What is an Aceolomate?

An aceolomate is an animal that lacks a true body cavity. This means it has no space between the gut and the body wall.

What is a Euceolomate?

A euceolomate is an animal that has a true body cavity or coelom. This space is lined by mesoderm and allows for organ development and movement.

What is a Pseudoceolomate?

A pseudocoelomate is an animal that has a body cavity, but it's not completely lined by mesoderm. This means it's not as fully developed as a coelom.

What is incomplete metamorphosis?

Incomplete metamorphosis involves only three stages: egg, nymph, and adult. The nymph looks similar to the adult, but smaller and without wings.

What is simple metamorphosis?

Simple metamorphosis involves only two stages: egg and adult. The young resemble smaller versions of the adults.

What is an endostyle?

The endostyle is a groove on the ventral side of the pharynx in chordates. It is involved in feeding and is thought to have evolved into the thyroid gland in vertebrates.
