OBS

L'anus, ordinairement, s'ouvre chez les Crinoïdes récents au sommet d'une saillie périsomique, nue ou renforcée de plaques, dressée sur le tegmen, dans l'interradius postérieur. Chez les Crinoïdes paléozoïques, cette saillie peut s'étirer en un "tube anal" ou "proboscis", parfois si long que la pointe en émerge au-dessus des bras.
