Major tissue types
Ectoderm (outer)
Mesoderm (middle)
Endoderm (inner)
Diploblastic Body
Body with two tissue types: Endodermic and ectodermic tissues
Triploblastic body
Body that contains 3 tissue types: endodermic, mesodermic and ectoermic tissues
Cell cleavage
patterns of cells in early embryos
Spiral vs Radial cleavage
spiral cleavage
: Asymmetrical and determinate cells
radial cleavage
: Symmetrical and indeterminate cells
Ceolom
fluid filled sac in mesoderm that keeps organs intact
Coelomate vs aceolomate
Coelomate
: contains ceolom and organisms have two body openings (1 intake and 1 outtake)
Aceolomate
: no ceolom and organisms have one body opening (1 for intake and outtake)
counter current flow
used blood flows opposite of new blood flow. Maximizes oxygen transfer
Patterns of Coelom Formation
Schizochoely
: mesoderm splits up to form coelom
Enterocoely
: archenteron folds to form coelom
hermaphroditic

hydrostatic skeleton
layers of circular and longitudinal muscles, together with the water in the gastrovascular cavity, that enable movement
hemocoel
A cavity or series of spaces between the organs of organisms with open circulatory systems
bi-lateral symmetry
symmetry at the left and right side
concurrent flow
old and new blood flowing in the same direction
chitin
