Young gibbous starlet, dorsal view
Young gibbous starlet (Asterina gibbosa) starfish, light micrograph. The outline has two types of protuberances, the short jagged spines and the long rounded tube feet (podia). This dorsal (top) view shows a blurred central dark mass that is the digestive sacs (pyloric caecae). The mouth (not seen) is on the underside of the starfish.
