osculum - a large opening in a sponge through which water flows out of the sponge. Sponges may have more than one oscula.
Sponges have collar cells, osculum, and spicules.

Sponges have collar cells, osculum, and spicules.
An animal with collar cells, an osculum, and spicules is likely a sponge. Sponges are simple aquatic animals that filter feed using collar cells and have a central opening called an osculum through which water exits their bodies. Spicules are tiny, hard structures that provide support and structure to the sponge's body.
ostia is the inlet into the sponge and osculum is the outlet through which the entered water etc. moves out
The osculum is an excretory structure in the living sponge, a large opening to the outside through which the current of water exits after passing through the spongocoel. Wastes diffuse into the water and the water exits through the osculum at a velocity of nearly 8.4 cm/second, carrying away with it the sponge's wastes. The size of the osculum is regulated by the myocyte. Its size, in turn, determines the amount of water flowing through the sponge.

Top opening of a sponge is called osculum . it is used to expel water out .
it is a canal system found in sponges(porifera phylum). its example is Leucon. the intresting fact is that this is the only water canal system present in sponges which do not have SPONGOCOEL. in this water moves inside through ostiathen to incurrent canal then prosodi then flagellate cells and then to apodi then to excurrent canal and den to osculum then out..!!

Sponges are simple, multicellular animals that lack true tissues and organs. They obtain nutrients by filtering small particles from the water through specialized cells called choanocytes. Sponges have a porous body with a system of canals and chambers for water circulation.
