Choanocyte
Choanocytes (also known as "collar cells") are cells that line the interior body walls of sponges that contain a central flagellum surrounded by a collar of microvilli. The flagellum beats regularly, creating a water flow across the microvilli which can then filter nutrients and other food from the water.
