Cnidaria Flashcards
Ctenophora are known for their
In sunlight
Beauty delicate nature
Comb plate gives the effect of rain bow
Sea gooseberries ( other name )
body structure
Sea walnuts comb-jellies
Spherical, cylindrical, pear shaped
Transparent jelly
Ctenophora are

Radial / bilateral symmetry
Tissue grade body organisation
Diploblastic
Carnivorous
Ctenophora locomotion
Location and how
Digestion
Body bear eight external row’s of ciliates comb plates
Exclusively marine and pelagic (float on sea surface)
Extra cellular intracellular
Ctenophore in place of chidoblasts
On tentacles ends lasso cells which help in catching prey
Ctenophore sexuality
Fertilization

Ctenophora example
Pleurabrachia (tenoplana, Beroe
Platyhelminthes why flatworms
Endoparasite or ectoparasite exception
They have dorsoventrally flattened body
Endoparasite -not all are parasitic eg planaria( dogesia)

Suckers hook present in parasitic form
Absent
Incomplete / absent tapeworm
Epidermis secretes (platyhelminthsis)
Function
Cuticle is present called tegument
Protects the parasite from digestive enzymes of host
Solenocytes
Function
Hydro skeleton ( platyhel)
Specialised cell called flame cells help in Osmo regulation and excretion
Turgidity of fluid in parenchymal meshes maintains the form of body

Male has what for copulation
Cloaca
Has penial spicules
genital tract joins digestive tract to form cloaca [absent in female)
