| Blastula | Hollow ball that is formed when the zygote undergoes cell divisions. |
| Ectoderm | The outer layer tissue that gives rise to the outer layer of skin, nervous system, and sense organs. |
| Endoderm | Inter layer of tissue that gives rise to the digestive lining respiratory system and digestive organs. |
| Mesoderm | Middle layer of tissue that gives rise to the skeletal system muscles and the circulatory system. |
| Body plan | Describes an animal's shape, symmetry, and internal organization. |
| Asymmetrical | Irregular in shape and sometimes their shapes depend on where they are growing. |
| Radial symmetry | Body parts arranged around a central axis, somewhat like the spokes around a bicycle wheel. |
| Bilateral symmetry | A body design in which there are distinct right and left halves. |

| Closed circulatory system | A heart pumps blood through a system of blood vessels and the blood remains in the vessels. |
| Hydrostatic skeleton | Consists of water that is contained under pressure in a closed cavity such as a gastrovascular cavity or coelom. |
| Exoskeleton | Is a rigid external skeleton that encases the body of an animal. |
| Endoskeleton | Is composed of a hard material, such as bone, embedded within an animal. |
| Hermaphrodites | Organisms that have both testes ovaries. |
