ECHINODERMS
- Shells
- Snails
- Clamps
- Tahong
- Halaan
- Talaba
- Kuhol
- Octopus
- Squid
 Have soft bodies
 Most of them have protective shells as an outer
body covering
 Some have a muscular foot that is extended
slowly out of the shell when they move

* SQUID- has only a small soft shell inside its

body

* OCTOPUS- has no shell at all instead they

used tentacles- are specialized for rapid
movements that enable them to capture large
organisms for food

- sea cucumber
- sea urchin
- brittle star
- starfish
• With spiny skin

• Tube feet and systems of canals

- serves as channels for sucking in the
sea water to obtain nutrients and for
vomiting seawater
- used for locomotion
- Sea Cucumber
 An animal eats with its mouth, not its butt

 Uses its anus as a second mouth

 Breathes with its butt

 They don’t have lungs, rely on respiratory trees

 Respiratory trees
- is a set of long tubes running down either
side of the body with a lot of different branches
- it has a shaped like a hollow tube, with a
mouth at one end and its anus at the other.
- receives oxygen when water is pumped
through their anus using the muscles of their cloaca, an
opening at the end of the intestinal tract.
 it can pump 3.5 to 4 cups of water per hour
through its anus, transferring the oxygen
from the water into its respiratory trees,
which then oxygenates its cells.

 the 20-inch-long (50-centimeter-long)

animal is no slouch

 are usually scavengers which feed on the

debris on the sea floor

 feed on the waste and feces from the other

species.

 Sea Urchin
 Brittle Stars
- they can tell where’s up and where’s down
- they have no brains, all their actions are reflexes.
 spends most of its life in one position, constantly
feeding

 their legs reaching a maximum length of 10 cm

 they have five legs connect in a round disc in the

middle, in which all the organs are placed

 each of the legs is covered with small spikes with

which plankton is caught and eaten

 mouth is located on one side of the disc

 Starfish
 It has five legs, but some of them have more, which
radiate from an indistinct disk

 The common starfish is normally 10-30 cm

 They can change its color

 They do not have blood but instead use sea water to

pump around their bodies

 It has the ability to digest food outside of its body

 They were able to hunt prey that are much larger than
its mouth.

 The next shocked fact:
If a starfish is cut into pieces, each piece
will grow into a whole starfish!

 Types of shapes of this nature’s creation:

- Sugar starfish, white starfish, Crown of
thorns, sunflower star
- here are nearly 2000 kinds of sea stars
