What I learned today: Obelia Medusa
Today I learned what Obelia Medusa is, and the structure/function of it. Obelia Medusa is a genus in the class Hydroza (Hydroza is a taxanomic class of predatory animals, which are solitary or colonial) and consists mainly of marine water and some fresh water animals. The Medusa is umbrella shaped. The tentacles on it have many nematocysts to assist in capturing prey. Extending into the cavity is the manubrium. The manubrium contains a mouth as its tip, and is surrounded by four oral lobes. Gonads can be seen on the outside of Medusa as well. Egg and sperm are released into the sea where fertalization takes place. The Zygote then devolops into plaula larva.
