How is the human heart adapted to its function?

It receives blood from the whole body. Blood from the lungs enters the heart through the pulmonary vein into the left atrium. ... - Has ventricles that has thicker walls thus more muscular than auricles generating higher pressure to pump blood over long distances.

organisms that lack symmetry are called asymmetrical and belong to phylum porifera/sponges.

organisms with specialized stinging cells belong to phylum cnidaria. stinging cells are called cnidoblast cells.

cnidarians show two morphological forms : polyp (sessile) and medusa (mobile)

filter feeding is observed in porifera members.  

alternation of generation is observed in coelenterata or cnidaria. there is alternation of asexual polyp form and sexual medusoid form. it is also referred as metagenesis.
