Tripartite coelomic cavities
Phylum Echinodermata The phylum of triploblastic.coelomate animals whose members are pentaradiallysymmetrical as adults and possess a water-vascular system and an endoskeleton covered by epithelium. Pedicellaria often present.
Class Crinoidea Free living or attached by an aboral stalk of ossicles; flourished in the Paleozoic era. Sealilies; feather stars. Approximately 630 living species.
Class Asteroidea
Rays not sharply set off from central disk; ambubcralgrooves with tube feet; suction disks on tube feet; pedicellariae present. Sea stars. Approximately 1,800 species.
Class EchinoideaGlobular or disk shaped: no rays; movable spines; skeleton (test) of closely fitting plates. Sea urchins, sand dollars. Approximately 1,000 species.
Class OphiuroideaArms sharply markedoff from the central disk; tubefeet without suction disks. Brittle stars. More than 2,000 species.
Class Holothuroidea No rays; elongate along the oral-aboral axis; microscopic ossicics embedded in a muscular body wall; circumoral tentacles.Seacucumbers. Approximately 1,700 species
Phylum Hemichordata Widely distributed in shallow, marine, tropical waters and deep, cold waters; softbodied and worm-like; diffuse epidermal nervous system; most with pharyngeal slits.
Class Enteropneusta
Shallow-water. worm-like animals; inhabit burrows on sandy shore lines; body divided into three regions; proboscis, collar. and trunk. Acornworms (Balanoglossus, and Saccoglossus). Approximately 100 species.
Class Pterobranchia With or without pharyngeal slits; two or more arms; often colonial, living in an externally secreted encasement. Rhabdopleura. Approximately 30 species.
Phylum Echinodermata Characteristics
Calcareous endoskeleton in the form of ossicles from mesoderm.

.
Hemalsystem.
Nervous system consisting of nerve net, nerve ring, and radial nerves.
Pentaradial symmetry.
Body parts arranged in fives (or multiples of five) around an oral-aboral axis.
Some secondarily bilateral.
Evolution of the skeleton may account for pentaradial form
Water vascular system.
|Water-filled canals with tubefeetextensions.
Ringcanal opens to outside via stone canal and madreporite.
Polianvesicles function in water storage.
Tube feet.
Muscular ampulla.
Often suctioncup at distal end (may also be blunt or pointed).
