Roundworm(nematode)

Segmented worm(annelids)

Complex Invertebrates -Mollusks• Snails • have bilateral

symmetry• a muscular foot or

tentacle• mass of internal

organs• most have a shell• specialized organs

including heart, gills and a well-developed nervous system

• use a water pressure system that helps them feed, breathe and move

Complex Invertebrates -Arthropods

• crabs • hard skeleton on the outside (exoskeleton) provides strength and protection.

• bilateral symmetry• segmented bodies

with jointed legs• efficient nervous

sytem and good sensory systems
