animal
Are eukaryotic, multicellular, heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by ingestion
Digest their food within their bodies..
Eukaryotic-
nucleus
Heterotrophic-
take food from outside
Autotrophic-
self made food
Animal Phylogeny
depend on clues from comparative anatomy and embryology
Four key evolutionary branch points
Presence or absence of true tissues
Radial or bilateral symmetry
Presence or absence of a body cavity (coelom)
Mechanism of coelom formation..
Coelom –
true body cavity
Pseudocoelum –
false body cavity
Body Cavity-
space between systems in the body [digestive respiratory]
Chordates –
lizards reptiles animals mammals
Phylum Porifera
Includes sessile animals once believed to be plants
Lack true tissues
Resembles a sac perforated with holes (pores)
Draws water into a central cavity, where food is collected..
Sponges-
Phylum porifera
No digestive tract
Just have one openings
Phylum Cnidaria-
-radial symmetry and tentacles with stinging cells (cnidocytes
Sac body plan with a gastrovascular cavity
Do not have true organs
Life cycle includes two body forms:
Sessile polyp
Floating medusa..
Cnidarians
are carnivores that use tentacles armed with cnidocytes, or “stinging cells,” to capture prey..
Phylum Platyhelminthes
simplest bilateral animals
Have true organs but no body cavity – acoelomate
Digestive tract is two directional – only one opening = incomplete digestive tract
Includes free-living forms such as planarian
Includes many parasitic forms such as tapeworms and flukes..
Flat worms –
no body cavity /acoelomate
Structure of flat worms
Don’t have developed brain
Have nervous tissue clusters
One opening – incomplete digestive system
Phylum Nematoda
exhibit an important evolutionary adaptation; a digestive tube with two openings, a mouth and an anus
A complete digestive tract can process food and absorb nutrients efficiently
Only phylum with a pseudocoelom.
nematodas
Only animal with false body cavities//pseudocoelom –
Phylum Mollusca
soft-bodied animals, but most are protected by a hard shell
-Muscular foot; maybe modified into tentacles – for locomotion and defense and food gathering
-Mantle – secretes shell and aids in respiration
-Visceral mass containing internal organs
-First group with a true coelom – eucoelomates..
Mollusa
Nervous tissue isnt developed much =/
Digestive tract is very developed
Heart is still developing – not as developed as humans
Kidneys are developed but not very effiicent
Phylum Annelida
Includes worms with body segmentation – division of the body along into length into a series of repeated segments; look like rings..
(cnidocytes
tentacles with stinging cells
acoelomate
true organs but no body cavity –
Visceral mass
containing internal organs
– eucoelomates..
First group with a true coelom
Phylum Arthropoda
-All have exoskeleton of chitin
-Appendages are jointed
-Appendages are highly specialized
-Undergo metamorphosis
- largest group of animals
Includes insects
Metamorphosis
= egg  larva  pupa  adult..
Phylum Echinodermata
-Is named for the spiny surfaces of the organisms
-Have endoskeleton
-Have water-vascular system – hydraulic pumps that circulate water for gas-exchange, waste disposal, circulation of nutrients, and locomotion with tube feet
-All aquatic..
Phylum Chordata – all possess these characters at some point during development
Have notochord = supporting rod of tissue; becomes vertebrae in one subphylum
Have dorsal, hollow nerve cord
Have post-anal tail
Have pharyngeal pouches..
Dorsal
-back
Ventral-
front
Pharyngeal-
structure in embryo; form heart, lungs, resp system- like stem cells- undifferentiated
Tunucates and lancelets
don’t have vertibrates- aquatic animals
chordata subphyla
include the invertebrate chordates – lancelets (cephalochordata) and tunicates (urochordata), which also share four key chordate characteristics..
Cepthalo
-head
uro
tail
Cephalochordata-
notochord in the head region
urochordata
notochord in the tail region
Cartilaginous fishes
have a flexible skeleton made of cartilage; the only bone is found in the jaw
Includes sharks, rays, and skates.
Chitin
- exoskeleton
Bony Fish
-Have a skeleton reinforced by hard calcium salts
-Have a lateral line system, a keen sense of smell, and excellent eyesight
-Most bony fishes are ray-finned fishes
-A second evolutionary branch includes lungfishes and lobe-finned fishes..
tetrapods
terrestrial vertebrate
"4 legs"
Class Amphibia
Exhibit a mixture of aquatic and terrestrial adaptations
Usually need water to reproduce..
class reptila
can live totally on land
Have scales to prevent dehydration
Have claws for digging and protection
Have lungs for breathing
First group to develop the amniotic egg
Class Aves
Evolved the ability to fly and only animals with feathers
Bird anatomy and physiology are modified for flight
Bones are honeycombed, which makes them lighter
Some specific organs are absent, which reduces weight
A warm, constant body temperature is maintained through endothermy..
Endotherm-
can keep body temperature constant
class mammalia
hair, mammary glands
mostly terrestrial
monotremes, marsupials, eutherians
monotremes
lay eggs (duck bill platus, porkipine)
marsupials
no placenta (kangaroo)
eutherians
placenta mammals- nourish young
