Examination of a large number of electron micrographs revealed that the flagellated cells become the three principal cell types of juvenile sponges—that is, pinacocytes. scleroblasts. and choano- cytes. This conclusion is supported by the fact that these three cell types contain glutinous granules, which only the flagellated cells have in the free-swimming larva. This fact shows clearly that the flagellated cells of the coeloblastulae hold multipotency, althoi i:ive been specialized for swimming. Experimental Approaches in future research will indisputably demonstrate the developmental potency of the larval cells. The flagellated cells of coeloblastulae pass through the intermediate stage of dedifferentiation in a settled larva before they differentiate to the cells of a juvenile Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
