Q

Hemichordate body plan

A

Proboscis
Collar
Stalk
Protocoel (coelom of the proboscis)

17
Q

Axial complex in Echinoderms and Hemichordates

A

Junction of two coeloms and WVS in Echinoderms
Heart-kidney complex in Hemichordates
(homologous axial complexes used in circulation of fluid and excretory functions)

18
Q

Similar larval forms

A

ciliated
free-swimming
bilateral

19
Q

Uniting features of Echinoderms (6)

A
  1. Calcareous skeleton, of endoskeletal plates
    (skeletal ossicles)- stereom collectively
  2. Pedicellariae (pincers, dorsal side, base of spine)
  3. Dermal branchiae (Papulae) (thin folds between ossicles, gas exchange)
  4. Water Vascular System (tube-feet, podia)
  5. pentaradial symmetry in adults (linked to sessile lifestyle)
  6. Ambulacral grooves (discrete arms with ambulacra on oral surface)- radial canal and primary podia
20
Q

Parts of WVS (4)

A

Primarily for feeding; locomotion arose later
a- madreporite (connected to water)
b-polian vesicles- maintain internal pressure
c- radial canals (5)- extend ambulacral grooves (tube feet rows)
d- lateral canals to tube feet

21
Q

How do tube feet work

A

extended through hydrostatic pressure

retracted via longitudinal muscles

22
Q

Bilateral larvae development

A

left side- into adult (becomes oral plate)

right side- reabsorbed

23
Q

Types of adult body forms (2)

A
  1. Ambularcra on five arms, with clear pentaradial symmetry (Crinoids, asteroidea and Ophiuroidea)
  2. Ambulacra extend from oral-aboral pole, arms absent, variable degree of bilateral symmetry (Echinoidea, Holothuroidea)
24
Q

Echinoderm fossil record

A

Bilateral ancestor
Evolved radial symmetry for sessile lifestyle
stem groups- deuterostome features (ie. gill slits)

25
Q

Phylum Hemichordata

A

Pterobranchia/ Grapolithina
Enteropneusta (acorn worms)
all benthic worm-like, have stomochord and gill slits

26
Q

Hemichordate features

A
  • macroscopic
  • dorsal nerve chord
    stomochord (collar region)
    Tripartite body division
27
Q

Grapolithina

A

similar tubes to Pterobranchs
- sawblade shape of tube
extinct

28
Q

Hemichordates: shared chordate characters (4)

A

gill slits (leading to pharynx)
stomochord (not notochord)- rudimentary collar region
Dorsal nerve chord
Tripartite division of body (Probosics- protcoel, collar region- two coelomic caivites, Trunk- coelomic cavities derived from embryonic metacoel)

29
Q

Closely related to Chordates or Echinoderms?

A

considered more closely related to Echinoderms
