The mesoglea is sandwiched between the epidermis and the gastrodermis. In some jellyfish the epidermis on the umbrella/bell surface seems to break off when the jellyfish grows so the mesoglea of older jellyfish is directly exposed to the water. [8] The mesoglea itself consists of multiple layers that can be differentiated by their electron density.
The mouth leads into the coelenteron, similarly to the hydranth, which then branches into 4 radial canals. The canals take the food around the entire body of the gonangia for full digestion. The endoderm of the gonangia is the inner lining to the canal system. The mesoglea can be found in the manubrium in between the endo- and ectoderm.
The mesohyl, formerly known as mesenchyme or as mesoglea, is the gelatinous matrix within a sponge. It fills the space between the external pinacoderm and the internal choanoderm . The mesohyl resembles a type of connective tissue and contains several amoeboid cells such as amebocytes , as well as fibrils and skeletal elements.
In some invertebrates, such as Porifera, Cnidaria, Ctenophora, and some triploblasts (namely the acoelomates), the term "mesenchyme" refers to a more-or-less solid but loosely organized tissue that consists of a gel matrix (the mesoglea) with various cellular and fibrous inclusions, located between the epidermis and the gastrodermis (non ...
Obelia is a genus of hydrozoans, a class of mainly marine and some freshwater animal species that have both polyp and medusa stages in their life cycle. Hydrozoa belongs to the phylum Cnidaria, which are aquatic (mainly marine) organisms that are relatively simple in structure with a diameter around 1mm. [1]
The gastrovascular cavity is the primary organ of digestion and circulation in two major animal phyla: the Coelenterates or cnidarians (including jellyfish and corals) and Platyhelminthes (flatworms).
Six small non-avian dinosaur eggs, no bigger than grapes, were discovered during a field study in Ganzhou, China, in 2021. These eggs now mark the smallest-ever found in the world.
Fossils may be found either associated with a geological formation or at a single geographic site. Geological formations consist of rock that was deposited during a specific period of time. They usually extend for large areas, and sometimes there are different important sites in which the same formation is exposed.
