Protostomes and Deuterostomes
The coelomates can be taxonomically grouped into protostomes and deuterostomes based
on differences that occur during development. Protostomes have spiral and determinant
cleavage, and deuterostomes have radial and indeterminate cleavage. Protostomes have
schizocoelus development, and deuterostomes have enterocoelus development. In
protostomes, the blastopore develops into the mouth. In deuterostomes, the blastopore
develops into the anus. Review As a group, the coelomates have a body cavity lined on both
sides with tissue derived from the mesoderm. The phylogenetic tree on the left depicts the
fact that the coelomates are taxonomically grouped into protostomes and deuterostomes.
The groupings are based on fundamental differences that occur during development.
Protostomes include molluscs, annelids, and arthropods. Deuterostomes include the
echinoderms, chordates, and several other lesserknown phyla. During embryonic
development cells continually divide, a process called cleavage. The cleavage pattern is
indicated by the position of the cells relative to the embryos polar axis. In protostomes, each
new cell forms at an angle that is oblique to the polar axis. The pattern is referred to as spiral
cleavage since the dividing cells spiral outward from the polar axis. In deuterostomes, cells
form at right angles to the polar axis, a pattern called radial cleavage because the cells form
a radius outward from the polar axis. In protostomes, cells are determinate, meaning that
their developmental fate is fixed. In deuterostomes, the cells are indeterminate, meaning that
the cells of the embryo are identical and any single cell has the potential of developing into a
complete organism.
