Limb Functions

Anatomy

Phylum Mollusca

Introduction

• Includes animals such as squids, snails, oysters, clams and slugs.• Most are marine, but many are freshwater and some live on the land• Despite the diversity of form and function among the molluscs, all members of this group have the same basic body plan.• This is often indicated by presenting a hypothetical ancestral mollusc (HAM)• HAM is hypothetical primitive ancestor that has characteristics that appear among most members of the mollusca

A Closer look at HAM

The foot - a broad, flat muscular organ that is adapted for locomotion and attachmentThe visceral mass - contains the internal organsThe mantle - a fold of tissue that drapes over the visceral mass; space between the mantle and the visceral mass is called the mantle cavity

• The inner nacreous layer is composed of calcium carbonate sheets laid down over a thin layer of protein

• The gills of HAM are often indicated as one or more pairs of bipectinate gills, - flattened filaments attached to a longitudinal axis on either side

Gills

The Radula• The mouth cavity of HAM possesses a specialized rasping organ called the radula; sits on a cartilaginous structure - odontophore• Particles of food brought into the mouth are bound in mucous secreted by the salivary glands

29

Body Plan of Mollusks

Molluscan Diversity

Class Gastropoda

• Three evolutionary innovations occurred among the gastropods: changes in the shell, increased development of the head, the embryonic process of torsion

1. Changes in the Shell• The shell became higher and conical with a reduced aperture• The shell also became coiled• Shells initially were planospiral - bilaterally symmetrical shell with the whorls lying in the same plane• Modern day shells are asymmetrical - each successive coil is a little outside and offset a little above the one below

Why was there a change in shell architecture?• Planospiral shell was not as compact as the asymmetrical shell • But, this change in symmetry of the shell created a shift in the weight to one side of the animal• To achieve a better weight distribution, the shell needed to shift upward and posterior • The shell axis then became oblique to the longitudinal axis of the foot (= bilateral asymmetry)• The weight and bulk of the main body whorl, pressed on the right side of the mantle cavity; thus, many of the organs on the right side became lost during evolution

2. The Increased Development of the Head

• The head bears 2 pairs of tentacles, with the eyespots at the base of one pair

eyespots

tentacles

3. The Embryonic Process known as TorsionDuring embryonic development, 1 side of the visceral mass grows at a much faster rate than the other.• Causes the visceral mass to rotate 180 degrees relative to the head-foot.• Advantages: head retracted first; gills receive water currents; the osphradium (olfactory organ associated with respiratory organs) is now directed anteriorly• Disadvantage: may cause fouling

36

Mollusks

• Mollusks (cont.)– Nervous system consists of several ganglia

connected by nerve cords– Coelom (absorbs shock) is reduced, and largely

limited to the region around the heart– Heart pumps hemolymph through vessels into

hemocoel

Adaptations to Avoid Fouling

• Improved separation of inhalent and exhalent water flow• In some of the more primitive gastropods (keyhole limpets), the shell contains a hole at the top through which the exhalent water stream exits• In the more advanced gastropods, water is brought into the mantle cavity on the left side, passes over a single gill, and exits the right side

Shell

• Most have a single, spiraled shell and can move the entire head and foot into this shell for protection.• Also, many gastropods have a hardened plate called the operculum on the back of the foot that plugs the shell aperture when the body is withdrawn

Bellwork: 12/04/2012Label: spire, aperture, whorls, sutures, body whorl, anterior, posterior

Nutrition• Many gastropods are herbivores and use their radula scrap algae from surfaces of rocks • Some gastropods are active predators and in these the radula is often highly modified, e.g., as a drill (oyster drills) or harpoon (venomous gastropods)

Cone snail

Respiration

• Aquatic gastropods possess gills for respiration• Terrestrial gastropods obtain oxygen via a well vascularized mantle

gills

Vascularized

mantle

Bivalves• Clams, oysters, mussels, and scallops

• Shell of two hinged parts, closed by powerful muscles

• No head, no radula

• Circulatory system open

• Sexes are separate

• Ciliated gills hang down within mantle cavity on either side of visceral massBeating of cilia causes water to enter cavityFilter Feeders – capture tiny food particles suspended in

water

44

Bivalve Diversity

Class Bivalvia

• Shells divided into 2 equal halves or valves• Mantle tissue is indented in the anterior-posterior margins, with 2 centers of calcification• Shells joined at the dorsal midline by a non calcified protein ligaments called the hinge• Muscles fused across the width (from left to right) at 1 anterior and posterior position and form adductor muscles; connect the 2 shell across their width; close the shell

Gills as filters

• Gills play an important role in feeding: of the total volume of water that is processed by gills only 5% is required for gaseous exchange; 95% of the volume is used to supply the animal with food

Adaptive Radiation of Bivalves

Soft Bottom Burrowers• Those that live deep in the sand or mud; burrowing is accomplished using the foot that is extended through a specific part of the shell - the pedal gap• These molluscs have long tubular extensions of the mantle called siphons, with both inhalent and exhalent opening

Attached Surface Dwellers• Those that live attached to hard surfaces• Some (i.e. oysters) lie on their side and have one of the shell fused or cemented to the substrate; foot is absent• The common mussels attach to the substrate by means of byssal threads, secreted by glands in the foot; foot is reduce in the organisms

Adaptive Radiation of Bivalves con’t

Unattached Surface Dwellers• Rest unattached on the substrate• Capable of limited locomotion by rapid clapping of their valves using a powerful adductor muscle; forces a jet of water out of the mantle cavity

Hard Bottom Burrowers• Several species of bivalves are capable of burrowing into hard surfaces such as rock, coral, wood• Use the anterior margins of their shell to chip away at the rock; some secrete chemical to breakdown rock

Adaptive Radiation of Bivalves

Cephalopods

• Large head attached to tentacles with suction cups or hooks

• Most lack shell (except nautilus)

• Most intelligent of all invertebrates

Cephalopods• Squid, octopus, cuttlefish, nautilus

• Differs from other mollusks in their appearance and specializations for life as active carnivores

– Active swimmers (can catch fish)

– Very responsive to stimuli

– All but nautilus have an ink sac used to confuse predators

– Body can change color in response to stimuli through use of Chromatophores

– Have an extremely well-developed eye

Feeding

• Cephalopods are carnivores• Have a powerful parrot like beak that is used to tear prey apart.• They also have a powerful radula• In some of the octopuses the salivary glands are modified poison glands

Locomotion• Cephalopods are excellent swimmers: streamlined body;

tentacles and fins as stabilizers

• Swim by means of jet propulsion, using the highly modified muscular mantle and the siphon– By relaxing the mantle the mantle cavity is expanded and water can be

drawn in

– By contracting the mantle water can be forced out of the mantle cavity by means of the small siphonal opening

Shell• Primitively the cephalopods possessed a shell; the fossil record indicates both coiled and non-coiled shells• Extant members with coiled shells include Nautilus• Some cephalopods (cuttlefishes) have an internal shell - cuddle bone•The octopods have lost the shell entirely

Other General Features• For protection, they possess an ink sacs• Cephalopods have well-developed sense organs, including a camera type eye• Some have well-developed brains and show a remarkable capacity for learning.• Cephalopods are the only molluscan class with a closed circulatory system

Reproduction• Sexes are separate

• Sperm is transferred to females in packets - spermatophores

• Male uses a tentacle to reach into its mantle cavity and pick up some spermatophores

• It then inserts the tentacle into the mantle cavity of the female near or within the oviduct

Examples of Cephalopods

• A giant squid (3.15-metre-long) has netted off the UK coast; first time in 15 years. • The squid, believed to be female and three years old, did not survive being brought to the surface.

• Close-up view of an unknown species of bathypelagic squid encountered by ROV Tiburon at 3,380 meters depth off the coast of Oahu. • This animal was estimated to be four to five meters in length.• Different from other squids in that their eight arms and two tentacles are roughly equal in length and thickness.
