Substance found between the two epithelial cell layers in the bodies of coelenterates and sponges
This article is about mesoglea of Cnidaria and Ctenophora. For matrix in sponges, see mesohyl.
Mesoglea refers to the extracellular matrix found in cnidarians like coral or jellyfish as well as ctenophores that functions as a hydrostatic skeleton. It is related to but distinct from mesohyl, which generally refers to extracellular material found in sponges.
