SPO7: Invertebrate Animal Diversity I Flashcards
organisms resemble a pie where several cutting planes produce roughly identical pieces. Such an organism exhibits no left or right sides. They have a top and a bottom (dorsal and ventral surface) only.
RADIAL SYMMETRY
Organism has only one plane, called the sagittal plane, which divides it into roughly mirror image halves.
BILATERAL SYMMETRY
Body shape lacking in symmetry, such as sponges
ASYMMETRICAL
Body cavity arrangement:
Having no body cavity at all.
Acoelomate
(flatworms)
Body cavity arrangements:
Having a body cavity lined in part by tissue derived from mesoderm, but also by tissue derived from endoderm
Pseudocoelomate
Body cavity arrangements:
Have a true coelem (cavity), completley lined by tissue derived from the mesoderm.
COELOMATE
Circulatory system lacking veins to draw blood back into the heart.
