Animal Kingdom
2
Animals are either Invertebrates (no bones) Vertebrates (have bones)
or Vertebrates (have bones)
3
Kingdom: Animalia What do animals have in common?
They are multicellular They are eukaryotes They have no cell walls and…………………..
4
They are heterotrophs!
5
We informally divide the animal kingdom into 2 groups: Invertebrates and Vertebrates The animal kingdom is officially divided into 9 major groups called phyla.
6
Let’s take a look at the major Animal Phyla…
Let’s take a look at the major Animal Phyla…. starting with the simplest to the most complex. Which animal is the most complex? The Human
7
9 Animal Phyla (from simplest to most complex)
Porifera- sponges Cnidaria- jellyfish, etc Platyhelminthes- flatworms Nematoda- roundworms Annelida- segmented worms Mollusca- clams, snails etc. Arthropoda- jointed legged buggy things Echinodermata- spiny skinned ocean things Chordata- animals with bones
8
Phylum: Porifera(Sponges)
All are aquatic Many cells that live together, few specialized cells Sessile (Doesn’t move, usually attached to one surface) They have many openings in their bodies called pores
9
sexually by exchanging sperm and egg by water currents
Sponges set up water currents to get food and oxygen into their pores. and then to remove wastes. They reproduce sexually by exchanging sperm and egg by water currents filter feeders -animals that eat tiny organic particles from the water
11
Phylum: Cnidarian Hollow body with stinging tentacles- arm-like extensions with poison barbs. Live in water (marine-mostly ocean)
12
Hydra (with a bud) All cnidarians have stinging tentacles with stinging cells called nematocycts
13
Sea Anemone
14
Jellyfish Jellyfish normally float with ocean currents, but can for short periods of time move by jet propulsion.
15
Coral, which have created coral reefs over thousands of years
Coral are critically endangered because of human interference and global warming!
16
Cnidarian Body Plans Medusa- motile stage with a bell- shaped body
Polyp- sessile stage in which the tentacles are arm-like Medusa- motile stage with a bell- shaped body
17
We informally divide the animal kingdom into 2 groups: Invertebrates and Vertebrates The animal kingdom is officially divided into 9 major groups called phyla.
18
phylum: Platyhelminthes(Flatworms)
They have soft, flattened bodies Most are parasitic, but a few are free-living Parasite- lives in or on another organism and hurts it
19
An example of a parasitic flatworm is a tapeworm
These worms attach to someone’s intestines and absorb their digested food
20
Flukes are parasitic worms that can infect an animal’s blood or any of its internal organs.
21
A planaria is free-living and is found in streams, eating other animals.
Planaria can reproduce asexually by a process called fission.
22
phylum: Nematoda Roundworms
unsegmented with 2 body openings: a mouth and an anus Many are free-living but some are parasites
24
Hookworm
25
Guinea worm- drinking contaminated water
26
This roundworm causes elephantiasis
27
Heartworm killed this dog
28
phylum: Annelida These are the segmented worms
Annelida means “little ring” They have complex body parts, like blood vessels, nerves, excretory organs and respiratory organs. Most are hermaphrodites which means that they have both male and female reproductive organs in the same worm.
29
Some are free-living like the earthworm
Earthworm’s mating
30
Some are parasitic like the leech
Notice the “rings” or segments
31
We informally divide the animal kingdom into 2 groups: Invertebrates and Vertebrates The animal kingdom is officially divided into 9 major groups called phyla.
32
phylum: Mollusca Soft body, some with shell.
Foot- muscle used for movement and feeding. Mantle- tissue that secretes shell or covers body organs. Most live in water. 3 Groups...
33
Bivalves- use muscular foot to dig and pull through sand Some “swim” They have 2 shells
Examples: clams, oysters, mussels, scallops
34
Scallops Mussels Video
35
Gastropod- one or no shell, most live in the water, but some live on land. They breathe through their skin snail slug
36
Cephalopod- “head foot”, most intelligent of the invertebrates, complex eyes, deadly predators
Octopus
37
More cephalopods- the squid
38
phylum: Echinodermata
Spiny skinned Tube feet- suction cups that allow them to move by attaching to surfaces Aquatic Radial symmetry
39
Brittle Star Sea Cucumber Starfish regeneration Sea Urchin
40
phylum: Arthropod Largest animal phylum
jointed legs and segmented bodies tough exoskeleton that doesn’t grow many different appendages (structures attached to the main body) 5 main groups
41
Crustaceans 2 body segments, 10 legs, gills, aquatic
42
They are the crayfish, lobster, crab, shrimp and this newly discovered furry crustacean.
43
Insects- 3 body segments, 6 legs most numerous group of animals on earth.
44
Grasshopper Stag Beetle Honeybee Mosquito
45
Arachnids- 2 body segments and 8 legs, with fangs, many are poisonous
Scorpions spiders Ticks
46
All spiders have spinnerets which produce silk.
47
Chilopods- many segments with 2 legs per segment, carnivorous
Centipedes
48
Diplopods- many segments with 4 legs per segment, herbivores
millipede
49
Kingdom Animal: The remaining animals we will study all belong to the same phylum: Chordata. Most of the animals in this group are called “Vertebrates” because they have an internal skeleton and backbone called a vertebra.
50
Nonvertebrate Chordates- There are two small
groups of animals that do not have backbones. However they do have the other characteristics of chordates. They are body soft-bodied marine animals Lancelet Although they seem like simple animals, fossil evidence indicates that they are distant relatives of ours! Tunicate
51
phylum Chordata Also commonly called “vertebrates”
Have backbone(vertebrae) plus other bones dorsal, hollow nerve cord which develops into the spinal cord developed brain and nervous system
52
Jawless fish- skeleton of cartilage, open gills and no jaw.
Here are the 7 Classes of Chordates: Jawless fish- skeleton of cartilage, open gills and no jaw. Hagfish Lamprey
53
Cartilaginous fish- these fish have skeletons of cartilage, open gills, but definitely jaws
Great White Shark Hammerhead Shark Manta Ray
54
Bony Fish -most common of the fish, bony skeleton, gill covers
Parrotfish Sea Horse Walleye Goldfish
55
Amphibians- Adapted to life in wet places. Must
return to water to reproduce. smooth, moist skin. Ectothermic-like the fish, their body temperature is controlled by the external environment. “cold-blooded” Toad Frog Salamander Tadpole
56
Reptiles- scaly skin, ectothermic, lay shelled eggs on land
Komodo Dragon Painted turtle
57
Tortoise Crocodile Rattlesnake Python
58
Birds- lays eggs on land, feathers
endothermic- body maintains a constant temperature “warm-blooded” Egret Robin Hummingbird Some can fly
59
Penguin Some can’t fly Emu Chicken Ostrich
60
Mammals- hair or fur, live births, endothermic, produce food for young in mammary glands
Bat Dugong nursing young Chipmunk Giraffe
61
Mammals are most versatile of all animals,
living in all sorts of habitats.
62
Humans are mammals too, belonging in the order: Primates
Humans are mammals too, belonging in the order: Primates. Here are some of our close relatives
