What are the evolutionary milestones that led to bodies of modern animals?
Tissue Formation • Formation of a three-layer animal embryo • Formation of a three-layer animal embryo
Bilateral organisms develop in one of two ways • Protostome • Deuterostome • Both represent distinct evolutionary groups within bilateral animals

The Simplest Living Animal • Placozoans, the simplest known animals, have no body symmetry, no tissues, and just four different types of cells • Example: Trichoplax adherens
Phylum Porifera - Sponges • Only animal to lack tissues • Individual cells have specialized functions but do not act as a specialized group of cells or tissue • Suggests that the evolutionary split between sponges and all other animals occurred early • Ancient common ancestor gave rise to both sponges and tissue containing animals
2 Major Categories of Animals • Vertebrates (vertebral column) • Invertebrates (no vertebral column)
Major Invertebrate Phyla • Porifera • Cnidaria • Platyhelminthes • Nematoda • Rotifera • Annelida • Mollusca • Arthropoda • Echinodermata
Phylum Cnidaria Hydrozoan Jellyfish Sea anemone Corals
