Phylum Echinodermata- Means spiny skin.- Appeared during the mid-cambrian (approx 530 mya).- 7,000 species.- All marine.These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- Developmental change in symmetry. Bilateral symmetry as juveniles. Radial symmetry as adults.II. Class AsteroideaThe Water Vascular System Water enters and exits system via a pore called the madreporiteon the dorsal side. Connects to a complex canal system throughout the sea star. The Pedicellariae Ampulla Tiny ‘pincer-like’pedicellariae. At the base of spineon the dorsal surface. Provide protection and keep body surface free of debris.Tube-footThe Tube Feet On the ventral side. Project from grooves bordered by moveable spines. Used in locomotion. Each tube-foot is connected to internal muscular sac; ampulla. Movement is accomplished by: Ampulla contracting and forcing water into the tube foot, causing it to expand. Contraction of longitudinal muscles causes the tube foot to contract. Tube feet can also create suction and an adhesive mucous that allows echinoderms to adhere to surfaces.The Endoskeleton Is made of small calcium carbonate plates beneath the epidermis.Regenerative Properties Sea stars and brittle stars have the ability to regenerate injured or lost arms. If a broken arm has at least part of central disc still intact, an entire new starfish can be regenerated!Feeding & Digestion Most are carnivorous feeding on molluscs, crustaceans, small fish. Sea star digestion: Mouth => 2-part stomach in central disc => intestines => anus Mouth on the ventral side; anus and madreporite on dorsal side.Reproduction Dioecious with external fertilization. Both sexes release gametes into the water. Larva havebilateral symmetry.Complete Metamorphosis: developmental transformation Transformation from bilateral larval form to radial adult form. Larva attaches to substrate via a stalk. Larval mouth & anus disappear and develops new adult parts. Complete internal reorganization.III. Class Ophiuroidea; Brittle Stars- Arms used in locomotion.- Lack pedicellariae.- Madreporite near mouth (ventral side), which has five moveable plates.IV. Class Echinoidea: Sea Urchins & Sand Dollars - Endodermal plates expanded into an internal shell-like skeleton.- Spines are elongated for locomotion; also use tube-feet.Sea Urchin Digestion: - Mouth =>esophagus => Stomach =>intestines => anusSea Urchin Anatomy: Anus MadreporiteStomach-IntestineGonad MouthV. Class Crinoidea: Sea Lilies & Feather Stars- Mostlydeep water marine forms.- Many are sedentary.- Arms are flexible with 'feathery' branches that collect food.- Filter feeders.- Transport food down to the mouth, at the center.- Lack spines and pedicellariae.VI. Class Holothuroidea: (sea cucumbers) Endoskeletal plates extremely reduced, animals are soft-bodied. Tube-feet are well-developed; crawl along substrate. Tentacles surround mouth, involved in feeding; mostly scavengers. Respiratory tree: Tubes with many branches, is a specialized respiratory structure. Sometimes occupied with commensal symbiotic organisms, like polychaetes.Responses to predators: Auto-evisceration: when threatened or stressed, can expel all organs to distract predators, and regenerate them later. Some species expel Cuvierian tubules: sticky tentacles to entangle
