Phylum Bryozoa “moss animals”
1st phyla we will talk about and what we will cover in the lab today is…
2
Bryozoa Characteristics
Triploblastic Organ level of organization Bilateral Symmetry Eucoelomate Protostome
3
Bryozoa Characteristics
Gas Exchange no organs, simple diffusion Circulatory System no organs, coelomic fluid Excretion no organs, simple diffusion Nervous system nerve ring surrounding pharynx and nerves in tentacles (no sensory organs)
4
Bryozoa Characteristics
Skeletal system most have a cuticle composed of chitin or calcium carbonate (zoecium) zoecium
5
Bryozoa Characteristics
Digestive System lophophore: a contractile ring of ciliated tentacles surrounding the mouth complete digestive system U-shaped with anus outside lophophore (ectoproct) lophophore mouth anus
6
Bryozoa Characteristics
Reproduction most are monoecious most species brood their eggs externally or within special cavities in their bodies freshwater species are capable of asexual reproduction using statoblasts (similar to gemmules) statoblasts
7
Bryozoa Characteristics
Colonial bryozoans are sessile and live in colonies (zoarium) colonies can be encrusting (thin sheets) or stoloniferous (plant-like) encrusting bryozoan stoloniferous bryozoan
8
Bryozoa Characteristics
Colonial all zooids within a colony are connected by pores in each individuals cuticle some Bryozoans are polymorphic and contain defensive zooids called avicularia pores Used in defense and anti-fouling
9
Phylum Echinodermata “spiny skinned” animals
1st phyla we will talk about and what we will cover in the lab today is…
10
Echinodermata Characteristics
Triploblastic Organ level of organization Pentamerous Radial Symmetry No head, no brain Eucoelomate Deuterostome
11
Protostome vs Deuterostome
blastopore becomes the anus radial / indeterminate cleavage regulative development enterocoely (Echinodermata, Chordata blastopore becomes the mouth spiral / determinate cleavage mosaic development schizocoely (Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Bryozoa*)
12
Protostome Mouth Formation
Blastopore becomes the mouth and the anus forms secondarily Future anus blastopore archenteron (primitive gut) mouth
13
Deuterostome Mouth Formation
Blastopore becomes the anus and the mouth forms secondarily Future mouth blastopore archenteron (primitive gut) anus
14
Protostome: Spiral Cleavage
2 cells 4 cells 8 cells Blastomeres divide at an oblique angle to one another, so that each lies in the furrow created by the cells beneath them
15
Deuterostome: Radial Cleavage
2 cells 4 cells 8 cells Blastomeres divide in a symmetrical fashion, producing layers of cells directly on top of one another
16
Protostome: Mosaic Development
One blastomere is removed Development is arrested (or is defective) 4-cell stage
17
Deuterostome: Regulative Development
One blastomere is removed Development continues Development continues 4-cell stage each blastomere is capable of regulating its development even when separated from the others
18
Protostome: Schizocoely
blastocoel mesodermal cells developing coelom split in mesoderm ectoderm endoderm mesoderm
19
Deuterostome: Enterocoely
blastocoel early mesodermal pouch separation of pouches from gut developing coelom ectoderm endoderm mesoderm
20
Echinodermata Characteristics
Water Vascular System A system of coelomic canals that functions in: circulation, gas exchange, excretion, and locomotion. stone canal madreporite ring canal radial canal tube feet
21
Echinodermata Characteristics
Water Vascular System ampulla podium The structure of the tube foot
22
Echinodermata Characteristics
Dermal Endoskeleton All echinoderms have a dermal endoskeleton that is composed of calcareous ossicles and is covered by epidermis. The endoskeleton allows continuous growth and provides protection. Fused to form a test (e.g. sea urchins) Articulating plates (e.g. starfish)
23
Echinodermata Characteristics
Dermal Endoskeleton In many echinoderms the skeleton bears spines or bumps that are used for defense. Sea urchin Spines on crown of thorns starfish
24
Echinodermata Characteristics
Dermal Endoskeleton The epidermis covering the endoskeleton contains many specialized structures: Dermal branchiae (respiration) Pedicellaria (anti-fouling)
25
Echinodermata Characteristics
Reproduction usually dioecious usually external fertilization (eggs and sperm are shed into the water where fertilization occurs) indirect development with the presence of a free-swimming, bilateral larval stage (some have direct development) spawning sea urchins bilateral larval stage
26
Echinodermata Characteristics
Reproduction this bilaterally symmetrical larval form undergoes metamorphosis into an adult with radial pentamerous symmetry (with 5 or more radiating areas) bilateral larval stage radial pentamerous adult
27
Phylum Echinodermata Class Asteroidea Class Echinoidea
Class Ophiuroidea Class Holothuroidea Class Crinoidea
28
Echinoderm Radiation aboral region Asteroidea anus oral region
arms anus oral region ambulacral region 1st phyla we will talk about and what we will cover in the lab today is… Echinodea fused ossicles Ophiuroidea no ambulacral region no anus Holothuroidea secondarily bilateral Crinoidea on a stalk feathery arms
29
Class Asteroidea the “sea stars”
30
Class Asteroidea star shaped with variable number of arms
ambulacral grooves open with tube feet on oral side anus and madreporite on aboral side tube feet usually have suckers pedicellaria present
31
Class Asteroidea aboral oral
32
Class Echinoidea the“sea urchins”, “sand dollars”, “heart urchins”, “sea biscuits”…
33
Class Echinoidea globular or disc- shaped with no arms
ossicle plates are fused to form a compact skeleton called a “test” ambulacral grooves closed movable spines with interspersed tube feet tube feet usually have suckers anus and madreporite aboral pedicellaria present Aristotle’s lantern
34
where the spines attach
Class Echinoidea aboral aboral where the spines attach ambulacral region
35
Class Echinoidea Aristotle’s lantern - complex chewing mechanism
oral Inside the animal oral aboral oral Aristotle’s lantern - complex chewing mechanism - 5 teeth are attached
36
Class Ophiuroidea “brittle stars” and “basket stars”
37
Class Ophiuroidea star shaped with arms around an obvious central disc
ambulacral grooves closed and covered by ossicles (no tube feet within them) tube feet without suckers and are not used for locomotion incomplete digestive system no anus pedicellaria absent
38
Class Ophiuroidea oral aboral Central disc
39
Class Ophiuroidea day Although they don’t have any eyes, some brittle stars have photosensitive “lenses” all over their body. They can detect light/dark such as shadows and change color. night
40
Class Holothuroidea the “sea cucumbers”
41
Class Holothuroidea cucumber-shaped with no arms secondarily bilateral
ambulacral grooves closed microscopic ossicles are embedded in muscular body soft body tube feet with suckers and some are modified around the mouth as feeding tentacles pedicellaria absent respiratory tree for gas exchange
42
Class Holothuroidea ambulacral region with tube feet anus mouth
oral aboral anus mouth feeding tentacles (modified tube feet)
43
Class Holothuroidea Many cucumbers have a “pearlfish” living inside them. This skinny fish enters and leaves its host through the anus at night to feed. It is unknown whether the pearlfish is a parasite that feeds on the internal organs of the sea cucumber or whether it leaves the sea cucumber unharmed.
44
Class Crinoidea the “sea lilies” and “feather stars”
45
Class Crinoidea flower-shaped arms bearing pinnules stalked
ciliated ambulacral grooves on oral surface with tentacle-like tube feet for food gathering body disc and stalk contain ossicles madreporite, spines, and pedicellaria absent
46
Class Crinoidea oral arm pinnules stalk aboral
47
Regeneration Most Echinoderms are capable of regenerating parts of their bodies when they are lost. Regenerating arm
48
Regeneration Some sea stars and brittle stars use regeneration as a way to reproduce asexually. “comet” sea star brittle star
49
Regeneration Most sea cucumbers are able to expel their intestine out of their anus, and regenerate the lost structures. This is done in defense and during times of the year when food supply is low.
50
Indeterminate Growth Many Echinoderms can grow or shrink depending on resource availability. Many do not seem to senesce, so unless they are killed by a disease or predator, it is unknown how long they can live…
51
How do Bryozoa and Echinodermata fit in?
Echinoidea Ophiuroidea Crinoidea Asteroidea Holothuroidea Bryozoa Mollusca Nematoda Rotifera Arthropoda Annelida Platyhelminthes Nemertea Cnidaria Porifera unknown common ancestor
