Occurrence: Annelida
- are found in marine environments, in freshwater, and in moist terrestrial environments
Occurrence: Molluscs
- predominantly aquatic animals – marine or freshwater, some live on the land
2. Describe morphology of body in Molluscs and Annelida
Molluscs Anelida
Integumentary S. -an outer epidermis and an -epidermis
underlying dermis -cuticle
-the epidermis usually
contains gland cells that
secrete mucus
the shell
Skeletal S. -shell -hydroskeleton
1. univalve shell = a one-
piece of shell
(Gastropoda – ulitníky)
2. bivalve shell =
composed of two parts
(Bivalvia – lastúrniky)
3. no shell (cephalopoda –
hlavonožce)
Muscular S. -smooth muscles -both longitudinal and
-ligament circular muscles
-1 or 2 adductor muscles.
provides movement at the
bottom of river, ocean…
Respiratory S. 1. gills – aquatic molluscs 1. gills (polychaetes )
2. pulmonary sacs– 2.diffusion - via the skin
terrestrial molluscs (earthworms, leeches)
Circulatory system:
- is open (only cephalopoda have closed CS)
- simple heart
- body liquid is represented by hemolymph
- pigments: heamoglobin, heamocyanin
Circulatory system:
- closed
dorsal vessel – blood flows toward the head
ventral vessel – blood returns to the terminal region
lateral vessels - blood is distributed to each body compartment
hearts - some of the lateral vessels are contractile and serve as
hearts
- body fluids:
blood - usually contains hemoglobin
tissue fluid
7. Characterize digestive system in Mollusc
Digestive system:
- mouth (radula – a feeding organ; salivary glands)→ oesophagus → stomach→ intestine
→ anus
- hepatopancreas – additional gland
8. Characterize digestive system in Annelida
Digestive system:
- complete digestive
- mouth → pharynx → oesophagus → crop → gizzard → intestine → anus
9. Compare nervous system in Molluscs and Annelida
Molluscs Annelida
Nervous S. -special ganglia in anterior -ladder-like/segmented
part of the body nervous system
-longitudinal nerves form -consists of a pair of nerve
ladder like nervous system cords that run through the
bottom part of the body and
have in each segment
paired ganglia linked by a
transverse connection
10. Sense system in Molluscs and Annelida
-garden snail – slimák záhradný, snail vibrant – slimák meňavý, slug - slizovec
lesný,Bielzia coerulans – slizniak karpatský
2 CLASS: Bivalvia
- Representatives:
- Unio pictorum – korýtko rybničné, Anodonta cygnea – škľabka veľká, Oyster
3 CLASS: Cephalopoda
Representatives:
- gills, and anus opening are behind the head, and the digestive track is “U“-shaped
- radula, calipers (hmátadlá), head, foot – are ciliated, covered with glands , visceral mass
- smaller gastropods use cilia for movement, larger muscular contraction
- open circulatory system
- lay eggs in soil
