Intro. To Animal Evolution
What is an animal?
Multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes
Lack cell walls
Two unique types of tissues: nervous tissue for
impulse conduction and muscle tissue for
movement.
Most animals reproduce sexually, with the diploid
stage usually dominating the life cycle

Body Cavities (cont.)
Acoelomates (the phylum Platyhelminthes) have a
solid body and lack a body cavity.
Body Cavities (cont.)
In some organisms, there is a body cavity, but it is
not completely lined by mesoderm.
This is termed a pseudocoelom.
These pseudocoelomates include the rotifers (phylum
Rotifera) and the roundworms (phylum Nematoda).
Body Cavities (cont.)
Coelomates are organisms with a true coelom, a
fluid-filled body cavity completely lined by
mesoderm.
