Nervous System of Phylum Cnidarians
What do they consist of?
How do they work?
What is the form? |
|
Definition
They have a nervous system,but they have no brain. The nerve cells have two parts: the nerve cell body with a nerve cell fiber on either side. On one side of the cell is a receptor and on the other is an effector. The receptor recieves environmental stimuli and the effector cells take action. Environment stimuli may include: touch(mechanical), temperature, gravity, chemicals, and light.
The nerve cells are specialized for the transmission of information in the form of electro-chemical pulses.
They are int he form of nerve "nets". Pulses may travel ineither direction, unlike in humans. |

What organismis generally found living amutualistic relationship with corals?
Why? |
|
Definition
Algea is usually found with corals.
The algea gets shelter and carbon dioxide and the coral gets oxyegenand food.
During the day the polyps do not come out, b/c plankton comes out at night, so during the day the coral feeds off the algea. |

Sperm penetration activates development NOT fertilization. |

|
Term
|
Definition
It is the second membrane/layer of the egg. It acts as a shield. It is activated after the egg has been penetrated so that other sperm are not entering the egg and killing it. |

Term
As well as the activation of the vitelline, what also happens during penetration? |

Term
Can an egg be activated artificially?
How? |
|
Definition
Yes. Not all eggs can be, but some can. Such as some frog eggs. But in most cases this artificial activation kills the cell. NOT IN HUMANS
This can be done with a needle or mild electric shock. With this the egg is activated, the chromosomes spontaneously double, cleavage occurs, and a normal adult animal may occur. |
|
|
Term
What is penetration?
What happens during penetration?
What is it also called? |
|
Definition
Penetrationis the fusion of the sperm and egg membranes.
When the egg is penetrated, the corticule granules discharge their contents in between the two membranes of the egg. The contents soak up and attract water. This pushes the vitelline mebrane away. This process is called cortical reaction. It is a slow block to polyspermy,as opposed to the electro-chemical fast block to polyspermy. It takes about 30 to 60 seconds.
It is also called egg activation. |
