radial or asymmetrical
Term
What are three things that make studying sponges significant?
Definition
1) Model for immunology
2) Ecologically important as a shelter for species
3) Commercial source of bath sponges
Term
Osculum
Definition
the opening at the top of a sponge
Term

Term
Brooders
Definition
sponges that develop young internally
Term
gemmules
Definition
freshwater stage of reproduction. small tough balls that are meant to prevent dessication (drying out)

type of venus flower basket symbiosis?
Definition
commensalism
Term
Cnidaria's symmetry
Definition
radial
Term
Unique cells of cnidarians?
Definition
Cnidocytes with special organelle, nematocysts
Term

Definition
3: Epidermis, Mesoglea, Endoderm
Term
2 body forms of Cnidarians
Definition
Polyp and Medusa
Term
Class hydrazoa's special tissue
Definition
velum around the margin of the bell growing toward mouth to aid in propulsion
Term
coenosarc
Definition
living tube that connects some polyps and contains gastrovascular cavity
Term
perisarc
Definition
chitinous covering of the coenosarc
Term
Cnidarian Order: Limnomedusae
Definition
alternating generations, sexual medusa stage with velum and hollow tentacles
asexual polyp, Medusa have statocysts
EX: Craspedactusta, Gonionemus
Term
Cnidarian Order Anthoathecate

Polyp stage solitary of in colonies. Medusa without statocysts
EX. Tubularia, Pennaria, Hyrdathinia, Hydra
Term
Cnidaria Order Leptothecata
Definition
thecate hydroids, polyps alllways in colonies. hydranths (feeding polyp)are set in hydrotheca EX. obelia, campanularia, Plumularia
Term
siphonophora
Definition
polymorphic and pelagic

Ex. physalia (man of war, colony)
Term
scyphozoa
Definition
Jellyfish! Medusa dominant, no velum, mesoglea is cellular. all marine.
2 orders: semaeostomae and rhizostomae
Term
Class Semaestomae
Definition
Order syphozoa. Oral arms and gonads on the folds of gastrodermis. Ex. Aurelia aurita.
Term
Rhizostomae
Definition

Term
mesentary
Definition
any tissue that divides the coelom into sections
Term
Phylum Ctenophora
Definition
still under radiata but showing biradial symmetry. Name comes from ctenes- ciliary comb shaped plates
Term
ctenes
Definition
cilliary comb shaped plates located on 8 bands called comb rows
Term
Phylum Ctenophora characteristics
