Some examples of deuterostomes include vertebrates, sea stars, and crinoids. In deuterostomy, the developing embryo's first opening (the blastopore) becomes the anus, while the mouth is formed at a different site later on.

What forms first in Deuterostome?

In deuterostomes, the first cavity formed by the blastopore ends up as the organism's anus, while the mouth is formed secondarily on the opposite side. This is the next major distinction between deuterostomes and protostomes; the protostomes form the mouth from the primary cavity and the anus second.

What is the order of Protostome development?

In protostomes, the blastopore develops into the mouth, and the anus develops from an opening later in development. In deuterostomes, the blastopore develops into the anus, and the mouth develops secondarily.
