2. Anatomy of sea star

Directions: Using the letters in the picture above, match the description with the structure.
_B__1. The anus is found on the top of a sea star, this is where wastes are removed.
__F_2. The mouth is on the opposite side of the anus, food is taken in here
__A_3. Large and centrally located between the mouth and anus is the stomach, where food is
digested
_E__4. The ring canal surrounding the stomach, part of the sea star's water vascular system
D___5. The radial canal extends from the ring canal and into the sea star’s arms, also part of the
vascular system
__C_6. Attached to the radial canal are the tiny tube feet with suckers
