  1. Echinoderms

  2. Echinoderms Goals of the lab: • to introduce general characteristics of the phylum Echinodermata • to understand the embryological differences between protostomes and deuterostomes • to observe initial stages of embryo development, using prepared slides of starfish embryos • to examine external and internal features of the starfish, as a representative of the phylum Echinodermata

  3. bilaterally symmetrical larvae; radially symmetrical adults • eucoelomate • deuterostome Phylum Echinodermata • eumetazoan (true tissues)

  4. Phylum Echinodermata Class Astroidae Class Ophiuroidae Class Echinoidae Class Holothuroidae Sea stars Brittle stars Sea urchins Sea cucumbers Class Crinoidae Crinoids

  5. Phylum Echinodermata No circulatory system No respiratory system Excretion (N elimination) by diffusion Simple nervous system, no brain Water-vascular system

  6. A Comparison of Early Development in Protostomes and Deuterostomes

  7. Early Embryonic Development

  8. Starfish Development Unfertilized egg 2 blastomeres 4 blastomeres After fertilization & 1st cleavage 2nd cleavage 6th cleavage, next slide 3rd cleavage 5th cleavage 4th cleavage 32 blastomeres 16 blastomeres 8 blastomeres

  9. Starfish Development (continued) 64 blastomeres Non-motile blastula Ciliated blastula * blastula is same size as unfertilized egg Next slide blastopore Gastrula: Archenteron, no mesenchyme Gastrula: During invagination Gastrula: Beginning invagination

  10. Starfish Development (continued) Gastrula: Archenteron with mesenchyme Early bipinnaria larva, lateral view Late gastrula: lateral view 2nd opening becomes mouth blastopore becomes anus Late bipinnaria larva, lateral view Young starfish Brachiolaria larva

  11. Sea cucumber & Crinoid: doliolaria larvae Sea urchin larvae: pluteus Starfish larvae: Bipinnaria Brittle star larvae: pluteus

  12. Phylum Echinodermata Water Vascular System Tube feet & associated plumbing Used for walking, clinging to substrate & holding food

  13. Starfish water vascular system
