Canal system in Sponges ZOOA-SEM-1-CC-1-NON-CHORDATES By Ranita Bhattacharya Department of Zoology, VJRC
(d) Apopyle: one of the openings by which the water passes out of a radial canal or flagellated chamber of a sponge. (e) Flagellated chamber: one of the outpouchings of the wall of the central cavity of a sponge that is lined with choanocytes and connects with incurrent canals through prosopyles. (F) Spongocoel: the internal cavity of a sponge discharging by way of the osculum.
