Sponge Anatomy
One of the features of porifera
Is their complete simplicity
No organs or skeleton
Of primitive- the epitome
Sponge
anatomy is, beyond any incredulity, one of the most simplistic
systems within the natural world. However, it serves as the
basis for many systems within more advanced organisms. In addition,
it implements the features of even simpler organisms to create
a structure that has been successful for the past 500 million
years! Only a few systems have been known to work that long!
To best analyze this system, the study will be divided into
four parts. One will introduce the outer layer, its parts, and
functions. Another section will include information about the
interior layer of a sponge. Also, there will be information
about the different grades of sponges. The fourth will grant
insight towards the implementation and composition of spicules.
By reading all of these sections, it is hoped that one will
better comprehend the remainder of this website.
