    Structure and Function in Echinoderms
    ::杂质中的结构和功能

    Echinoderms have a distinct endoskeleton , an unusual organ system called the water vascular system , and a number of other less unique features. How is the endoskeleton organized? What are the components of the water vascular system, and how do they function to move the organism ? This section will answer these questions and will examine the other organ systems found in echinoderms.
    ::Echinodems有一个独特的内骨骼,一个称为水血管系统的不寻常器官系统,以及其他一些不那么独特的特征。内骨骼是如何组织起来的?水血管系统有哪些组成部分,它们如何运作以移动有机体?本节将回答这些问题,并将检查在脑电图中发现的其他器官系统。

    Endoskeleton
    ::底骨骼

    The echinoderm endoskeleton consists of a meshwork of plates and spines connected by mesodermal tissue . The plates are called ossicles. The organization of the ossicles that compose the endoskeleton of a sea star is shown in Figure  . The ossicles are made up of microscopic networks of calcium carbonate crystals that form a unique structure referred to as the stereom. The ossicles may be tightly packed together, as they are in sea urchins, or they may be more loosely connected, as they are in sea stars. The same is true for the spines. Sea urchin spines are often quite loosely attached (despite the tight packing of the ossicles), and it is not uncommon to find a sea urchin alive and well but lacking most of its spines.

    There are several specialized aspects of the echinoderm endoskeleton that vary between species. One example is the presence of pedicellariae on species of sea stars and sea urchins. Pedicellariae, shown in Figure  , are spines modified as pincer-like structures that can be used to thwart predators . Another example of a modified endoskeletal feature is a feeding organ called Aristotle’s lantern (discussed in the Echinoderms: (Advanced) concept), which are found in sea urchin species.

    Water Vascular System
    ::水血管系统

    The water vascular system of echinoderms is essentially a system of fluid-filled canals that extend along each of the body regions and have many external projections called tube feet . There are several functions of the system, one of which is to use water pressure to mediate movement and assist in feeding. It also carries out respiratory, excretory, and some circulatory functions within the animal. The individual components of the water vascular system are the following:
    ::脑电流系统基本上是一个装满液体的运河系统,分布在每个身体区域,有许多外部预测,称为管脚,该系统有几个功能,其中之一是利用水压调节运动和帮助进食,它还在动物体内进行呼吸、排泄和一些循环功能。

    • Stone canal.
      ::石头运河
    • Circular ring canal.
      ::圆环运河
    • Radial canals.
      ::放射性运河。
    • Lateral canals.
      ::横向运河
    • Tube feet.
      ::管子脚

    What does each of these components do, and how do they contribute to the functioning of the water vascular system? The madreporite is a sieve-like, calcified plate that connects the system to the environment. Water enters through the madreporite and flows through a tube, called the stone canal, that connects to the circular ring canal surrounding the mouth. From there, water can flow into five radial canals that branch off the circular ring. The radial canals each extend into a different ray, or arm, of the organism along a groove called the ambulacral groove. Numerous lateral canals, leading to rows of tube feet on either side of the ambulacral groove, branch from each side of the radial canals. The organization of the components of the water vascular system is shown in  Figure  .

    The components of the water vascular system of echinoderms. Water enters the system through the madreporite, flows through the stone canal, and enters the ring canal. A number of bulbous structures, called polian vesicles, that branch off of the ring canal serve as reservoirs to maintain extra water stores. From the ring canal, water enters the radial canals that extend into each of the arms, or rays. The lateral canals branch from the radial canal and bring the water into the ampullae and podia of the tube feet.

    The tube feet extend between the endoskeletal plates to reach outside of the organism. They are basically thin-walled cylinders with muscular bulb-shaped structures called ampullae on the internal end and suckered structures called podia on the external ends. The tubular canals that make up the water vascular system are lined with cilia . Cilia are small hair-like, cellular projections that beat back and forth repeatedly to help maintain water flow through the canals.

    So how do tube feet work to move the animal? When the of the ampullae contract, water is forced into the suckered podia, which then extend outward. As the podia stretch, they can use their suckers to attach to a location farther away from their previous point of attachment. This results in a slow but powerful form of movement. Extended tube feet can also be used to generate small waves of water current toward the mouth region to assist in food collection. A close-up view of the tube feet of an echinoderm is shown in Figure .

    In addition to the mechanical work it conducts, the water vascular system also provides respiratory and excretory functions. Most echinoderms do not have respiratory or excretory organs, so the thin walls of the tube feet serve this purpose by allowing oxygen to diffuse in and waste to diffuse out.
    ::除了机械工作外,水血管系统还提供呼吸和排泄功能,大多数脑外科没有呼吸或排泄器官,因此管脚的薄壁有助于达到这一目的,允许氧气散入和废物散出。

    When discussing the bilaterally symmetrical phyla, we have been able to use terms such as anterior, posterior, dorsal, and ventral to refer to the front, back, top, and bottom of the animal. With radially symmetrical animals, such as echinoderms, it is more difficult to specify which region of the animal you are talking about. Generally, the surface of the animal with the mouth opening is called the oral surface, and the one without the mouth opening is called the aboral surface. The madreporite opens into the aboral surface. Because the madreporite is one of the few non-repeating structures of echinoderms and is not directly in the center of the animal, it is used as an orientation point to distinguish between the various radial projections (arms/rays) of echinoderms. For example, echinoderm rays are named A through E in a counter-clockwise direction, and A is defined as the ray opposite the position of the madreporite. This is illustrated in Figure .
    ::当讨论双边对称的植物时,我们能够使用诸如前额、后端、面部和通风等术语来指动物的前部、背部、顶部和底部。在对称动物(如脑电极)的辐射性动物中,更难确定你所说的动物的哪个区域。一般而言,张嘴的动物表面被称为口腔表面,而没有张嘴的动物表面则被称为口腔表面。疯人院打开的表面进入了腹部表面。因为疯人院是少数非重复的脑电介质结构之一,并不直接位于动物中心,因此它被用作区分各种脑电极射线(武器/射线)的取向点。例如,在反时针方向,将脑电极射线命名为A到E,A被定义为与麻风球位置相对的射线。图中说明了这一点。

    Other Organ Systems
    ::其他机构系统

    Almost all echinoderms have a simple but complete digestive tract. Although most species lack respiratory and excretory organs, echinoderms do have a . They generally have an open circulatory system but lack a distinct heart. In an open circulatory system, circulating is not entirely contained within . The is not centralized and usually consists of a network of interconnected nerve distributed throughout the body. There is a nerve ring surrounding the mouth in the central region and nerves that extend from the ring into each arm. Echinoderms are able to sense chemical and physical stimulation using sensory cells located on the surface of their bodies. Some of these cells have chemoreceptors that bind to molecules called pheromones . Individuals within a species secrete pheromones that bind to the receptors found on other individuals as a means of . One example of this is the signaling of metamorphosis . Pheromones secreted by a cluster of adult echinoderms may indicate to larvae swimming nearby that they have found a good place to settle. The larvae sense the pheromone and respond by settling and initiating the process of metamorphosis (changing from a free-swimming larval form to a more sedentary adult form). In the next section we will examine the of echinoderms and the nature of their metamorphic changes.

    Reproduction and Development
    ::复制和发展

    Most echinoderms reproduce by through the fusion of and eggs . They generally have separate sexes, and is usually external. Sea cucumbers, for example, release sperm and eggs into the open ocean where they may come in contact and undergo fertilization. The majority of echinoderm species undergo indirect development with a free-swimming bilaterally symmetrical larval stage. The bilateral symmetry of the larvae is strikingly different from the radial symmetry of the adult stage. Larvae undergo a process called metamorphosis, in which the organization of the body shifts from bilateral to radial symmetry. Some species, however, undergo direct development, where the young are simply smaller, sexually immature versions of their parents. There are also a few species, particularly among those living in extreme environments such as polar regions, that exhibit behavior. They nurture the young until they are old enough to fend for themselves. Some species of sea stars and brittle stars are also capable of by fission. In this process, the animal splits itself into two parts and each part regenerates the missing regions to produce a complete individual.
    ::大部分的脑电离子通过聚变和卵体繁殖。 它们一般有不同的性别,通常是外部的。 例如,海参将精子和蛋释放到它们可能接触和受肥的开阔海洋中。 大多数脑电离子物种都通过一种自由的对称的双向幼虫阶段进行间接发育。 幼虫的双边对称与成年阶段的辐射对称非常不同。 拉尔瓦经历了一种叫作变形的过程, 身体的组织从双边向辐射对称转变。 但是, 一些物种直接发育, 在那里, 年轻人只是其父母的性不成熟型小。 还有少数物种, 特别是在生活在极地地区等极端环境中的物种中, 表现出行为。 它们培养幼虫直到它们老到足以养活活自己为止。 一些海洋恒星和小恒星也能够通过裂变。 在这个过程中, 动物本身分裂成两个部分, 每一个部位, 产生一个完整的单个区域。

    Echinoderms have the ability to regenerate a missing arm, or ray. The limb may be lost as the result of a bite from a predator, or in some cases it is purposely released by the echinoderm in a process called self-amputation, or autotomy. This is usually done to escape a predator that has a hold of that particular limb. Most echinoderms can only undergo regeneration if a certain portion of the animal remains intact, usually including the central disk region. However, sea stars have quite extensive powers of regeneration, and they can often produce an entire organism from a small segment such as an arm. A sea star in the process of regenerating a missing limb is shown in Figure  .
