General Characteristics
• Adults exhibit pentamerous radial symmetry • Radially symmetry is secondary; larvae are bilaterally symmetrical and undergo metamorphosis to become radially symmetrical adults.
Echinoderm larva
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
General Characteristics cont.
•Poorly ganglionated; possess few sensory structures
• Body wall contains an endoskeleton of calcareous plates - ossicles
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
General Characteristics cont.• Possess a network of canals throughout the body - water vascular system.• The canals are connected to extensions called tube feet (=podia),located on the oral surface• The water vascular system is important for locomotion, feeding, and gas exchange.
• Sexes are separate; gametes shed into the water; fertilization is external
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
Starfish (Asteroidea)
• Carnivores – clams, mussels, bivalves
• Motile by way of tube feet
• endoskeleton made of calcareous plates (ie. Calcium carbonate)
• breathes through dermal “skin gills”

Tube Feet and Mouth
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
Star fish• The water vascular
system’s opening is called a madreporite. It opens into a radial canal. The radial canal then goes out to the arms in radial canals. The radial canals then feed water to the tube feet.

Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
Class Asteroidea
• Typically have 5 arms which merge with a central disc• Mouth is located in the center of oral surface which is directed downward
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
Water Vascular System• On the aboral surface is the opening of the water vascular system the madreporite (=sieve plate)• Water enters the madreporite and goes through the stone canal canal to the ring canal• Water then passes through a radial canal extending into each arm• All along the length of these canals are lateral canals that terminate in a bulb-like structures called ampullae equipped with tube feet• Tube feet line the grooves on the oral surface - ambulacral grooves
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
How the Podia Operate
• Ampulla contract and force fluid into the podia causing it to become extended• Suckers at the tips of the podia come into contact with the substrate and adhere to the surface• Then the podia contract, thereby forcing water back into the ampulla, and the body is pulled forward
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
Nutrition
• Mouth leads to a 2-part stomach: a large cardiac stomach and a smaller pyloric stomach• The pyloric stomach connects with digestive glands (=pyloric cecae) that runs into each arm
• A short intestine extends from from the pyloric stomach to an anus on the aboral surface• Associated with the intestine are rectal cecae that pump the fecal wastes out of the anus

Additional Characteristics
• The endoskelton is made up of calcareous plates that often penetrate the dermis as spines• Between the spines and plates are projections called papulae, which function in gas exchange and excretion• Other projections on the body wall include tiny jaw-like appendages called pedicellaria
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
Class Echinoidea
• Lack arms • Body is enclosed in a shell or test• Body surface is usually covered with moveable spines
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
Sea Urchins• Spherical body• Ambulacral plates bearing tube feet that radiate out toward the aboral surface• Use podia and spines during locomotion• The spines are moveable and articulate with the with the calcareous ossicles
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
• Sea urchins generally feed by scraping algae off of rocks• Accomplished via a complex chewing apparatus called Aristotle's lantern
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
Class Holothuroidea
• Lack arms• Oral-aboral axis is greatly extended• Endoskeleton is reduced to a few ossiclesscattered over the surface of the animal making them rather soft bodied• Some species crawl along the substrate using podia; others have peristaltic locomotion via muscle contractions
Dermal ossicles
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
• At the oral end of the body are a group of tentacles (modifiedpodia) that surround the mouth; used in feeding• Have a muscular cloaca that is partly used in gas exchange• The actual gas exchange structures are branching structures called respiratory trees
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
Class Crinoidea• Most primitive of the echinoderms• Unusual in that the oral surface is directed upward• Aboral surface is attached to the substrate by means of a bendable stalk• The portion of the crinoid body attached to the stalk is called the crown; bears a number of arms• Along the length of the arms are branches called pinnules• The arms and the pinnules have ambulacral grooves with suckerlesspodia (secrete mucus)• The ambulacral grooves are heavily ciliated and the cilia is used to direct food to the mouth (=filter feeding)
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
Reproduction• Reproduction – echinos are either Male or Female. Sperm
and eggs produced in the Testes or Ovaries. Symmetry of a starfish is Radial in adults, meaning if you cut it into a Chunks or many pieces, each slice is the same. Except, in the starfish larvae, they have Bilateral symmetry, just as in advanced critters like Mr. B – okay not that advanced ☺, but you know, they’re trying, okay…
• Asexual Repro – ask a Fisherman and s/he will tell you that tearing starfish into chunks is a great way to Increase their population. Each chunk will undergo regeneration and form new starfish. So, ripping them up is not a great way to reduce predation on Shellfish, which bring in a pretty-penny.

C. The Trochophore Larva
• 1. tufts of cilia at its ends• 2. ciliated band around the middle
– a. aquatic - ciliated band moves food toward mouth
– b. terrestrial - not free-swimming; remain within egg membrane
• 3. In mollusks - second larva - veliger– a. no segmentation
