Gastrovascular cavity
From WikiMD's WELLNESSPEDIA
The gastrovascular cavity is the primary organ of digestion and circulation in two major animal phyla: the Coelenterates or cnidarians and Platyhelminthes in maximum length. The pointed, oval-shaped leaves are 2 to 3 cm long and green. The plant bears small, solitary bell-shaped flowers in shades of white to very light pink with reddish bracts. The flowers hang like tiny bells. The fruit is a red berrylike capsule. It was a food for the Hoh and Quileute of the Pacific Northwest. [[Category:Uncategorized
