(December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> Choanocytes (also known as "collar cells") are cells that line the interior of asconoid, syconoid and leuconoid body type sponges that contain a central flagellum, or undulipodia, surrounded by a collar of microvilli which are connected by a thin membrane . They make up Choanoderm, a type of cell layer found in sponges . The cell has the closest resemblance to the choanoflagellates which are the closest related single celled protists to the animal kingdom (metazoans). The flagellae beat regularly, creating a water flow across the microvilli which can then filter nutrients from the water taken from the collar of the sponge . Food particles are then phagocytosed by the cell . </P> <P> Choanocytes are found dotting the surface of the spongocoel in asconoid sponges and the radial canals in syconoid sponges, but they comprise entirely the chambers in leuconoid sponges . </P>

Where are collar cells located and what are the two functions of these specialized cells
