Q

bilateral symmetry?

A

left and right sides. they ALWAYS have a front (anterior) back (posterior) upper side (dorsal), and lower side (ventral)

17
Q

what side is your tummy on?

A

ventral

18
Q

what side is your back

A

dorsal

19
Q

what side is your face?

A

anterior

20
Q

what side is your anus?

A

posterior

21
Q

what is cephalization?

A

its where most of the sense organs are (nose, eyes) Almost ALWAYS on anterior side

22
Q

how does embryonic formation differ from animals in different clades?

A

1,. zygote (fertilized egg) 2. coelom ( most complex animals have this body cavity that has a stomach and digestive organs) vs. those that are a primitive jelly like layer (jelly fish)

23
Q

what are the different segmented types in different clades?

A
  1. Function- different segments have different functions ( 2 legs vs. 4 legs vs. no legs with a tail) 2. Repeated parts bilaterally- 2 eyes,, 2 ears, 2 arms, 2 lungs) on each side
