II. Animal Diversity
a. Lophotrochozoans
1. Platyhelminthes
a. Diversity
- Planarians
(free-living)
II. Animal Diversity
a. Lophotrochozoans
1. Platyhelminthes
a. Diversity
- Planarians
- Tapeworms - parasitic
II. Animal Diversity
a. Lophotrochozoans
1. Platyhelminthes
a. Diversity
- Planarians
- Tapeworms - parasitic
- Flukes – parasiticComplex life cycles
II. Animal Diversity
a. Lophotrochozoans
1. Platyhelminthes
b. body plan
- bilateral
- nerve net cephalized – nerve ring
II. Animal Diversity
a. Lophotrochozoans
1. Platyhelminthes
b. body plan
- bilateral
- nerve net cephalized – nerve ring
- ‘acoelomate’ – deep tissues…
II. Animal Diversity
a. Lophotrochozoans
1. Platyhelminthes
b. body plan
- bilateral
- nerve net cephalized – nerve ring
- ‘acoelomate’ – deep tissues…
- pharynx and convoluted gut: convoluted gut serves to distribute nutrients to “deep” tissues…acts as a ‘vascular’ (distributive) system… so the gut is called a “gastrovascular” cavity.
II. Animal Diversity
a. Lophotrochozoans
2. Lophophores
- a diverse group of worm-like animals that have the same feeding structure – a “lophophore”
- complete gut

a. Lophotrochozoans
3. Spiralians – wormy or segmented
a. Annelida – segmented worms

1. Diversity
- polychaetes
- oligochaetes
- leeches
II. Animal Diversity
a. Lophotrochozoans
3. Spiralians – wormy or segmented
a. Annelida – segmented worms
2. Body Plan
- coelomate
- segmentation – allows for specialization of body parts and refined locomotion

II. Animal Diversity
a. Lophotrochozoans
3. Spiralians – wormy or segmented
b. Mollusca – reduced segmentation; shells
2. Body Plan
- reduction of segmentation (fusion)
- decephalization in sessile orgs
II. Animal Diversity
Aside… Patterns
1. Digestion:
- blind gut
- complete gut,
- sementation and specialized organs,
- reduced segmentation
II. Animal Diversity
Aside… Patterns
2. Cephalization:
- nerve net – radial symmetry (no head)
- bilateral symmetry - head
- increased cephalization – senses forward
- complex brain (cephalopods)
II. Animal Diversity
b. Ecdysozoans
- exoskeleton that must be shed for growth;
either a thin flexible CUTICLE, or a more
rigid exoskeleton with chitin.

b. Ecdysozoans
- Phylogeny

b. Ecdysozoans
- exoskeleton that must be shed for growth;
either a thin flexible CUTICLE, or a more
rigid exoskeleton with chitin.
- This is also a very diverse assemblage of Phyla; we are only going to consider a few.
