How does the water vascular system work?

Water enters the system through the sieve plate, and then flows through the ring canal around the mouth. From the ring canal the water flows through the radial canal in the feet. The radial canal is connected to the tube feet which has hundreds of tiny suckers. Oxygen enters and waste leaves the tube feet. Each tube foot is connected to an ampulla. The ampulla regulates fluid pressure so that each tube foot may extend or retract, hang on or let go.


What are the bulb-like sacs in echinoderms that push water through canals as a part of their vascular system?

The structure in an echinoderm that is a bulb like sac and pushes what is called the ampulla. It is connected to the radial canal of the water-vascular system. Each ampulla controls tube feet. The tube feet can extend when water pressure is increased by the ampulla being squeezed. :)

Where is the fertilization takes place?

The ampulla (fallopian tube) is the second portion of the uterine tube . It is an intermediate dilated portion, which curves over the ovary .It is the most common site of human fertilization .The word ampulla is from the Latin for flask


Function of vascular water system in starfish?

Starfish 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. The radial canals carry water to the ampulla (reservoir) portion of tube feet. Each tube foot consists of an internal ampulla and an external podium, or "foot". When the ampulla is squeezed, it forces water into the podium, which expands to contact the substrate. In some circumstances the tube feet seem to work as levers, but when moving on vertical surfaces, they form a traction system. Although the podium resembles a suction cup in appearance, the gripping action is a function of adhesive chemicals rather than suction. Other chemicals and podial contraction allow for release off the substrate. The tube feet latch on to surfaces and move in a wave, with one body section attaching to the surfaces as another releases.
