distinguished from the rather similar Sycon raphanus by the fact that the choanocyte chambers are not fused but are free from each other. Sycon ciliatum is...

structure. Regardless of body plan or class, the spongocoel is lined with choanocytes, which have flagella that push water through the spongocoel, creating...

amoebocytes as well as other sponge cells including the phylum specific choanocyte. These cells move within the walls of a sponge and form spicules. Tschinkel;...

water is subsequently circulated through the sponge by cells called choanocytes which have hair-like structures that move the water through the sponge...
