body_plan
Ctenophora=comb jelly. Some flatworms (Planaria) are acoela.
triploblastic
Archenteron surrounded by endoderm; coelom by mesoderm. Tube: mouth + anus.
Left is protostome.
coelom
Pneumatic air-filled tires absorb shock. Mesoderm 2 layers.
acoelomate
Planarians are acoelomates; most Platyhelminthes are
Lophotrochozoa.
protostome
Spiral: small cells in between larger cells at 8-cell stage: edges overlap.
deuterostome
Coelom <- folding of archenteron (endo).

- Calcarea sponges:
spicules composed of calcium carbonate; Silicarea:
- Chaetopterus - Class Polychaeta
(Annelida) lives in mud flats in a leathery, open-ended U-shaped tube.
- germ: earliest form of an organism: seed, from gen.
- determinate: rigidly casts (“determines”) the developmental fate of each embryonic cell very early.
- Echinodermata:
evolutionary origins of five-fold symmetry remain obscure.
Larvae are plesiomorphically (primitive character) bilaterally symmetrical
- Lophophore: crown of ciliated tentacles that function in feeding. See Bryozoa video.
- Entero: intestine; schizo: split, cleavage
