5 classes of echinodermata
-Asteroidea
-Ophiuroidea
-Echinodea
-Holothuridea
external features of Asteroidea
-central disc with 5 arms extending
-mouth is on the underside
-oral and aboral surface
-ambulacrum runs from the mouth to the tip of each arm
-ambulacral groove bordered by rows of tube feet
-radil nerve located in center of each ambulacral groove
-under the nerve is an extension of the coelom and the radial canal of the water vascular system
where does the water vascular system open to the outside
madreporite
where does madreporite lead to
stone canal
