What is a lophophore?
A crown of ciliated tentacles for feeding
1 of 13
What is a trochophora?
A simple larvae with cilia belt
2 of 13
Characteristics of ectoprocta
Colonial, hard exoskeleton, retractable lophophore
3 of 13
Characteristics of brachiopoda
resembles clams but with dorsal-ventral shell halves, pedicle anchors them to the substrate, lophophore for filter feeding
4 of 13
Characteristics of nemertea
long & thin ribbon worms, proboscis used for hunting, circular muscles contract to increase presure, exverting proboscis

Characteristics of annelida
segmented worm consisting of polychaetes and oligochaetes - each segment has its own excretory system, one ganglion per segment
6 of 13
Characteristics of polychaeta
Generally marine, clear head region, each segment has parapodia and cheatae, alternates between left & right parapodial power strokes
7 of 13
Examples of polychaeta
fan worms and christmas tree worms
8 of 13
Characteristics of oligochaeta
earthworms, no clear head region, locomotion by perstalic crawling, chaetae provide anchor
