It may be noted here that the common sponge (scientific name Spongia tosta) is basically an animal which is not capable of physical mobility by itself. The sole movement noticed in this animal seems to be its capability to propel water through the canals present in its body.
The walls of sponge possess numerous canals that soak up nutrients when any substance passes from one end of the animal to another. The walls of canals in a sponge's body are built with cells which possess minuscule feather-like swellings resembling whips that have the aptitude to push the water through the animal's body.
Usually, the waters in Mediterranean region close to Greece and Syria are the places from where Spongia Tosta is collected. Following the collection of sponge, it is cleaned meticulously in order to get rid of sand and subsequently toasted in a drum made of any metal. Once it is dried out, sponge is crushed to obtain a powdered form of the substance.
