Animals are

- multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes


- lack cell walls


- have specialized cells/tissue


- nervous tissue and muscle tissue are unique to animals

parthenogenesis

eggs and embryos develop without fertilization




ex. aphids

Budding

Production of new individuals from external tissue or cells of the parent




ex. phylum cnidaria (jellyfish, hydra, obelia, corals

Life cycle of Obelia


Simple life cycle

The embryo develops directly into a form that resembles adult

Complex life cycle

Contains stages that do not resemble the adult form (larval stages)




ex. metamorphosis

Cleavage

- fertilization is followed by cleavage, a period of rapid cell division without growth




- cleavage partitions the cytoplasm of one large cell into many smaller cells called blastomeres

Initial stages of cleavage (simple animals)



Differentiation in to germ layers (complex animals)

ectoderm - skin, nervous system, epithelial lining of mouth and rectum
endoderm - epithelial lining of digestive, respiratory and reproductive system
mesoderm - skeletal muscle, circulation and lymphatic sys.

ectoderm - skin, nervous system, epithelial lining of mouth and rectum

sea anemone, jellyfish, sponge

cnidarians

medusa, polyp

flatworms

nematodes

annelids

earthworm

echinoderms

starfish

mollusks

clam, snail, octopus

arthropods

centipdes, insects, tarantulas

evolutionarily significant changes in animals

1. specialized tissue


2. type of symmetry and number of germ layer


3. cephalization


4. body cavity (coelom)


5. fate of blsatopore (protosotomes vs deuterostomes)


6. types of skeleton

classification based on symmetery

asymmetrical


radial symmetry (2 germs layers)


bilateral symmetry (3 germs layers)

classification based presence of a head (cephalization)

cephalization: concentration of sensory and feeding structures

classification based on body cavity (coelom)

coelom: a body cavity completely lined by tissue derived from mesoderm

coelom: a body cavity completely lined by tissue derived from mesoderm

classification based on the fate of blastopore

classification based on type of skeleton

1. hydrostatic skeleton: fluid-filled body cavity surrounded by muscles. Muscles contract to against the fluid and facilitated movement (starfish, earthworm, polyp, etc)




2. exoskeleton: an external skeleton made up of chitin that supports and protects the animal




3. endoskeleton: an internal skeleton that supports the animal

Summary of invertebrate characteristics


Characteristics of mollusks

1. Gills for gas exchange – first animals to develop specific organs to exchange gas.


2. Open circulatory system (for most) and digestive system (with stomach)


3. Radula for scraping food


4. Soft body (for most) with muscular foot


5. Mantle – secrets material that hardens into shell for protection


6. Sexual reproduction

Three classes of mollusks

bivalves, gastropods, cephalopods

class bivalves

1. Two shells - held together by strong adductor muscle


2. Muscular foot specialized for digging


3. Not cephalized


4. Open circulatory system


5. Underdeveloped nervous system


6. Filter feeders




e.g. clams

General Anatomy of Bivalves

class gastropods

1. Move by contraction of foot


2. Single shell (except for slugs)


3. Cephalized


4. Presence of tentacles with eyes at the top


5. Usually herbivores – use radula to scrape food


6. Open circulatory system




e.g. snails, slugs

general anatomy of gastropods

Cephalopods

e.g. cuttlefish, squid, octopus




1. most advanced - well developed nervous and sensory systems


2. fast moving - propel by ejecting water at high speed using exhalent siphon


3. closed circulatory system


4. no external shell - small internal shell


5. predators

General anatomy of cephalopods


Characteristics of Arthropods

Abdomen, thorax, head (insect)


or abdomen, cephalothorax (crayfish)




1. jointed appendages - modified for different functions


2. segmented body - tagmosis (merging of segments)


3. exoskeleton made up of chitin (shed by molting)


4. open circulatory system


5. drosal brain and ventral nerve cord

Four major groups of arthropods

Crustaceans


Arachnids


Myriapoda


Hexapods

Crustacean

- mostly aquatic


- scavengers


- well-developed nervous and sensory system (eyes and antenna)

Hexapods

- Insects


- More species of hexapods than all other forms combined. live in every terrestrial habitat and fresh water


- three body segments (head, thorax and abdomen)


- undergo metamorphosis

Adaptation and specialization contributing to success of insects

- two pairs of wings (highly motile)


- highly reproductive


- social intelligence

Complete metamorphosis

Young (larvae) looks completely different from adult

Young (larvae) looks completely different from adult

Incomplete metamorphosis

Young (nymph) resembles adult and undergoes a series of molts until maturity

Young (nymph) resembles adult and undergoes a series of molts until maturity

Subphyla of Chordates

1. Urochordata (invertebrate)


2. Cephalochordata (invertebrate)




3. Vertebrate

Chordates' defining characteristics

Notochord, pharyngeal slits, dorsal hollow nerve cord, tail

Notochord

- a longitudinal, flexible rod between the digestive tube and nerve cord


- provides skeletal support throughout most of the length of a chordate


- in most vertebrates, a more complex, jointed skeleton develops and the adult only retains remnants of the embryonic notochord (e.g. gelatinous material btwn. the vertebrae)

Dorsal, hollow nerve cord

The nerve cord of a chordate embryo develops from a plate of ectoderm that rolls into a tube dorsal to the notochord




The nerve cord develops into the central nervous system: the brain and the spinal cord

pharyngeal gill slits

- slits that open to the outside of the body


- develop into gills for gas exchange in fish and suspension-feeding devices for filter feeders


- give rise to jaws, ear, larynx and throat in amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals

muscular, post-anal tail

- A tail that extends posterior to the anus


- It provides propelling force in many aquatic species


- In many species, the tail is lost during embryonic development

Milestones in evolution of bony fish

Sexual maturity (motility) -> Cranium (protection of the brain) -> evolution of vertebral column, jaw and fins (increase motility, protection of vital organs and access to food) -> evolution of bony vertebral column and cranium (extra protection and skeletal support)

Main evolutionary pressures from moving onto land

1. extra food source (insects mainly)


2. attempt to avoid predators
