multicellular and tissue levels chapter 9 Flashcards
porifera
sponges
osculum
opening at the top where water exits
spongocoel
large chamber
spicules
skeleton of calcium carbonate, slender rods 3-4 rayed
choanocytes
flagellated collar cells lining the inside canals, maintain current of water, they trap and phagocytize food particles
archaeocytes
free cells, may function in digestion or secretion of spicules or collagen
mesoglea
gelatinous “connective tissue” layer between cells
what are the 3 types of sponges?
Asconoid Sponge, Sychnoid sponge, Leuconoid sponge
Monoecious
having both female and males sexes in one body
asexual reproduction includes…
regeneration, budding and gemmules
gemmules
internal buds (dormant), masses of cells that are encapsulated and survive periods of harsh conditions
regeneration
replacement of lost parts
budding
external buds of tissue drop pff pf parent
Asconoid
simple sponges; small, shallow-water marine sponge, vase or tube like
sychoid sponge
larger than asconoid sponge; tubular body but body wall is thicker and more complex canals
Leuconoid sponges
form large colonial masses each member having own osculum, flagellated chambers that led to canals then to osculum
sessile
does not move
