Introduction to animals Introduction to Animals – Ch. 32
3
The Nature of Animals Section 32.1
4
Classification: ● 95-98% of animals are invertebrates ● Without a backbone ● 2-5% of animals are vertebrates ● With a backbone
6
Animal Traits
7
Characteristics: All animals are: 1. Multicellular 2. Eukaryotic 3. Ingestive heterotrophs 4. Lacking in cell walls 5. Sexually reproductive 6. Able to move
8
1. Multicellular Organization ● Cell specialization: the evolutionary adaptation of a cell for a particular function ● Tissue: group of similar cells that perform a common function ● Cell junctions: connections between cells that hold them together as a unit
9
Atom Molecule or compound Organelle CELL Levels of Organization Tissue Organ Organ system Organism Life begins
10
2. Eukaryotic cells
11
3. Ingestive Heterotrophy ● Getting complex organic compounds (carbon) from sources other than the sun ● Ingestion: taking in food usually in the form of an other organism ● Digestion: the body’s process of extracting organic molecules from food
12
Lions Feeding (Ingestion)
13
4. Lack of cell walls
14
5. Sexual Reproduction & Development ● Hermaphrodites: producing both eggs and sperm ● Examples: worms & sponges ● Most do NOT fertilize own eggs ● Why not? ● Zygote: diploid cell that results from the fusion of two haploid gametes ● Undergoes differentiation (cells becoming specialized to perform a specific function)
15
Mating and Mating Behaviors Beetles Mating Male Female Young Courtship
16
Leeches Exchange Sperm During Mating Mating leech
17
Parthenogenesis: ● Females of some animals produce eggs, but the eggs develop without being fertilized! ● New offspring will be all female ● Example animals: some fishes, several kinds of insects, and a few species of frogs and lizards

6. Movement ● Sessile: attached & non-moving ● sponges ● Sedentary: move very little ● clam ● Motile: animals that can move ● humans ● Ability to move depends upon interaction between nervous tissue and muscle tissues ● Neurons: cells of nervous tissue
20
SESSILESEDENTARY MOTILE Sponge Chiton Cheetah
21
Origin of Animals: ● Animals came about in the water ● Evolved from colonial protists: ● Each organism had its own function (for the colony) much like each cell of the animal body has its own function (for the organism) Vide o
22
Body Structure: ● Symmetry is the arrangement of body parts around a central plane or axis ● Asymmetry occurs when the body can’t be divided into similar sections ● sponges
23
Radial symmetry ● when body parts are arranged around a central point ● like spokes on a wheel ● echinoderms ● Most animals are sessile (attached) or sedentary (move very little)
24
Bilateral symmetry ● when animals can be divided into equal halves along a single plane ● right and left sides that are mirror images of each other ● are usually motile ● Show cephalization ● concentration of sensory organs on the head (anterior) end
26
What type of symmetry is this?
27
Segmentation ● When an animal body is composed of a series of repeating similar units ● Example: earthworm (annelid) ● Segments may look different & have different functions ● Example: insects & crustaceans (arthropods)
28
Anatomical Terms: Dorsal: back surface of animal Ventral: underside of animal Anterior: front end of animal Posterior: rear end of animal Lateral: sides of animal Medial: along midline of animal Proximal: near to Distal: away from

Comparison of Invertebrates & Vertebrates Section 32.2
31
Invertebrate groups Video !
32
Invertebrates ● Simplest animals ● Contain the greatest number of different species ● Most are aquatic ● Do NOT have a backbone ● Includes: ● sponges, cnidarians, flatworms, roundworms, annelids, mollusks, arthropods, & echinoderms
33
Sponges – Phylum Porifera Osculum of Sponge
34
Sea Anemone – Phylum Cnidaria Tentacles of Sea Anemone
35
More Phylum Cnidaria * Brain Coral Red jellyfish
36
Flatworms – Phylum Platyhelminthes Planarian Marine Flatworm
37
Roundworms - Phylum Nematoda Segmented Worms – Phylum Annelida Nematode Leech (segmented worm)
38
Phylum Mollusca (With and Without Shells) snailscallop nautilus nudibranch octopus
39
Phylum Arthropoda Dung beetle Horseshoe crab crayfish spider
40
Phylum Echinodermata Sea cucumber Sand dollar starfish Brittle star Sea fan (crinoid)
41
Symmetry ● Most are radial or bilateral ● Radial can receive stimuli and move in any direction (in water) ● Some are highly cephalized Bilateral but NOT an invertebrate Radia l Bilatera l
42
Support of the Body ● Various types of support: 1. Simple skeletons (sponges) 2. Fluid-filled body cavity (roundworms) 3. Exoskeleton (crayfish) ● Rigid outer covering for protection of soft tissue
43
2 Types of Circulatory Systems: ● Open circulatory system: circulatory fluid is pumped by the heart through vessels into a body cavity ● Arthropods & most mollusks ● Closed circulatory system: circulatory fluid is restricted to vessels in a closed loop ● Squid (mollusk) V IDEO
44
Digestive & Excretory Systems ● Gut: a digestive tract running through the body ● Liquid wastes are excreted as ammonia ● highly toxic
45
Development ● Indirect Development: an intermediate larval stage occurs ● Flies ● Direct development: young animal appears similar to adult ● grasshoppers
46

Vertebrate Groups Video!
48
Fishes – Classes Myxini, Cephalaspidomorphi, Chondrichthyes, Actinopterygii, and Sarcopterygii lancelet ray anglerfish damselfish
49
Class Amphibia toad newt frog salamander
50
Class Reptilia Turtle Snake Alligator Lizard
51
Class Aves hummingbird ostrich lovebirds
52
Class Mammalia
53
Vertebrata ● More complex animals ● Most have a backbone made up of individual bones called vertebrae ● All species are in the Phylum Chordata ● From simplest to most complex groups: ● Fish ● Amphibians ● Reptiles ● Birds ● Mammals
54
Support of Body ● Vertebrates have endoskeletons ● Internal skeletons ● Supports more weight ● Grows as animal grows (no molting) ● Some vertebrates have skeletons of cartilage ● sharks, rays, and skates ● Other vertebrates have skeletons of bone and cartilage ● reptiles, birds, & mammals
55
Bone & Cartilage in Fetus
56
Segmentation ● Vertebrae: repeating bony units of the backbone ● Vertebrae & ribs are segmented
57
Body Covering ● Integument: outer covering of an animal ● Terrestrial animals are water-tight ● Why? ● Examples: feathers, hair, scales
58
Respiration & Circulation ● Respiration (breathing): ● Aquatic = gills ● Terrestrial = lungs ● Circulation: ● Closed circulation with multi-chambered heart ● Separates oxygen and deoxygenated blood ● Improves efficiency
59
Digestion & Excretion ● Digestion: ● Occurs in the gut (mouth → anus) ● Excretion: ● Kidneys: filters wastes from the blood while regulates water levels in the body
60
Nervous System ● Highly organized brains ● Each part has its own function
61
Fertilization & Development Section 32.3
62
Fertilization ● Definition: the union of the female and male reproductive gametes ● Results in a single diploid cell named the zygote I’m in!
63
Fertilization Steps: 1. Sperm’s membrane fuses with egg’s membrane 2. Electrical charge occurs to block entry of other sperm into egg 3. Sperm nucleus merges with egg nucleus forming zygote 4. DNA replication begins & cell division occurs V IDEO
64
Cleavage ● Definition: division of the zygote immediately following fertilization via mitosis ● Organism size does not increase even though number of cells does
65
V IDEO
66
Tissue Development ● Cleavage results in the formation of a hollow ball of cells called the blastula
67
Blastula The blastocoel is the center cavity of the blastula with 1 germ layer (blastoderm)
68
Tissue Development ● The blastula invaginates ● folds inward at one point ● Called Gastrulation ● The opening is called the blastopore ● The center is the primitive gut ● Archenteron blastopore Archenteron
69
Embryonic Development V IDEO
70
Tissues
71
Tissue Development: ● Germ layers: tissues found in the embryos of all animals except sponges ● Typically three layers in depth ● All body features arise from one of these layers ● Body cavities: fluid-filled space that forms between the digestive tract & outer wall of body during development ● Aids in movement of animal ● Reservoir for transport of materials
72
Germ Layers ● Form tissues, organs, & systems ● NOT present in sponges ● Ectoderm (outer) – forms skin, nerves, sense organs ● Endoderm (inner) – forms liver and lungs ● Mesoderm (middle) – forms muscles & other systems Animation
73
Body Cavities
74
Coelom = Body Cavity ● Internal body cavity fully lined with mesoderm ● Body organs suspended in this cavity
75
Types of body cavities: 1. Acoelomates: no body cavity ● solid bodies filled with cells ● sponges, cnidarians, & flatworms 2.Pseudocoelomates: “false body cavity” ● have a functional body cavity NOT fully lined with mesoderm ● Rotifer, roundworms 3.Coelomates: true coelom ● Mollusks, annelids, arthropods, chordates
76
Acoelomate ● no body cavity ● solid bodies filled with cells ● sponges, cnidarians, & flatworms
77
Pseudocoelomate ● “false body cavity” ● have a functional body cavity NOT fully lined with mesoderm ● Rotifer, roundworms
78
Coelmate: ● true coelom ● Mollusks, annelids, arthropods, chordates
