with choanocytes, cells with whip-like flagella.: 29  However, a few carnivorous sponges have lost these water flow systems and the choanocytes.: 39 ...

lack true tissues. They have two cell layers: the pinacoderm and the choanocyte layer. The pinacoderm layer is the epidermal layer that consists of pinacocyte...

structure. Regardless of body plan or class, the spongocoel is lined with choanocytes, which have flagella that push water through the spongocoel, creating...

distinguished from the rather similar Sycon raphanus by the fact that the choanocyte chambers are not fused but are free from each other. Sycon ciliatum is...

myxogastrids Opisthokonta: most metazoans (male gametes, epithelia and choanocytes), chytrid fungi (zoospores and gametes) Excavata: some acrasids (Pocheina...

based on an increasingly complex skeletal system and compartmentalized choanocytes. A few sources (such as the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, 2004)...

amoebocytes as well as other sponge cells including the phylum specific choanocyte. These cells move within the walls of a sponge and form spicules. Tschinkel;...

and some morphological characteristics, like the common presence of choanocytes, now unanimously support a common origin. Traditionally, eumetazoans...

choanoflagellates, collared flagellates whose cell morphology is similar to the choanocyte cells of certain sponges. Molecular studies place animals in a supergroup...

Carboniferous, Nevada. Spermatocytes develop from the transformation of choanocytes and oocytes arise from archeocytes. Repeated cleavage of the zygote egg...

plankton, with an osculum as the opening which water leaves through, and choanocytes trap food particles. This species is frequently colonized by Umimayanthus...

water is subsequently circulated through the sponge by cells called choanocytes which have hair-like structures that move the water through the sponge...

temporary colonies from a free-living unicellular stage. Sponges have choanocytes, cells that resemble single-celled choanoflagellates, providing an indication...

sponge, supported on the choanoskeleton, the structure that contains the choanocytes. Choanoderm Boury-Esnault, Nicole; De Vos, Louis; Donadey, Claude; Vacelet...

found either in specialized cells of multicellular organisms (e.g., the choanocytes of sponges, or the ciliated epithelia of metazoans), as in ciliates and...

to the smooth, slightly slimy surface. This sponge has long tubular, choanocyte chambers, which are sometimes branched, and no spicules. The oscula are...

choanoderm is a type of cell layer composed of flagellated collar cells, or choanocytes, found in sponges. The sponge body is mostly a connective tissue; the...

Trichoplax adhaerens evolved by reduction of the collars in the collar cells (choanocytes) of sponges as the hypothesized ancestors of the Placozoa abandoned a...

organelles ("organs" within cells) and other substances. Instead of choanocytes, these bridges have further syncytia, known as choanosyncytia, which...

recorded the morphological similarities of choanoflagellates and sponge choanocytes and proposed the possibility of a close relationship as early as 1841...

entering the cytosol where it would damage actin. After production in the choanocytes, the latrunculin is transferred via the archeocytes to the vulnerable...

in several types of cells in sponges (amoebocytes, pinacocytes, and choanocytes). The number of contractile vacuoles per cell varies, depending on the...

resembles Sycon ciliatum but can be distinguished by the fact that the choanocyte chambers are fused. Sycon raphanus is found along the western fringes...

Choanoflagellata. The kinetid structure of Ministeria is similar to that of the choanocytes of the most deep-branching sponges, differing essentially from the kinetid...

Australia. Species have a simple tubular body with a large atrium, and choanocyte chambers which are either elongated, spherical or both. The following...

Members of the family are characterised by having long tubular, branched choanocyte chambers; they have no spicules which makes it difficult to determine...
