The asteroid‚ more commonly known as the starfish‚ or sea star‚ is an invertebrate that lives mainly in an oceanic environment. These unique and unusual creatures have a number of arms that protrude away from their spiny skinned bodies. The exact number of arms depends on the species; some have only three‚ and the most is 42. Most people commonly associate the starfish with having five arms. However‚ there are many species of starfish that have 3‚ 4‚ 6‚ 7‚ and 8 arms. Each arm that extends out of

the ocean? Echinoderms or starfish also known as the “stars of the sea” are very interesting marine animals that breathe out of their pores‚ and are able to regenerate their own arms. I don’t know about you but that is the most interesting thing I have ever heard. To begin with‚ the starfish started out about half a billion years ago they are cousins to the sea cucumber and sea urchin. All three of them are a part of a large marine group called echinoderms. Starfish usually go by the name “sea

Starfish or sea stars are marine invertebrates belonging to the phylum Echinodermata; class Asteroidea. Crown of Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster planci) are found on coral reefs in the tropics ranging from the Red Sea‚ the Indian and Pacific Oceans‚ and all the way to the Pacific coast of Panama. It plays a major role in the destruction of fast growing coral species. Scientists believe that this starfish has lived on the reefs for tens of thousands of years and when the populations of this echinoderm

There are many aspects of being an exercise physiology major. The field of exercise physiology has always interested me‚ but I was never sure about what career path I would choose. This year has really given me a better understanding of what path I would like to pursue. I really wanted to be an occupational therapist‚ but shortly after decided that I wanted to be a physical therapist. According to Writing‚ the annual salary for a physical therapist is in a range from $70‚000-$100‚000 (2010). I wanted
