In the separate water vascular system of seastars, a secondary inflammatory response (amebocyte clumping) is induced by injections of bacterial suspensions and by repeated injection of sea urchin amebocytes into the coelom. Heavy exposure of seastars to ciliate populations induces appearance of a ...
Sea stars don't have acirculatory systemlike we do. They have a water vascular system. This is a system of canals in which seawater, instead of blood, circulates throughout the sea star's body. Water is drawn into the sea star's body through themadreporite, which is shown in the nex...
that is hypothesized to act as the central nervous system of the larva, and the ciliary band neurons representing the peripheral nervous system [21]. The architecture of the echinoderm nervous system has been the subject of many studies carried out mainly in sea urchins and sea stars through...
Instead of blood, echinoderms have a water vascular system, which is used for movement and predation. The echinoderm pumps sea water into its body through a sieve plate or madreporite, and this water fills the echinoderm's tube feet. The echinoderm moves about the sea floor or across rocks ...

Like other echinoderms, sea urchins also have tube feet. If we go back to the image of the test as a sliced orange, the tube feet emerge from holes along five 'slices'. Like other echinoderms, the tube feet are operated hydraulically with the water vascular system that all echinoderms ...
Sea urchins possess the same five-fold symmetry (pentamerous) as the other echinoderms (featherstars, sea stars and sea cucumbers). Like most other echindoerms they possess a water vascular system which enables them to inflate balloon-like tube feet. The tube feet, often with suckers on the...
sea stars, sea cucumbers, and chitons (UFBoot 100%, Fig.2a). Interestingly, the two novel mollicutes inCallogorgia deltaare not each other’s closest relative and shared only 84% sequence identity across the entire 16S rRNA gene which is below the suggested cutoff to differentiate bacterial ...
Vibriosis is one of the most serious bacterial diseases and causes high morbidity and mortality among cultured sea breams. This study was undertaken to track the surveillance of Vibrio infection and its correlation to environmental factors. A total of 11
During further ontogenesis, the left hydrocoel becomes the ring canal that gives rise to the radial canals of the ambulacral (or water vascular) system, and the stone canal connects the ring canal with the madreporic ampulla. The latter is connected to the exterior by a number of small ...
