Ctenophores (Greek for "comb-bearers") have eight "comb rows" of fused cilia arranged along the sides of the animal, clearly visible along the red lines in these pictures. These cilia beat synchronously and propel ctenophores through the water.

Although known as comb jellies and endowed with delicate gelatinous tissue like cnidarian jellies, ctenophores are only very distantly related to hydromedusae and scyphomedusae. Like the cnidarians, they survive quite well without the benefits of teeth and hard skeletal parts.

Ctenophores are planktonic organisms that are jelly-like in form but, unlike true jellies, they propel themselves by beating rows of compound cilia in waves. Their movement is therefore very gentle and gradual. The compound cilia occur in comb rows, five longitudinal rows on the body.
