Class Homoscleromorpha - spicules may be absent, small and simple
Term
Scypha is what type of sponge?
Definition
syconoid sponge
Term
Scypha larvae is called
Definition
amphiblastula larvae
Term
Sponge cell types
Definition
1. choanocytes: "collar cells", flagellated, line radial canals
2. pinacocytes: covering cells lining incurrent canals and outer surface
3. amoebocytes: in mesohyl between pinacocytes and choanocytes
Term
Scypha reproduction
Definition
Sexual: monoecious, produce sperm and eggs in mesohyl, develop into amphiblastula larvae

Asexual: budding off new individuals from their base, some by means of gemmules
Term
Types of sponge spicules
Definition
1. short monaxons: short and pointed at both ends
2. long monaxons: long and pointed
3. triradiates: y-shaped with three prongs
4. polyaxons: T-shaped
Term
Types of sponge structure
Definition
1. Asconoids: simplest canal system, water enters through dermal pores into large spongocoel lined with choanocytes, water exits via osculum

2. Syconoids: flagellated canals, choanocytes line radial canals which empty into spongocoel, water exits via the osculum

3. Leuconoids: flagellated chambers, most complex level of organization, water flows in incurrent, out excurrent that converge to form osculum
