Sponges Have Body Cavity. sponges have a number of specialized cells that carry out distinct functions within the organism, but they do not have true tissues or. the body of the simplest sponges takes the shape of a cylinder with a large central cavity, the spongocoel. They draw water in through the pores located throughout their body wall into a central cavity. Primarily, their body consists of a thin sheet of cells over a frame. The body of a sponge is made up of a gelatinous matrix called the mesohyl. However, sponges exhibit a diversity of body forms, which vary in the size and. the shapes of their bodies are adapted for maximal efficiency of water flow through the central cavity, where nutrients are deposited, and leaves through a hole called the osculum. sponges are filter feeders. Many sponges have internal skeletons of spongin and/or spicules of calcium carbonate or silica. the body of the simplest sponges takes the shape of a cylinder with a large central cavity, the spongocoel. Sponges have a porous body with numerous small openings called ostia, which allow water to enter their internal cavity. Water enters the spongocoel from numerous pores in the body wall. Water flows out through a large opening called the osculum (figure \(\pageindex{2}\)). The central cavity is lined with collar cells which have a ring of tentacles that surround a flagellum.
