|
3 body plans of symmetry for animals: |
asymmetry, radial and bilateral
|
|
asymmetry: |
no shape; irregular structure; permanently attached to a surface (sessile) ex. sponge |
|
radial symmetry: |
symmetrical arrangement of radiating parts around a central point; no left or right halves; top (dorsal) and bottom (ventral) surface ex. sea star |
|
bilateral symmetry: |
divides into equal right and left tabs head-anterior tail-posterior back-dorsal belly-ventral ex. human |
|
organisms with asymmetry... |
sessile, "filter feeders" ; no movement |
|
organisms with radial symmetry... |
sedentary or passively drifting |
|
organisms with bilateral symmetry... |
brain; sense organs; mouth on head; mobile; better movement and getting food. |
|
some animals have a body cavity, or a |
coelom |
|
coelom: |
fluid filled space between digestive tract and outer body wall. -allows space for internal organs |

|
acoelomate: |
solid compact body; no cavity; organs and tissues; one opening in digestive tract ex. ; flatworm |
|
pseudocoelomate; |
"false cavity" ; fluid filled cavity between endoderm and mesoderm; mesoderm only partly lines cavity, so organs only loosely are held in place; allows better movement, ex. roundworm |
|
coelomate: |
"true cavity"; cavity within the mesoderm that is completely lined; space for complex organs and better muscle function ex. earthworm |
|
protostomes: |
gastrula opening becomes mouth of organism. |
|
deuterostomes: |
gastrula becomes anus of organism |

vertebrate chordates. features: |
bilateral symmetry, coelomates, endoskeleton (internal), closed circulatory system (blood in vessels), complex nervous system (brain+spinal chord), efficient respiratory system |
