collar
trunk- has gill’ slits
what connects coelom to the water outside Enteropneusta
coelomopore
what does each body region have Enteropneusta
own eucoelomic cavity or pair of cavities
similar to Cephalochordata Enteropneusta
pharyngeal slits that may be may be homologous with chordate branchial slits
what does cilia on pharyngeal slits do Enteropneusta
generate current that sucks water through mouth and expels it through holes in pharynx to outside
proboscis is covered with
what is it used for? Enteropneusta
cilia and mucus and is used for feeding
where are desirable particles added? Enteropneusta
iodine-
rich mucus cord
Enteropneusta feeding
nonselective deposit feeders that create large casts of
undigested sediment- ike eartyhworms
where do enteropneusts live
some in burrows
others live on the surface of sediments
reproduction enteropneusts
asexually by multiple transverse fissions
and sexually via broadcast
spawning
