1.
acoelomate: an animal with no coelom, or body coelem
2.
archenteron: deep cavity that forms after the cup-shaped embryo enlarges
3.
blastocoel: the central cavity of a blastula
4.
blastopore: a depression form when cells of the blastula move inward
5.
blastula: a hollow ball of cells formed when a zygote undergoes repeated cycles of cell division
6.
cleavage: the divisions of the zygote immediately following fertilization
7.
coelem: a body cavity formed within the mesoderm
8.
coelomate: animals with true coelom
9.
determinate cleavage: a process in which each cell develops into a specific part of the gastrula
10.
deuterostome: an organism in which the blastopore develops into the anus and the coelom arises by enterocoely and whose embryo has indeterminate cleavage
11.
ectoderm: the outermost of the three germ layers of the gastrula that develops into the epidermis and epidermal tissue, nervous system, external sense organs, and mucous membrane
12.
endoderm: the innermost of the three germ layers of the gastrula and develops into the epithelium of the pharynx, respiratory tract, digestive tract, bladder, and urethra
13.
enterocoely: the process of mesoderm formation in deuterostomes in which the coelem forms in folded mesoderm
14.
gastrula: the cup-shaped embryo formed as the blastula folds inward
15.
gastrulation: the process to transform the blastula into a multi-layered embryo
16.
indeterminate cleavage: a pattern od development in which the functional destiny of each cell is not determined early in the development of the embryo
17.
mesoderm: a layer of cell in the gastrula that gives rise to muscles and to interior body linings
18.
protostome: an organism in which the blastopore develops into the mouth and the coelem arises by schizocoely and whose embryo has determinate cleavage
19.
pseudocoelom: in animals, a cavity between the mesoderm and the endoderm
20.
radial clevage: in deuterostomes, the division of cells parallel to or at right angles to the polar axis of a fertilized egg
21.
schizocoely: the method of coelom formation in protostomes that involved splitting the embryonic mesoderm into two layers
22.
spiral cleavage: in protostomes, the division of cells in a spiral arrangement
