Animals kingdom
What are their similarities? What are their differences?
Objectives Name the main characteristics Explain what symmetry is Describe what is cephalization Mentioned the different body plans that animals have Explain the difference of an open circulatory system vs. a closed one

Name the main characteristics of the animal kingdom
Recall the levels of Classification
Classification; Phylogenetic tree
Body Symmetry Animals are classified by different symmetry plans. Asymmetrical Radial Symmetrical
Planes
Lets do a worksheet on symmetry.
Name the 9 phylums as classification taxons.
Cephalization Bilateral animals tend to have sensory and brain in the front.
Body Plan Most have a body cavity filled with fluid.
Classification; Phylogenetic tree
Circulatory System Most have a circulation system.
Circulatory System No circulatory system: ex. Sponges Open circulatory system: ex. Arthropods, mollusks Closed system: ex. mammals

Invertebrate vs. vertebrates Most have a circulation system.
The one thing that all invertebrates have in common is their lack of a backbone; otherwise, they're as different from one another as they are from vertebrates. All vertebrates fall under one phylum, chordata; invertebrates, on the other hand, include over 30 different phyla, collectively accounting for 98 to 99 percent of all known animal species.
Phylum Chordata General Characteristics: All chordates have a dorsal hollow nerve tube, a notochord, and pharyngeal gill slits. All vertebrates (members of a subphylum of chordata) have a backbone (spinal column) and a closed circulatory system.
