How does the Cnidocyte of a Cnidarian Function? A cnidocyte, cnidoblast or nematocyte, is a type of venomous cell unique to the phylum Cnidaria (corals, sea anemones, hydrae, jellyfish, etc.).
Such cells are called stem cells. Stem cells are those undifferentiated cells which have the potential to become specialized to form a specific type of cell. For instance, mesenchymal stem cells are a type of stem cells which can differentiate into osteoblasts, chrondocytes, myocytes and adipocytes.
1 An outer layer of cells, or trophectoderm, will form the placenta that supports the embryo as it grows inside the uterus. 2  An inner clump of cells, called the inner cell mass, is a ball of 10â20 cells. 3  These cells are undifferentiated, or unspecialized.cientists have also made stem cells from the inner cell masses of human embryos by employing a similar technique to that used to isolate mouse ES cells. You can learn more about the human embryos used in this research and where they come from in the factsheet, Embyronic stem cell research: an ethical dilemma.
