1
Introduction to animals Introduction to Animals
2
Traits
3
Characteristics of Animals All multicellular (metazoans) Eukaryotes (cells with nucleus & organelles) Ingestive heterotrophs (take in food and internally digest it) Store food reserves in the liver as glycogen
4
Lions Feeding (Ingestion)
5
Body Symmetry
6
Bilateral symmetry occurs when animals can be divided into equal halves along a single plane Organisms will have right and left sides that are mirror images of each other More complex type of symmetry
7
Support Systems Have some type of skeletal support Endoskeleton inside and made of cartilage &/or bone Exoskeletons found in arthropods –Cover the outside of the body –Limit size –Must be molted making animal vulnerable to predators
8
Cicada Molting Exoskeleton
9
Support Systems Worms and echinoderms (starfish) have fluid-filled internal cavities giving them support Called hydrostatic skeletons
10
Coelom - Body Cavity Internal body cavity fully lined with mesoderm Body organs suspended in this cavity
11
Coelom - Body Cavity Acoelomate animals have solid bodies filled with cells Acoelomate animals include sponges, cnidarians, & flatworms
12
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
13
Body Layers Sponges have NO tissues or organs, only specialized cells Cnidarians like jellyfish & coral have only two body layers & one body opening (mouth/anus) into gastrovascular cavity Cnidarians have outer epidermis & inner gastrodermis with jelly- like mesoglea between the layers
14
Movement Animals such as sponges may be sessile (attached & non-moving) Animals that move very little are said to be sedentary (clam) Animals that can move are motile Have muscular tissue to provide energy for movement
15
SESSILESEDENTARY MOTILE Sponge Chiton Cheetah
16
Reproduction in Animals All animals are capable of sexual reproduction Some animals like sponges and earthworms are hermaphrodites producing both eggs and sperm Hermaphrodites may exchange sperm and NOT fertilize their own eggs
17
Leeches Exchange Sperm During Mating Mating leech
18
Reproduction in Animals Females of some animals produce eggs, but the eggs develop without being fertilized Called Parthenogenesis New offspring will be all female Parthenogenesis occurs in some fishes, several kinds of insects, and a few species of frogs and lizards
19
Parthenogenesis in the Komodo Dragon
20
Mating and Mating Behaviors Beetles Mating Male Female Young Courtship
21
Levels of Organization Sponges are the ONLY animals that have just the cellular level All other animals show these levels – cell, tissue, organ, and system Cells may specialize (take own different shapes and functions) Cells are held together by cell junctions to form tissues
22
Atom Molecule or compound Organelle CELL Levels of Organization Tissue Organ Organ system Organism Life begins
23
Invertebrate groups
24
Characteristics of Invertebrates Simplest animals Contain the greatest number of different species Most are aquatic (found in water) Do NOT have a backbone Includes sponges, cnidarians, flatworms, roundworms, annelids, mollusks, arthropods, and echinoderms
25
Sponge - Porifera Osculum of Sponge
26
Sea Anemone - Cnidaria Tentacles of Sea Anemone
27
More Cnidarians Brain Coral Red jellyfish
28
Flatworms - Platyhelminthes Planarian Marine Flatworm
29
Roundworms (Nematoda) and Segmented Worms (Annelida) Nematode Leech (segmented worm)
30
Mollusca (With and Without Shells) snailscallop nautilus nudibranch octopus
31
Arthropoda (insects, spiders, crustaceans, horseshoe crab) Dung beetle Horseshoe crab crayfish spider
32
Echinoderms Sea cucumber Sand dollar starfish Brittle star Sea fan (crinoid)
33
Vertebrate Groups
34
Vertebrata More complex animals Most have a backbone made up of individual bones called vertebrae From simplest to most complex, the phylum includes: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals
35
Vertebrate Backbone
36
Vertebrata Vertebrates have endoskeletons (internal) Some vertebrates have skeletons of cartilage (sharks, rays, and skates) Other vertebrates have skeletons of bone and cartilage (reptiles, birds, & mammals)
37
Bone & Cartilage in Fetus
38
Fish lancelet ray anglerfish damselfish
39
Amphibia toad newt frog salamander
40
Reptilia Turtle Snake Alligator Lizard
41
Birds - Aves hummingbird ostrich lovebirds
42
Mammalia
43
Body Areas
44
Surfaces Dorsal – back or upper surface Ventral – belly or lower surface Anterior – head or front end Posterior – tail or hind end opposite the head Oral surface (echinoderms) – is where the mouth is located (underside) Aboral surface (echinoderms) – is opposite the mouth (top side)
45
DORSAL VENTRAL Surfaces (Most Animals) ANTERIOR POSTERIOR
46
Surfaces (Echinoderms) ORAL ABORAL mouth
47
Segmentation
48
Segmentation Occurs whenever animal bodies are divided into repeating units or segments Found in more complex animals Earthworms show external segmentation Humans show internal segmentation (backbone) Segments may fuse (cephalothorax)
49
Segmentation cephalothorax
50
Tissues
51
Tissue Development Zygote (fertilized egg) undergoes rapid cell divisions called cleavage Forms a hollow ball of cells called the blastula
52
Blastula The blastocoel is the center cavity of the blastula with 1 germ layer (blastoderm)
53
Tissue Development The blastula INVAGINATES (folds inward at one point) Called Gastrulation The opening is called the blastopore The center is the primitive gut or Archenteron blastopore Archenteron
54
Embryonic Development
55
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
56
Body Layers Sponges have NO tissues or organs, only specialized cells Cnidarians like jellyfish & coral have only two body layers & one body opening (mouth/anus) into gastrovascular cavity Cnidarians have outer epidermis & inner gastrodermis with jelly- like mesoglea between the layers
58
Body Layers All worms, mollusks, arthropods, echinoderms, and vertebrates have three cell layers –Ectoderm –Endoderm –mesoderm
59
Stages of Development
60
Larval Forms Animals with Indirect development Go through immature (larval) forms Larva does NOT resemble adult Cnidarian (jellyfish, coral, & sea anemone) larva called Planula
61
Larval Forms Mollusk (squid & octopus) larva called trochophore Echinoderm (starfish) larva is called Dipleurula
62
Metamorphosis Usually found in arthropods May be complete or incomplete Incomplete Metamorphosis: egg nymph adult Complete Metamorphosis: egg larva pupa adult
63
Metamorphosis COMPLETE INCOMPLETE
64
Animal Systems
65
Support Systems Spongin & spicules (sponges) Limestone cases (corals) Exoskeletons of Chitin (arthropods) –Must be shed or molted to grow Inner Calcium plates or Test (echinoderms) Bone/cartilage endoskeleton (vertebrates)
66
Digestive Systems All animals are ingestive heterotrophs Choanocytes (specialized cells) capture & digest food for sponges Gastrovascular cavity with one opening in cnidarians and flatworms for food to enter & leave; called two-way digestive system
67
Two-Way Digestion
68
Digestive Systems Animals with a one-way digestive system have a mouth and an anus Food enters the mouth, continues in one direction through the digestive tract, and wastes leave through the anus Includes annelids, arthropods, & vertebrates
69
One-Way Digestion Mouth anus
70
Circulatory Systems Transports oxygen & nutrients to cells Carries away wastes & carbon dioxide from cells Sponges, cnidarians, & flatworms do NOT have circulatory systems
71
Circulatory Systems In closed circulation, blood remains inside blood vessels until it reaches cells (annelids & vertebrates) In open circulation, blood is pumped out of blood vessels to bathe tissues in the body cavity or hemocoel (arthropods & mollusks)
72
Open Circulation Closed Circulation
