23.3 Sponges and Cnidarians
Sponges have specialized cells but no tissues.
• Sponges are the most primitive animals on Earth. – 570 million-year-old fossils– closely related to group of
protists • Sponges share common
characteristics.– sessile – reproduce both sexually and
asexually – filter feeders

23.3 Sponges and Cnidarians
• Sponges have several types of specialized cells.
osculum
choanocyte
amoebocyte
pinacocyte
pore
spicule
– pinacocytes – choanocytes – amoebocytes

23.3 Sponges and Cnidarians
Cnidarians are the oldest existing animals that have specialized tissues.
• Cnidarians have two body forms.
– polyps
In the polyp formof a coral, the tentaclesand mouth face upward.

23.3 Sponges and Cnidarians
– medusas
In the medusa form of a jellyfish, the tentacles andmouth face downward.

23.3 Sponges and Cnidarians
• Cnidarians are made up of two tissue layers separated by mesoglea.
barbscoiled nematocyst
dischargednematocyst
• The outer tissue layer has three cell types. – contracting cells – nerve cells – cnidocytes (which contain
nematocysts)
gastrovascular cavity
mouth
mesoglea
tentacle
oral arms

23.3 Sponges and Cnidarians
• The four major cnidarian classes are defined by their dominant body form.
– Anthozoans such as sea anemones have a dominant polyp stage.

23.3 Sponges and Cnidarians
• The four major cnidarian classes are defined by their dominant body form.
– Hydrozoans such as hydra alternate between forms.

23.3 Sponges and Cnidarians
• The four major cnidarian classes are defined by their dominant body form.
– Scyphozoans are jellyfish with a dominant medusa form.
– Anthozoans such as sea anemones have a dominant polyp stage.
– Hydrozoans such as hydra alternate between forms.
– Scyphozoans are jellyfish with a dominant medusa form.
– Cubozoans such as sea wasps have a dominant medusa form.
