Set 11 Flashcards
EUMETAZOANS
multicellular animals possessing tissues
Two phyla in Radiata
Cnidaria and ctenophora
Examples of cnidaria
hydroids, jellyfish, sea anemones and corals
Example of ctenophora
comb jellies
What evolutionarily is a divergence point between radiata and bilateria
Radiata has tissues only. Bilataria has organs and bilateral symmetry.
In radiate where does gastrulation end?
2 germ layers
What are the tissues in a diploblastic embryo
Outer ectoderm, inner endoderm
Describe the diploblastic embryo
two germ layers, and incomplete gut
GVC
Gastrovascular cavity (incomplete gut, only one opening)
What does phylum cnidaria stand for
Sting bearing. over 9000 species exist.

Colony
Cnidarian locomotion
Float, swim, or sessile
Cnidarian sensory structures
Gravity-sensing statocysts, light-sensing ocelli, NERVES
Cnidarian circulation/transport
GVC and can branch out to gastric canals in some jellyfish
Cnidarian osmoregulation/extretory
no specialized structures. simple diffusion with environment
Cnidarian respiration
simple diffusion with environment
Cnidarian feeding
Mostly carnivorous and captures prey with tentacles. Extracellular and intracellular digestion.
Cnidarian reproduction
Both monoecious and dioecious species and both asexual and sexual
Two types of Cnidarian body types
Polyp and medusa
cylindrical, usually sessile but some can move. solitary or colonial. tentacles surround a mouth/anus that faces upward
Polyp
umbrella-shaped bell floats or swims by contraction. tentacles surround a mouth/anus that faces downward
medusa
Cnidarian can exist in either polyp or medusa or…
alternate during their life cycles.
Outer epidermis is formed from (Cnidarian)
ectoderm
inner gastrodermis is formed from (Cnidarian)
endoderm
acellular mesoglea is found (Cnidarian)
between gastrodermis and epidermis
incomplete gut (Cnidarian) is surrounded by
tentacles
