7
Q

What is a blastula?

A

A hollow ball of cells

8
Q

The blastula pinches inward (invagination), eventually forming _______

A

Gastrula

9
Q

What are the three germ layers formed during invagination? (blastula –> gastrula)

A

Endoderm
Mesoderm
Ectoderm

10
Q

What does the endoderm become?

A

The gut

11
Q

What does the mesoderm become?

A

The inside bits

12
Q

What does the ectoderm become?

A

Skin

13
Q

What are the advantages of segmentation?

A
  • allows greater body mobility

- allows for specialization of body parts

14
Q

What is the body cavity called?

A

Coelem

15
Q

What do we call the layer that lines the body cavity and gut and covers the internal organs?

A

Peritonium

16
Q

What is a pseudocoelemate?

A

An organism with the coelem but no peritonium

17
