Summary Introduction
To enlist:
The three functions of the water-vascular system of echinoderms.
Introduction:
The echinoderms use the hydraulic system that serves the various functions in the body. The members possess an exoskeleton covered with spiny projections. The body plane of adults is radially symmetrical, while that of larvae is bilaterally symmetrical.
