A schematic of a freshwater cnidarian polyp showing the central gastrovascular cavity (GVC). The GVC, an anatomical cavity within the body column of Hydra (genus Hydra), opens at the oral mouth surrounded by tentacles and extends toward the aboral basal disc. In zoology and invertebrate anatomy/physiology, this cavity enables extracellular digestion and internal distribution of nutrients in a single-opening digestive system. The illustrated entity is an organ-level structure nested within the organismal body plan of Hydra spp. (hydra).
