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.
It is the primary site for fertilization.
An ampulla of Lorenzini is an electroreceptor found in many fish as well as sharks, forming a network of jelly-like canals.
Saccule and utricle"Static" means stationary or at rest. the 4 functions are vestibular nerve, ampulla, cupula, and otoliths
Ampulla
The hepatopancreatic ampulla, also known as the ampulla of Vater, is a crucial anatomical structure in the digestive system where the bile duct and the main pancreatic duct converge and empty into the duodenum. Its primary function is to regulate the flow of bile and pancreatic juices into the small intestine, facilitating the digestion and absorption of nutrients. This structure is surrounded by the sphincter of Oddi, which controls the release of these digestive fluids in response to the presence of food in the intestine. Proper functioning of the hepatopancreatic ampulla is essential for effective digestion.
to move material further down the tube. ie from the infundibulum to the ampulla

There is no ampulla of ductus deferens in pigs
The swollen area of the semicircular canal is known as the ampulla. Each of the three semicircular canals in the inner ear has an ampulla at its base, which contains sensory hair cells and supporting cells. These structures are responsible for detecting rotational movements of the head and help maintain balance and spatial orientation. The ampulla is crucial for the vestibular system's function, contributing to our sense of equilibrium.
Yes, If another fish was to eat the star fish whilst underwater then the star fish would die.
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).
