How does the sponge keep water flowing through its ostia and out through the osculum?

The sponge works like a chimney. Water rushes in from beneath through ostia and comes out ffrom osculum. This action is continuously controlled by wholly or partially closing the osculum and ostia and varying the beat of the flagella, and the pores may shut if there is a lot of sand in the water before it could block the system.


What is ostia and osculum?

Ostia and osculum are terms used in the context of sponges, which are simple aquatic animals. The ostium (plural: ostia) refers to the small openings on the surface of a sponge through which water enters, while the osculum (plural: oscula) is the larger opening at the top through which water exits. This water flow is essential for the sponge's feeding, respiration, and waste removal processes.
