Phylum Nematoda
Highest abundance of any animal on planet:
4 million / square meter in marine
~ 16,000 species described
> 100,000 predicted taxa

Phylum Nematoda• Triploblastic, bilateral, vermiform, unsegmented• Complete gut • No circulatory or gas exchange structures• Longitudinal muscles ONLY

Dioecious - males have “hooked” posterior
Marine, freshwater, terrestrial
some free-living, some parasitic

Nematoda body wall
• Cuticle secreted by epidermis• Epidermis: syncytial = nuclei not separated by complete cell
membranes
• Longitudinal nerve cords
![Page 5: Phylum Nematoda Highest abundance of any animal on planet: 4 million / square meter in marine ~ 16,000 species described > 100,000 predicted taxa](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ea85503460f94bac877/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Support and Locomotion
• Longitudinal muscles • No circular muscle layer (burrowing impossible)• Body cavity not spacious, filled with organs• Cuticle provides support = hydrostatic• Whiplike undulatory motion
![Page 6: Phylum Nematoda Highest abundance of any animal on planet: 4 million / square meter in marine ~ 16,000 species described > 100,000 predicted taxa](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ea85503460f94bac877/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Feeding
• Detritivores, microscavengers: consume bacteria/fungi on decomposing organic matter
• Free-living taxa can be carnivores
Nematodes feeding on termite

Digestion
Complete digestive tract: mouth, pharynx, intestine, anus
Pharynx adds enzymesDigestion extracellular

Circulation, Gas Exchange, Excretion, Osmoregulation
• Circulation and gas exchange by diffusion and movement of body cavity fluids
• Excretory system: renette?• Cuticle differentially permeable to water (H2O
in but not out)

Nervous System and Sense Organs
• Cerebral ganglion = nerve ring and ganglia
• Nerves extend from nerve ring• Abundant sense organs = papillae
and setae (tactile receptors)• Amphids - paired organs on head =
chemosensory

Reproduction and Development• Mostly dioecious: sperm amoeboid• Few hermaphroditic (sperm and egg production in same
gonad = ovitestis)• Few parthenogenetic• Female: ovary, oviduct, uterus, vagina, gonopore

Cool Nematodes!Guinea worm: female can be 1 m long, just under skin, produces ulcer
that causes opening, release young (to intermediate copepod host)

Phylum Nematomorpha
• “thread body” = Hair Worms• 2 orders– marine– freshwater and terrestrial
![Page 20: Phylum Nematoda Highest abundance of any animal on planet: 4 million / square meter in marine ~ 16,000 species described > 100,000 predicted taxa](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ea85503460f94bac877/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hair worms
• ~ 320 species described•5 are marine•Adults all free-living•Adults do not feed = nonfunctional digestive tracts
![Page 21: Phylum Nematoda Highest abundance of any animal on planet: 4 million / square meter in marine ~ 16,000 species described > 100,000 predicted taxa](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ea85503460f94bac877/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
•Juveniles are internal parasites•Lack digestive tract•Mostly insect hosts•Details of life cycles unknown for most species
