Both molluscs and echinoderms have the organ system grade of organization. Organ systems such as nervous systems, digestive systems are present. They are triploblastic and are coelomate animals. Both molluscs and echinoderms possess circulatory systems that are predominantly open, symmetrical bodies (radially symmetrical in echinoderms, bilaterally symmetrical in molluscs).
