The BILATERIA
(Protostomes & Deuterostomes)
--------------- Fri. Jan. 30 (cont.) -------------
- 1) The Bilateria includes all remaining animal phyla
- 2) In soft-bodied forms, circular (outer) & longitudinal (inner) body wall muscles act antagonistically during movement & locomotion
- 3) Two major divisions of the Bilateria exhibit many differences:
- PROTOSTOMIA: spiral & determinate cleavage; coelom (if present) via schizocoely; mouth (and sometimes anus) from blastopore; multiciliated cells; trochophore-like larva
- DEUTEROSTOMIA: radial & indeterminate cleavage (primitive state); coelom via enterocoely; mouth not from blastopore; monociliated (primitively); larva not trochophore-like
