But in all animals above the Sponges and Coelenterates, a middle layer appears between the other two. From thisâthe mesoderm or mesoblastâ the muscles, the internal skeleton, the connective-tissue, etc., are formed. 9. Some Generalisations.â{a) The '^ ; To realise that almost every organism from the sponge to the highest begins its life as a fertilised egg-cell, and is built up by the division and arrangement, layering and fold- ing of cells, should not lessen, but should greatly enhance, the wonder with which we look upon life. If the end of this constantly repeated process of development be. Fig. 37.âThe formation of the two-layered gas- trula from the invagination of a hollow sphere of cells.
