Definition
sponges. sessile with porous bodies and choanocytes.
Term
spongocoel
Definition
central cavity in the sponge.
Term

Definition
gelatinous region that separates the two layers of cells of a sponge.
Term

Definition
cells named for their use of pseudopodia. wander through the mesohyl.
Term
hermaphrodites
Definition
each individual sponge functions as both male and female in sexual reproduction.

Definition
organisms that lack a body cavity

Definition
digestive tube with a separate mouth and anus.
Term
parthenogenesis
Definition
species that have females that produce more femals from unfertilized eggs.

coelomates
Definition
animals that are lined by the mesoderm.
Term
Phylum Nermertea

have a muscular foot, visceral mass, and a mantle.
Term
foot
Definition
used for movement
Term
visceral mass
Definition
containing most of the internal organs.
Term
mantle
Definition
fold of tissue that drapes over the visceral mass and secretes a shell.
Term
mantle cavity
Definition
houses the gills, anus, and excretory pores.
Term
radula
Definition
straplike rasping organ to scrape up food.
Term
trochophore
Definition
ciliated larva common to marine mollusks.

exoskeleton (external skelton)constructed from layers of protein and chitin.
Term
molting
Definition
shedding oldexoskeleton and secreting a larger one. used for arthropods to grow.
Term
open circulatory systems
Definition
fluid (hemolymph) is propelled by a heart hrough short arteries and then into spaces called sinuses surrounding thetissues and organs.
