pennatulacea | | interaction of 2 organisms; continuum |
cnidae | | cnidarians have a mutualistic relationship with |
manubrium | | synapomorphy that first shows up in this phylum |
spirocysts | | have high energy cost in light of reproduction |
colloblasts | | analogous to cnidae, ctenophores have them |
dactylozooids | | how polyps produce medusae |
anthozoa | | class containing true jellyfish |
polyp | | type of digestive system |
mesoglea | | only stage of an anthozoa |
operculum | | divide GVC and provide surface area for digestion |
zooxanthellae | | order of sea pansies/pens |
scleractinia | | order of cnidarians not colonial in class hexacorallia |
scyphozoa | | class containing sea anemones and soft corals |
GVC | | unique stinging/adhesion structures |
gorgonacea | | type of reproduction in anthopleura |
gastrozooids | | a colony within a colony |
cormidium | | order of stony corals |
actinlaria | | how polyps in colonies are connected |
strobilation | | upon stimulation this causes the operculum to be thrown open |
GVC | | used for feeding in hydrozoa |
pharynx | | order of soft corals in class that has 8 tentacles |
incomplete | | defense and prey capture in hydrozoa |
muscles | | where mouth of jellyfish is found |
velum | | runs from mouth to GVC |
mesenteries | | functions in excretion, digestion, hydrostat, fluid transport |
radial | | sticky, threadlike used for feeding |
eggs | | true jellyfish do not have, the rim around bell base |
fission | | middle layer derived from ectoderm |
symbiosis | | type of exoskeleton of many scleractinia |
cnidocil | | type of symmetry |
calcareous | | a hinged lid covering capsule in hydrozoa and scyphozoa |
