Sentences with HYDROSOME (5)
Coll._) ] HYDROZOA.--The Graptolites ("stone-writing") have a chitinous skin (periderm) to the body or hydrosome, which is capable of preservation to a remarkable degree; for their most delicate structures are preserved on the surfaces of the fine black mud deposits which subsequently became hardened into slates.
This fixed colony, the "hydrosome," feeds and increases in size by gemmation, but does not produce sexual cells.
The hydrosome produces at a certain season of the year a number of buds, which develop into small bell-like jelly-fish called the "Medusae," which swim away from the parent stock and produce the sexual cells.
