    The document defines key terms related to animal development and anatomy. It describes the three germ layers that form during blastula - the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. It also defines important developmental stages and body plans such as bilateral symmetry, cephalization, and the presence or absence of coeloms, circulatory systems, skeletons, and reproductive structures.

    Blastula: The stage of an embryo before gastrulation

    Ectoderm: The outermost of the three germ layers of an embryo that


    develops into the epidermis and epidermal tissues, the nervous system,
    external sense organs, and the mucous membranes lining the mouth and
    anus
    Endoderm: The innermost germ layer of the animal embryo; develops into
    the epithelium of the pharynx, respiratory tract, digestive tract, bladder, and
    urethra
    Mesoderm: In an embryo, the middle layer of cells that gives rise to muscles,
    blood, and various systems
    Body plan: An animal's shape, symmetry, and internal organization
    Asymmetrical: Irregular in shape; without symmetry
    Radial symmetry: A body plan in which the parts of an animal's body are
    organized in a circle around a central axis
    Bilateral symmetry: A condition in which two equal halves of a body mirror
    each other
    Cephalization: The concentration of nerve tissue and sensory organs at the
    anterior end of an organism
    Coelom: A body cavity that contains the internal organs
    Acoelomate: An animal that lacks a coelom, or body cavity
    Pseudocoelomate: An animal that has a pseudocoelom, or false body cavity
    Coelomate: An animal that has a body cavity in which the internal organs are
    located
    Phylogenetic tree: A branching diagram that shows how organisms are
    related through evolution
    Gastrovascular cavity: A cavity that serves both digestive and circulatory
    purposes in some cnidarians
    Respiration: The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between living cells
    and their environment; includes breathing and cellular respiration
    Gill: In mushrooms, a structure that is located on the underside of the cap
    and bears the spores; in aquatic animals, a respiratory structure that
    consists of many blood vessels surrounded by a membrane that allows for
    gas exchange
    Open circulatory system: A type of circulatory system in which the
    circulatory fluid is not contained entirely within vessels; a heart pumps fluid
    through vessels that empty into spaces called sinuses
    Closed circulatory system: A circulatory system in which the heart circulates
    blood through a network of vessels that form a closed loop; the blood does
    not leave the blood vessels, and materials diffuse across the walls of the
    vessels
    Hydrostatic skeleton: In many invertebrates, the cavity that is filled with
    water and that has a support function
    Exoskeleton: A hard, external, supporting structure that develops from the
    ectoderm
    Endoskeleton: An internal skeleton, such as the bony or cartilaginous
    skeleton of vertebrates
    Hermaphrodite: An organism that has both male and female reproductive
    organs
    External fertilization: The union of gametes outside the bodies of the
    parents, as in many fishes and amphibians
    Internal fertilization: Fertilization of an egg by sperm that occurs inside the
    body of a female
