Chapter 32 Flashcards
___ and echinoderms share a common ancestor and are closely related
chordates
___ and ___ are the two major phyla of living animals assigned to the deuterostomes
echinoderms and chordates
The largest chordate subphylum is
Vertebrata (fishes, amphibians, reptiles-which includes birds and mammals)
Deuterostomes
Blastopore becomes the anus
mouth develops from a second opening at the anterior end of the embryo
presence of pharyngeal slits at some time in the life cycle
true coelem
Echinoderms
Marine organisms that include sea stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, sea cucumbers
Echinoderms larvae are ___ symmetrical, ___, and ____
bilaterally symmetrical, ciliated, and free-swimming
echinoderm adults exhibit
pentaradial symmetry (from bilateral larvae)
Water vascular system in Echinoderms
functions in feeding, gas exchange, and as a hydrostatic skeleton for locomotion
The endoskeleton of echinoderms consists of ___ ___ plates (ossicles) and ___
calcium carbonate and spines
some echinoderms have ___
modified spines (pedicellariae)
echinoderms NS
Simple nervous system - no brain
Five extant groups of echinoderms:
- Class Crinoidea
- Asteroidea
- Ophiuroidea
- Echinoidea
- Holothuroidea
Class Asteroidea includes
sea stars and sea daisies
Asteroidea bodies
have central disc with 5 to 20 arms
under each arm are many pairs of tube feet
Asteroidea have ___ of calcareous plates
endoskeleton
Sea stars prey on
the stationary/slow
sea daisies absorb
bacteria
Major characteristics of Chordates
Deuterostomes with bilateral symmetry, a tube-within-a-tube body plan, and three well-developed germ layers
three subphyla of Chordates
- Urochordates (marine tunicates)
- Cephalochordates (marine lancelets)
- Vertebrates (animals with backbones)
Four characters of chordates
- Notochord during some time in their life
- hollow dorsal, tubular nerve cord during some time in their life
- A chordate larva or embryo has a muscular postanal tail
- All chordates have an endostyle or a thyroid gland evolved from the endostyle
hemichordates
releases mucus to capture food
