Q

If a cell was taken from a 4-cell zygote of a protostome and deuterostome, what would each form?

Q

What is the difference between schizocoely and enterocoely development of the coelom?

A

Schizocoely - solid mass of mesoderm splits, and the cavity forms the coelom.
Enterocoely - coelom buds off the main cavity, to form the coelom.

Q

How do amulla contract, and what effect does this have?

A

Muscle fibres lie within the podia and ampulla walls, and are antagonists.
To extend podia, ampulla contracts, and podia relaxes.
Vice versa to retract podia.

29
Q

Does mutable connective tissue become rigid or flexible when being lost to a predator?

A

Softens, and depolymerisation occurs.

30
Q

Are echinoderms mono- or dioecious?

A

Most are dioecious, but some are hermaphrodites.

31
Q

Where does fertilisation occur for echinoderms?

A

External.

32
Q

What is the egg of an echinoderm called, and what is it like?

A

Homolecithal egg, with the yolk uniformly distributed.

33
Q

Is the blastula of a homolecithal egg of echinoderms ciliated? What is the blastocoele like?

A

Blastula is ciliated, contains a large blastocoele.

34
Q

What happens before invagination into a blastocoele in echinoderm eggs?

A

Cells from a vegetal pole divide before invagination.

35
Q

What are the modes of development for an echinoderm (3)?

A
-Planktonic
Feed on plankton
-Lecitotrophic
Do not feed, utilise yolk
-Brooded
Premetamorphic develop in an invagination in mother's abdominal wall.
36
Q

What is the most common echinoderm developmental mode?

A

50% are lecitotrophic.

37
Q

How long do the modes of development last typically?

A

Brooding and planktonic last several months while lecitotropihc is several days.

38
Q

What kind of symmetry do echinoderm larva have?

A

Bilateral.

39
Q

Are echinoderm larva ciliated?

A

Yes, ciliated band surrounds the mouth.

40
Q

What feature do each of the echinoderm class larva have?

A
  • Echinoid and ophiuroid - long slender projections with a skeletal rod.
  • Asteroid and holothuroid - short arms.
  • Crinoid - no projections, lecitoprophic.
41
Q

What do larva metamorphose into? Where does this form develop structures?

A

Radial juvenile.They develop structures mainly from the left side.

42
Q

How do radial juveniles anchor to substrata?

A

Primary podia of juveniles protrude from the left side, test the substratum with cehmoreceptors, dettach from a stalk, and begin a seperate life.

43
Q

What is the most ancient and primitive echinoderm class?

A

Crinoidia.

44
Q

Are crinoidia sedentary?

A

They can be stalked or free living.

Q

What is the aboral side of crinoids? How do they stand?

A

Calyx. Stands on a stalk, connected to a calyx, and on cirri in comatulids.

47
Q

Can crinoids move?

A

No, but can flex and extend., Some can crawl of cirri.

48
Q

How do crinoids feed?

A

Suspension feeding, filtration fan formed by pinnules. Podia and pinnules bear mucus secreting papillae.

Do asteroidea have ambulacral grooves?

A

Yes.

57
Q

What can be found on the ambulacral grooves of asteroidea?

A

2-4 rows of podia.

58
Q

What is the sensory podia?

A

Found in asteroidea, is the podia found at the tip of the arm.

59
Q

Do asteroidea have pigment spots?

A

Yes.

60
Q

What is a pedicellariae in asteroidea, and what is its purpose??

A

Jaw-like appendages, a stalk surmounted by ossicles arranged to form a forceps/scissors, used to catch prey/defence.

61
Q

What are papulae of asteroidea?

A

Evaginations of epithelia and mesothelia, increasing respiratory surface area.

62
Q

Is the water vascular system of asteroidea involved in locomotion?

A

Yes, walks on podia, attaches to substrata.

63
Q

How do asteroidea podia attach to substrata?

A

Mostly chemical, some use physical.

64
Q

Do all asteroidea have podia with suckers?

A

No, some species lack them.

65
Q

The asteroidea stomach is divided in two, pyloric and cardiac. What does the pyloric chamber lead to?

A

2 pyloric caeca, digestive glands in each arm.

66
Q

What does the short intestine of asteroidea lead to?

A

Opens to 2 intestinal/rectal caeca.

67
Q

How do asteroidea digest food?

A

Move food through gut by beating cilia, not peristalsis.

68
Q

How do asteroidea eat?

A

Swallow prey whole, expell indigestibles.

Some evert their stomach, and digest extracellularly.

69
Q

How do some asteroidea evert their stomach?

A

Contract body ball, pressurising the coelomic fluid, forcing stomach out.
