What is the function of epidermal cells in sponges?
The epidermal cells of sponges are responsible for cell adhesion and maintenance of their shape and structure. The epidermis is composed of pinacocytes (epidermal cells) which are flattened cells in the sponge's body wall.
What organisms are found in porifera?
Porifera are sea sponges. They have no symmetry (asymmetrical) and they are one of the most basic forms of life. They have a 2 cell layer wall made of collar cells, spicules, amoeba like cells, and a layer of epidermal like cells. The spicules and the amoeba like cells are in between the layer of collar cells and epidermal cells. Sponges also have pores throughout their structure. Porifera include freshwater sponges as well of marine varieties. Freshwater sponges are common although not obvious. Frequently they are green in color due to included algae.

Where do epidermal cells get their nutrients?
Epidermal cells receive nutrients and oxygen from the blood vessels in the dermis.
Are sponges unicellular?
If you're talking about kitchen sponges, they do not have cells. However, sea sponges have cells.
Do sponges have stinging cells?
No, most cnidarians have stinging cells, not sponges.
Does HIV attack epidermal cells?
HIV mainly attacks cells in the immune system. I'm not aware of a major impact on skin (epidermal) cells.
What cells line the ventricle of the brain?
Ependymal cells
What is an epidermal cell?
An epidermal cell is a cell that is part of the outer layer of an organism. For example, in humans, skin cells are epidermal. Leaves on plants have epidermal layers on the top and bottom of the leaf.
How do you examine leaf epidermal cell?
Leaf epidermal cells are examined by making peelings of epidermal cells from both sides. Normally these peelings are stained and examined under the compound microscope.
