General InformationGeneral Information
EumetazoansEumetazoans (true animals) all animals (true animals) all animals other than sponges-have both tissues and other than sponges-have both tissues and symmetrysymmetry
When eumetazoans develop-they develop When eumetazoans develop-they develop three embryonic tissue typesthree embryonic tissue types
EctodermEctoderm outer layer-gives rise to outer covering of outer layer-gives rise to outer covering of body and nervous systembody and nervous system
MesodermMesoderm middle layer-gives rise to skeleton and middle layer-gives rise to skeleton and musclesmuscles
EndodermEndoderm inner layer-gives rise to digestive organs inner layer-gives rise to digestive organs
Cnidaria CharacteristicsCnidaria Characteristics

Reproductive Life CycleReproductive Life Cycle
Alternate generations between polyp and Alternate generations between polyp and medusa formmedusa form

Stinging CellsStinging Cells
Tentacles have stinging Tentacles have stinging cells called cnidocytescells called cnidocytes
Each cnidocyte has Each cnidocyte has nematocyst that are barbed nematocyst that are barbed and are used to spear the and are used to spear the preyprey
FeedingFeeding

Tentacles contract to bring Tentacles contract to bring food to mouthfood to mouth

Three Classes of CnidariaThree Classes of Cnidaria
HydrozoaHydrozoa Polyp dominant which is larger than medusaPolyp dominant which is larger than medusa
ScyphozoaScyphozoa Medusa dominant and it is larger than polypMedusa dominant and it is larger than polyp
AnthozoaAnthozoa Only polyps no medusa formsOnly polyps no medusa forms
HydrozoaHydrozoa
HydrozoansHydrozoans Have both medusa and polyp stagesHave both medusa and polyp stages
EX: HydraEX: Hydra freshwater- no medusa stage- solitary freshwater- no medusa stage- solitary polyp- lives in quiet ponds, lakes, and streams-polyp- lives in quiet ponds, lakes, and streams-attaches to rocks with sticky basal diskattaches to rocks with sticky basal disk
EX: Portuguese Man of WarEX: Portuguese Man of War marine-medusa and marine-medusa and polyps- colony of organisms-gas filled balloon floats on polyps- colony of organisms-gas filled balloon floats on surface and dangling below are the tentacles with surface and dangling below are the tentacles with stinging cells-prey is entangled in the tentaclesstinging cells-prey is entangled in the tentacles
Hydrozoan ReproductionHydrozoan Reproduction
Most hydrozoan reproduce asexually by Most hydrozoan reproduce asexually by forming small buds on the outside of forming small buds on the outside of their bodies-these buds develop into their bodies-these buds develop into miniature polyps-miniature polyps-
Hydrozoan can also reproduce Hydrozoan can also reproduce sexually-the polyps produces male and sexually-the polyps produces male and female medusa that release egg and female medusa that release egg and sperm in water-the egg and sperm form sperm in water-the egg and sperm form a larvae called a planulae the eventually a larvae called a planulae the eventually settles to the bottom and forms a polyp.settles to the bottom and forms a polyp.

AnthozoansAnthozoans
AnthozoansAnthozoans largest class of Cnidaria – largest class of Cnidaria –name means flower animal-DO NOT name means flower animal-DO NOT form medusa – Show neoteny (sexual form medusa – Show neoteny (sexual maturity during the larval stage) maturity during the larval stage)
Sea AnemonesSea Anemones soft bodied polyps-coastal- soft bodied polyps-coastal-feed on fish-when touched they retract their feed on fish-when touched they retract their tentacles-Symbiotictentacles-Symbiotic
CoralsCorals live in colonies-polyp secretes a hard live in colonies-polyp secretes a hard outer covering which make up coral reefs-outer covering which make up coral reefs-
