Term
Echinodermata
Definition

(Phylum) includes: Asteroidea (starfish), Echinoidea (sea urchins & sand dollars), Holothuroidea (sea cucumbers), Ophiuroidea (brittle stars), Crinoidea (sea lily, feather stars)

Term
hepatic caeca
Definition

(starfish)

-aka pyloric or digestive caeca; most digestion and absorption of food occurs here

Term
ambulacral groove
Definition
("ambulare": to walk): a groove running down the oral surface of an echinoderm arm, containing the tube feet
Term
madreporite
Definition
The madreporite is an opening used to filter water into the water vascular system of echinoderms. It is visible as a small red or yellow button-like structure, looking like a small wart, on the aboral surface of the central disk of a starfish.
Term
pedicellariae
Definition
found on Echinoderms, particularly of the class Asteroidea. They serve to keep the body surface clear of encrusting organisms, though some pedicellariae aid in food capture
Term
ampulla
Definition

(starfish)

-in echinoderms, the round, muscular structure on a tube foot that aids in locomotion


-Contraction of the tube feet forces water into the ampullae, creates suction that allows suckers at the ends of the feet to hold to a surface; When the ampullae contract, water is forced into the feet, extending them and releasing the suction. These coordinated actions permit movement, attachment, and capture of prey.

Term
