  6. Class Calcarea

  7. Class Hexactinellida

  8. Class Demospongiae

  9. Cell types of sponges • Pinacocytes • Porocytes • Mesohyl (amoeboid cells) • Choanocytes • Spicules of calcium carbonate or silica • Spongin skeleton

  10. Body Types of Sponges • Ascon • Sycon • Leucon

  11. Reproduction • Monoecious • Do not self-fertilize • Amoeboid cells or choanocytes undergo meiosis to form sperm or egg cells • Sexual reproduction – forms larvae • Asexual reproduction – forms gemmules
