gastrovascular cavity

There is only one body cavity known as the gastrovascular cavity.

A gastrovascular cavity is present where the digestion starts and later becomes intracellular.

This opens into the gastrovascular cavity, where digestion takes place and nutrients are absorbed.

The pharynx connects the mouth to the gastrovascular cavity.

The digestive system consists of a mouth, pharynx, and a structure called a gastrovascular cavity.

The polyps are connected by epidermis which surrounds a gastrovascular cavity.

After that, the prey is transported to the gastrovascular cavity where it is digested.

This has been established by examining the degree of genetic similarity between the offspring in the gastrovascular cavity and their parent.

The food gathered is shared with neighbouring polyps via the gastrovascular cavity inside the coral's skeleton.

This connects to the gastrovascular cavity, the radial canals and the circular marginal canal.

The gastrovascular cavity functions as a stomach in both digestion and the distribution of nutrients to all parts of the body.

The gastrovascular cavity itself is divided into a number of chambers by mesenteries radiating inwards from the body wall.

Its mouth is located at the center of one end of the body, which opens to a gastrovascular cavity that is used for digestion.

The gastrodermis is the inner layer of cells that lines a gastrovascular cavity of Cnidarians.

The groove, termed a siphonophore, is ciliated, and helps to circulate water through the gastrovascular cavity.

The anemone stabilizes itself by shutting its mouth, which keeps the gastrovascular cavity at a constant volume, making it more rigid.

Example: Digestion in hydra occurs in gastrovascular cavity.

Gastrovascular cavity divided by radial septa into rhopalar and tentacular pouches.

Organisms with a gastrovascular cavity:

The gastrovascular cavity is mentioned during a human dissection or autopsy in the 1962 B movie "Ring of Terror".

Individual polyps have eight feathery tentacles and, in the gastrovascular cavity, eight septa, or partitions.

After fertilization, the female corals will carry the eggs as the offspring develop within her gastrovascular cavity and released as larvae.

Organisms belonging to two major phyla, the Cnidaria, and the Platyhelminthes, possess gastrovascular cavities.
