27 Flashcards
Deuterostomia extant phyla
Echinodermata, Hemichordata, Chordata
symmetry Echinodermata
pentaradially symmetrical
what is the armor of Echinodermata
endoskeleton made of calcium carbonate ossicles
Echinodermata ossicles
connected by mutable collagenous tissues allowing them to quickly go from rock hard
to soft and floppy without rock hard state expending energy on muscular contraction
what do Echinodermata have instead of a circulatory system
water-vascular system open to sea-water
echinoderms surfaces
oral and aboral surfaces
what are the exceptions of the echinoderm sufaces
exceptions are sea cucumbers
why was radial symmetry selected
suspension-feeding lifestyle
do other group of animals shows a 5-part radial symmetry
no other groups
what lie along ambucular tracts
5 rows of tube feet
what are tubular feet also called
podia
what give the name echinodermata
porous, calcareous, intradermal ossicles
how do ossicles originate
originates intracellularly
how are ossicles connected
ossicles are connected to each other with
collagen, and spaces between them filled
with living tissue
ways ossicles can be arranged
-3-D meshwork
-interlocking chain
-rigid test with movable spines
-small and isolated
ossicles specialized as tiny jaws
pedicellariae
-they pinch
pedicellariae
-defense
-anti-fouling
-capture prey
-can be venomous and shot at predators
how many eucoelomic systems echinoderms
five different
large eucoelomic systems echinoderms
what do they aid with
perivisceral
coelom and water-vascular system
that aid with circulation of oxygen and nutrients
what are perivisceral coelom and water-vascular system lined with?
cilia
are perivisceral coelom and water-vascular system isosmotic
no, they have added potassium
water-vascular system what does it do and how does it work
operate the tube feet through
water enters through madreporite to ring canal to 5 radial canals going down ambulacral grooves
how do tube feed extend and retract or bend
hydrostatic pressure via ampullae and retract of bend them muscles
how do suckers on tube feet work
sticky mucus, and vaccume
original function of the water
vascular system and tube feet was
who still has this
feeding
-crinoids
when an external madreporite is present
it is off-centre
echinoderms lacking
-no brain, central nervous cord or ganglia
-excretory organs
-lack specialized gas-exchange system
-lack intestines and/or anal opening
-lack image-forming eyes
instead of brain, central nervous cord or ganglia echinoderms have
arrays of nerve fibres
a nerve ring around mouth radial cords to arms
echinoderms sexes
separate
echinoderms breeding
always broadcast sperm
eggs broadcast or brooded
larvae produced by broadcast vs brooded echinoderms
broadcast have little yolk and planktotrophic
brooded yolky and lecithotrophic
