# Symmetry
Animals can be divided into three types based on the body plane of symmetry. They are,
Asymmetry; There is no plnane of symmetry. eg. sponge
Bilaterlly semmetry; Animal can be divided into two equal half at only one point. eg. annelid
Radially symmetry; Animal can be divided into two equal half at any point. eg., echinoderms
# Germinal tissue layer
There are three layers in the germ tissues of the animal. They are ectoderm, mesoderm and
endoderm.
Diploblast; Made of two layers. ectoderm and endoderm. eg. cnidaria
Triploblast; Made of three layers, ecto, meso and endoderm. eg; annelids
# Body cavities (Coelom)
Based on the presence of body cavity animals can be divided into three types. This is a cavity located between the intestinal canal and the body wall.
Acoelomate; No body cavity. eg., Platyhelminthes
Pseudoceolomate; A false coelom is present. eg., Nemathelminthes
Coelomates; A true coelom is present
# Protostomes; First mouth develops from the blastospore. eg. invertebrates
# Deutrostomes; First anal canal forms from the blastospore. eg. Chordates.
