WHAT DOES GASTROVASCULAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Gastrovascular cavity

Gastro vascular cavity, as the name suggests, functions in both digestion and the distribution of nutrients and particles to all parts of the body. Organisms belonging to two major phyla, the Cnidaria, and the Platyhelminthes, possess gastrovascular cavities. The radially symmetrical cnidarians have a sac-like body in two distinct layers, the epidermis and gastrodermis, with a jellylike layer called the mesoglea between. Extracellular digestion takes place within the central cavity of the sac-like body. This cavity has only one opening to the outside and, in most cnidarians, that is surrounded by tentacles which serve to capture prey. Example: Digestion in hydra occurs in gastrovascular cavity. Organisms with a gastrovascular cavity: ▪ Jellyfish such as Aurelia ▪ Sea anemones ▪ Corals ▪ Sea pen ▪ Flatworms...
