The aquiferous tubes specified above open into this canal.

Dissolved oxygen is absorbed through the aquiferous system.

Dagger-shaped small tetractines (pugioles) are frequently the sole skeleton of the exhalant aquiferous system.

Typical sponges are suspension feeders, filtering bacteria and microscopic organisms from the surrounding water through their aquiferous system.

Glenville is bounded to the north by the Glen River Valley, an aquiferous geological formation produced by a receding glacier during the last Ice Age.

Murrayonida are distinguished from other Calcinea by having a reinforced skeleton; like another line of Calcinea, the Leucettidae, but unlike most other Calcinea, the Murrayonida sponges also have a cortex covering the cormus and a leuconoid aquiferous system.
