INTRODUCTION
• Jacob klein (1734) coined this term by observing sea urchin
• For long term these were in “Radiata” along with Coelenterata
• Leuckert (1874) separated these from Radiata as they are more
evolved
• Spiny skinned marine animals
• Have economic values like fertilizer(CaCo3), food, As
Scavengers and also can cause great loss to oyster beds.+
GENERAL CHARACTERS
•Exclusively marine, intertidal zone
•All are free living and lives in groups, some creep like
star fishes, some attach to rocks like sea lillies
•Triploblastic true, enterocoelomic, dueterostomes
•Echinoderms are radially symmetrical and adults show
pentamerous symmetry while larvae are bilaterally
symmetrical
•Different shapes, some flat(Star fishes), globular (Sea
urchins) or elongated(Sea cucumbers)
GENERAL CHARACTERS
• Animals have oral (Mouth side) and aboral (Opposite side) surfaces.
• Body surface is marked by symmetrically radiating grooves or areas known as
ambulacral areas and five inter radii/ Inter – ambulacral areas
• Body surface is generally covered by calcareous ossicles and spines hence
the name
• Endoskeleton is mesodermal, hard and calcareous in the form of shell/ test/
ossicles
• Perivisceral coelom(Enterocoelic)- lined by perital and visceral peritoneum
• Presence of water vascular system/ ambulacral system- developed from larval
coelom and consistes of tube feet,lateral canals, radial canals, ring canal,
stone canal and a madreporite(sieve plate)on aboral surface
GENERAL CHARACTERS
• Feeds on small animals, plants and organic debris
• Digestive system- coiled tube, anus in aboral surface or absent in
some
• Locomotion is by tube feet which are also help in nutrition and
respiration
• Respiration- papulae/ detrmal branchiae(star fish), peristomial
gills(sea urchins), genital bursae(brittle stars) and respiratory
trees(holothurians)
• Haemal system-open type, not well developed , heart is absent,
blood vessels don’t have definite walls and are enclosed in coelomic
canals
• Definete excretory organs are absent. Nitrogenous wastes are
ammonia, urea, and creatine. Sent out by diffusion through tube feet
and papulae
GENERAL CHARACTERS
• Nervous sytem is poorly developed. Brain is absent, a circum
oral ring and radial nerves are present
• Sense organs are poorly developed and are represented by
tentacles, eyes and statocysts
• Sexes are separate, sexual reproduction, sexual dimorphism is
absent. Gonads are large and simple. Gonoducts may/ may not
present. Fertilisation is external in sea water.
• Development is indirect with a free swimming larval stage.
• Few echinoderms are viviparous like Asterina gibbosa,
Chiriodata contorta
• Exhibits high power of regeneration, Aututomy is seen
