A transverse section of a sponge (phylum Porifera) depicting the body wall with an external pinacoderm, incurrent ostia traversing porocytes, a gelatinous mesohyl extracellular matrix (ECM) containing skeletal spicules, and an internal choanoderm lining the central spongocoel. The dots indicate choanocyte cells that drive water flow via flagella for suspension feeding and particle capture. In hierarchical terms, specialized cells (pinacocytes, porocytes, choanocytes) form tissues within the invertebrate organism. The image pertains to invertebrate zoology and histology and illustrates the filtration apparatus.
