Main article: Embryological origins of the mouth and anus It could have resembled the small group of Cambrian urochordate deuterostomes named Vetulicolia.Īll chordates (which includes all vertebrates), such as birds and mammals, are deuterostomes. In the early embryonic stage, it looks like the hollow nerve cord of chordates.īecause of the highly modified nervous system of echinoderms, it is not possible to discern much about their ancestors in this matter, but based on different facts it is quite possible that all the present deuterostomes evolved from a common ancestor that had pharyngeal gill slits, a hollow nerve cord, circular and longitudinal muscles and a segmented body. Some hemichordates also have a tubular nerve cord. A hollow nerve cord is found in all chordates, including tunicates (in the larval stage). This is called enterocoely.Īnother feature present in both the Hemichordata and Chordata is pharyngotremy the presence of spiracles or gill slits into the pharynx, which is also found in some primitive fossil echinoderms ( mitrates). In deuterostomes the mesoderm forms as evaginations of the developed gut that pinch off, forming the coelom. Thus, if the first four cells are separated, each cell is capable of forming a complete small larva and if a cell is removed from the blastula, the other cells will compensate. Most deuterostomes display indeterminate cleavage, in which the developmental fate of the cells in the developing embryo are not determined by the identity of the parent cell. This is called radial cleavage, and also occurs in certain protostomes, such as the lophophorates. In deuterostomes, the early divisions occur parallel or perpendicular to the polar axis. In both deuterostomes and protostomes, a zygote first develops into a hollow ball of cells, called a blastula. The phylum Chaetognatha (arrow worms) may belong here, but molecular studies have placed them in the protostomes more often.Įxtinct deuterostome groups may include the phylum Vetulicolia.Įchinodermata and Hemichordata form the clade Ambulacraria.įile:Protovsdeuterostomes.svg Notable characteristics However, Superphylum Deuterostomia was redefined in 1995 based on DNA molecular sequence analyses when the lophophorates were removed from it and combined with other protostome animals to form superphylum Lophotrochozoa.

Previously, Deuterostomia also included the phyla Brachiopoda, Bryozoa, Chaetognatha, and Phoronida based on embryological characteristics.
