Coelenterata Flashcards
what is the cavity present in the coelenterata called
gastro-vascular cavity
what are the different types of gastro-vascular cavity
- with compartments
2. without compartments
which class of animals contains the gastro-vascular cavity with compartments
anthozoa
what are the members of phylum coelenterata called
cniderians/coelenterates
how do the gastro-vascular cavity of some members have compartments
due to the invagination of the body wall into the gasto-vascular cavity
who coined the term coelenterata
who coined the term cnideria
Leukart
Hyman
symmetry of the members of coelenterata
they are radially symmetrical except sea anemone bi
radially symmetrical
why are they called the cniderians
consist of the cnidoblast cells (stinging cells)
what kind of tentacles are found in hydra and obelia
hydra has hollow tentacles while obelia has solid tentacles (h for h)
what is the universal character of all cniderians
cnidoblast cells
what is the habitat of the cniderians (on the basis of the classes)
they are mostly marine and few fresh water (eg Hydra)
hydrozoa - most marine few fresh water
scyphozoa - marine
anthozoa - marine
name the following
sea fur
sea pen
se fan
obelia
pennantula
gorgonia
which of the following is solitary, colonial and free swimming
aurelia
obelia
hydra
hydra - solitary , sessile
obelia - colonial
aurelia - free swimming
what is the grade of organization of the members of coelenterata
they have tissue level of body organization
how many germ layer do the member of coelenterata have
2 they are diploblastic
what is the name of the body wall
epidermis and gastrodermis/endodermis
what is the middle transparent jelly like material called
mesoglea
what is mesoglea composed of
it is composed of mucopolysaccharide which is secreted by both epidermis and gastrodermis
this layer is non cellular
what is the function of the mesoglea
it provides nutrition to both epidermis and gastrodermis
Q. mesoglea in hydra:
a. non-cellular, can be crossed by interstitial cells
b. non-cellular, cannot be crossed by interstitial cells
it is non-cellular which can be crossed by the interstitial cells, during the time of bud formation the interstitial cells or the totipotent cells move from the gastrodermis to the epidermis
what is delamination
the process of conversion of hollow bastula to the solid gastrula by the proliferation of the bastomere cells
how is the gastrovascular cavity formed
gastrovascular cavity is formed by the splitting of the endodermal cells of gastrula
what are the different types of cells found only in epidermis
S(2)INEG(2) Stinging cells/Cnidoblast cells sensory cells Interstitial cells Nerve ells Epithelio-muscular cells Glandulomuscular cells Germ cells/Sex cell
