36
Q

what stomach is everted during feeding

A

cardiac stomach

37
Q

how would you describe the cardiac stomach

A

5-lobed, muscular stomach

38
Q

the gonads are located

A

on the floor of the body cavity in the proximal region of each arm

39
Q

What is the function of the madreporite?

A

water intake

40
Q

What is the function of the oscicles?

A

support and protection

41
Q

What is the function(s) of pyloric cacea?

A

production of digestive enzymes, food storage, absorption of nutrients

42
Q

gonads are ______ reproductive structures

A

paired

43
Q

what makes up the water vascular system

A

Stone canal
Ring canal
Radial canal
Lateral canals
Ampullae

44
Q

stone canal is located

A

extending orally down from the madreporite

45
Q

ring canal is located

A

embedded in the bony ossicles surrounding the mouth

46
Q

radial canal extends

A

down each arm from the ring canal

47
Q

lateral canal extend

A

from radial canals to connect with the tube feet.

48
Q

Ampullae can found

A

internally on the ambulacral ridge

49
Q

How are tube feet with suckers an adaptation for the sea star’s life style?

A

So the sea star can clutch onto surface

50
Q

How are the form and function of the dermal branchial system are advantages to the sea star?

A

It lets the sea star exchange gases under water.

51
Q

What is the function of pedicellariae? How are they an important adaptation to the sea star?

A

They brush off debris.
The sea star is slow at moving and doesn’t have hands to brush off debris
defense against predators

52
Q

how the flattened oral-aboral body plan and sensory discs on every arm may be advantageous?

A

It can sense temperate change and chemical change easier. It is also easier to sense predators.

53
Q

How does the structure of the digestive system reflect the feeding constraints imposed by the starfish’s external structure?

A

It can’t open its mouth to feed, so instead it sends out it’s stomach to digest.

54
Q

Why do you think some of the unique feeding habits of the starfish evolved?

A

It’s advantageous for the small animal to protrude it’s stomach, as it is very slow moving and hard to reach prey.
can’t completely digest outside of the body, it brings the liquified remains into the cardiac stomach.

55
Q

Why is the water vascular system important for the sea star?

A

In case it gets cut open somehow, it won’t lose “blood” since it can reabsorb the water and survive.

56
Q

What are some examples of selection pressures that may have lead to development of such a unique system of locomotion?

A

It doesn’t have hands to move or grab prey.

57
Q

What are the dermal bramchiae used for?

A

Exchange of gases, respiration, circulation

58
Q

What are the pedicellariae used for?

A

protection and cleaning

59
Q

What is the cardiac stomach used for?

A

envelope the prey and break them down

60
Q

What are the tube feet used for?

A

Retrieving food, locomotion, circulation, gas exchange
