  1. Filo Porifera EJERCICIO 7 113-120(EDITION 14TH) 109-119 (EDITION 15TH)

  2. Goals for today • Learn to recognized the Phylum Porifera from other animals • Learn the main ‘diagnostic’ characteristics • Learn about some sponges biology

  3. Porifera These are the simplest metazoans • Little or no tissue organization • Said to belong to the cellular level of organization. • No organs, no systems, no mouth, or digestive tract, only rudimentary nervous integrations. • No germ layers (so neither diplo or triploblastic) • Some have symmetry some don’t Parazoa Porifera Cnidaria and Ctenophora Ecdysozoa Deuterostomia Lophotrochozoa Protostomia Bilateria Radiata Parazoa Eumetazoa Ancestral colonial choanoflagellate

  4. Porifera Main characteristics of sponges are: • Pores and canal systems (asconoid, siconoid, and leuconoid) • Flagellated sponge feeding cells= choanocytes. • Internal skeletons of spicules or organic fibers (spongin). • Internal cavity= spongocoel that opens to an osculum

  5. Porifera • Most are marine • Freshwater species are found in ponds and streams • Solitary or colonial • Adults are sessile

  6. Leuconoide Asconoide Siconoide Porifera: Classification Classes: Calcarea: • Spicules of calcium carbonate • Needle-shaped or 3-4 rayed spicules • Canal systems asconoid, siconoid, or leuconoid • All marine Hexactinellida: • 3D, six-rayed spicules • Siliceous spicules forming a network • Body often cylindrical or funnel-shaped. • Canal systems siconoid or leuconoid • All marine, and most deep water spp. Demospongiae: • Siliceous spicules (not six-rayed), spongin or both • Canal systems leuconoid • One family freshwater, most marine • Most sponges belong to this class

  7. Porifera: Your Tasks Exercise 7: • Phylum: Porifera (sponges) • Class Calcarea • Genus: Sycon (=Scypha, Grantia) Sycon has a syconoid canal system Marine

  8. Porifera: Sycon • Put a preserved Sycon in a petri dish for you to take a look at the shape, osculum, and spicules. There is also a model of Sycon, learn about its parts

  9. Porifera: Sycon 2. Take a slide from your box with (Sycon, Grantia, or Scypha) this is a cross section cut: identify the incurrent canal, spongocoel, and the radial canal Water enters the incurrent canals and passes through minute openings called? ____________ Check your book for answers!

  10. Porifera: Sycon 2. Take a slide from your box with (Sycon, Grantia, or Scypha) this is a cross section cut: identify the incurrent canal, spongocoel, and the radial canal What is the apopyle? Check your book!

  11. Porifera: Sycon 3. Take a slide from your box with (Sycon, Grantia, or Scypha) in a longitudianal cross section you would see the following specialized cells: what are their function?

  12. Porifera: Your Tasks Exercise 7: • Phylum: Porifera (sponges) • Class Calcarea • Genus: Leucosolenia Leucosolenia has an asconoide canal system

  13. Porifera: Leucosolenia • Try to find the osculum. This is a colonial species of tubular individuals in various stages of development osculum

  14. Porifera: Leucosolenia 2. Look in the micro a slide of Leucosolenia body and its spicules

  15. Porifera: Your Tasks Exercise 7: • Phylum: Porifera (sponges) • Class Hexactinellida • Genus: Euplectella

  16. Porifera: Your Tasks 1. Look at preserved specimens of Euplectella Some species of Euplectella have a commensal relationship with a shrimp species. A young male and female shrimp enter the central cavity and live there. As they grow they become too large to escape through the sieve-like covering of the osulum, and so spend their entire life inside the sponge.

  17. Porifera: Your Tasks Exercise 7: • Phylum: Porifera (sponges) • Class Demonspongiae • Gemmulas (asexual reproductive structures) Gemmules are asexual reproductive structures of freshwater sponges and some marine sponges of the class Demonspogiae What is their function in reproduction?
