PHYLUM : MOLLUSCA BY YULIA RAHMAWATI (1606103010046) PENDIDIKAN BIOLOGI FKIP UNSYIAH 2016
DEFINITION • The words mollusc derived from the French mollusque, which originated from the Latin molluscus, mean soft, which applied to cuttlefish. The scientific study of molluscs is accordingly called malacology.
CHARACTERISTIC • • • • • •
Have a mantle with cavity Have calcareous shell Unsegmented and have a radula Tripoblastic and Bilaterally symmetrical Have complete disgestive system Ceolomate
MORPHOLOGY OF MOLLUSKS • Usually devide into 2 part : Visceral mass
Head
Head (mouth)
Sensory structure
Foot (large muscle for movement)
heart
Disgestive organs
Excretion organs
Reproduction organs
• The mantle of mollusk covering of visceral mass that secretes the shell. • The shell is comprised of 3 layers, that are perostracum, prismatic, and nacreous layer.
BODY’S SYSTEMS • Nervous tissue made up by ganglia used for feeding, locomotion, and sensory information • Digestive system made up by radula and complete disgestive system
• Circulation of mollusk are open one use hemolymph • Reproduction o sexually only, some reproduce externally or internally. Some mollusk are dioecious or hermaphroditic
radula
gill
Circulation system
radula
CLASSIFICATION • Diverse group, over 100,000 living species (2nd ranking in number among animal phyla) • Of 7 classes, 4 classes covered: • Polyplacophora (chitons) • Gastropoda (gastropods) – snails, slugs, and nudibranchs (sea slugs) • Bivalvia (bivalves) – scallops, oysters, clams, etc. • Cephalopoda (cephalopods) – octopi, squid, cuttlefish, etc.
CLASS POLYPLACOPHORA • Class that cointain chitons. The characteristic are : • • • • • • •
Many-plated mollusk Lives in shallow marine water Feed on algae attached to rock eight overlapping valves muscular foot thick mantle Bipectinate Gills
• Common on the rocky surfaces of the intertidal zone • Head is poorly developed; ventral surface occupied by a broad, flattened foot • Has a dorsal shell composed of 8 overlapping plates, arranged linearly along the anterior-posterior axis
CLASS GASTROPODA • • • • •
Class of Snails and slugs Single external shell Radula for scraping food Moves in wave like contractions through slime Can be hermaphrodites, though commonly not
• Gonochoristic • Veliger larva
• Three evolutionary innovations occurred among the gastropods: changes in the shell, increased development of the head, the embryonic process of torsion
CLASS CEPHALOPODA • Means “head foot” • Includes octopuses, squids, cuttlefishes and chambered nautiluses • Free swimming and predatory • Tentacles with suction cups to grasp prey • Have jaws called beaks to destroy their prey • Has the largest invertebrate brain • muscular foot with tentacles (with suction discs) • thick mantle but no external shell • excurrent siphon (for jet propulsion)
• Can learn to perform tasks • Has complex eyes • Closed circulatory system • Are sexual – internal • Have ink to confuse predators • Closed circulatory system, 2 hearts
BIVALVES • • • • • • • • • • •
Two valves Adductor muscle Gills in mantle cavity Wedgelike foot Sessile Filter-feeders Extend the muscular foot into the sand to anchor it No specific head – but has ganglia The shell is made up from 3 layers Radula absent Reproduction by sexual
