• Nematodes e.g. Ascaris , hookworm - Organs - pseudcoelom - Bilateral - Sexual; separate male and female individuals - Cylindrical unsegmented body
• Annelids e.g. earthworms, leeches - Organ systems - Coelom - Bilateral - Sexual; male , female or hermaproditic individuals - Cylindrical segmented body
• Molluscs e.g. snails, clams, oysters - Organ system - Coelom - Bilateral - Sexual; separate male and female individuals - Unsegmented body, muscular foot, mantle cavity; shells present in most
• Arthropods e.g. crustaceans, insects, spiders, millipedes - Organ system - Coelom - Bilateral - Sexual ; separate male and female individuals - Jointed appendages ; chitinous exoskeleton; specialized segments and sensory system
• Echinoderms e.g. starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers - Organ system - Coelom - Radial (adult); bilateral (Larva) - Sexual ; separate male and female individuals - Spiny skeleton; system of water cans; tube feet
