The Invertebrate Features
Triploblastic Organism:
These organisms posses three germ layers (tissue layers): The endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. Most invertebrates except sponges have three germ layers.

Deuterostome Development:
In animals a development mode distinguished by development of an anus from the blastopore, often characterizes by radial cleavage and by the body cavity forming as out-pockets of mesodermal tissue. These organisms are found in sea stars and all vertebrates. During our scavenger hunt

Protostome Development:
In animals a development mode distinguished by the development of an anus from the biosphere, often characterized by radical cleavage and by the body cavity forming an out-pocket of mesodermal tissue. this is found in organisms and the relatives of sea stars and all vertebrates.

Bilateral Symmetry:
Is an animal that has a right and left side. All vertebrates have bilateral symmetry. The Golden Lion Tamarin (Leotophitheous Rosalia) is the animal that represents Bilateral Symmetry.

Segmented Body:
The Caribbean Spiny Lobster get their name from the forward- pointing spines that cover their bodies to help them from predators.

Radial Symmetry:
An animal such as those that provide habitat for CLOWN FISH. it displays a body symmetry where there are no right or left side but rather mirror image when an imaginary slice is taken through the central axis.

Budding:
The method for asexual reproduction involves an outgrowth from one parent and pinch off to live independently or remained attached to eventually form extensive clones. Found in the ocean around Bermuda.

Polyp:
These are the opposite of a Medusa body from where mobility is permitted. Members of phylum cnidaria are sessile form attached to some substrate. These animals live symbiotically with algae and can be found in the aquarium and all over Bermuda.

Nematocyst:
These organisms have a stinging tentacles found in the phylum cnidaria. They float around Bermuda with long tentacles that span underwater far beyond the body of this creatures.

Filter Feeder:
These organisms rely current to bring forth nutrients. these invertebrates are are sessile. phylum porifera and phylum cnidarian have filter feeders. many can be seen in north rock exhibit.

Tubed Feet:
One of numerous extensions of an echinoderm's water vascular system. Tube feet function in locomotion and feeding.

Cartilaginous Endoskeleton:
Is a class that contains the cartilaginous fishes: they are jawed vertebrates with paired fins, paired nares, scales, a heart with its chambers in series, and skeletons made of cartilage rather than bone. |
Swim Bladder:
It is present in the bony class or Osteichthyans enables the fish to maintain and control buoyancy water.

Operculum:
A small covering or lid, and is widely used in descriptions of animals and plants.

Dry Skin With Horny Scales:
Any of various usually cold-blooded egg-laying vertebrates often grouped in the class Reptile.

Displays Endothermy:
is an organism that maintains its body at a metabolically favorable temperature, largely by the use of heat set free by its internal bodily functions instead of relying almost purely on ambient heat.

Air Sacs:
An air-filled space in the body of a bird that forms a connection between the lungs and bone cavities and aids in breathing and temperature regulation.

Displays Ectothermy:
An organism that depends on external sources for its body heat. a cold-blooded animal.

Gizzard:
a muscular, thick-walled part of a bird's stomach for grinding food, typically with grit.

Air Breathing Skin:
The thin skin serves a purpose that involves amphibians respiratory functioning. when frogs are out of the water, the mucous glands in the skin keeps it moist, which helps them dissolved oxygen from the air just like humans. They can live on land or in the water.
