Chapter 31 Section 1 Echinoderms Objectives Compare the developmental pattern found in protostomes with that found in deuterostomes. Describe the major characteristics of echinoderms. Summarize how the sea star’s water vascular system functions.

Chapter 31 Animal Development Section 1 Echinoderms Animal Development As an embryo develops, it goes through a gastrula stage. A gastrula has an opening to the outside called the blastopore. Animals with mouths that develop from or near the blastopore are called protostomes. In phylums Echinodermata and Chordata, the anus—not the mouth—develops from or near the blastopore. (The mouth forms later, on another part of the embryo.) Animals with this pattern of development are called deuterostomes.

Patterns of Embryonic Development Chapter 31 Section 1 Echinoderms Patterns of Embryonic Development

Animal Development, continued Chapter 31 Section 1 Echinoderms Animal Development, continued The first deuterostomes were marine echinoderms that evolved more than 650 million years ago. They were also the first animals to develop an endoskeleton. Like the echinoderms, chordates have an internal skeleton. This developmental similarity unites these seemingly dissimilar animal phyla. The identity of the ancestral deuterostome is not known.

Chapter 31 Modern Echinoderms Section 1 Echinoderms Modern Echinoderms Many of the most familiar animals seen along the seashore—sea stars, sea urchins, sand dollars—are echinoderms. Echinoderms have a calcium-rich endoskeleton composed of individual plates called ossicles. All echinoderms are bilaterally symmetrical as larvae. During their development into adults, the larvae’s body plan becomes radially symmetrical.

Modern Echinoderms, continued Chapter 31 Section 1 Echinoderms Modern Echinoderms, continued Echinoderms have a waterfilled system of interconnected canals and thousands of tiny hollow tube feet called a water-vascular system. The echinoderm body cavity functions as a simple circulatory and respiratory system. Skin gills are small, fingerlike projections that grow among the echinoderm’s spines. These projections create an increased surface area through which respiratory gases can be exchanged.

Chapter 31 Echinoderm Diversity Sea Stars Section 1 Echinoderms Echinoderm Diversity Sea Stars Almost all species of sea stars are carnivores, and they are among the most important predators in many marine ecosystems. The ossicles of many species of sea stars produce pincerlike structures called pedicellaria. Pedicellaria contain their own muscles and nerves, and they snap at anything that touches them. This action prevents small organisms from attaching themselves to the surface of the sea star.

Echinoderm Diversity, continued Chapter 31 Section 1 Echinoderms Echinoderm Diversity, continued Brittle Stars The sea star’s relatives, the brittle stars and sea baskets, make up the largest class of echinoderms. Brittle stars have slender branched arms that they move in pairs to row along the ocean floor. Although a few species are predators, most brittle stars are filter feeders or feed on food in the ocean sediment.

Echinoderm Diversity, continued Chapter 31 Section 1 Echinoderms Echinoderm Diversity, continued Sea Lilies and Feather Stars The sea lilies and feather stars are the most ancient and primitive living echinoderms. They differ from all other living echinoderms because their mouth is located on their upper, rather than lower, surface. Sea lilies are sessile and are attached to the ocean floor by a stalk. Feather stars use hooklike projections to attach themselves directly to the ocean bottom or a coral reef.

Echinoderm Diversity, continued Chapter 31 Section 1 Echinoderms Echinoderm Diversity, continued Sea Urchins and Sand Dollars The sea urchins and sand dollars lack distinct arms but have the basic five-part body plan seen in other echinoderms. Both sea urchins and sand dollars have a hard, somewhat flattened endoskeleton of fused plates covered with spines protruding from it. Sea urchins are found on the ocean bottoms while sand dollars live in sandy areas along the sea coast.

Echinoderm Diversity, continued Chapter 31 Section 1 Echinoderms Echinoderm Diversity, continued Sea Cucumbers Sea cucumbers are soft-bodied, sluglike animals without arms. They differ from other echinoderms in that their ossicles are small and are not fused together. The sexes of most sea cucumbers are separate, but some species are hermaphrodites. Sea cucumbers feed by trapping tiny organisms present in the sea water. Their mouth is surrounded by several dozen tube feet modified into tentacles.

Echinoderm Diversity, continued Chapter 31 Section 1 Echinoderms Echinoderm Diversity, continued Sea Daisies In 1986, a new class of echinoderm was discovered: strange diskshaped little animals called sea daisies. Sea daisies have five-part radial symmetry but no arms. Their tube feet are located around the edges of the disk rather than along the radial lines, like they are in other echinoderms.

Chapter 31 Objectives Describe the characteristics of chordates. Section 2 Invertebrate Chordates Objectives Describe the characteristics of chordates. Define the term invertebrate chordate. Compare tunicates and lancelets.

Chapter 31 The Chordate Skeleton Section 2 Invertebrate Chordates The Chordate Skeleton The second major group of deuterostomes are the chordates. Chordates have a very different kind of endoskeleton from that of echinoderms. During the development of the chordate embryo, a stiff rod called the notochord develops along the back of the embryo. Using muscles attached to this rod, early chordates could swing their backs from side to side, enabling them to swim through the water.

The Chordate Skeleton, continued Chapter 31 Section 2 Invertebrate Chordates The Chordate Skeleton, continued Other Chordate Characteristics Chordates have a single, hollow, dorsal nerve cord with nerves attached to it that travel to different parts of the body. Chordates also have a series of pharyngeal pouches that develop in the wall of the pharynx, the muscular tube that connects the mouth to the digestive tract and windpipe. Another chordate characteristic is a postanal tail, which is a tail that extends beyond the anus.

Invertebrate Chordates Chapter 31 Section 2 Invertebrate Chordates Invertebrate Chordates The vast majority of chordate species belong to subphylum Vertebrata. Two other subphyla, Urochordata (the tunicates) and Cephalochordata (the lancelets), contain a small number of species. Because members of these two subphyla are chordates that do not have backbones, they are called invertebrate chordates.

Invertebrate Chordates, continued Chapter 31 Section 2 Invertebrate Chordates Invertebrate Chordates, continued Tunicates Most adult tunicates are sessile, filter-feeding marine animals. A tough sac, called a tunic, develops around the adult’s body and gives tunicates their name. Cilia beating within the tunicate cause water to enter the incurrent siphon. As water passes through the slits in the pharynx, food is filtered from it and passed into the stomach. All tunicates are hermaphrodites, and some are also able to reproduce asexually by budding.

Invertebrate Chordates, continued Chapter 31 Section 2 Invertebrate Chordates Invertebrate Chordates, continued Lancelets Lancelets receive their name from their bladelike shape. Although lancelets may resemble fish, they are not fish. The lancelets V-shaped bundles of muscles are arranged in a series of repeating segments. Lancelets feed on microscopic protists that they filter out of the water. Unlike tunicates, the sexes are separate in lancelets.
