The last-named are specially numerous on the tentacles and on some other regions of the body, and produce the well-known "thread cells," or _nematocysts_, so characteristic of the Coelentera.
Perhaps this is the case in the sea pens, although these forms possess nematocysts which should serve as adequate protection.
The walls of the tentacles do not differ in general structure from those of the column, but the cells of the endoderm are smaller and the nematocysts of the ectoderm more numerous, and there are other minor differences.
