Chapter 34 Flashcards
What are the two classes in Ambulacraria?
Echinoderms
Hemichordates
What are the three classes in Chordata?
Cephalochordata
Urochordata
Vertebrates
What does Echinodermata mean?
Spiny Skin
What are the main features of Echinodermata?
- dermal ossicles
- spines
- bilateral larvae
- adults have pentameric symmetry
What systems do Echinodermata have?
- water vascular system
- complete digestive system
- incomplete nervous system
- respiratory system
Echinodermata directional names
aboral = dorsal oral = ventral
Dermal Ossicles
CaCO3, plate-like
Spines
Spines of various sizes, may be absent
Water vascular system
Enables tube feet to adhere to substrate
Echinodermata nervous system
Incomplete, no brain
has central nerve net (simple)
Echinodermata excretory system
lose NH3 out of skin gills
Echinodermata respiratory system
skin gills = flap of skin, diffusion
sea cucumber use a respiratory tree
What are the four characteristics of Chordates?
- Pharyngeal gill pouches
- Notochord
- Dorsal Hollow Nerve Tube
- Post-Anal Tail
Pharyngeal gill pouches
- develop into another structure
- perforate into gill slits
Notochord
rod of vacuolated cells wrapped in connective tissue
-body axis, skeletal element
Cephalochordata
- lanclets
- look like fish
- metameric, muscle band separated
Urochordata
- sea squirts
- filter feeders as larvae, transient
- adults: lose nervous system, plant on a rock and stay to eat
Craniata
- brain case/skeletal protection
- hagfish, retains notochord, no mouth (agnathan)
