8
Phylum Echinodermata “Spiny skin” Radial symmetry – 5 parts or multiples of 5 Water vascular system – hydraulic pressure system for movement
9
Water Vascular System
10
WVS Operation Water enters through madreporite Through tube system to ampullae of feet Muscle contracts - water ejected onto foot – suction Muscle relaxes – water back into ampullae – no suction
11
Skeletons Plates under skin (some fused) or spicules (endoskeleton) Ca(CO 3 ) – like mollusks Projections
12
Sea Stars Flexible – plates of skeleton with muscles Ambulacral groove with tube feet Mouth and anus Eyespots sense light
13
Sea Star Feeding Diet – mollusks, coral Opens shells with tube feet Extrudes stomach Liquefies mollusk
15
Brittle Stars Distinct central disk Tube feet have no suction – send food to mouth Arms for locomotion Mouths with teeth No anus
16
Regeneration Need 1/5 of central disk and 1 arm to regenerate
17
Sea Urchins Test Mouth and anus Ball and socket spines Spines and tube feet for movement
18
Sea Urchins Algae-eaters and scavengers Mouth with teeth (Aristotle’s Lantern)
19
Sand Dollars Flat sea urchins Short spines
20
Sea Cucumber Elongated body Small skeletal fragments Modified tube feet for tentacles on oral end
