These tube feet have suction disks that enable the animals to crawl or attach themselves to objects. Think of a starfish "clinging" to the walls of the inside of a fish tank

What is the organ for breathing of echinoderms?

On the ventral side of an echinoderm (say, a sea star, for example) there are hundreds of tiny feet arranged into rows on each appendage. These are called tube feet. By varying the internal water pressure, the echinoderm can extend and contract its tube feet for locomotion, food collection, and respiration

Gas exchange in an echinoderm takes place through?

Gas exchange in an echinoderm takes place through tube feet and papulae, which are specialized structures that allow exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide with the surrounding water. Water enters the echinoderm's body through the madreporite and circulates to the tube feet and papulae for gas exchange.


The water vascular system of an echinoderm regulates?

Locomotion. In the sea star, water enters the system through a sieve plate. Eventually it is pumped into many tube feet, expanding them. When the foot touches a surface, the center withdraws, producing suction that causes the foot to adhere to the surface. By alternating the expansion and contraction of it's many tube feet, a sea star moves slowly along.
