Two basic body forms:
Medusa (bell- shaped) and
Polyp (flower-like)
![Page 4: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Structure
Mouth – both entry of food and exit of wastes
Tentacles – contain spring-loaded nematocysts to sting and immobilize their prey
Tentacles guide paralyzed food into the mouth
Gastrovascular cavity – food is digested here

Many cnidarians do not have to eat due to symbiotic relationships with autotrophic protists
The protists live in the gastroderm of the animal
Some cnidarians are so dependent on the relationship that they will die if not kept in bright sunlight
![Page 9: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Some cnidarians have long, tube-shaped branching gastrovascular cavities
They do not need to send wastes back through the mouth; wastes simply diffuse out through the cell walls of the epidermis
![Page 10: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cnidarians do not have a BRAIN, but do have nerve nets throughout the body.
The NERVE NET is concentrated around the mouth.
![Page 11: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cnidarians sense their environments using chemo and touch receptors in the epidermal layer
![Page 12: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sensory Receptors
Simple sensory organs surround the medusa bell
1. statocysts are used for balance
2. Ocelli (eye spots) detect light
Statocysts
![Page 13: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cnidarians lack true muscle cells, but have cells that change shape when stimulated by the nerve net – therefore, they can move.
![Page 14: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The medusa can open and close like an umbrella, allowing it to move by “jet propulsion” when water is forced out of the medusa
![Page 15: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Asexual Reproduction
Polyps produce new polyps or medusae by budding
![Page 16: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sexual Reproduction
Mature medusa release gametes into the water
After fertilization, the zygote becomes a ciliated larvae that swims around
Eventually, the larva attaches to a hard surface and grows into a polyp
![Page 17: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Hydras- a Hydrozoan
Spend most of life as polyp
Can move with a somersaulting movement
![Page 19: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Portuguese Man-Of-War
A type of hydrozoan that grows in a colony
One of the polyps becomes a float to keep the colony on the surface
They may produce very long tentacles – the poison in the nematocysts is very strong and causes humans great pain

Jellyfish Most of life is as a
medusa
![Page 23: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The sting of most jelly fish are harmless to humans, but the tiny, Australian jellyfish can kill you in 3-20 minutes.
Box jelly

Sea Anemones + Coral
Only have the polyp stage
Most ecologically important invertebrates
Sea anemones are solitary polyps
![Page 25: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Sea anemones

Clownfish and Sea Anemone – symbiotic relationship –tentacles protect clown fish from predators, clownfish protects tentacles from being eaten
![Page 27: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Corals
Grow in shallow, tropical water
Produce skeletons of CaCO3
Most are colonial, creating coral reefs
Entire ecosystems revolve around coral reefs

Coral reefs also protect the land from the ocean swells and waves
![Page 32: Cnidarians Jellyfish, Hydra, Corals, Sea Anemones, Sea Fans and Sea Pens.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649e8e5503460f94b9141e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Corals produce chemicals to prevent being overgrown by other organisms. Some of these chemicals have been used as anti-cancer medications
