EXCRETION


Nearly all echinoderms release their solid wastes through the anus. It will then be released in the form of feces, except with the organism brittle stars, because they do no require an anus and thus leaving them to excrete through the mouth. Wastes are excreted through the tube feet and skin gills on the body, and also contain nitrogen in the form of ammonia.
