  1. Radiate Animals Cnidarians and Ctenophores

  2. Radiates Are Eumetazoans

  3. Radiates • Radial symmetry • Tissue level organization • Two germ layers • Ectoderm and endoderm • Nerve net (simple nervous system) • Extracellular digestion

  4. Cnidaria Ctenophore Radiate Phyla

  5. Phylum Cnidaria • Two forms • Polyp • Medusa • Tentacles • Nematocyst

  6. Polyp and Medusa Forms

  7. Class Hydrozoa • Mostly colonial • Polyp and medusa life cycle for most • Hydra – non colonial polyp stage only • Obelia – typical colony • Chiton exoskeleton • Extracellular and intercellular digestion

  8. Hydra

  9. Hydra Tissue Structure

  10. Obelia Life Cycle

  11. Gonionemus

  12. Class Scyphozoa • Larger jellyfish • Not colonial • No vellum • Internal gastric pouches • Radial canals lead to ring canal

  13. Aurelia Life Cycle

  14. Medusa

  15. Strobilia

  16. Class Anthozoa • Subclasses • Zoantharia – anemones, hard coral • Alcyonaria – sea fans (soft coral) • Ceriantipatheria – tube anemone, horny coral • Polyp form, no medusa stage • Partitioned gastrovascular cavity

  17. Sea Anemone

  18. Sea Anemone

  19. Anemone Fish (Clown Fish)

  20. Zoantharian Coral • Calcium carbonate exoskeleton secreted externally from base • Contain mutualistic zooxanthallae algae • Live in colonies • Hexamerous symmetry

  21. Coral Polyps

  22. Alcyonarian Coral • Octomerous symmetry • Colonial • Can communicate with members of colony through tubes call solenia • Endoskeleton composed of spicules and protein and secreted within mesoglea

  23. Soft Corals

  24. Phylum Ctenophora • Comb Jellies • Move using cilia • Comb plates • Do not have nematocysts • Colloblasts capture food

  25. Comb Jelly Tentacle

  26. Comb Jelly Structure

  27. Comb Jelly Cilia

  28. Predatory Comb Jellies Approaching Prey

  29. Predatory Comb Jelly Engulfing a Comb Jelly

  30. Comb Jelly After a Meal
