Defining Animals
3. The Acoelomate-Coelomate
Split
B. Pseudocoelomates -
animals in which the body
cavity is not completely lined
with mesodermal tissue
• The body cavity is called a
pseudocoelom
4. The Protostome-
Deuterstome Split
Coelomates, can be
divided into 2 distinct
groups: protostomes and
deuterostomes.
They are distinguished
based upon fundamental
differences in early
development, including
cleavage, fate of the
blastopore, and coelom
formation
4. The Protostome-
Deuterstome Split con’t
A. Cleavage
Protostomes - Spiral,
determinate cleavage
Deuterostomes - Radial,
indeterminate cleavage
4. The Protostome-Deuterstome Split
cont.
C. Coelom Formation
• Protostomes - coelom
formation is called
schizocoelous
development; coelom forms
by splitting of mesoderm
• Deuterostomes - coelom
formation is called
enterocoelous
development; coelom forms
as outpockets from the
endoderm
