• Food source– Carnivores eat clams
(starfish)– Filter feeders filter
plankton (sea cucumber)
• Marine environments– Ranging from shallow
waters to the deep sea

• Environment– Their skeletons contribute
to the limestone formation; helps with geographic information.
• Humans– Contribute to the overall
knowledge of animal fertilization.
– Fossils also used to decorate homes.

• Echinoderm means:– “spiny skin”
• Been around since the Cambrian period.• Regeneration
– Regrows an arm or body part– Asexual reproduction

• Internal skeletons– Made of Calcareous
plates known as ossicles.
– Plates are crystals of calcium carbonate fused together.
• How they get oxygen and release carbon– Through the water
vascular system– Bumps or spines on
surface take in oxygen some of them have gill structures.

• Gonochoristic- having separate sexes.
• Male and female discharge their eggs and sperm into water and that where the eggs are fertilized.
• Develops into larva• Settles in seabeds then
changes into a miniature adults (metamorphosis)

• Radial nerve cord– Each radii are
equipped with radial nerve cords.
– Connected by a nerve that runs along the gut ( Esophageal nerve ring).
– Controls muscles, receives info such as touch, chemicals, and light.

• The water vascular system and hemal system derived from coelom.
• (hemal-canal and spaces.)
• Fluid moved by muscular pumping.

• The waste is passes through the mouth in some echinoderms.
• Usually passes through the water vascular system.
• Diffuses across the body surfaces to the outside.

• Digestion occurs in the stomach and digestive ceca.
• Tube feet– Pick up sand and detritus then placed in
mouth.– Mouth on the bottom.

• Starfish• Brittle star• Sea cucumber• Sand dollar• Sea lillies

• Radial symmetry- can be divided in halves at central point.– Adults stage
• Bilateral symmetry- mirror like image.– Larva stage.

• Features – Contain sensory
neurons located at the tube feet.
• Function – Control of locomotion,
respiratory, and feeding

• Echinoidea “sea urchins”– Body plan: rigid endoskeleton with a covering
of outward-pointing spines.– Spines include poisonous pedicellaria used
against predators.– Echinoidea are herbivore or detritus feeders.

• Holothuroidea “sea cucumber”– 900 species worldwide.– Detritivores (eat decaying material) – Usually green and bilateral symmetry and the
skin is leathery.• Astroidea “starfish”
– 1700 living species.– Movement involves hundred of tube feet.– They feed by forcing their stomachs out of their
bodies to enter prey.

• Crinodea “feather star”– Found in warm tropical seas.– Attach to corals and other surfaces.– Mouth and anus are both on top– Movement involves flapping of the arms.
• Opsiuroidea “Brittle star”– Ophiuroid means “snake-like”.– Moves by using the arms in a rowing stroke.– They are detritus feeders.
