envelope and open bivalves,
evert a portion of the stomach, and insert it into the bivalves to digest them• digestive glands located in each ray provide
digestive enzymes
![Page 82: © 2006 Thomson-Brooks Cole Chapter 9 Molluscs, Arthropods, Lophophorates, Echinoderms, and Invertebrate Chordates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ea15503460f94ba5239/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)

Sea Stars
• Reproduction and regeneration– sea stars can regenerate rays; some can
regenerate themselves from a single ray plus part of the central disc
– asexual reproduction involves division of the central disk and regeneration of each half into a new individual
– most have separate sexes, which shed eggs and sperm into the water for fertilization and hatching into usually planktonic larvae

Ophiuroids
• Feeding in ophiuroids– carnivores, scavengers, deposit feeders,
suspension feeders, or filter feeders– brittle stars usually filter feed by lifting
their arms and waving them in the water– deposit feeders use their podia to gather
organic particles from the bottom into food balls and pass them to the mouth
– basket stars suspension feed by climbing onto corals/rocks and fanning their arms toward the prevailing current
![Page 87: © 2006 Thomson-Brooks Cole Chapter 9 Molluscs, Arthropods, Lophophorates, Echinoderms, and Invertebrate Chordates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ea15503460f94ba5239/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)

Ophiuroids
• Reproduction and regeneration in ophiuroids– autotomize—to cast off, as of an arm,
when disturbed or seized by a predator– asexual reproduction by division into 2
halves and regeneration of individuals– mostly separate sexes– may shed eggs into water or brood them
in ovaries or a body cavity– planktonic larvae metamorphose into
adults within the water column

• Most are hermaphrodites that release gametes into the water column for fertilization
• Tadpole-like larvae are free-swimming for 36 hrs., then settle and metamorphose into the sessile stage

Salps and Larvaceans
• Salps– class Thaliacea– free-swimming tunicates with incurrent
and excurrent siphons on opposite ends of their barrel-shaped bodies• pump water through to swim
• Larvaceans– class Larvacea– free-swimming; produce delicate
enclosures of mucus used in feeding

Cephalochordates
• Subphylum Cephalochordata- lancelets• Fish-like chordates; slender, laterally
compressed and eel-like in form and behavior
• Benthic; burrow in coarse sands• Suspension feed by projecting their
heads above the sand• Separate sexes practice internal
fertilization

Cephalochordates
• Have complex life cycles with benthic adults and planktonic swimming larvae
• Important as food in parts of Asia• Used as chicken feed in parts of Brazil

Arrowworms
• Phylum Chaetognatha• Common planktonic animals with a
torpedo-shaped body• Grasping spines (large curved hooks)
hang from the head and flank the vestibule (chamber leading to mouth)
• Carnivorous; seize other planktonic prey animals with grasping spines and inject tetrodotoxin
