Coeloms And Pseudocoeloms Acoelomate animals are called acoelomates and they have no true body cavity. The acoelomate phyla are Placozoa , Porifera , Cnidaria , Ctenophora http://www.earthlife.net/inverts/coelom.html
Extractions: Throughout these invertebrate pages you will find reference to animals as being Coelomate, Pseudocoelomate and Acoelomate. All these terms, and others explained below are to do with the nature of the body cavity of the animal. Simple animals do not have a body cavity but higher animals like mammals do. In mammals the body cavity is called a Coelom and it is the area that contains all heart and lungs as well as the gut which is a cavity in its own rite. The words used to define different body cavities relate to how the cavity comes into being during the development of the embryo as well as to its final observable structure. Below university level education it is not terribly important to understand the differences but I have put these explanations up separately from the glossary to make it easier to use. Also because of the length of this explanation I am only typing it out once here rather than each time I have used such a term. Pseudocoelomate animals have a pseudocoelom. They have a body cavity but it is not lined with mesodermal cells. It exists between the mesoderm and the endoderm that makes up the walls of the gut. It does not have supportive mesodermal mesenteries. The pseudocoelomate phyla are Gastrotricha, Rotifera, Nematoda, Nematomorpha, Kinorhyncha, Loricifera, Acanthocephala.

Extractions: Enter your search terms Web www.bumblebee.org Submit search form The Kingdom Animalia is divided into Phyla (see below), and is believed to have evolved from single-celled protist ancestors about 1000 million years ago. There are generally thought to be about 35 extant Phyla, but this number varies according to different workers. Taking into account fossil evidence and the length of time assumed necessary for evolution; it is probable that most of the Phyla were in existence by the Cambrian . Two of these Phyla, the Porifera and the Placozoa (see below right), are sufficiently different from the others to be grouped apart, dividing the Kingdom into two Sub-kingdoms; the Sub-kingdom Parazoa containing the Porifera and the Placozoa, and the Sub-kingdom Eumetazoa containing all the other Phyla. CHARACTERISTICS Multicellular, so different cells can specialise.
Science/AAAS | Science Magazine: Sign In According to the traditional intellectual bias for increasing complexity in evolution, the acoelomates were seen as emerging at the base of the bilaterian http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/280/5362/397?ijkey=1e2bdf8bb45658ccb0

Extractions: Biology 203 Lab Simple Animals Useful Reading Symmetry general, structured body plan. See radial and bilateral symmetry below. Coelom fluid-filled body cavity surrounded by mesoderm-derived tissue. Diploblastic having only two layers of cells during development: the endoderm and ectoderm. Triploblastic having three layers of cells during development: the endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm. Heterotroph an organism which gets its energy by ingesting food. Hermaphrodite an individual which can produce both eggs and sperm. Classification In Kingdom Animalia, all taxa are eukaryotic and lack cell walls, multicellular, and generally heterotrophic. Evolutionary relationships among animals have been examined using fossil evidence, anatomy, development, and genetics. You should familiarize yourself with the major anatomical and developmental differences that define animal phyla. In this section, we will look at the simplest and earliest animals those which have the simplest body structure and tissue organization. The traditional phylogeny is shown below. It is based on the following anatomical / developmental traits:
Extractions: INTRODUCTION The nature of the original mesodermal cells in triploblasts is also emerging from studies of the cytology and embryology of lower bilaterians. For example, Ladurner and Rieger (2000) and Rieger and Ladurner (2001) have shown how muscle cells arise in embryos of acoels and other lower worms and become positioned between ecto- and endoderm. Cell-lineage studies of ctenophores (Martindale and Henry, 1999; Henry and Martindale, 2001), polyclad flatworms (Boyer et al., 1996, 1998), nemertines (Henry and Martindale, 1998) and acoelomorph flatworms (Henry et al., 2000) reveal important distinctions between mesodermal cells arising from ectoderm and those from endoderm. And studies of the arrangement of body-wall muscles in platyhelminths (Tyler and Rieger, 1999; Tyler, 2001; Hooge, 2001) and their embryonic development (Ladurner and Rieger, 2000) show a spectrum of function and position that provide models for the ancestral bilaterian.

Extractions: This honor was introduced in 2006, but the patch for it is not yet available. Please do not request it from Advent Source until after December 2007. The Monogenea, Trematoda, and Cestoda are the three major classes of parasitic flatworms, though the Turbellaria used to be considered a part of this class* Monogeneans are largely ectoparasites on vertebrates like fishes; trematodes are the flukes, most of which live inside the organs of a variety of vertebrates as adults; and cestodes are the tapeworms, living in the intestines of a variety of vertebrates as adults (this is why your pets get annual shotsâso that they donât experience cestodes or trematodesâotherwise, pets could die as a result of an infestation of these worms.) All Platyhelminthes are hermaphroditic in nature, meaning they can fertilize themselves.

For example, you can ask yourself, "What does aquaferous system mean and what does it have to do with Porifera? How does it compare to systems in other animals?" Try writing an answer without looking at the book or you r notes, then check yourself by checking with the text, the lab manual, or you notes. This is not intended to be a complete list, nor are the terms listed under ALL of the headings to which they apply. Rather, this is a GUIDE to help you organize your studies and test yourself.

Body Cavity - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia Acoelomate animals, like flatworms, have no body cavity at all. Therefore, acoelomate organs are not protected from crushing forces applied to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_cavity
Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Picture of Human body cavities - dorsal body cavity to the left and ventral body cavity to the right. By the broadest definition, a body cavity is any fluid filled space in a multicellular organism . However, the term usually refers to the space, located between an animal âs outer covering ( epidermis ) and the outer lining of the gut cavity, where internal organs develop. "The body cavity" of human body cavities normally refers to the ventral body cavity , because it is by far the largest one in area. The type of body cavity places an organism into one of these three groups: Coelomates (also known as eucoelomates"true coelom") have a fluid filled body cavity called a coelom pronounced /ËsiËlÉm/ ) with a complete lining called peritoneum derived from mesoderm (one of the three primary tissue layers ). The complete mesoderm lining allows organs to be attached to each other so that they can be suspended in a particular order while still being able to move freely within the cavity. Most bilateral animals, including all the vertebrates , are coelomates.
