Yes. The stomach of a starfish is located in the central disc. The stomach actually shoots out from the mouth and it secretes digestive juices that liquidize the prey and then a tube sucks up the liquid.

What is a female starfish called?

A female starfish is generally referred to simply as a "starfish," as there is no distinct term specifically for female starfish. Starfish, or sea stars, have the ability to regenerate and can reproduce both sexually and asexually. In terms of reproduction, the male and female starfish can often be identified by their reproductive organs, which are located on the arms. However, the species is typically referred to collectively, without differentiation by sex.


How do you dissect a starfish?

need: scissors Most people disect starfish starting at the optic cushion (sensory organ at tip of arms - looks like a slit) and cut along the arm then cut around the middle part of the starfish. You can do this to any or all of the legs and you can see all the organs this way.
