Scientific definitions for deuterostome

deuterostome
[ dōōtə-rō-stōm′ ]

Any of a major group of animals defined by its embryonic development, in which the first opening in the embryo becomes the anus. At this stage in their development, the later specialized function of any given embryonic cell has not yet been determined.

They include the echinoderms, chaetognaths, hemichordates, and chordates. Compare protostome.
