Beginning with the dawn of the Cambrian Period (542 million to 488 million years ago), echinoderms have a rich fossil history and are well represented by many bizarre groups, most of which are …

Web4 thg 10, 2019 · In some echinoderms, like sand dollars and sea urchins, the ossicles form a rigid shell known as a test. On the other end of the spectrum, sea cucumbers have very few ossicles and they are separated from each other. These ossicles may also fuse to form various structures, such as the brittle spines of the sea urchin. The water vascular …

WebThe Echinoderms are found in sea-depths as well as in the intertidal zones. An interesting feature of the phylum Echinodermata is that all the organisms belonging to this phylum are marine. None of the organisms is freshwater or marine. The water vascular system present in echinoderms accounts for gaseous exchange, circulation of nutrients and waste …

WebEchinoderms have a pretty amazing ability—they are able to lose an appendage and simply grow it back. The process, called regeneration, differs from species to species. When the body or arm of a sea star or brittle star splits, it initially covers the exposed wound with a protective layer of specialized skin cells. With the wound covered, it can then attend to …
