"and subsection" "we published the article" Why do righties exist?» Today we will continue the topic and consider an even more global issue - why bilateral symmetry in higher animals and man? Why aren't we like hydras or starfish? Is such a development of evolution possible at all, when the bodies will have non-bilateral symmetry? These are the questions we will answer. At the same time, to the question asked in the previous article “Why is the right hemisphere responsible for the left side of the body, and the left for the right?”

Why bilateral symmetry? You probably know hundreds of examples of such bodies - these are horses, dogs, frogs, cats - almost any vertebrates that you take will be bilaterally symmetrical. But why? It would be nice to have five-ray symmetry, like a starfish ... They say that from one of its torn off rays a new individual can grow ... Maybe we would have such an ability? ..

Why does bilateral symmetry occur at all?

Answer: This is due to active movement in space. Let's explain in detail:

Some unicellular and multicellular creatures live in the water column. Strictly speaking, for them there are no concepts of "right-left" and "up-down", because the force of gravity is negligible, and the environment is the same. Therefore, they look like a sphere - needles and outgrowths stick out in all directions to increase buoyancy. An example is radiolaria:

Primitive multicellular organisms attached to the bottom live differently. The "up" and "down" are already there, but the probability of the appearance of prey or predator is the same from all sides. This creates radial symmetry. An anemone, a hydra or a jellyfish spreads its tentacles in all directions, the concepts of "right" and "left" are nothing to them.

With more active movement, the concepts of "front" and "behind" arise. All the main sense organs go forward, because the probability of an attack or prey is greater in front than behind, and everything that has already been indifferently crawled past, swam, ran and flew by, is not so significant.

An even more active movement implies a uniform interest in both what is on the left and what is on the right. There is a need for bilateral symmetry. An example that explains the dependence of the pace of movement and symmetry is sea urchins. Slowly crawling species have, like all echinoderms, ray symmetry.

However, some species have mastered life in the sea sand, in which they dig and move quite quickly. Exactly according to the rule described above, their spherical shell is flattened, stretched a little and becomes bilaterally symmetrical!

And now the MAIN THING:

In a bilaterally symmetrical animal, both halves should develop equally.

After all any bias in one direction or another is harmful.

Everything is simple.

If there were no crossing of nerves, and the right hemisphere was responsible for the right side of the body:

The degree of development of each of the halves depends on the load. Imagine: by chance, the right side of the animal's body moves more, muscles grow, blood supply to the right hemisphere is better (after all, there is no decussation of nerves).

The more blood, the more nutrition, and the more development of the right half of the brain. Hence, if there was no crossing of nerves, there would be a huge right half of the body and a huge right hemisphere. Whereas the frail left half of the body with grief in half was controlled by the tiny left hemisphere. Well, or vice versa ... Agree, a hybrid would be noble - and non-survival.

Therefore, it is more survivable when the right hemisphere controls the left half of the body. Then stimulation of the right hemisphere will improve the left side of the body! So the growth of one of the two symmetrical parts of the body, as it were, "pulls" the other behind it, thereby ensuring their uniform coordinated development.

General conclusion:

Active movement creates bilateral symmetry.

Therefore, if we lived in other bodies (hydras, jellyfish, starfish, etc.), and led the same active lifestyle, then we would again have bilateral symmetry.

So here it is, no matter how sad 🙂

Bilateral symmetry is the same arrangement of body parts of an organism in the left and right halves on both sides of the central axis or plane. Figuratively speaking, if you draw a line from the head to the tail of an organism - both sides are mirror images of each other. In this case, the organism exhibits bilateral symmetry, which is also known as planar symmetry, since one plane divides the organism into mirror halves. We will learn all about bilateral symmetry and look at some examples. We will also discuss the main benefits.

Definition of symmetry

Symmetry is related to the orientation of an organism based on a plane or around an axis. Given the different shapes and orientations of different organisms, scientists have come up with three main types of symmetry:

  • The first type is radial symmetry. With this type, the body plan is based on the axis. In other words, the body is oriented so that it reflects from behind an imaginary line through the center of the organism. These organisms have a top and a bottom, but they do not have left and right sides, front and back. A couple of examples of radial symmetry are starfish, jellyfish, and sea anemones.
  • There are some organisms that show no symmetry at all. They are classified as asymmetrical. The only animals that really belong to this classification are sponges.
  • The last type of symmetry is bilateral symmetry. This is when the body plan can be divided along a plane that divides the animal's body into right and left sides, which are mirror images of each other. Let's look at this type of symmetry in a little more detail.

Examples of bilateral symmetry

So now you can think of different animals that exhibit bilateral symmetry. Man is the first example we will discuss. Yes, we humans are an example of bilateral symmetry. This can be seen quite simply. Go and look in the mirror and see for yourself. We could draw a line right down the middle of your body, right through your nose, and divide you into right and left mirror images. Even your brain can be divided into equal right and left sides.

Let's look at another example. Do you have a dog or a cat? They also have bilateral symmetry. Other examples you may not have thought of are sharks, butterflies and ants.

Benefits of Bilateral Symmetry

So there are actually some real benefits to bilateral symmetry. The fact that we have two eyes and ears means we can see and hear more than most radially symmetrical animals. Bilateral symmetry also led to the formation of the head and tail region. This means that everything can go in one end and out the other, unlike those organisms that have to use the same opening. Without going into too much detail, let's just say we're all very excited about this.

Another benefit is that bilateral symmetry allows the development of a more thorough nervous system that can control the body. Many animals have bilateral body symmetry, which means they can be split into matching halves by drawing a line down the center. In this respect, arthropods are built like humans: the right half of arthropods is a mirror image of the left half. This is bilateral symmetry.

Bilateral and radial symmetry

Most animals on the planet exhibit bilateral symmetry. This is what people have. It is different from radial. Radially symmetrical organisms are similar to the shape of a pie, where each part is almost identical, although they do not have a left or right side. Instead, they have top and bottom surfaces. Organisms that exhibit radial symmetry are, for example, corals, jellyfish and sea anemones, sea urchins and starfish.

Traits of Bilaterally Symmetric Organisms

Organisms that are bilaterally symmetrical exhibit front and back, top and bottom, and left and right sides. They tend to move faster than animals that do not exhibit bilateral body symmetry. It is also improved vision and hearing capabilities compared to those with radial symmetry.

Basically all marine organisms, including all vertebrates and some invertebrates, are bilaterally symmetrical. This includes marine mammals such as dolphins and whales, fish, lobsters and sea turtles. Interestingly, some animals have one type of body symmetry when they are first life forms, but they develop differently as they grow.

There is one marine animal that does not show symmetry at all: sponges. These organisms are multicellular, but remain the only asymmetric animals. This means there is no place in their bodies where you can split them in half and see mirror images.
