2.) Tend to be soft bodied
3.) Most are nocturnal
4.) Bilateral symmetry on top of pentamerous symmetry (So some degree of cephalization)

Ossicles...
Come in various morphologies - very important taxonomic character
The coelom in a sea cucumber...
Uses coelom to help work against scattered ossicles
There are only _______ longitudinal muscles in a sea cucumber.
Five
Sea cucumbers can undergo...
Evisceration
What is evisceration?
Expelling viscera or internal organs, can expel all internal organs
What are the two theories of evisceration?
1.) Defense mechanism
2.) Seasonal
Why can evisceration be though to be a defense mechanism?
Eviscerate then predator has something to feed on as sea cucumber escapes, some say there is a distasteful chemical that animals learn to avoid
Why can evisceration be though to be seasonal?
Very species dependent, but doesn't need organs during low productivity times like winter
Class Echinoidea has...
1.) ~950 species
2.) Are the sea urchins, sand dollars, heart urchins, and sea biscuits
Class Echinoidea...(4)

The Aristotle's lantern...
Scrapes algae, it is very complex with teeth and plates
The rigid test has...
1.) Ossicles fused into "puzzle"
2.) 5 double rows with pores, (From ossicles) which tube feet emerge from
3.) 5 double rows (Ossicles without pores)
The 5 double rows with pores are called?
Ambulacral series
The 5 double rows without pores are called?
Interambulacral series
Both double rows are called together?
Tubercules
The spines of Class Echinoidea...
Are made of fused ossicles at base to help move
