Importance of the Flatworms to Evolution
Bilateral body plan – left side mirror image of right
Cephalization – development of the head sense organs and nerves concentrated in head region
Centralization of nervous system: Nerve cord accompanies cephalization and bilateral symmetry.
Advanced muscle tissue present;
Primitive excretory system allows removal of metabolic wastes

Flatworms (Phylum Platyhelminthes)
Definition:
Flatworms are soft, flattened worms that have tissues and internal organ systems.
They are the simplest animals to have 3 embryonic germ layers, bilateral symmetry, and cephalization
Flatworms are acoelomates, meaning “without a coelom”
coelom = a fluid-filled body cavity that is lined with mesoderm
mesoderm = middle germ layer that gives rise to muscles, circulatory, reproductive, and excretory systems
![Page 6: BIOL 316Phylum Platyhelminthes1 Biology 11 – Kingdom Animalia Study of the Primitive Worms Phylum Platyhelminthes: Flatworms Phylum Nematoda: Roundworms](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e535503460f94b49027/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Phylum Platyhelminthes Characteristics
Bilateral symmetry; anterior and posterior ends.
Body flattened Well-developed epidermis
No internal body cavity other than digestive tube (acoelomate)
Parenchyma (connective tissue) fills space between organs.
Incomplete digestive system Still one opening This critter eats and poops out of its
mouth – mmmm, pass the popcorn

Advantage of Being Flat
Surface area to volume ratio is important for organisms.
Many substances enter and leave through body surface.
Faster absorption and release of wastes

Nutrition and Digestion
Typical digestive system includes a mouth, a pharynx, and an intestine.
Parasitic Tapeworms and Flukes lack a digestive system Parasitic flatworms, such as the
Tapeworm absorb molecules from host. Free living flatworms (Planarians) are
carnivorous; suck prey into pharynx with mouth. Undigested food goes out mouth. Yes,
folks, they eat and excrete out the same hole
![Page 10: BIOL 316Phylum Platyhelminthes1 Biology 11 – Kingdom Animalia Study of the Primitive Worms Phylum Platyhelminthes: Flatworms Phylum Nematoda: Roundworms](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e535503460f94b49027/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Flatworm Respiratory, Circulatory, and Excretory System
Lack circulatory, respiratory, and excretory systems.
Flatworms rely on diffusion to transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, to remove CO2 and other wastes
Some flatworms have flame cells – specialized cells that remove excess water and metabolic wastes
![Page 11: BIOL 316Phylum Platyhelminthes1 Biology 11 – Kingdom Animalia Study of the Primitive Worms Phylum Platyhelminthes: Flatworms Phylum Nematoda: Roundworms](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e535503460f94b49027/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Nervous System and Sense Organs
Have a nerve-net.
Most have more complex system.
Cerebral ganglion = primitive brain coordinates impulses.
“Ladder” system carries impulses throughout body
Many sense organs present Eyespots Chemoreceptors, touch sensors
and rheoreceptors (sense direction) also common
![Page 12: BIOL 316Phylum Platyhelminthes1 Biology 11 – Kingdom Animalia Study of the Primitive Worms Phylum Platyhelminthes: Flatworms Phylum Nematoda: Roundworms](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e535503460f94b49027/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Note: Free-living vs. Parasitic
Free-living (eg Planarians) have well developed digestive and nervous systems to seek-out and process food
Parasitic Tapeworms – rely on host’s digestive system to process food, which absorb. No need for advancement of nervous system – not needed.

Reproduction – in Free-living Flatwormssuch as Planarians
May reproduce sexually or asexually
Asexual: Binary fission – split in two
Sexual: Both sexes present in same
flatworm (hermaphrodites). Fertilization internal, eggs
produced Embryos emerge as juveniles
resembling adults.

Reproduction in theTapeworm!
Lack digestive system
Sucker and hooks on anterior end for attachment
Neck produces new segments Called proglottids
Each proglottid contains male and female gonads
Reproductive output high Many proglottids per worm Many eggs per proglottid

Phylum Nematoda (Roundworms)
Definition: Roundworms are unsegmented worms that have
pseudocoeloms and digestive systems with two openings – a mouth and an anus
Pseudocoelom = “false coelom” Is a body cavity between the endoderm and mesoderm tissues,
partially lined with mesoderm tissue

Form and Function in Roundworms
Feeding: free-living carnivores; or eat algae, fungi, decaying organic matter
Respiration: gases diffuse through body walls Circulation: no internal transport system
diffusion Excretion: metabolic wastes diffuse through body
walls

27
Form and Function in Roundworms
Response: ganglia from the head and run through length of body; sense organs to detect chemicals of other organisms
Movement: muscles and fluid of the pseudocoelom function as a hydrostatic skeleton; allows movement (swimming or pushing through soil)
Reproduction: sexual reproduction; internal fertilization, were male deposits sperm inside the female’s reproductive tract

Parasites: Your Pet's Enemies
Tiny parasites that pose a gigantic threat
Heart worms inside the dog's heart, can grow to a length of 14".
What they do:Restrict blood flow and cause organ damage. Symptoms include coughing. labored breathing, heart failure. Untreated, heart worm disease can kill a dog. Death may occur within 72 hours.
How they spread:Transmitted by over 70 species of mosquitoes. Virtually all dogs are at risk.
Defending against them: Once a month prevention is recommended, contact your local veterinarian for advice.
![Page 33: BIOL 316Phylum Platyhelminthes1 Biology 11 – Kingdom Animalia Study of the Primitive Worms Phylum Platyhelminthes: Flatworms Phylum Nematoda: Roundworms](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e535503460f94b49027/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Adult roundworms live in the dog's small intestine.
What they do:Cause diarrhea, vomiting, stunted growth, rough coat, bloated belly.
How they spread:Almost all puppies get roundworms from their mothers. Dogs can also pick up roundworms from the soil.
Defending against them: Once a month prevention is recommended, contact your local veterinarian for advice.

34
Enlarged hook worm mouth showing 'teeth'.
What they do:Attach to the dog's intestinal lining, leaving
bleeding internal wounds. Cause blood loss, anemia, and diarrhea. As few as 100 hook
worms can kill a puppy.
How they spread:Eggs pass through the feces of an infected
dog into the soil where they are easily swallowed or can penetrate through a dog's
feet.
Defending against them: Once a month prevention is recommended, contact your
local veterinarian for advice.

35
Symptoms:
Larvae digested enter bloodstream
and burrow into organs, causing
absolutely horrendous pain
and in some cases death.

Filarial (threadlike worms) are nematodes that may block the passage of Fluids in the Body
Disease: Elephantitis
The disease is caused by parasitic worms, including Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and B. timori, all transmitted by mosquitoes. Lymphatic filariasis currently affects 120 million people worldwide, and 40 million
Blocks Lymphatic nodes which drain fluid to and from the blood.
Tropics, Africa and Asia

Phylum Annelida (Earthworms)
Annelida annellus, meaning “little ring”
Definition: Annelids are worms with segmented bodies.
They have a true coelom that is lined with tissue derived from mesoderm.

39
Body Plan
The body of an annelid is divided into segments separated by septa (singular: septum) Septum – internal walls between each segment Most segments contain the same organs (eyes,
antennae, sense), while others are specialized Most segments have bristles called setae

41
Feeding and Digestion
Annelids may be filter feeders or predators (carnivorous)
Annelids use their pharynx (with jaws) to bring food into the esophagus. The food then go into the crop (food storage) and then to the gizzard (food is ground up). Then food is absorbed in the intestine.

43
Circulation
Annelids have a closed circulatory system. Closed circulatory system:
Blood is contained in a network of blood vessels
•Blood circulates through a dorsal vessel and a ventral vessel, and smaller blood vessels through each segment
•Dorsal vessel helps pump blood

47
Response
Most annelids have a well-developed nervous system with a brain and nerve cords
Other sense organs: Sense receptors, chemical receptors, sensors
that detect gravity

48
Movement
Hydrostatic skeleton Contraction of longitudinal and circular muscles
Annelids can burrow, use setae, or parapodia (paddlelike appendages for swimming or crawling)

Reproduction
Sexual reproduction May have separate sexes and external fertilization
OR Annelids are hermaphrodites and exchange sperm with
another worm Two worms attach, exchange sperm, and store it in
sacs A clitellum (a thick band) secretes a mucus ring
where the egg and sperm are released and fertilization takes place inside this ring
The ring falls off the worm and forms a cocoon, where the eggs will hatch

Class Hirudinea
• Leeches
• External parasites that suck blood and body fluids of host
• Medical uses: reduce swelling, helps blood clotting
• Have suckers at one or both ends for attachment. Produce a chemical in saliva called HIRUDIN, which is an anti-coagulant

Ecology of Annelids
Annelids are important for our environment because they: Burrow through the soil, aerating and mixing it Decompose plant matter Food source (for birds, moles, toads, snakes,
etc.)
