Symmetry
Three types of symmetry in animal kingdom
Asymmetry
Radialsymmetry
Bilateral
No particular body shape (ex sponge)
Asymmetry
To identical halves (ex jellyfish)
Radialsymmetry
Definite right and left halves (ex humans)
Bilateral Symmetry
First embryonic opening becomes the mouth
Protostomes
Second embryonic opening becomes the mouth (ex butt forms first)
Deuterostomes
Simplest animal
Sponges
Lack true tissues
Sponge
Sac like bodies are perforated by many pores
Sponges
Beating of flagella produces water currents that flow through pores and through the central cavity and out
Osculum

Sessile filter feeder
Tubular animals that most often reside in shallow waters
