tube feet | Muscular projections from the water-vascular systems of echinoderms that are used in locomotion, gas exchange, feeding, and attachment. |

dermal branchiae/papulae | Thin folds of the body wall of a sea star that extend between ossicles and funciton in gas exchange and other exchange processes. |
