Presentation Transcript

  1. Phylum Echinodermata:Sand Dollars, Starfish, Sea Urchins MacKenzie Meggers

  2. Key Characteristics • Endoskeleton • Five-part radial symmetry • Water-vascular system • Coelomic circulation and respiration • Protostomes (first opening is mouth)

  3. Anatomy • Sieve (water enters) • Ring Canal • Tube feet • Anus • Stomach • Digestive Glands • Skin Gills • Reproductive Glands

  4. Digestion • Two stomachs • Digestive glands in each arm • Enzymes absorb nutrients • External Port- upper body

  5. Respiration • Skin Gills • Respiratory Gases • Tube feet • Oxygen from water is distributed through the body

  6. Internal Transport • Simple Circulatory system • Water vascular system

  7. Excretion • No distinct organs • Released through tube feet • Phagocytic cells & coelomocytes remove waste

  8. Response • Nervous system • Brain • Central nerve ring • Sensitive to touch, light, temperature, water conditions

  9. Movement • Water-Vascular System • Tube Feet • Crawl across the sea floor

  10. Reproduction • Separate sexes • External fertilization • Larvae settle on ocean floor • Gonads release gametes • Asexually or sexually

  11. Examples • 1. Sea Urchins 2. Sea Cucumber 3. Sand Dollars

  12. Facts • 7,000 living species, 13,000 extinct species • Largest phylum w/o freshwater • Found in all oceans • Mostly a marine group • Can live up to 10 years
