• Phylum Cnidaria
• Hydras, jellies, sea anemones, and corals
• Soft-bodied
• Carnivorous
• Stinging tentacles arranged in circles around their mouths
• Simplest animals to have body symmetry and specialized cells
![Page 3: Phylum Cnidaria - Crestwood High School · • Phylum Cnidaria • Hydras, jellies, sea anemones, and corals • Soft-bodied • Carnivorous • Stinging tentacles arranged in circles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051107/5fff739d98589c46dc1364d2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Stinging cells that are located on their tentacles
• Used for defense and to capture prey

• A poison-filled, stinging structure that contains a tightly coiled dart
• Found within cnidocytes

• Only a few cells thick
• Simple body systems
• Most of their responses to the environment are carried out by specialized cells and tissues

• Central mouth surrounded by numerous tentacles that extend outward from the body
• Life cycles includes a polyp and a medusa stage

• Polyp: cylindrical body with arm-like tentacles; mouth points upward
• Medusa: motile, bell-shaped body; mouth on the bottom

• Polyps and medusas have a body wall that surrounds an internal space: the gastrovascular cavity
• Gastrovascular cavity: a digestive chamber with one opening
– Food enters and wastes leave the body
![Page 9: Phylum Cnidaria - Crestwood High School · • Phylum Cnidaria • Hydras, jellies, sea anemones, and corals • Soft-bodied • Carnivorous • Stinging tentacles arranged in circles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051107/5fff739d98589c46dc1364d2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Following digestion, nutrients are usually transported throughout the body by diffusion
• Respire and eliminate wastes by diffusion through body walls

• Statocysts: groups of sensory cells that help determine the direction of gravity
• Ocelli: eyespots made of cells that detect light
![Page 11: Phylum Cnidaria - Crestwood High School · • Phylum Cnidaria • Hydras, jellies, sea anemones, and corals • Soft-bodied • Carnivorous • Stinging tentacles arranged in circles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051107/5fff739d98589c46dc1364d2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Specialized sensory cells are used to gather information from the environment
• Nerve net: loosely organized network of nerve cells that together allow cnidarians to detect stimuli – Distributed uniformly throughout the body in
most species – In some species it is concentrated around the
mouth or in rings around the body

• Hydrostatic skeleton: a layer of circular muscles and a layer of longitudinal muscles that enable cnidarians to move
![Page 13: Phylum Cnidaria - Crestwood High School · • Phylum Cnidaria • Hydras, jellies, sea anemones, and corals • Soft-bodied • Carnivorous • Stinging tentacles arranged in circles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051107/5fff739d98589c46dc1364d2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Polyps can reproduce asexually by budding
• External sexual reproduction – The sexes are separate-each individual is
either male or female
– Both egg and sperm are released into the
water

• Jellies (formerly jellyfishes)
• Hydras and their relatives
• Sea anemones
• Corals
![Page 15: Phylum Cnidaria - Crestwood High School · • Phylum Cnidaria • Hydras, jellies, sea anemones, and corals • Soft-bodied • Carnivorous • Stinging tentacles arranged in circles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051107/5fff739d98589c46dc1364d2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• The worldwide distribution is determined by:
– Temperature
– Water depth
– Light intensity
• Many suffer from human activity
• Coral bleaching has become common
• Global warming may add to the problem
