Animal Characterization Based on Features of Embryological Development
- Deuterostomes differ in that their coelom forms through a process called enterocoely, when the mesoderm develops as pouches that are pinched off from the endoderm tissue.
- In deuterostomes, the mesoderm pinches off to form the coelom in a process called enterocoely.
