Q

Characteristics of Echinodermata

A
  • Marine bottom dwellers
  • “Spiny skin”
  • Have internal skeletons of calcareous plates, or ossicles
  • Usually have spines
  • Adults are radially symmetrical, larvae are bilaterally symmetrical
  • Water vascular system. Inside the starfish are water-filled canals, connected to the madreporite and the tube feet. It uses muscle and hydrostatic pressure to move the tube feet.

  • Soft bodies, very reduced ossicles and spines
19
Q

Characteristics of Chordata

A
  • Dorsal Hollow Nerve Chord (on top of notochord)
  • Notochord (cartilagenous rod)
  • Postanal tail
  • Pharyngeal slits (filter water, becomes gills)
  • Internal, bony skeleton is common
20
Q

List the subdivisions of Chordata

A

sp. Urochordata
sp. Cephalocordata
sp. Vertebrata

21
Q

Describe sp.Urochordata

A
  • Tunicates or sea squirt
  • Sessile.
  • Larvae are chordate-like with notochord and dorsal nerve cord
  • Adults look like a shirt (w/ cellulose shirt sac) and have pharyngeal slits
  • Adult filter feeds through incurrent and excurrent siphons
22
Q

Describe sp.Cephalochordata

A
  • Lancelets
  • Have notochord and dorsal nerve chord on top
  • Have gill openings separated by gill arches
  • Postanal tail
  • The quintessential Chordate :)
23
Q

Describe sp.Vertebrata. Just the aquatic animals.

A
  • Vertebral column instead of notochord; surrounds the nerve cord.
  • Have a distinct head
    c.Agnatha
    Lampreys, hagfish (Petromyzon). Larval form is ammocoete. No jaws, but they have notochord and endoskeleton
    Round buccal funnel, suction with teeth and rasping tongue
    c.Chondrichthyes
    Sharks, skates, rays. Cartilagenous endoskeleton. Anterior gill arches modified into Jaws the Movie. Pectoral fins are on the sides, pelvic at the end, both stabilize and help maneuver. Has lateral line and lots of other sensory organs.
    c.Osteichthyes
    Fish. Bony endoskeleton. Also have modified gill arches. Operculum is movable gill cover. Also has lateral line sensory organs. Have internal air bladders for buoyancy.
24
Q

Describe sp.Vertebrata. Just the terrestrial animals.

A

c.Amphibia
Terrestrial mostly, but lay eggs in water. Larva are tadpoles. Have soft moist skin for gas exchange.
c.Reptilia
Can internally fertilize. Lays watertight eggs. Dry skin with scales to avoid water loss. Well-developed lungs (internal gas exchange). Ectotherms.
- Chorion: outside film of egg. Watertight, but permeable to gases.
- Allantois: waste; Yolk sac: food; Amnion: baby
c.Aves
Has feathers and great vision. Endothermic. Contour feathers, lightweight, efficient respiration, muscled breasts for flight.
c.Mammalia
Has insulating body fat and hair to help with temperature; endotherms. Well developed circulatory system with 4 chambered heart. Has mammary glands.

25
Q

Protosomes vs. Deuterosomes

A
Protosomes
- Mollusca and Arthropoda
- Blastopore opening becomes mouth
- Spiral, determinate cleavage
Deuterosomes
- Echinodermata and Chordata
- Blastopore opening becomes anus
- Random, indeterminate cleavage
