Why Symmetry?
In general, the most primitive
organisms are asymmetric, slightly
more advanced are radially
symmetric, and the most advanced
are bilaterally symmetric
Whats the significance of symmetry?
Indicator of health
Serves the organisms function
Sometimes redundancy of parts
Sometimes directed nervous
response
The Animal Family Tree
The most primitive animals are conglomerations of cells
with little specialization and no true tissues
Slightly more advanced animals have cells organized into
distinct tissues, but no organ systems or body cavity
Diploblastic organisms have only 2 tissue layers (cnidarians
and ctenophorans)
Triploblastic organisms have 3 tissue layers (bilaterally
symmetric organisms)
The next group has organ systems, but still no body
cavity (acoelomates)
Still more advanced organisms develop a body cavity
which is unlined (pseudocoelomates)
The most advanced organisms develop a body cavity
lined in mesoderm (coelomates)
In protostomes, coelom forms in mesoderm at the sides of
the archenteron (primordial digestive tube)
In deuterostomes, coelom forms in the archenteron wall
Figure 32-6
Acoelomates have no enclosed body cavity.

Family Tree Continued
The coelomates are further divided
into two groups:
Protostomes-proto=first,
stome=mouth, form from spiral
cleavage
Deuterostomes-deutero=second,
stome=mouth, form from radial
cleavage
Groups are based on the fate of the
Blastopore during gastrulation

About Animal Classification
As before, new molecular data continues to change
our views on how animals are grouped into phyla.
The bilaterally symmetric animals are particularly
messy to classify
Our understanding of Hox genes has changed our
views on animal embryology
There are some points of agreement with respect to
classification:
All animals share a common ancestor
Sponges are the base of the animals family tree
Eumetazoa is a clade of animals with true tissues
(cnidaria and ctenophora, formerly coelenterata)
Most animal phyla belong to the Bilateria clade
Chordates and some other phyla belong to the clade
Deuterostomia
Major Invertebrate Phyla
Sponges were formerly called Porifera and are
organisms that have the following characteristics:
Suspension feeding (capturing food from the water
as it travels through the body
Pores on the outer surface pull in water and send it
out through the spongocoel and its main opening,
the osculum
All are hermaphroditic
Have a few specialized cells but no tissues:
Choanocytes-collar cells that are flagellated for feeding
Amoebocytes-mobile cells that have pseudopods and
carry nutrients around the body
These are now split into 2 phyla:
Calcarea
Silicea
Figure 32-26
Pseudoceratina crassa
Eumetazoans
This is a clade, consisting of 2 major phyla of diploblastic
organisms:
Cnidaria (Includes: jellyfish, hydra, sea anemones, etc)
Radially symmetrical
Tissue layers (2 distinct-epidermis, gastrodermis)-mesoglea in
between (jelly)
2 forms-medusa (mouth down, free-swimming), and polyp (mouth
up, sessile)
Stinging nematocysts for defense and predation (inside the
cnidocytes)
1st organisms with a nervous system (primitive-nerve net, no
central control)
No matter which shape the organism takes, its internal cavity is the
gastrovascular cavity
Food enters the mouth and broken down. Nutrients from the food
are absorbed by the surrounding cells and wastes are expelled from
the mouth (2-way digestive tract)
Ctenophora (Comb Jellies)
Look like jellyfish, but move via the 8 rows of cilia on their bodies
No cnidocytes/nematocysts, instead use colloblast (specialized
mucous cells) secretions to catch and hold onto prey
Actually have a nervous control structure called the Apical Organ
at one end of the body

Also called the flatworms b/c they have no

First organisms with bilateral symmetry and
cephalization (anterior and posterior end)
Organisms with a two-way digestive tract or
none at all
No need for lungs or gills because of the flat
body plan (O2 exchange via diffusion)
Water-living or parasitic
Mostly vermiform (vermi=worm)

Turbellarians are free living. Cestodes are endoparasitic. Trematodes are endoparasitic.
Pseudoceros ferrugineus Taenia species Dicrocoelium dendriticum
Rotifers
Small, freshwater organisms with a ciliated
crown
Have an alimentary canal with 1-way
digestion
Some species can reproduce via
parthenogenesis and are all female, others
produce 2 types of eggs and are
parthenogenesis, while others have males
only for the purpose of reproduction

Vermiform
Bilaterally symmetric
Head (prostomium) and an anus-bearing terminal portion

Hydrostatic skeleton in each segment
Septa cause internal segmentation, but are traversed by the
gut and nerves
