Number of Body Layers
Ectoderm - outer skin
Endoderm - inner skin
Mesoderm - middle skin
Symmetry
Radial symmetry - more than one plane of symmetry
Bilateral symmetry- has one plane of symmetry
Asymmetrical- no plane of symmetry
Internal Body Cavity
coelom - fluid filled body cavity
coelomates - organisms with a true coelom
Pseudocoelomates - less complex organisms with an unlined fluid filled space
Acoelomate - animals without coelomate
Reproduction
External fertilization - gametes combine outside the body
Internal fertilization - gametes combine inside the female body
Invertebrates
Lack a back bone
Vertebrates
Have a back bone
Phylum Porifera
marine sometimes freshwater
acoelomate
asymmetrical
sessile as adults
reproduce sexually and asexually
Phylum Cindaria
fresh water and marine
