colonial theory of animal origins
animals evolved from colonial protist
invertebrate
no back bone
vertbrate
with back bone
bilateral symmetry
having right and left halves with similar parts, and a front and back that differ
having parts arranged around a central axis, like spokes around a wheel
radial symmetry
a body cavity completely lined by tissue derived from mesoderm
coelom
complete digestive tract
tubular gut
gastrovascular cavity
sac-like gut
tissue
one or more cells organized in a specific pattern and that carry out a particular task
aquatic animals with hollow, asymmetrical body
Sponges

Cnidarians
hermaphrodite
an individual that produces both eggs and sperm
larva
free living, sexually immature form in an animal life cycle
like a sea anemone, is tubular, and one end usually attaches to a surface
polyp
flat bodied and do not have a body cavity
flat worms
segmented worms with a coelom, a complete digestive system and a closed circulatory system
annelids
has a small coelom and a soft, unsegmented body
mullusk
bivalve
mollusk with a hinged two-part shell
predatory mollusk with a closed circulatory system; moves about by jet propulsion
cephalopod
radula
tonguelike organ of many mollusk
of some arthropods, sensory structure on the head that detects touch and odors
antenna
invertebrate with jointed legs and a hardened exoskeleton that is periodically molted
arthropod
compound eye
eye that consist of many individual units, each with its own lens
exoskelton
external skeleton
metamorphosis
dramatic remodeling of body form during the transition from larva to adult
