How does a starfish adapted to live in its habitat?
They have water vascular system...
What is the function of the ampulla on a star fish?
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 are differences shrimp and starfish?
Crayfish have an external skeleton and starfish have an internal skeleton relying on a water vascular system for movement.
How does respiration occur in the starfish?
Respiration - The starfish has a water vascular system in which the repiratory exchange between oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. * The tube feet of the starfish act like gills. The Oxygen enters the water vascular system through the tube feet as the carbon dioxide exits the body. http://intro.bio.umb.edu/111-112/112s99Lect/bodyplans/starfish.html
What is the function of the sieve plate on a starfish?
the sieve plate is a filter for the water that enters the "Water Vascular System" in Echinoderms.
What is water vascular system and its general structure and function?
The water vascular system is a hydraulic system used by echinoderms, such as starfish and sea urchins, for locomotion, food and waste transportation, and respiration.
Does a starfish have blood?
No,they water pumped through their bodies and it is blue. They use the water vascular system.
Why are starfish hard to pull of rocks?
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.
Do starfish ooze?
60 percent of the time, they ooze all the time.
What is another kind of organ system that you could expect to find in a starfish?
In addition to the water vascular system responsible for movement and feeding, you could expect to find a digestive system in a starfish. This system includes the stomach and digestive glands for processing food.
