1
Q

What make up the deuterostomes?

A

Echinodermata and Chordata

2
Q

Echinoderms occur exclusively in

A

marine habitats

3
Q

What is the endoskeleton of echinoderms comprised of?

A

small calcareous plates called ossicles

4
Q

Do sea cucumbers have few or many ossicles?

A

few

5
Q

What does echinodermata mean?

A

spiny skin

6
Q

What are echinoderms characterized by?

A

water vascular system

7
Q

Water vascular system

A

composed of internal canals and forms tube feet

8
Q

What are used for locomotion in echinoderms?

A

tube feet

9
Q

Brittle stars class

A

Ophiuroidea

10
Q

Sea cucumber class

A

Holothuroidea

11
Q

Sea urchin class

A

Echinoidea

12
Q

Heart urchin class

A

Echinoidea

13
Q

Sand dollar class

A

Echinoidea

14
Q

Starfish class

A

Asteroidea

15
Q

Sea stars class

A

Asteroidea

16
Q

What is the mode of action of the water vascular system in echinodermata?

A

1.) Water enters through the madreporite

Madreporite => Stone canal => Radial Canal (one on each ray) => Ampullae => Tube Feet => Locomotion

17
Q

How do the ampullae and tube feet act to affect locomotion in echinodermata?

A

The ampullae contracts, sending water into the tube feet which stretch as water is brought into them. Thus, allowing for a slow form of locomotion.

18
Q

How do the tube feet aid in food acquisition in echinodermata?

A

They use their tube feet to grab onto prey, such as the shells of bivalves, then pry them open. They then digest their food externally by expelling their stomachs out of their mouth.

19
Q

How do the tube feet aid in food acquisition in adhering to solid objects?

A

same as suckers

20
Q

chordates united by presence of

A

pharyngeal gill slits, notochord, dorsal hollow nerve cord, post anal tail

21
Q

tunicates and sea squirts phylum and subphylum

A

chordata

urochordata

22
Q

fish like Amphioxis (Branchiostoma) phylum and subphylum

A

chordata

Cephalochordata

23

24
Q

fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals phylum and subphylum

A

chordata

vertebrata

25
Q

what are the most diverse group of all the deuterostomes?

A

vertebrates

26
Q

lacked jaws and paired appendages

A

class agnatha

27
Q

had jaws and two pairs of appendages and evolved soon

A

class chondrichthyes and osteichthyes

28
Q

important themes in vertebrate evolution

A
