  1. Phylum Echinodermata http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/E/echinoderms.gif

  2. Phylum Characteristics: • Name: (Greek) echinos= spiny; derma =skin • Calcareous endoskeleton in the form of ossicles • Most adults with pentaradial symmetry • Larva with bilateral symmetry • Water-vascular system (including tube feet) for locomotion, attachment, and/or feeding • Digestive tract • Hemal system (to circulate fluids and possibly distribute nutrients) • Nervous system (= nerve net, nerve ring, and radial nerves)

  3. Class Crinoidea • Sea Lilies and feather stars • Most primitive of all living echinoderms • Sea Lilies attach to substrate by a stalk • Unattached end = crown (of 5 branched arms) • Double row of tube feet along each arm • Crown attached to stalk at calyx • Stalk may have cirri (projections) *feather stars lack a stalk and are swim/crawl using their arms

  4.

  6. Suspension/Filter feeding: Tube feet catch prey and cilia in ambulacral groove carry it to mouth • Lack nerve ring • Can be dioecious or monoecious (male gametes develop before female gametes) • Fertilization may be external or embryos may be brooded on arms of adult • Capable of regeneration

  7. Class Asteroidea • Sea Stars (and Sea Daises?) • 5 arms around a central disk, each with an ambulacral groove and tube feet • Some arms may have photoreceptors/ocelli on tube feet at tips • Dermal Branchiae (thin folds of body) function in gas exchange • Some have pedicellariae (pincherlike structures) which may help clean & protect

  8. Feed on snails, bivalves, crustaceans, polychaetes, corals, detritus, etc. https://yhsbiology.wikispaces.com/file/view/starfish-1.jpg/33144125/starfish-1.jpg • 2 sides: oral/aboral • Aboral side contains anus and madreporite (connects ring canal to outside -helps to replace water into water-vascular system) • Oral side has mouth connected to esophagus, stomach (with 2 regions), and short intestine

  11. Known for regeneration (asexual reproduction) • Most Dioecious(internal difference) • 2 gonads in each arm • External fertilization http://sharonminsuk.com/LabBio/images/StarfishStagesBig.jpg http://allencentre.wikispaces.com/file/view/starfish_larva.jpg/31302621/starfish_larva.jpg
