2. The gelatinous, largely acellular, inner tissue of sponges lying between the outer layer of cells (the pinacoderm) and the layer of cells lining the internal cavities (the choanoderm).
1970C. Lévi in W. G. Fry Biol. Porifera 353 Choanocytes and pinacocytes form, respectively, a choanoderm and a pinacoderm... The latter controls the interrelations between the mesohyl and the external medium. 1986Proc. Royal Soc.

Schwartz Five Kingdoms (ed. 3) iii. 214/1 Sponges are made of two cell layers; between the layers lies an acellular, gel layer called the mesohyl, which contains ameboid cells (amebocytes) and support spicules (skeletal needles) or spongin fibers. |
