long
• U-shaped
burrows
• acorn worms
GENERAL CHARACTERS
• Marine Habitat
• Ciliated Pharyngeal Slits
• Open Circulatory System
• Complete igestive Tract
• Proboscis;short and conical projection at the anterior
end
• Collar; ring like
• Trunk ; elongated
• Ciliated epidermis and gland cells
Maintainance Functions
• Feeding
• probocis
• cilia
• mucous
• mucoid string
• Pharyngeal slits
Cont...
Digestion
• Simple tube
• hepatic sacs
• complete
digestive
system
• from mouth to
anus
Respiration
• Diffusion
• Pharyngeal
Slits
• diffusion
(blood and
water)
Excretion
• Pores in collar
• Ammonia
• Diffusion
• Through anus
Cont...
Circulatory System
• 1 dorsal and 1 ventral blood
vessel
• anteriorly and posteriorly
circulates
• blood colorless
• distributes nutrients
• open circulatory system
• Glomerulus
Nervous System
• ectodermal in
origin
• a dorsal and a
ventral nerve
cord
• neve plexus
• no major
ganglia
• sensory
receptors
cont...
Reproduction and
development
• Dioecious
• 2 rows of gonads
• external fertilization
• tornaria larvae
CLASS
PTEROBRANCHIA
• deep oceans
