What does a jellyfish use its tentacles for?

Jellyfish tentacles have a variety of jobs. Their main purpose is to capture food. Usually they trail behind the jelly to fish for prey. Once contacted, tentacles have specialized cells that sting, stick to, or entangle the prey to immobilize it. The tentacle then contracts and draws the prey towards the mouth of the jellyfish, where oral arms push the food into the oral cavity for consumption. Tentacles sometimes are also used to aid locomotion, grasp onto substrates, and ward off enemies.


How do jellyfish feed and digest?

Most jellyfishes are passive drifters that feed on living or dead preys: small fish, eggs, zooplankton and other invertebrates that become caught in their tentacles. Preys are brought (by tentacles, if they have any) into the cavity, called coelenteron, where it is digested.Jellyfishes have cells called cnidocytes, which contain nematocysts, and located usually on their tentacles, mainly. Whenever a prey comes in contact with cnidocytes, hundreds to thousands of nematocysts' filaments are ejected into the prey's direction. These stinging cells are thus able to latch onto the prey, and the tentacles, or the oral arms (manubrium) bring the prey item into their mouth for digestion.


What body part does a jellyfish use to get its food?

A jellyfish uses its tentacles to capture food. The tentacles have specialized cells called cnidocytes, which contain stinging structures called nematocysts. When the tentacles come into contact with prey, the nematocysts release toxins that paralyze the prey. The jellyfish then moves the prey toward its mouth, located at the center of its bell, using its oral arms. The prey is digested in the jellyfish's gastrovascular cavity.
