WHAT DOES DEUTEROSTOME MEAN IN ENGLISH?

deuterostome

Deuterostome

Deuterostomes are a superphylum of animals. They are a subtaxon of the Bilateria branch of the subregnum Eumetazoa, and are opposed to the protostomes. Deuterostomes are distinguished by their embryonic development; in deuterostomes, the first opening becomes the anus, while in protostomes it becomes the mouth. Deuterostomes are also known as enterocoelomates because their coelom develops through enterocoely. There are four extant phyla of deuterostomes: ▪ Phylum Chordata ▪ Phylum Echinodermata ▪ Phylum Hemichordata ▪ Phylum Xenoturbellida Superphylum Deuterostomia was redefined in 1995 based on molecular sequence analyses when the lophophorates were removed from it and combined with other protostome animals to form superphylum Lophotrochozoa. The phylum Chaetognatha may also belong here. Extinct groups may include the phylum Vetulicolia. Echinodermata, Hemichordata and Xenoturbellida form the clade Ambulacraria. The present phylum Priapulida also has a deuterostomic development, despite being otherwise placed within the protostomes. In both deuterostomes and protostomes, a zygote first develops into a hollow ball of cells, called a blastula.

Definition of deuterostome in the English dictionary

The definition of deuterostome in the dictionary is any member of the major group of animals defined by the fact that during early embryonic development the first opening to form becomes the anus of the animal. The opposite is protostome.
