Animal Kingdom
2
Features that Animals Share
They are heterotrophs (can not make their own food) Can perform rapid, complex movements Multicellular Sexually reproduce Absence of a cell wall Tissues – specialized function
3
Most Have Symmetry Radial symmetry – body parts arranged around a central axis Bilateral symmetry – body design with distinct right and left halves Asymmetrical – irregular in shape
4
Phylum Porifera (Sponges)
Multicellular marine animals Don’t move (anchored to rocks or the bottom) Asymetrical symmetry Internal skeletons of spicules Pores that water flows through for feeding Single opening for outgoing water
6
Phylum Cnidarians Jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones
Have stinging cells Marine and freshwater animals Radial symmetry Two body forms: polyps and medusa (free swimming) Two layers of cells that are tissues
8
Phylum Platyhelminthes
Flatworms Flat body with single opening Bilateral symmetry Many are parasites (live off of another animal) Tapeworms and flukes
10
Phylum Nematoda Roundworms Tube within a tube body
Two openings (mouth, anus) Simplest digestive system Some free living and some parasitic Hookworms, pinworms, trichinella
11
Phylum Mollusca Bilateral symmetry Three part body plan:
Visceral mass – the organs Mantle – an outer layer of heavy tissue Foot – muscle used for locomotion Organ systems: digestion, excretion, circulation, respiration, and reproduction
12
Phylum Mollusca Shell One – snails Two – clams None – slug Radula – (except bivalves) a rasping tongue-like organ for scraping Cephalopods – most intelligent of invertabrates
13
Phylum Mollusca Snails Slugs Octopus Squid Clams Mussels Oysters
14
Phylum Annelida Segmented worms
Fossils found in rock that is 530 million years old Has digestive, excretory, circulatory, and locomotive organs
15
Phylum Annelida Has a primitive brain
Has a nerve cord that runs along the underside Have bristles called setae to help them move Earthworms and leeches
16
Phylum Arthopoda Jointed appendages Segmentation
Head with compound eyes Exoskeleton (outside) Respiratory structures Open circulatory system Some have wings
17
Phylum Arthopoda Class Diplopoda – millipedes
Class Chilopoda – centipedes Class Insects – 3 segments, 3 legs Grasshopper – chewing/biting mandible Mosquito – piercing/sucking mandible Fly – sponging/lapping mandible
18
Phylum Arthopoda Class Arachnida – 2 segments, 8 legs
Spiders, scorpions, ticks, and mites Carnivores except for mites Some are poisonous
19
Phylum Arthopoda Subphylum Crustacae – 2 segments, 5 pairs of legs
Molt or shed their exoskeleton to grow Respiration with gills Two pairs of antennae Crabs, lobsters, shrimp, pill bugs
20
Phylum Echinodermata Spiny skin Endoskeleton Five-part radial symmetry
Water-vascular system No head or brain Tube feet Sea stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, sea cucumbers
22
Phylum Chordata Notochord that develops along the back of the embryo
Have a single hollow nerve chord down their back Not all develop into backbones
23
Vertebrates Chordates with a backbone Endoskeleton Bilateral symmetry
Two pairs of jointed appendages Complex brains and sense organs Closed circulatory system with a chambered heart Organ systems: nervous, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, reproductive, excretory
24
Vertebrates Classes Jawless Fish Cartilaginous Fish Bony fish
Amphibians Reptiles Birds Mammals
25
Jawless Fish Gill slits Single loop blood cirulation No jaws No scales
No paired fins Cartilage skeleton Example: Lamprey
26
Cartilaginous Fish Has a jaw Has paired fins
Reinforced cartilage skeleton Rough tooth-like scales Gill slits Examples: sharks and rays
28
Bony fish Gill covers Has a jaw Has paired fins Bony skeleton
Lateral line Swim bladder Scales Examples: most fish, 95% of fish
30
Amphibians Adapted to land Legs Lungs (some skin breathing)
Double loop circulation Heart to deliver oxygen more efficiently Need water to reproduce Eggs are not watertight, no shell Metamorphosis – tadpole to adult Ectothermic – body temperatures change Examples: frogs, toads, salamanders
32
Reptiles Adapted to land Legs have scales, watertight skin Lungs
Heart to deliver oxygen more efficiently Eggs have a leathery shell Ectothermic – body temperatures change Examples: turtles, lizards
33
Reptiles Dinosaurs were reptiles Four living lines: Turtles
Snakes and lizards Crocodiles and alligators Tuataras
35
Birds Largest group of terrestrial vertebrates Beaks Wings
Hollow bones Feathers Scales on their legs Endodermic – constant body temperature Eggs have hard, watertight shells
36
Birds Beaks and legs differ according to use: Birds of prey Songbirds
Water birds Flightless birds
38
Mammals Hair Diverse and specialized teeth Endothermic Mammary glands
Unborn young nourished by a placenta
39
Mammals Reproduce in three ways: Monotremes – Lay eggs then feed milk
Marsupials – Feed in a pouch Placental – Unborn young nourished by a placenta
40
Placental Mammals Orders
Rontentia – mice, guinea pigs Chiroptera – bats Insectivora – shrew Carnivora – flesh-eating Pinnipedia – marine carnivores Primate – monkeys and apes
41
Placental Mammals Orders
Artiodactyla – split hooves Perissodactyla – odd number of toes, horses Cetacea – whales and dolphins Lagomorpha – rabbits Sirenia – manatees Probiscidea – elephants
