Planula

Japanese: planula
Planula

…In the Hydrozoa, the gonads arise from the ectoderm on the underside of the radial duct. The fertilized egg becomes a planula with ciliated tissue on the entire surface, which floats and then attaches to the surface to become a polyp. The polyp asexually buds off to form a colony, on which a medusae or sacs are produced, resulting in the sexual generation of jellyfish. …

From [Coelenterates]

...the gonads of hydromedusae are exposed around the mouth stalk or on the inner surface of the umbrella, while in scyphomedusae they are formed in the stomach cavity. The fertilized eggs are cleaved into divisions, equal divisions, radial divisions, etc., and when the endoderm is formed, they become planulae with cilia on the body surface and swim. The planulae eventually attach to the surface and transform into young polyps.

From [Larva]

…Let’s look at the characteristics of each group, starting from the most primitive. (1) Planula Larvae: A larva found only in coelenterates, it has a simple structure in which a cavity surrounded by a wall of ectoderm made of one layer of cells is filled with endoderm cells. It is very similar to the mesoblastula of other animals (Figure 1). …

【腔腸動物】より

…生殖腺はヒドロクラゲでは口柄の周囲や傘の内面に露出して生じ,ハチクラゲは胃腔の中に生ずる。受精した卵は分割,等割,放射型などに卵割し,内胚葉が形成されると体表に繊毛をもったプラヌラ幼生planulaになって遊泳する。プラヌラはやがて着生して若いポリプに変態する。…
