In class hydrozoan of the cnidarians mesoglea is well developed and is in extended form. In hydrozoans mesoglea is largely acellular. Embedded in the mesoglea around the margins of the medusa are sensory structures called statocyst. A statocyst consist of a small sac surrounding a calcium carbonate concretion called statolith. The statolith moves in response to the gravity that may change the animals swimming behavior.
