ch 24: echinodermata Flashcards
deuterostome development (4)
- radial and indeterminate cells
- folds on archenteron form coelom
- anus develops from blastopore
- nerve cords on dorsal side
echino circ sys
closed
what type of sym do echino larvae hacve
bi
what type of sym do adults have
pentaradial
what is a polian vesicle
dead end of the WVS
3 uses for the WVS
- feeding
- locomotion
- gas exchange surface
what can alter the connective tissues hardness/fluidity
the nervous sys
class stelleroidea (3)
- sea stars
- brittle stars
- basket stars
class echinoidea (2)
- urchins
- sand dollars
class holothuroidea
sea cuces
stelleroidea defining feat
arms radiate from central disc
2 feats if asteroidea/sea stars
- arms thick and not used for locomotion
- predators
4 functs of tube feet
- locomotion
- hold and pull apart prey
- excretion
- resp
stelleroidea feeding (2)
- evert stomach to externally digest prey
- release digestive enzymes (pyloric cecae)
3 protection feats in stelleroidea
- calcareous plates/ossicles
- ambulacral ossicles protect vessels and nerves of the arms
- pedicellariae = pinching jaws
stelleroidea nerves (2)
- uncentralized nerve net
- tube feet at arm tips sense chemicals and light
dermal branchiae in stelleroidea
skin gills - extra area for gas exchange
do stelleroidea do asexual repro?
yes; budding
