Lesson 5c. Radiate Animals Flashcards
Radiate animals include two phylum
Phylum cnidaria
Phylum ctenophora
Phyla characterized by radial or biradial symmetry and their body are arranged around a central axis
Radiate animals
Body can be divided into mirrored halves only along 2 planes through central axis
Biradial symmetry
Both have two well-developed germ layers
Endoderm and ectoderm
Internal body cavity with a single opening (mouth and anus)
Gastrovascular cavity
Simplest form of true nerve cells
Protoneurons
They have the simplest form of sense organs
Radiates
Maintain equilibrium and ocelli
Statocysts
Radiates can move by ____ or _____
Muscular contractions
Ciliary comb plates
3 classes of phylum Cnidaria
Class hydrozoa
Class scyphozoa
Class anthozoa
All are aquatic and radial symmetry, sessile or floating
Phylum Cnidaria
Type of body form that is tubular body with tentacles
Ex: hydra
Polyp
Type of body form that is bell shaped and free swimming
Ex: jellyfish
Medusa
This has representatives like hydra, obelia, Portuguese man-of-war
Class hydrozoa
Class hydrozoa: a medusa form has a ______( ring of tissue that is found at the base of the tentacles)
Velum
They are freshwater hydrozoa, sessile polyps, lives underside of aquatic leaves, 16 species found in North America
Hydra
Length of 25-30 mm with cylindrical tube with stalk like end and an attachment end
Hydra
Attachment end that contains gland cells to allow adhesion
Basal disk
It has 6-10 tentacles that are hollow and extendable and contain nematocyst (stinging cells)
Hydra
Outer layer or epidermis; contains 5 types of cells
Ectoderm
Cell that is responsible for muscular contractions
Epitheliomuscular cells
Undifferentiated stem cells that become most other types of cells
Interstitial cells
Cell that secretes an adhesive substance that aids in the attachment process
Gland cells
Cell that contain nematocyst
Cnidocytes
Cell with multipolar neurons
Nerve cells
