Bio Lab 6 (Chordata) Flashcards
phyla
Echinodermata and Chordata
symmetry
echinodermata: as larvae, they are bilateral. ONLY ADULTS radially symmetrical
chardata have bilateral symmetry
germ layers
both are triploblastic
organs of echinodermata?
have ossicles (plates) embedded in their skin. have a water vascular system with tube feet
- have 5 repetitive parts (pentaradial) but larvae are bilaterally symmetrical
- 5 classes depend on arrangement of ossicles
coelom?
both are coelomates
mouth and anus?
both have mouth and anus
are they protostomes or deuterostomes?
deuterostomes
deuterostomes
Radial cleavage- aligned division
Indeterminate- individual cells can form whole embryo (identical twins)
Blastopore associated with anus
echinodermata
sea stars, sea urchins, sand dollars and sand cucumbers
- have ossicles
- have a unique vascular system that end in tube feet
chordata
mammals, fish, reptiles, birds, amphibians
class asteroidea
sea stars
- have a mouth on the oral surface an anus on the top (aboral surface)
- have dermal gills on aboral surface and pincers that help get things off of it that grow
- have a madreporite for water vascular system that connects to the water on the aboral surface
- have ambulacral grooves
- have pedicellariae to remove debris from the surface
class ophiuroidea
brittle stars
- arms detach easily
- grooves are closed and reduced feet are not used to move, the arms are
class crinoidea
sea Lillies and feather stars
(stalked sea stars)
- use their branched arms in filter feeding
- their oral surface faces up and are usually more sessile
class echinoidea
sea urchin and sea dollars
- ossicles are fused into a solid shell test
- have five teeth called Aristotle’s lantern that allow it to eat
- have barbed spines that can be toxic
class holothuroidea
sea cucumbers
- have modified tube feet called tentacles
- radial symmetry is less evident
- can rupture in defence
