  • Animal Characterization Based on Features of Embryological Development

    • Radially-symmetrical animals are diploblasts, developing two germ layers: an inner layer (endoderm) and an outer layer (ectoderm).
    • Diploblasts have a non-living layer between the endoderm and ectoderm.
    • During embryogenesis, diploblasts develop two embryonic germ layers: an ectoderm and an endoderm.
  • Phylum Cnidaria

    • Cnidarians are diploblastic, have organized tissue, undergo extracellular digestion, and use cnidocytes for protection and to capture prey.
    • Phylum Cnidaria includes animals that show radial or biradial symmetry and are diploblastic: they develop from two embryonic layers.
  • Superphylum Lophotrochozoa

    • The lophotrochozoans are triploblastic, possessing an embryonic mesoderm sandwiched between the ectoderm and endoderm found in the diploblastic cnidarians.
