radial symmetry
Definition

body plan in which any number of imaginary planes drawn through the center of the body could divide it into equal halves

Term

bilateral symmetry

Definition

 body plan in which a single imaginary

line can divide the body into left and right sides that are

mirror images of each other

Term

endoderm

innermost germ layer; develops into the linings ofthe digestive tract and much of the respiratory system
Term

mesoderm

Definition

middle germ layer; develops into muscles,

and much of the circulatory, reproductive, and excretory

systems

Term

ectoderm

Definition
outermost germ layer; produces sense organs,nerves, and outer layer of skin

pseudocoelom

Definition
body cavity that is only partially lined withmesoderm
Term
zygote
Definition
 fertilized egg

blastula

Definition

hollow ball of cells that develops when a zygote

undergoes a series of cell divisions

Term

protostome

Definition
an animal whose mouth is formed from the blastopore
Term

deuterostome

group of animals in which the blastopore

becomes an anus, and the mouth is formed from the second

opening that develops
