  1. What is the type of
    digestive system of
    echinoderms?


Echinoderms pdigestive system, with mresent a comouth and anus.plete



  1. Do sea urchins have teeth?


Sea urchins have a teeth-like structurejuxtaposed to the mouth and made of
five teeth connected to ossicles and
muscle fibers. This structurAristotle’s lantern, is use to scratche, known as
food, mainly algae, from marine rocks.



  1. What is the embryonic
    characteristic that
    evolutionarily makes
    echinoderms proximal to
    chordates?


Echinoderms adeuterostomes, i.nd chordates are., in their embryonice (^)
development the blastopore turns into
the anus. All other animals withcomplete digestive system are
protostomes, i.e., their blastopore
originates the mouth.
The blastoporthe digestive tue is the first opbe that appears in ening ofthe (^)
embryonic development.



  1. Do echinoderms have
    respiratory and circulatory
    systems?


In echinoderms there are not well-
defined respiratory (with thof the holothurian group) ande exception
circulatory systems. The ambulacral
hydrovascular system plays thof these systems. e function


  1. Do echinoderms have an
    excretory system? How is
    excretion done in these
    animals?


Echinoderms dsystem. Their excretions aro not have an excretorye eliminated (^)
by diffusion.



  1. How are the symmetry and
    the nervous system
    characterized in echinoderms?


Adult echinoderms, aloncnidarians, are the animalsg with that present (^)
radial symmetry,structures are distributed i.e., their bodyaround a (^)
center. Techinoderms hhe radial symmetry iowever is a secondaryn (^)

with lateral animals have lateral symmetry withsymmetry). All other (^)
exception of poriferans (no symmetry is
defined for them).
Echinoderms do not present

a neural ring around the mouth and of
radial nerves that ramify to pentaradial structure of the body.follow the
