The 23 pages that link to Cnidocyte, each with the reason it gives.

• CnidariaBroader topic: This defining cell gives the phylum its name and enables prey capture and defense.

• CoralRelated: Coral polyps use cnidocytes to catch small prey and deter threats.

• JellyfishBroader topic: Jellyfish tentacles carry these cells, which discharge microscopic harpoons on contact.

• Leatherback sea turtleBroader topic: Leatherbacks can consume stinging jellyfish without apparent harm.

• NematocystNarrower topic: The nematocyst is the capsule housed inside this stinging cell.

• StingRelated: Jellyfish stings arise from discharged cnidocytes rather than a single rigid organ.

• HydrozoaRelated: These cells give hydrozoans their characteristic prey-capture and defense system.

• Medusa (biology)Related: Medusa tentacles use these cells to capture prey and deter threats.

• PlanulaRelated: This defining cell type distinguishes the phylum whose life cycles include planulae.

• Polyp (zoology)Related: These cells equip polyp tentacles to capture prey and defend the animal.

• Portuguese man o' warBroader topic: Its stinging cells discharge from the tentacles upon contact.

• ScyphozoaRelated: Scyphozoan tentacles and other tissues use these cells to capture prey and defend against threats.

• Sea anemoneBroader topic: Cnidocytes on the tentacles deliver the stings that subdue prey.

• Box jellyfishRelated: This shared cnidarian cell type underlies the group’s defining sting.

• SiphonophoreRelated: Siphonophore gastrozooids use cnidocytes to immobilize and capture prey.

• Chironex fleckeriNarrower topic: These cells arm the jellyfish’s tentacles with the microscopic stinging capsules that deliver venom.

• Chrysaora fuscescensRelated: Cnidocytes supply the tentacles' prey-capture and defensive sting.

• Jellyfish as foodRelated: Jellyfish handling must account for stinging cells on some species and body parts.

• Lion's mane jellyfishBroader topic: Cnidocytes in its tentacles deliver the sting that captures prey and deters threats.

• Praya dubiaRelated: These cells equip the colony’s feeding zooids to capture prey.
