About: Coenosarc

An Entity of Type: anatomical structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In corals, the coenosarc is the living tissue overlying the stony skeletal material of the coral. It secretes the coenosteum, the layer of skeletal material lying between the corallites (the stony cups in which the polyps sit). The coensarc is composed of mesogloea between two thin layers of epidermis and is continuous with the body wall of the polyps. The coenosarc contains the gastrovascular canal system that links the polyps and allow them to share nutrients and symbiotic zooxanthellae.

  • Le coenosarc est un tissu mou du polype des scléractiniaires qui recouvre l’extérieur du calice, c’est la couche de tissu vivant recouvrant le coenostéum. (fr)
  • Il cenosarco , detto anche cenenchina o cenosoma, è quella parte di tessuto molle vivente che ricopre la massa scheletrica, detta cormo, degli antozoi e degli idrozoi, collegando i singoli polipi di quella stessa colonia, le cui cavità celenteriche sono tra loro in connessione tramite un sistema tubolare.
