Locomotion, gathers food, aids in respiration, and aids in excretion
The ampulla on a starfish is part of the water vascular system, and stores water and sends it to tiny tube feet on the ventral side of a starfish's arms. This process helps starfish move, as the water vascular system is the part of the starfish responsible for locomotion.
what causes the ampulla of vater in the pancreas to be prominent
There is no ampulla of ductus deferens in pigs
expands and becomes rigid due to increased internal pressure, allowing the starfish to move and grip onto surfaces. This hydraulic system is controlled by a series of muscles that regulate the flow of water in and out of the tube feet, enabling the starfish to navigate its environment.
Echinoderms (which include starfish) have a water vascular system associated with movement in some species and feeding in others. Water is pumped around the system through the ring canal, lateral canals, radial canals, ampulla, podium and to the sucker feet. This water vascular system has a vacuum effect allowing the starfish to suction its many feet to the substrate and release them at its own will.
The duodenal ampulla is formed by the fusion of the pancreatic duct (duct of Wirsung) with the common bile duct (duct of the liver). This union occurs at a structure called the hepatopancreatic ampulla (ampulla of Vater).
An ampulla of Vater is a swelling which marks the union of the pancreatic duct and the common bile duct.
An ampulla of Lorenzini is an electroreceptor found in many fish as well as sharks, forming a network of jelly-like canals.
The ampulla of the ear is superficial and located on the surface of the ear. It is a small swelling or dilatation at the entrance of the ear canal.
ampulla of the uterine tube.
The ampulla of vater (hapetopancreatic ampulla) is joinigbetween the bile duct and the main pancreatic duct .It is located in the abdomen between the pancreas and the second part of the duodenum , which is the first part of the small intestine.
