The Biological Bulletin, 2023 Integrated chemo- and mechanosensory pathways, along with activated calcium influxes, regulate nematocyst discharge from sea anemone tentacles. Discharge from vibration-sensitive Type A cnidocyte supporting cell complexes use calcium-conducting transient

The Biological Bulletin, 2020 Cnidarians, as model animals for studying conserved feeding behavior, possess the simplest nervous and digestive systems. Feeding behavior in cnidarians begins with nematocyst-mediated prey retention, proceeds to coordinated tentacle movements and mouth ...

Evidence that polycystins are involved in Hydra cnidocyte discharge
Invertebrate Neuroscience, 2017 Like other cnidarians, the freshwater organism Hydra is characterized by the possession of cnidocytes (stinging cells). Most cnidocytes are located on hydra tentacles, where they are organized along with sensory cells and ganglion cells into battery complexes.

The regulation of cnidocyte discharge.
Toxicon, 2009 Because cnidocytes are exceedingly complex cells which can only be used once, their discharge is highly regulated by way of a variety of chemosensory, mechanosensory and endogenous pathways. The integration of these various inputs ultimately results in exocytosis and then discharge of the cnidocyte's diagnostic organelle, the cnidocyst.

The cnidarian cnidocyte, a hightech cellular weaponry
BioEssays, 1995 AbstractThe members of the phylum Cnidaria (corals, sea anemones, medusae) are all equipped with stinging cells (cnidocytes, nematocytes), which serve mainly in prey capture and defense. The secretory product of these cells is a most complicated extrusome consisting of a cyst containing a tubule and a liquid matrix. Mechanical stimulation of the cell's
