two types of diversity in Phylum Porifera
morphological diversity and phylogenetic diversity
three types of morphological diversity in Porifera
Asconoid, Synconoid, and Leuconoid
three types of phylogenetic diversity in Porifera
Calcarea, Hexactinellida, and Demospongiae
most sponges are ____
Demospongiae
small incurrent pores on the sponge body
ostia
body cavity in a sponge
spongocoel
main excurrent body opening in a sponge
osculum
process by which water filters through a sponge
ostia suck water into the spongocoel and out through the osculum
small silica molecules that create structure in the sponge body
spicules
name for the sponge body (the especially spongey part)
mesohyl
creates the water current through the sponge
choanocytes
simplest sponge body form
asconoid
sponge body form that contains choanocyte-lined radial canals which empty into a single spongocoel
synconoid
sponge body form where multiple flagellated chambers connected together pump water into the spongocoel
leuconoid
largest/sturdiest/most abundant sponge body form
leuconoid
