Gastropoda : Snails and slugs. They undergo during development, rotating the visceral mass 180 degrees so the anus sits above the head.

: Cellular-level; lack true tissues and symmetry. Key Cell Types :

Choanocytes (Collar Cells) : Flagellated cells that drive water currents and trap food particles.

: The division of the body into linear, repeating segments. Each segment contains its own excretory, nervous, and circulatory elements, isolated from others by muscular walls called septa .

Coordinated tissue movements, specialized extracellular digestion. Platyhelminthes Cephalization, directional locomotion, true organ systems. Complete Digestive Tract

Highlighting the vulnerability of calcifying invertebrates (mollusks, corals) to ocean acidification.
