echinodermata Flashcards
3 phyla of deuterostomia
echinodermata
hemichordata
chordata
share developmental features in deuterostomes
blastopore => anus
radial, indeterminate cleavage. eucoelom via enterocoely
synapomorphies of deuterostomia
pharyngeal slits
- three part body coelom
main unique of echinoderms
- pentaradial symmetry
- endoskeleton made of calcium carbonate
- ossicles connected by mutable collagenous tissues under neuronal control
- water vascular system
pentaradial symmetry
oral and aboral surface. radial bc sessile, sedentary, suspension-feeding.
endoskeleton of calcium carbonate
ossicles held together by living tissue
ossicles connected by mutable collagenous tissue under neuronal control
soft and floppy to rock hard by changing collagen texture at will. dont waste energy on muscular contractions.
special ossicles in sea urchins & starfish
- pedicellariae. look like jaws, pinch thru muscular action
water vascular system
- how many coeloms?
5 coeloms. lined with cilia to aid in circulation. fluid no isosmotic with sea water. - add K
function of polian vesicle?
help maintain internal pressure
tube feet extend how?
hydrostatic pressure form ampulla
primary function of water vascular systme?
feeding. locomotion arose later
name arms of ehinoderm
opposite madreporite = A
counter clockwise on aboral surface
what morphology do echinoderms lack?
brain, cns, ganglia, no excretory organs. lack eyes, no gas-xchange. lack intestine, and anal opening
reproduction and development in echinoderms
separate sexes.
broadcast sperm.
may be brooded eggs: lecithorophy, may be braodcast - planktotrophic
larva differ. but have bilateral symmetry.
