Document Summary

Variations in characteristics: multicellular; heterotrophic; diploid generation; three layers embryonic development: tissue complexity: eumetazoa (functioning cells organized into tissues). It develops into the digestive tract of an animal). An amebocyte is a mobile cell in the body of invertebrates such as echinoderms, mollusks or sponges. Flukes are internal animal parasites/external parasites that suck tissue fluids/blood. Tapeworms are internal parasites that often live in digestive tract of vertebrates; appear segmented (only as 2nd for reproduction => not considered true segmented animal). Two kinds of life cycles: nymphs (small version of adult, change shape as grow proceeds). Notochord provides dorsal, flexible rod that functions as support; replaced by bone during development; in most vertebrates, it becomes nucleus pulposus of intervertebral disc; arrived from mesoderm. Dorsal hollow nerve cord forms basis of nervous system => brain and spinal cord. Pharyngeal gill slits provide channels across pharynx to outside body; slits become gills for o2 or filter-feeding; slit disappear during embryonic development in others.
