diploblastic

Examples of diploblastic in the following topics:

• Animal Characterization Based on Features of Embryological Development

  • Radially-symmetrical animals are diploblasts, developing two germ layers: an inner layer (endoderm) and an outer layer (ectoderm).
  • Diploblasts have a non-living layer between the endoderm and ectoderm.
  • During embryogenesis, diploblasts develop two embryonic germ layers: an ectoderm and an endoderm.

• Phylum Cnidaria

  • Cnidarians are diploblastic, have organized tissue, undergo extracellular digestion, and use cnidocytes for protection and to capture prey.
  • Phylum Cnidaria includes animals that show radial or biradial symmetry and are diploblastic: they develop from two embryonic layers.

• Superphylum Lophotrochozoa

  • The lophotrochozoans are triploblastic, possessing an embryonic mesoderm sandwiched between the ectoderm and endoderm found in the diploblastic cnidarians.
