Water gets into the water vascular system through an opening in the echinoderm's body. When the animal contracts its muscles, the water is forced through the system and into the tube feet. The tube feet act as suction cups, gripping the surface below. When the echinoderm retracts its muscles, the tube feet retract and let go of the surface. This series of contractions and retractions allows the animal to move along the ocean floor.

Answer: Sea stars move using a water vascular system. Water comes into the system via the madreporite. It is then circulated from the stone canal to the ring canal and into the radial canals.

Explanation: The radial canals carry water to the ampullae and provide suction to the tube feet.

Travka [436]

Answer:

Gastrulation is the process where the developing embryo forms the process of the 3 germ layers. These germ layers are formed due to the movement of the single-layered blastula. Gastrulation starts during the third week of the human embryo.

The three germ layers give rise to different organs of the fetus. The 3 layers are ectoderm or outer layer, mesoderm or middle layer, and endoderm or inner layer.  

These 3 germ layers give rise to different organs of the human fetus. Ectoderm forms epidermis, skin, hair, olfactory organs, eye lense. glands like pituitary. Sensory nerves, skeleton, pigment cells are also formed from ectoderm.  

Ectoderm also forms a neural tube that further divides to form the brain, spinal cord.

Mesoderm form the vertebral column, skeletal muscle, excretory organs, reproductive organs. It also forms blood cells, blood vessels, body cavity or coelom.

The inner layer endoderm gives rise to the lining of the digestive tract, liver, pancreas, bladder, etc.
