What are the 5 classes of Echinodermata?
Asteroidea (Sea Star) Echinoidea (Sea Urchins, Sand Dollars) Crinoidea (Sea lilies, Feather stars) Holothuroidea (Sea Cucumbers) Ophiuroidea (Brittle Stars)
What are some main characteristics of Phylum Echinodermata?
- Spiny Skinned Animals
- deuterostomes
- tubefeet- used for locomotion & respiration
What Phylum do the Classes Asteroidea, Echinoidea, Crinoidea, Holothuroidea, and Ophiuroidea belong to?
Echinodermata
Animal associated with the class Asteroidea?
Seastar & starfish
Animal associated with the class Echinoidea?
Sea urchins & sand dollars
Animal associated with the class Crinoidea?
Sea lilies & feather stars
Animal associated with the class Holothuroidea?
sea cucumbers
Animal associated with the class Ophiuroidea?
brittle stars
What are some main characteristics of Phylum Chordata?
- called chordates
4 Characteristics
1) Notochord- flexible, rod like structure on dorsal side. made for support and becomes vertebral column.
2) Dorsal hollow nerve cord - between notochord & back surface. Becomes the brain and spinal cord.
3) Pharyngeal pouches/slits- openings for respiration (gas exchange)
4) Post anal tail - tail beyond the anus
Dorsal Hollow Nerve cord? Phylum?
between notochord & back surface. Becomes the brain and spinal cord. Phylum Chordata
Notochord? Phylum?
lexible, rod like structure on dorsal side. made for support and becomes vertebral column. Phylum Chordata
Pharyngeal pouches/slits? Phylum?
openings for respiration (gas exchange). Phylum Chordata
What are the subphylums of Phylum Chordata?
- Subphylum Cephalochordata (lancelets)
- Subphylum Vertebrata ( 7 classes)
Characteristics of subphylum Cephalochordata? Phylum it belongs to?
Phylum Chordata
- lancelets (little worm like thing)
- Invertebrates
- motile
- segmented bodies
- adults keep all 4 characteristics
Classes of Subphylum Vertebrata?
- Agnatha (jawless fish)
- Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish-sharks, skates, rays)
- Osteichthyes (bony fish, trout)
- Amphibia (amphibians, frogs, toads, salamanders, newts)
- Reptilia (reptiles, turtles, lizards, snakes, crocs, alligators)
Characteristics of class Agnatha?
- jawless fish
- no bony structure
- skeleton of cartilage
- no collagen in body
- smooth body
- no scales/fins
Characteristics of class Chondrichthyes?
- cartilaginous fish, sharks, skates, rays
- skeleton of cartilage
- 5-7 gill slits with no operculum (covering)
- rough skin with placoid scales
- lateral line
- no swim bladder, store oil in liver for buoyancy
- cloaca:opening for 3 systems (digestive, urinary, reproductive)
Characteristics of class Osteichthyes?
- Bony fish
- skeleton of bones
- operculum over gills
- swim bladder present
- lateral line
- oviparous development- fertilization outside of the body
- lobe finned: fins supported by muscles and bones
- ray finned: fins supported by thin pieces of bones (rays)
Characteristics of class Amphibia?
- amphibians, frogs, toads
- moist and smooth skin, no scales
- no tails, only in salamanders and tadpoles
- 3 chambered heart
- breathing (Gills by larvae, Lungs by adults)
- oviparous development
- cloaca
- ectothermic poikilothermic- cannot regulate body temp through metabolism*
Characteristics of class Reptilia?
- reptiles, turtles, snakes, lizards, crocs, alligators n shit
- thick dry skin
- scales
- all have tails
- 3 chambered heart (crocodile has 4)
- respiration by lungs
- cloaca
- oviparous & ovoviviparous(internal fertilization)
- amniotic egg - has tissue layers that protect egg (soft)
- ectothermic
Characteristics of class Aves?
- birds
- modified scales - feathers
- no teeth, beak
- light skeleton
- large breast muscles
- lungs for respiration, air sacs
- 4 chambered heart
- cloaca
- internal fertilization
- hard amniotic egg
- endothermic & homeothermic: can regulate body themp through metabolism
