Summary
Table of Contents

Sponges are among the simplest of animals, lacking true tissue and organs. The main cell types are the amoebocytes (which can differentiate into other cell types), choanocytes, and epithelial cells. Sponges are suspension feeders, and the beating of the choanocytes' flagella creates a current that brings in water and other material (potential food source) through the pores. The water then leaves via the osculum.
