BIOL 211 Concepts of Zoology Exam 4 Study Guide For chapters 16, 18, 19, 20, and 21. Covering concepts like synapomorphies, phylums, clades, respiration, reproduction, feeding, and locomotion. Phylum mollusca, class polyplacophora, gastropoda, bivalvia, cephalopoda, phylum annelida, etc.

16.2 What are three synapomorphies that define Phylum Mollusca
★ Radula
★ Mantle
★ Muscular foot
16.3 Describe the body plan and general features found in Phylum Mollusca.
Describe the features of the ‘head-foot’ and the ‘visceral mass’.
● General features
○ Bilateral symmetry
○ Complete gut
○ Ecoelomate
■ All protostomes form coelom by schizocoely
■ Coelom reduced to hemocoel
○ Open circulatory system
○ Excretion → metanephridia (type of ‘kidney’)
○ Nervous system and sense organs
○ Reproduction → sexual reproduction (some hermaphroditic)
● Body organization
○ Head-foot
■ Radula → feeding
● Rasp and scrape food; absent in bivalves
■ Sensory
■ Muscular foot → locomotion
○ Visceral mass (organs)
■ Mantle → secrete shell and protect viscera
● Encloses mantle cavity; surface for respiration
● Mantle cavity → space for H2O circulation; house gills or
lung; exit for waste and gametes
■ Viscera → organs
■ Metanephridia→ excretory organ (nitrogenous waste)
● Open on both ends; nephrostome opens to coelom, exit
to mantle cavity
