Sponge Anatomy
Sponges are quite probably the most ancient animal alive on the planet today.
Due to their incredible age sponges are very primitive, having cells which are not organized into specialized tissues or organs the way many other, more evolved animals do.

How Do Sponges Filter Water?
Sponges are filter feeders. This means that they take water in through a series of canals into their central cavity where food is removed from the water.
Sponges have two different types of pores around their body. The first are the smaller
pores known as the ostia. These are the incurrent pores.

Sponge Anatomy:Sponge Cells
Sponges have three main different types of cells which make up their bodies.
The epidermis or “skin” of the sponge is made of cells which can synthesize collagen, known as pinacocytes.

Sponge Anatomy:Sponge Cells
The canals throughout the sponge are lined with cells called choanocytes or collar cells.
These collar cells have a flagellum for helping the water move through the canals and a collar for trapping food particles ingested by the cell body. The are also responsible for keeping the water flowing through the sponge at all times.

Sponge Anatomy:Sponge Cells
The third type of sponge cell is the amoebocyte.
The amoebocytes function as a mobile “stomachs,” bringing food throughout the sponge. They are also responsible for building part of the sponges skeleton.

Sponge Anatomy:How Do Sponges Make Their Skeletons?
A sponges skeleton is made of two different materials, spongin and spicules. Spongin is the softer, porous material that we usually associate with sponges. This is
the substance used to make our everyday sponges.

Sponge Anatomy:How Do Sponges Make Their Skeletons?
The other material which makes up the skeletons of sponges are spicules.
Spicules are thin and spiny shards of either calcium carbonate (CaCO3) or silicon dioxide (SiO2).
The spicules are made by the amoebocytes and come in many different shapes and sizes. They interlock to form beautiful and delicate skeletons. Spicules can actually be used to identify different species of sponge.

Sponge Reproduction
Sponges can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
Sexual Reproduction During sexual reproduction the choanocytes
actually turn in the gametes (the sex cells) and leave the sponge.
Most sponges produce both male and female gametes meaning that they are hermaphroditic.
Release of gametes into the water is known as spawning.

Sponge Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction Asexual reproduction occurs when a branch or
bud breaks off the “parent” sponge and grows into a separate identical sponge.
Sponges are able to reproduce in this way because they are able to regenerate any or all of their bodies.
