The water vascular system of echinoderms consists of a network of canals filled with fluid connected to the coelom. It contains structures like the madreporite, stone canal, ring canal, radial canals, and tube feet. The system functions in locomotion, food capture, attachment, and sometimes respiration, excretion, and sensation. It varies in structure across the different echinoderm classes.
It discusses basic information regarding a hemichordate animal called Balanoglossus or Acorn worm, which is also a good connecting link between the non-chordates and chordates.
Sponges,are pore bearing,multicellular,diploblastic animals that belong to phylum Porifera
Body of all sponges is perforated by large number of pores called ostia through which water enters Inside body and flows through a system of criss-crossing canals known as canal system
Three main types of canal systems in the order of increasing complexity are Asconoid, Syconoid and Leuconoid type.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
1. WATER VASCULAR SYSTEM/AMBULACRAL SYSTEM
IN ECHINODERMS
•System of canals & associated structure filled with
watery fluid containing
•Entire system derived from the coelom (hydrocoel), the
canals are lined by ciliated epithelium.
•Basic components : madreporite, stone canal, ring canal,
radial canal and tube feet
•It is variously modified in the different classes of
echinodermata.
2. Water Vascular System in Asteroidea
•Components
•Madreporite-
Hard, circular, porous, calcareous plate
Found on the aboral surface of the disc inter-radially.
Surface carries a number of radiating narrow furrows
/grooves.
Bottom of these grooves are perforated by minute
pores.
Each pore leads into a pore canal.
Pore canals in turn unite to form several collecting
canals which open into a small sac-like ampulla below.
Ampulla leads into the stone canal.
3. Stone Canal:
•S-shaped canal extending from the madreporite to the
ring canal.
• Wall strengthened calcareous rings
• lumen of the canal is divided by a longitudinal ridge.
•Ring Canal: Ring canal is a wide
• pentagonal canal lying around the oesophagus.
Polian Vesicles: ring canal bears on its outerside five, thin
walled, flask shaped, contractile structures called Polian
vesicles.
•They store sea water
• help to regulate hydrostatic pressure inside the system
by quickly emptying the water.
4. Tiedemann's Bodies/Racemose Glands:
•Small, rounded, yellowish, glandular bodies
•Lymphatic glands involved in the production of corpuscles
found in the water vascular system.
Radial Canals: 5 radial canals arise from the five angles of
the ring canal externally.
•Each radial canal runs into an arm above the ambulacral
groove and terminates in a short tentacle at the tip.
Lateral Canals: In each arm, the radial canal gives out on its
lateral sides two rows of short, narrow, branches called
lateral canals.
•Each lateral canal carries a tube feet at its tip.
• Lateral canals are provided with valves which prevent flow
of water back to the radial canal.
•The valves are placed at the junction of lateral canal and
ampulla.
5. •Tube feet: Elastic,thin walled,hollow closed cylinderlike
structure
•Three distinct region : ampulla,podum adhesive disc
•Ampulla- upper rounded sac like part of the tube foot
•Podium- middle tubular part
•Adhesive disc – terminal cup like part
6. Water Vascular System in Ophiuroidea
•Madreporite : oral in position & usually bears a single pore
canal.
•Stone canal: runs upward to join the ring canal.
•Ring canal : situated in a grove on the aboral side ofthe jaw
apparatus.
•Ring canal gives off polian vesicles in each interradius
except the one which bears the stone canal.
•Polian vesicles are accompanied by long, slender, tubular
appendages of unknown function, known as simroth's
appendages.
• Tiedemann's bodies are absent.
•V-shaped lateral canals originate from the radial canals and
terminate in tube
•Tube feet are poorly developed without ampulla and sucker.
7. •Water Vascular System in Class Echinoidea
•Madreporite - aboral and leads to a ventral sinus through
many pore canals.
•Stone canal descend orally to join the ring canal.
•Ring canal lies just above the masticatory apparatus
(aristotle's lantern).
•Five polian vesicles and five tiedemann's bodies present.
•Radial canals rise up to run along the under side of
ambulacral areas of the test.
•Radial canal gives off lateral canals alternatively on both
sides.
•Each tube foot consists of ampulla, podium and sucker.
8. Water vascular system in holothuroidea
•Madreporite lies in the coelom and does not communicate with the
exterior.
•Stone canal usually divided into a bunch of smaller canals,
extending between madreporite and ring canal.
•Ring canal encircles the pharynx.
•Number of polian vesicle –one
•Tiedemann's bodies absent.
•Five radial canals arise from the ring canal and run anterior wards.
•Tube feet on the ventral side are provided with suckers , used for
locomotion, while those on the dorsal side are without suckers and
probably sensory in function.
•In apoda, tube feet are absent, water vascular system is limited to
the water ring, polian vesicle and buccal podia (tentacles).
9. Water Vascular System in Crinoidea
•Madreporite is absent.
•Ring canal encircling the mouth gives off stone canals hanging
freely in the coelom.
• 5 radial canals originate from the ring canal.
•Each radial canal after entering an arm bifurcates and divides to
supply all of the branches and pinnules.
•Lateral canals originating from the radial canals supply the tube
feet.
•Tube feet lack ampullae and suckers and are covered with cilia
•Tegmen is perforated ciliated, funnel shaped water pores
(ciliated funnels) that open into the coelom internally.
•Tiedemann's bodies and polian vesicles are absent.
10. Functions of Water Vascular System
•Locomotion: musculature provides a hydraulic pressure
mechanism responsible for movement. The wall of ampulla is
formed mainly of circular muscles while that of podium comprises
longitudinal muscles.
•filled with a fluid similar to sea water and any slight loss of fluid in
the system is compensated by sea water intake through the
madreporite.
•beating of the cilia of the ambulacral system facilitates the entry of
water into the system.
•This fluid moves through stone canal, ring canal, radial canals,
lateral canals and finally reaches the ampullae of the tube feet.
•During movement the tube feet perform a sort of stepping action
11. •Food Capture: While feeding, the tube feet are used to
hold the prey and also to open the shells of molluscs.
•Attachment: The suckers of the tube feet help the animal
to remain anchored to rocks and other hard substrata.
•Respiration, Excretion and Sensation: In many
echinoderms, the tube feet are not locomotory in function.
Instead, they become modified to serve as respiratory,
sensory and excretory structures (eg. sea cucumber, sea
lily, etc.).
