ASSIGNED TUESDAY --LOG 15 MINUTES BY 10 PM Monday (2/12)

AB
trochophoreThe larval form of a mollusc is known as a:(n) __________ _
shellMost molluscs have a protective cover over their body known as a(n0 _____
coelomMolluscs are the first creatures we have studied that have a true body cavity known as a(n) __________
mantleThe folded dorsal wall of a mollusc makes up
locomotionCharacteristic for classifying molluscs
openType of circulatory system for most molluscs
radulascraping mouth part
mantlepart that secretes substance that makes up the shell
sinistralleft side (hand) shell
Eucoelomatetrue body cavity
molluscasoft body
mantleHouses gills (ctenidia), secretes shell, encloses body.
Class BivalviaOnly class without radula. Filter feeders. Include clams, oysters, scallops, "shipworms" No head.
Class Gastropodacontains 75-80% of all animals in Phylum. "stomach-footed animal". Large ventral foot.
Class Scaphopoda"tusk-footed" or "tooth-footed" animals
open circulationbody fluid (hemolymph) bathes the organs directly
Class Cephalopoda"Head-footed animals". ALL marine predators. Include: squid, octupus, nautilus.
bivalvemollusks having a soft body with platelike gills enclosed within two shells hinged together
visceral massarea beneath the mantle of a mollusk that contains the internal organs
gillsorgans that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with water
umbooldest part of the shell of a bivalve from which the shell grows
operculumIt is a piece of shell attached to the foot of the gastropod. Used to seal the aperture when the organism is inside it's shell which provides protection from predators and drying out.
labial palpsstructures surrounding the mouth that trap and manipulate the food
bivalveshas a two part hinged shell
cephalopodsclass of molluscs that have closed circulatory system
Class GastropodaMemebers of this class have a radula
Class GastropodaMembers of this class undergo a process called torsion
HemocoelThe cavity within the body tissues is filled with circulatory fluid to bathe the tissues
adductorThese powerful muscles are used to open and closed valves
Class CephalopodaThis class has the most advanced nervous system
hingethis structure connects two valves
gangliaAn enlarged nerve ending that serves as a primitve brain
palpsthese structures help to direct food into the mouth
Incurrent SIphonStructure through which water, food, and oxygen enter the clam
CiliaThese beating structures help to draw water into the clam
excurrent siphonstructure through which water and wastes leave the clam
hemolymphcirculatory fluid found in the clam
chromotophorescolor-changing pigment cells that provide camoflage to cephalopods
nacreInner layer of shell secreted continuously in thin layers by mantle; becomes thicker over life of mollusc
torsionShift in the position of visceral & mantle organs by 180° in development
spermatophoreCapsule or packet enclosing sperm; produced by males -Class Gastropoda
penA flattened, flexible internal support in a squid; remnant of ancestral shell -Class Cephalopoda
