Cellular
Spongeshave what type of symmetry?
Asymmetrical
What are the four main classes of Porifera
Homoscleromorpha, Calcarea, Demsponglae, Hexactinlidia
Porifera special feature?
they have Spicules
What are the three body forms
Asconoid, Syconoid, Leuconoid
What is the most simple body form
Asconoid’s
Choanocytes is what
collar cells
Asconoid’s have flagellated…
Spongocoels
Has spongocoel NOT lined with choanocytes
Syconoids
Syconoids have flagellated…
Canals
Has no spongocoel
Leuconoids
The most complex body form and have flagellated..
Leuconoids
Organized in gelatinous extracellular matrix:
Mesohyl
What type of cell
ovoid cells that line canal systems and chambers
exposed end, a collar forming a filtering device
flagellar motion pulls water through filter
Choanocytes
Archeocytes are involved in what?
Nutrition
True epithelium is found where
cell layer boardering a free space, cell junctions, sits on a basement membrane of extracellular matrix.
- What coordinates contraction of bands of myocytes around opens- lack nervous system
- protective and contractile (myocytes)
Pinacocytes:
Sponges non-selectively consume food particles sized between …
0.1 μm and 50 μm
The smallest particles are taken into choanocytes by whereas Protein molecules may be taken in by
phagocytosis
pinocytosis
Can intracellular or Intercellular cells digest food
Intracellular
The process of being able to regenerate individuals from fragments
Somatic embryogenesis
Are Archaeacytes totipotent
Yes
