Phylum Cnidaria

Cnidarians are soft bodied carnivores with radial symmetry, stinging tentacles, and only one opening (mouth / anus)

Cnidarians have

Cnidocytes (stinging cells) with nematocysts (harpoon like poison filled structure)

Three Cnidarian layers

Ectoderm (outer layer)


Mesoglea (jelly like with neural network)


Gastroderm (where digestion takes place in gastrovascular cavity)

Two Cnidarian life stages:

Polyp: sessile with tentacles up


Medusa: motile with tentacles down

Feeding Cnidarian

Catches prey with tentacles and pulls into the gastrovascular cavity


Digestion takes place and nutrients are absorbed through the gastroderm


Waste materials are released back out the mouth

Cnidarian Respiration, circulation, and excretion

All occurs through diffusion through body wall

Cnidarian Response

Loose association of nerves create a neural network in mesoglea


Statocysts enable the cnidarian to detect gravity


Ocelli are light detecting organs

Cnidarian Movement

Circular and longitudinal muscles enable movement

Cnidarian Reproduction

Asexually. Polyps can bud off new organisms.




Sexually. Separate medusa sexes release eggs and sperm into water (external fertilization) The fertilized egg then grows into a free swimming larvae. Larvae eventually settle and form a polyp stage. The polyp then buds off new medusa.

3 classes of Cnidaria

Scyphozoa


Jellyfish (medusa major life stage)




Hydrozoa


Branching polyp colonies




Anthozoa


Contains anemones and corals (polyp major life stage)

Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms)

Flatworms are soft bodied , flattened worms that are acoelomate and have bilateral symmetry with cephalization


Flatworms can be free living or parasitic

Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) feeding

Free living flatworms Carnivore scavengers that suck up material through a pharynx into a gastrovascular cavity. Food is digested and distributed by the cavity. Waste is released back out into the pharynx.

Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) parasitic

Do not have a complex digestive system, rather, they just absorb nutrients through the body by diffusion

Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) Respiration, Circulation & Excretion

Bodies are thin and flat so they rely on diffusion of materials through the body wall


Some free living flatworms have flame cells that act to filter metabolic waste and remove it.

Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) Response

Cephalized with an aggregation of neurons (ganglia) and sense organs


Two nerve cords run down the body


May have eyespots to detect light


Parasitic flatworms have a much simpler nervous system

Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) Movement

Free living flatworms have cilia that allow them to glide through the water and wiggle their muscles

Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) Reproduction

Asexual: Fragmentation (fission) by splitting into 2 pieces


Sexual: Most are hermaphrodites (male and female)


Parasitic: Complex life cycles with more than 1 host

Three Classes of Flatworms

Turbellaria: Free living marine or fresh water


Trematoda (Flukes): Parasites that infect the internal organs of the host


Cestoda: Parasitic tapeworms. Infect the digestive system of the host.

Phylum Nematode (roundworms)

Slender unsegmented worms that have a pseudocoelom

Phylum Nematode (roundworms) feeding

Nematodes are the first organisms to have a digestive system with a mouth and an anus!!


Most nematodes are free living (carnivores or decomposers)


Some are internal parasites

Phylum Nematode (roundworms) Respiration, Circulation, Excretion

Due to their small size they rely on diffusion of gasses and wastes through their body wall

Phylum Nematode (roundworms) Response

Simple nervous system consisting of several ganglia (groups of neurons), but no brain

Phylum Nematode (roundworms) Movement

Longitudinal muscles as well as a pseudocoelom filled with fluid acts as a hydrostatic skeleton


Contraction of the muscles allows movement

Phylum Nematode (roundworms) Reproduction

All Sexual


Most have separate sexes


Internal Fertilization

There are many species of nematodes that are human parasites. E.g. :

There are many species of nematodes that are human parasites. E.g. :

Phylum Nematode (roundworms) Trichinosis

Adults live and mate in intestinesLarvae burrow into muscles of host and form painful cystsAnother animal eats the host and the cysts hatch

Phylum Nematode (roundworms) Filarial

Transmitted from 1 host to another by biting insects (mosquitoes)Live in the blood and lymphatic systemCan cause elephantiasis

Phylum Nematode (roundworms) Ascarid

Human ingests fecal contaminated food or water


Eggs travel to intestine and hatch


Larvae burrow into blood stream and travel to lungs


Larvae coughed up and swallowed back into stomach and intestines


Larvae are now adults, reproduce and release eggs into feces


Ascarid worms absorbs the nutrients from the host

Phylum Nematode (roundworms) Hookworms

Eggs hatch in soil


Larvae burrow into host in-between their toes


Travel through the blood to the lungs and are swallowed into the intestines


They latch into the walls of the intestine and feed on blood

Phylum Annelida

Annelids are segmented worms with a true coelom


The individual segments are separated internally by walls called septa


All segments (except for near the head) are identical


Each segment has its own set of external appendages called setae



Phylum Annelida Feeding

Can be carnivores, decomposers, or filter feeders


Have pharynx that have specialized feeding structures


Food moves through the esophagus then a crop (storage) and a gizzard (grinding)


Nutrients are absorbed into each segment through the intestine


Waste is removed out the anus

Phylum Annelida Circulation

Closed circulatory system (blood never leaves a vessel)


Blood moves towards the head in the dorsal blood vessel


A set of 5 pairs of ring vessels acts as a heart to pump blood


Ventral blood vessel carries blood towards rear of worm

Phylum Annelida Respiration

Aquatic annelids have gills


Terrestrial annelids require moist skin to allow transport across it

Phylum Annelida Excretion

Each segment has a pair of nephridia that removes wastes

External Parasites

Phylum Mollusca

Molluscs are soft bodied animals that have a free swimming trochophore larvae stage

Phylum Mollusca, Four Body Parts

Muscular foot: locomotion


Visceral mass: internal organs


Mantle: thin layer of tissue that covers body


Shell: may or may not be present

Phylum Mollusca, Feeding

Snails have a rasp like tongue called a radula to scrape


Octopi have a beak for ripping and tearing


Clams have a siphon that draws water in to be filtered

Phylum Mollusca, Respiration

Aquatic Molluscs have gills inside the mantle cavity


Terrestrial Molluscs maintain a moist mantle to exchange gases

Phylum Mollusca, Circulation

Snails and clams have an open system (blood flows through a few vessels and a heart, but also leaves a vessel and is free to slosh around the body cavity)


Octopi have a closed system as it is more efficient

Phylum Mollusca, Excretion

Nephridia release waste outside body

Phylum Mollusca, Response

Clams do not have brain or complex nervous system


Snails have a simple brain and senses


Octopi have well developed brain and senses

Phylum Mollusca, Movement

Clams dig with their foot


Snails glide on mucus and muscular contractions of the foot


Octopi have their foot divided into tentacles as well as can shoot water out of their siphon

Phylum Mollusca, Reproduction

Many different strategies


- separate sexes or hermaphrodites


- simple molluscs tend to externally fertilize


- higher molluscs can internally fertilize

All members of Kingdom Animalia are:

Eukaryotic


Multicellular


Heterotrophic


Lack cell walls

Kingdom Animalia is the:

Largest Kingdom:


95 percent of species are invertebrates (lack a backbone)


5 percent of species are vertebrates (have a backbone)

All Animals must:

Feed:


Must ingest food (other organisms) to supply them with molecules for raw materials and energy




Perform Respiration


Must obtain oxygen as a reactant for aerobic cellular respiration


Must get rid of carbon dioxide as a waste product of aerobic cellular respiration




Perform Circulation


Many large animals require a delivery system for nutrients and wastes


Small animals can rely on simple diffusion




Perform Excretion


Must be able to get rid of metabolic wastes


These are usually nitrogenous compounds (urea, ammonia)



Must Respond to Environment


Must be able to detect stimuli in the environment and respond in an appropriate manner




Movement


Most animals move at some point in their life (motile)


Some animals do not move at some point of their life (sessile)



Reproduction


Must continue the species by making new members


Can be sexual or asexual

Animals, Cell Specialization

Over time the cells that make up organisms have become more specialized to perform specific functions

Animals, Development

Development refers to the growth of a single celled zygote into a complete organism


The embryo (solid ball of cells) eventually forms a blastula (hollow ball of cells)




The blastula eventually gastrulates, forming a tube through the middle




There are 2 different types of gastrulation




Protostome: size of gastrulation forms the mouth


Deuterstome: size of gastrulation forms the anus



Animals, After gastrulation, 3 types of germ tissues are formed:

Ectoderm: becomes nerves, sense organs, and skin



Mesoderm: becomes muscles, circulatory, reproductive, and excretory systems




Endoderm: becomes the digestive tract and the respiratory system

Animals, Body Symmetry

Early animals have no symmetry


The first type of symmetry we see is radial symmetry (infinite lines of symmetry)


Pentaradial symmetry has 5 lines of symmetry


Bilateral symmetry has only 1 line of symmetry and is the most advanced


This gives creatures an anterior (front), posterior (rear), dorsal (back), and ventral (belly) sides


Bilateral symmetry also allows cephalization:


a concentration of nervous tissues and sense organs at the anterior of the animal

Animals, Body Cavity Formation

Early animals are solid with no body cavity (acoelom)


More advanced animals have a tube (pseudocoelom)


The most advanced animals have the inner tube suspended within the outer tube (coelom)

Phylum Porifera (Sponges)

Sponges are asymmetrical sessile filter feeders with only a few specialized structures


They consist of a body wall with pores, a central cavity, and an osculum to allow water out


Within the body walls, there are a few specialized cells:


Epidermal cells cover the outside of the sponge


Pore cells allow water to flow through the body wall


Choanocytes are flagellated cells that create the water flow


Archaeocytes are amoeba like cells that wander through the sponge and distribute nutrients and make spicules (protein skeleton of the sponge)



Phylum Porifera (Sponges), Characteristics of Life

Feeding, respiration, circulation, and excretion are all accomplished by the water flow through the body wall and out the osculum


Sponges have no nervous system and so there is very little response to the environment (some sponges do produce a toxin)



Phylum Porifera (Sponges), Reproduction

Sponges can reproduce asexually or sexually


Asexually- a new sponge buds off the parent or by releasing gemmules (archaeocytes covered in spicules into the water)


Sexually- sperm are released into the water and fertilization occurs in the body wall of the sponge (internal fertilization). The zygote grows into a free swimming larvae that settles in a new location.
