When a nematocyst is triggered by contact by predator or prey, pressure builds up rapidly inside it up to until it bursts.

After penetration, the toxic content of the nematocyst is injected into the target organism, allowing the sessile cnidarian to devour it.

Although similar in appearance, there are white nematocyst clusters present in both perradii and interradii of " Haliclystus octoradiatus ".

In particular, an extrusome complex of two organelles called the nematocyst and taeniocyst is considered a synapomorphy for " Polykrikos ".

The full range of functional roles of the nematocyst is not well understood, but it has been observed to be involved in prey capture and feeding.

Lidocaine, along with ethanol, ammonia, and acetic acid, may also help in treating jellyfish stings, both numbing the affected area and preventing further nematocyst discharge.

When the trigger is activated, the tubule shaft of the cnidocyst is ejected and in the case of the penetrant nematocyst, the forcefully ejected tubule penetrates the target organism.

In the vertebrate host, organisms belonging to the Myxosporea are characterised by spores composed of several amoeboid infective germ cells, and 2 to 7 nematocyst-like polar capsules.
20.
Tube anemones live inside and can withdraw into tubes, which are composed of a fibrous material made from secreted mucus and threads of nematocyst-like organelles known as ptychocysts.
