The Sponge Pump: The Role of Current Induced Flow in the Design of the Sponge Body Plan
Sponges are suspension feeders that use flagellated collar-cells (choanocytes) to actively filter a volume of water equivalent to many times their body volume each hour. Flow through sponges is thought to be enhanced by ambient current, which induces a pressure gradient across the sponge wall, but t...
