Feeding and digestion






Filter feeding is common for small planktonic
crustaceans
Chitinous teeth for grinding and bristle for
shifting
Stomach; two-chambered in decapods,
connected to digestible glands
Digestion is essentially extracellular
Open circulatory system
Gills
22
Nervous system and behavior





A small, relatively simple brain
Sensory organs are well developed, most have
compound eyes
Keen sense of “smell”
A pair of statocyst
The most behaviorally complex invertebrates
23
Reproduction and Life history





Internal fertilization
Mating takes place immediately after the
female molts
In amphipods and isopods, eggs are brooded
in a chamber
In decapods and others, carry eggs in
pleopods

Feeding and Digestion
Digestive system is relatively simple
Most sea stars are carnivores; everting stomach,
intestine is short or missing, no anus
 Gut of sea urchins and sea cucumbers is long and
coiled
 Coelomic fluid, transport oxygen and nutrients; lack
distinct circulatory system

stars and sea urchin

respiratory trees
61
Nervous system and Behavior
Coordinates movements in the absence of
brain
62
Reproduction and Life history
Sex are separate and external fertilization
Bilateral ciliated larva, metamorphosis inot
radial symmetry
Asexual reproduction by separate central disk
or body into two pieces
Regeneration

Hemichorodates: a missing link?
-- echinoderms and
chordate share
several feature
related to
development
of embryos
