Lecture Exam 4 Flashcards
common names of echinoderms
sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucombers, brittle stars
what phylum are vertebrates a part of
Chordata
are echinoderms and chordates deuterostomes or protostomes
deuterostomes
where do echinoderms live
marine
first characteristic of echinoderms
3 part (tripartite) coelom
what kind of coelom do echinoderms have
tripartite
second characteristic of echinoderms
unique water vascular system
water vascular system
a network of canals branching into tube feet that function in locomotion and feeding
third characteristic of echinoderms
all members have a calcareous endoskeleton
what kind of skeleton do echinoderms have
calcareous endoskeleton
fourth characteristic of echinoderms
spiny endoskeleton
characteristics of echinoderm endoskeleton
consists of plates or ossicles covered by the epidermis
fifth characteristic of echinoderms
possess pedicellariae and dermal branchia
sixth characteristic of echinoderms
bilateral larva, undergo metamorphosis into radial symmetry in adults
seventh characteristic of echinoderms
nervous system with no brain or sensory organs
eighth characteristic of echinoderms
triploblastic
ninth characteristic of echinoderms
complete digestive system
tenth characteristic of echinoderms
regenerate lost parts
eleventh characteristic of echinoderms
excretory organs absen
twelfth characteristic of echinoderms
separte sexes, external fertilization, larval stage with metamorphosis
5 classes of echinodermata
-Asteroidea
-Ophiuroidea
-Echinodea
-Holothuridea
external features of Asteroidea
-central disc with 5 arms extending
-mouth is on the underside
-oral and aboral surface
-ambulacrum runs from the mouth to the tip of each arm
-ambulacral groove bordered by rows of tube feet
-radil nerve located in center of each ambulacral groove
-under the nerve is an extension of the coelom and the radial canal of the water vascular system
where does the water vascular system open to the outside
madreporite
where does madreporite lead to
stone canal
where does stone canal lead to
ring canal
where does ring canal lead to
radial canals
what is the inner end of each tube foot called
ampulla
-within coelom
ampulla purpose
contract fo`rcing fluid into and extending the podium
Asteroidea nervous system
-oral system of a nerve ring and radial nerves coordinate the tube feet
-sense organs include an eyespot at the tip of each arm
Asteroidea reproduction, regeneration, and autonomy
-dioecious
-external fertilizatio
-regenerate lost parts
-larval stage
regenerate lost parts
-cast off injured arms and regenerate new ones
-arm can regenerate a new sea star is 1/5 of central disc is present
larval stage of Asteroidea
-free-swimming larva
-bilateral bipinnaria
-larvs grows 3 adhesive arms and a sucker at the anterior (brachiolaria)
metamorphosis of Asteroidea
-brachiolaria attaches to substrate and undergoes metamorphosis into a radial juvenile
-arms and tube feet appear, animal detaches from stalk and becomes a young sea star
characteristics of class Ophiuroidea
-5 movable plates act as jaws and surround mouth
-no anus
-visceral organs are in the central disc (arms too slender to accommodate them)
-stomach sac-like
-no intestine
Class Echinoidea characteristics
-sea urchins and sand dollars
-sea urchins lack arms but their tests show 5 part symmetry
Class Holothuroidea characteristics
-no spines, reduced endoskeleton, body wall leathery
-cephalization absent
-secondary bilaterality present
-5 rows of tube feet
-oral tentacles are 10-30 tube feet surrounding the mouth
-eject their stomachs for defense
do sea cucumbers have cephalization
no
main charactristics of phylum Chordata
-dorsal, tubular nerve cord
-notochord
-pharyngeal slits
-endostyle
-post anal tail
