Important terms used in sponges/Porifera

1. Porifera - Porifera is a multicellular organism composed of a group of cells but not as a tissue or organ level of organization.
2. Canal System - It is a type of body system in sponges as like reproductive system, respiratory system in humans, which helps in the all necessary function of the sponges as respiration, reproduction, nutrition, Excretion etc..
3. Ostia -  It is a dermal pore present outside of the body of sponge and helps in taking of water.
4. Osculum - Osculum is the biggest pore on the body which release water outside (excretion).
5. Incurrent pores - It is a pore that connects the Ostia with spogocoel (Asconoid).
6. Incurrent Canal - Incurrent Canal is the outer space present between  two adjacent foldings of body wall here water comes after the entering from Ostia in leuconoid type of songes.
7. Prosopyle - Prosopyle is a pore that connects Incurrent canal with the radial canal in syconoid type of sponges whereas in leuconoid type of sponges it connects incurrent canal with the Flagillated chamber.
8. Redial Canal - Redial canal is a canal present on the body wall of the sponge which helps to collect water and release them into the spongocoel through apopyle in syconoid type of sponges while in leuconoid type of sponges it release water into the exterior canal.
9. Apopyle - It a pore-like structure which connects the redial canal with spongocoel in syconoid type of sponges but in leuconoid type it connects radoal canal with the exterior canal.
10. Subdermal Spaces- The space present between the ectoderm and Incurrent canal.
