it would be pores
The body of a sponge is covered in tiny openings called pores. These pores allow water to flow in and out of the sponge, which helps the sponge filter out food particles and oxygen from the surrounding water.
The internal surfaces such as inside blood vessels and lymph nodes are covered by endothelium and the external surfaces are covered by epithelium. "Epithelial tissues line the cavities and surfaces of structures throughout the body, and also form many glands." (Wikipedia)
The common house fly has millions of cells in its entire body. It is amazing how such a small creature has so many cells.
Sponges are very interesting organisms. They are made of either spiny filaments called spicules or spongin, which is soft. To eat, they pull in water from around them and take out the nutrients, then send the water back out. That's why they have so many holes and why people use them for cleaning; they hold so much water. They don't have any organs, so the nutrients are carried to different parts of the body by amebocites, which are special cells that travel all around the sponge's body, depositing nutrients where they are needed.

There is no part of one human body that would stretch around the world. Many people believe that the small intestines will, but it won't.

He was covered in many eyes. i believe it was a total of 100 eyes all over his body.
There are many small glands in the body. Perhaps you are thinking of pituitary?
There are no rules, use whatever you find easiest. Most people use synthetic sponges for cleaning tasks. Washing the body may be done with either a synthetic or a natural sponge. A sponge with a scourer attached is useful for many jobs including dish washing.
No. A sponge is asymmetrical, because it lacks any organised body plan. Animals with radial body symmetry display a regular arrangement of body parts around a central axis, usually in a circular pattern. jellyfish, for example, have radial body symmetry.
a sponge has zero eyes thats all I know!
The body of a sponge is a collection of a few different types of cells loosely arranged in a gelatinous matrix called a 'mesohyl', mesoglea or mesenchyme. This mesohyl is the connective tissue of a sponge body and it is supported by the skeletal elements. The skeletal elements of sponges are variable and important in taxonomy. Throughout this body run canals through which water flows, there is considerable variation in the complexity of these canals. The canals have openings to the outside which are called pores, where the water enters the sponge system these pores are usually small and are called 'ostia' and where the water leaves the sponge system the pores are larger, often singular and are called 'oscula' (singular osculum). Many if not most of these canals are lined with special flagellated cells called 'choanocytes'. These choanocytes keep the water flowing through the canals in the correct direction by beating their flagellum, they are also important in trapping food items.
I personally, dont use a sponge beacuse it gets dirty too much, i just mist the crabitat until it have enough humidity. You dont have to change the sponge, if it gets really dirty, boil it in distilled water and place it back in. You need to change the hermie sponge when it becomes so small you cant really use it.
yes. There are many including th oklawa and the carolina sponge .
