1. 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. 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

6. Cicada Molting Exoskeleton

7. Support Systems
Worms and echinoderms (starfish) have fluid-filled internal cavities giving them support
Called hydrostatic skeletons

8. 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

9. SESSILE
SEDENTARY
Chiton
Sponge
MOTILE
Cheetah

10. 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

11. Leeches Exchange Sperm During Mating

12. 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

13. Parthenogenesis in the Komodo Dragon

14. Mating and Mating Behaviors
Female
Beetles Mating
Young
Courtship
Male
Mating and Mating Behaviors

15. 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

16. Invertebrate groups

17. 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

18. Sponge - Porifera
Osculum of Sponge

19. Sea Anemone - Cnidaria
Tentacles of Sea Anemone

26. Vertebrate Groups

27. 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

28. Vertebrate Backbone

29. 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)

34. Birds - Aves
hummingbird

35. Mammalia

36. Body Areas

37. 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)

38. Surfaces (Most Animals)
DORSAL
POSTERIOR
ANTERIOR
VENTRAL

39. Surfaces (Echinoderms)
ORAL
ABORAL
mouth

40. Symmetry

41. Body Symmetry

42. Body Symmetry
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)

43. Body Symmetry
Radial symmetry occurs when body parts are arranged around a central point like spokes on a wheel (echinoderms)
Most animals with radial symmetry are sessile (attached) or sedentary (move very little)

45. Body Symmetry
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

46. Body Symmetry Animals with bilateral symmetry are usually motile
Animals have an anterior and posterior ends
Show cephalization (concentration of sensory organs on the head or anterior end)

48. Segmentation

49. 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)

50. Segmentation
cephalothorax

51. Tissues

52. Tissue Development
Zygote (fertilized egg) undergoes rapid cell divisions called cleavage
Forms a hollow ball of cells called the blastula

53. Blastula
The blastocoel is the center cavity of the blastula with 1 germ layer (blastoderm)

54. Tissue Development
The blastula INVAGINATES (folds inward at one point)
Called Gastrulation
The center is the primitive gut or Archenteron
Archenteron
blastopore

55. Embryonic Development

56. 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

57. 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

58. Body Layers
All worms, mollusks, arthropods, echinoderms, and vertebrates have three cell layers
Ectoderm
Endoderm
mesoderm

59. Embryonic Cleavage

60. Cleavage Cleavage – rapid mitosis (cell division) of zygote
Radial Cleavage – cells divide parallel or perpendicular to axis to each other

61. Cleavage
Spiral Cleavage – cellular divisions occur diagonally, in a twisting pattern

62. Stages of Development

63. Larval Forms Animals with Indirect development
Go through immature (larval) forms
Larva does NOT resemble adult
Cnidarian (jellyfish, coral, & sea anemone) larva called Planula

64. Larval Forms Mollusk (squid & octopus) larva called trochophore
Echinoderm (starfish) larva is called Dipleurula

65. Metamorphosis Usually found in arthropods
May be complete or incomplete
Incomplete Metamorphosis:
egg nymph adult
Complete Metamorphosis:
egg larva pupa adult

66. Metamorphosis
COMPLETE
INCOMPLETE

67. Body Cavities

68. Coelom - Body Cavity Internal body cavity fully lined with mesoderm
Body organs suspended in this cavity

69. Coelom - Body Cavity
Acoelomate animals have solid bodies filled with cells
Acoelomate animals include sponges, cnidarians, & flatworms

70. Coelom - Body Cavity
Pseudocoelomate animals (roundworms) have a functional body cavity NOT fully lined with mesoderm

71. Animal Systems

72. 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)

73. 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

74. Two-Way Digestion

75. 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

76. One-Way Digestion
Mouth
anus

77. Circulatory Systems Transports oxygen & nutrients to cells
Carries away wastes & carbon dioxide from cells
Sponges, cnidarians, & flatworms do NOT have circulatory systems

78. 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)
