During the development of the canal system in sponges, spongo cells, or spongocytes, play a crucial role in synthesizing and secreting spongin, the fibrous protein that forms the sponge's supportive skeleton. As the sponge matures, spongo cells can differentiate or transform into other cell types, contributing to the overall structure and function of the sponge. Ultimately, spongo cells may either remain active in producing spongin or undergo apoptosis as the sponge's architecture stabilizes. Their fate is integral to maintaining the sponge's integrity and adaptation to its aquatic environment.
The master apical file is the largest-sized file used during root canal treatment to shape the apical part of the canal. It helps in creating a smooth taper in the root canal preparation to facilitate proper cleaning and disinfection of the root canal system.
The opening in the abdominal wall through which the testes descend is called the inguinal canal. During fetal development, the testes move from their original position in the abdomen down through this canal into the scrotum. This process is crucial for proper testicular function and thermoregulation. The inguinal canal is also a common site for inguinal hernias.
A canal toe drain is a drainage system located at the base (toe) of a canal to collect and divert excess water away from the canal, preventing waterlogging and erosion of the canal banks. These drains help to manage water levels and protect the structural integrity of the canal.
The Grantia Canal System is called the "Sycon (syconoid) Canal System." This means that the canals from the sponges inside (excurrent canals) and those from the outside (incurrent canals) of its body wall end blindly, but are connected at right angles by openings called prosopyles. This type of canal system is intermediate in canal complexity. The canals are the pathways the water takes through the sponge.

The construction of the English canal system during the industrial revolution.
The canal routes in Ohio, particularly the Ohio and Erie Canal, officially opened in 1827. This canal system played a significant role in the state's economic development by facilitating transportation and trade. The completion of the canals helped connect Ohio to major markets and contributed to the westward expansion during the early 19th century.
The hyaloid canal in the human eye serves to provide a pathway for nourishment to the developing lens during fetal development.
The Upper Bari Doab Canal was constructed between 1889 and 1901 during British rule in India. It was designed to irrigate the area between the Ravi and Chenab rivers in the Punjab region, facilitating agricultural development. The canal remains an essential part of the irrigation system in the region today.
The Miami and Erie Canal connected the Great Miami River in the south to the Maumee River in the north. This canal facilitated trade and transportation in Ohio by linking the Ohio River system to Lake Erie. It played a crucial role in the development of the region during the 19th century.
The alimentary canal is part of the reproductive system in pigs. The canal is used to transfer the male gamete during reproduction.

The oldest canal in the world is believed to be the Grand Canal in China, constructed over 2,500 years ago during the Warring States period. It is an extensive waterway system that has been used for transportation, irrigation, and flood control.
