Echinoderms do not have a respiratory system similar to a person's. Instead, they have a water vascular (otherwise known as "ambulacral") system, made up of a network of canals to move water. This method accounts for the creature's gas exchange, feeding, and locomotion. Because of this characteristic, echinoderms lack gill slits.
