The mesoglea is mostly acellular, [2] but in both cnidaria [3] and ctenophora [4] the mesoglea contains muscle bundles and nerve fibres. Other nerve and muscle cells lie just under the epithelial layers. [2] The mesoglea also contains wandering amoebocytes that play a role in phagocytosing debris and bacteria. These cells also fight infections ...
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.
He found they were complex structures composed of 2,000 to 3,000 filaments in a single, conical functional unit. Each macrocilium shows the typical eukaryote construction of nine external and two internal microtubules. The individual macrocilium is between 50 and 60 micrometres long and 6 to 10 micrometres thick, with the cilia bonded together ...
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 ...
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 previous record for the smallest non-avian dinosaur egg, according to Guinness World Records, measures 45-by-20 millimeters (about 1.77-by-0.79 inches). Discovered in Japan's Tamba City, this ...
Most of the large, often colorful, and conspicuous jellyfish found in coastal waters throughout the world are Scyphozoa. [4] They typically range from 2 to 40 cm (1 to 15 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) in diameter, but the largest species, Cyanea capillata can reach 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) across. Scyphomedusae are found throughout the world's oceans, from the ...
