Chapter 6 & 7 Porifera, Cnidaria, and Ctenophores Flashcards
filter feeders
Any feeding process by which particulate food is filtered from water in which it is suspended.
ostium
Opening
osculum
Excurrent opening in a sponge
choanocytes
take in sperm, transform into carrier cells, and carry sperm through mesohylto oocytes
collagen
Tough, fibrous protein occurring in vertebrates as the chief constituent of collagenous connective tissue; also occurs in invertebrates—for example, the cuticle of nematodes.
Skeletons of sponges are made up of ________ and spicules
asconoid
Simplest form of sponges, with canals leading directly from the outside to the interior
syconoid
They have a tubular body and a single osculum. Choanocyte layer is folded back and forth to make canals
leuconoid
organization is the most complex of the sponge types and permits an increase in sponge size. Largest in size
incurrent canal
Water, entering the body through dermal pores, moves first to ____________ _____________
radial canal in sponges
___________ ________ lined with choanocytes
mesohyl
Gelatinous matrix surrounding sponge cells; “connective tissue” of the sponges
pinacocyte
Flattened cells comprising dermal epithelium in sponges.
spicules
Amebocyte in sponges that secretes spicules.
