Amphibians Mammals Aviary Commissary Annelids Round Worms Sponge LHS Virtual Zoo Welcome Echinoderm Flatworms Quiz House

4 Coelenterates Check this out !
Included: Hydra, Jellyfish, Coral, Sea Anemones Check this out !

5 Coelenterates have a simple digestive system called the gastrovascular cavity.
They are made up of three main body layers 1. epidermis: outer body 2. gastroderm: inner surface of the gastrovascular cavity 3. mesoglea: jelly-like material found between layers Coelenterates feed on small animals captured with their nemotocysts, (Stinging Cells) which are located on the tentacle. Coelenterates lack muscles to help them move about. Most Coelenterates expand and contract the epidermis cells in the tentacles in order to help them move about. Coelenterates can reproduce both sexually and asexually. . Coelenterates have radial symmetry.

6 Coelenterates - Eating
Nematocysts are poison filled sacs on a spring. When they are touched, it darts off, explodes and buries itself into the skin of the animal. The dart paralyzes the prey so the cnidarian can attack. It uses it's tentacles to shove the prey into it's mouth. Most of the food is digested, but some waste is released back out the mouth. Coelenterates contain a very simple nervous system called a nerve net that is concentrated around the mouth. Back to the Map!

11 Need a BREAK

12 Tension Breaker Had to be done!

13 Yummy

14 This zoo is more fun than a Barrel of Monkeys?

15 Click on the photo to go there!
Map Amphibians Include: Frogs, Toads, Salamanders and Newts. General Characteristics: Ectothermic – Cold-Blooded Reproduction and development must take place in water Thin skin that contains mucus-secreting glands Two pair of limbs for walking, jumping and swimming One pair nostrils connected to the Oral cavity Three chambered heart (Two Atria – One Ventricle) Metamorphosis during development from juvenile to adult form Click on the photo to go there!

16 Salamanders and Newts Have Tails even as adults
Long bodies and tails with four short limbs Feed on fish, snails, insects, worms and other salamanders Some are entirely aquatic which never lose their juvenile gills Others live on land in moist regions breathing with lungs

17 Salamanders and Newts We are really the same thing as a salamander!
Have Tails even as adults Long bodies and tails with four short limbs Feed on fish, snails, insects, worms and other salamanders Some are entirely aquatic which never lose their juvenile gills Others live on land in moist regions breathing with lungs We are really the same thing as a salamander!

18 Toads Adults have short squat bodies
No tails Adults have short squat bodies Strong hind legs well suited for jumping Dry, rough, warty skin Can survive away from water Burrow in daytime to avoid sun Hibernate during the winter underground Feed on insects and worms

19 Frogs No tails Adults have short squat bodies Strong hind legs well suited for jumping Thin, moist skin that is loosely attached to their body Live near water Hibernate during the winter in mud at the bottom of water body Feed on insects and worms Larval form called a tadpole Click for more about Frogs Sounds

20 What about Reproduction!
Frogs and toads protect themselves by; 1. Camouflage 2. Jumping ability 3. Diving underwater or out onto land 4. Unpleasant taste or poison produced by glands in the skin What about Reproduction! Click me!

21 Reproduction of the frog
Frogs mate externally releasing millions of eggs and sperm into the water. The male will grasp the female with its front legs helping her squeeze her eggs out and ensuring his sperm have a better chance of fertilization. After 6 – 9 days eggs hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles have no legs or lungs. They breathe with gills and swim with tails. Tadpoles have a two-chambered heart. Metamorphosis ranges between three months to several years. During this time the tadpole reabsorbs the tail, grows legs and develops lungs.

22 Reptiles Include: Turtles Lizards Snakes Alligators Crocodiles

23 General Characteristics:
Ectothermic – Cold-Blooded Live on land (some aquatic) Internal Fertilization & external development - Lay eggs Thick leathery eggshell protects egg No metamorphosis during lifecycle Dry scaly skin – protects against desiccation Two pair of legs (*except snakes) Five clawed toes per foot* Circulation – three chambered heart (two Atria – one partially separated Ventricle) Partial separation restricts mixing of oxygenated & deoxygenated blood to body cells. Crocodiles and alligators have four chambered hearts. Excretion – Nitrogenous waste is excreted as Uric Acid making the urine a semisolid paste. This adaptation helps conserve water.

24 Snakes No legs, or ear openings Immovable eyelids
Different size scales Found in all biomes Feed on many small animals Forked tongue contains odor-sensing organs that pick up scents and deliver them to the Jacobson’s organs in the roof of the mouth Deaf to airborne sounds but feel ground vibrations Pit Vipers have heat-detecting organs between nostrils and eyes

25 Click on photo for fullscreen
Eating – Some snakes swallow their prey alive while others kill it before swallowing. Large snakes such as pythons and Boas crush their prey or suffocate it using their body coils before swallowing. Poisonous snakes have specialized teeth called fangs that are connected to their salivary glands where poison or venom is made. Venom is pumped into bite through hollow or grooved fang. Neurotoxin – attacks nervous system, paralyzing victim Hemotoxin – attack RBC and other blood vessels Snakes can swallow prey many times larger than their mouth by dislocating their jaw. Teeth are angled backwards to prevent food from escaping. Ribs expand because they are only attached on one side. Windpipe is projected forward so the snake can breathe throughout the long swallowing process. After a large meal a snake can go weeks or even months without feeding. Click on photo for fullscreen

26 Always during Dinner!

27 That’s a Gazelle this African Rock Python is eating!

28 Website may take time to load.
Crocodiles & Alligators Largest living reptiles Located in Tropical wetlands Alligator – Fresh Water only Crocodile – Both Salt & Fresh Strong muscular tails used for swimming Long snout with powerful jaws Teeth are arranged differently Alligator – Teeth enclosed Broad snout Less aggressive Crocodile –Teeth exposed Pointed snout More aggressive Feed on animals captured by ambush Website may take time to load.

29 Turtles Found on land, marine and fresh water
Body enclosed in protective shell Carapace (top) Plastron (bottom) Feed on plants and small animals No teeth – tear food with a hard, sharp beak Internal Fertilization & External Development (Lay eggs on land)

30 Lizards Four legs with claws Uniform Scales Movable eyelids
External ear openings Live in all biomes Feed on varied food (Insects, small animals, eggs, plants, etc…) Defenses vary but include; removable tails, coloration, poison

31 Fish – There are Four Classes of fish
Jawless Fish make up two individual classes that are the most primitive vertebrates. Cartilage Fish - Sharks and Rays Bony Fish - Bluefish, Flounder

32 Lampreys No true jaw. Long snake-like bodies with smooth scales on skin. Two single dorsal fins and one tailfin. Skeleton composed of cartilage. External fertilization and development. Found in fresh and salt water. Most are parasites, attaching to the side of larger fish with suction cup mouth and gnawing a hole into the side to drink blood and body fluids. Mate in fresh water streams where they remain for 3 to 7 years. Adults only live one or two years. See Lamprey’s feed

33 Lamprey

34 Hagfish Long snake-like bodies with smooth scales on skin.
Two single dorsal fins and one tail fin. No true jaw. Skeleton composed of cartilage. External fertilization and development. Found only in salt water. Feed on dead animals at the bottom of the ocean. Skin gland produce large quantities of slime when threatened.

35 Cartilaginous Fish Include: sharks, rays and skates
Skeleton completely made of cartilage. Movable upper and lower jaws with sharp teeth. Two chambered hearts. Feed on a variety of food.

36 Cartilaginous Fish - Skates and Rays
Flattened wing like bodies with whip-like tails Live on ocean floor Feed on worms, mollusks and crustaceans Defense includes; poison stingers, electric charges

37 Sharks Streamlined fish that move with their tails
Swimming forces water over gills and out five or seven pairs of gill slits. If a shark stops moving it will die due to lack of oxygen. Internal Fertilization and both internal and external development Well-developed sense of smell and vibration Most Feed on fish and some feed on Plankton Skin covered with placoid scales (tough, tooth- like scales)

38 Bony Fish Largest class of vertebrates. Skeleton made of bone.
Paired fins. Protective, overlapping scales. Body form varies from the eel to the Seahorse with most following the streamlined body construction as in the Perch. Fins made of bone and cartilage connected with skin webbing. Fins aid maintaining balance and movement.

39 Defense includes; sharp spines, inflation, flying,
Bony Fish (Cont.) Gills provide oxygen but unlike sharks fish can draw water over gills. Two Chambered heart (One Atria & One Ventricle) Swim Bladder helps fish maintain buoyancy Fertilization and development are external Defense includes; sharp spines, inflation, flying, strong electric charge, poison, etc

40 Sponge Simplest of all animals Contain many pores through which
water flows continuously All sponges are aquatic Adults are sessile (don’t move) Larvae are free swimming Size and shape vary widely Many different colors Click me

41 You’re a good Sport and Hopefully your learning a thing or two!

42 Three layer body composition
Outer layer composed of thin epidermal cells Middle layer filled with gel and amebocytes (Wandering cells) Amebocytes secrete spicules which provide support Inner layer contains collar cells and have a flagellum for food gathering The beating of the collar cells and their flagellum create a current drawing water through sponge and out the Osculum (top) Respiration is by diffusion Reproduction either asexual (budding) or sexual (gametes)

43 I am NOT a Fish! Echinoderms (Spiny Skinned Animals) Includes;
More Echinoderms (Spiny Skinned Animals) Includes; Starfish, Sea Cucumbers and Sand Dollars I am NOT a Fish!

44 All Marine living on the ocean floor Larva have Bilateral Symmetry
Adults have Radial Symmetry (demonstration) Internal skeleton which provides support and protection Skeleton composed of hard calcified plates embedded in the body wall Spiny projections stick out the body wall Click

45 Sea Star OUCH !! That’s Better Regeneration Click
Most have five arms radiating from a central disk (can have as many as 20) Respiration is conducted by diffusion across the skin gills Fertilization and development are external Sea Stars can regenerate lost body parts OUCH !! That’s Better Regeneration Click

46 Feed on clams and oysters, prying the prey open using its tube feet
Feed on clams and oysters, prying the prey open using its tube feet. It then inserts stomach through opening. Enzymes are secreted partially digesting the prey which is reabsorbed by the stomach and fully digested in the arms of the sea star. Move utilizing a water-vascular system Dorsal surface has a Sieve plate into which sea water enters traveling through a series of canals to the tube feet on each radial arm. If water is pumped out of the tube feet the sea star creates a suction within the cup and can grasp the object. If water is pumped into the tube feet the sea star releases its suction and therefore lets go.

47 Flat Worms Include; Free living flatworms (planarian),
Parasitic flukes, Parasitic tapeworms General Characteristics Bilateral symmetry Flattened bodies Three body layers Ectoderm – outside Mesoderm – middle Endoderm – inside Planarian Flukes Tapeworm

48 Planarian Live in fresh water Gray, brown or black in color
Triangular head with eyespots (detect light intensity) When eating pharynx is projected out the mouth and sucks small bits of food in Excretion occurs through the oral cavity No skeletal, respiratory or circulatory systems (Diffusion) Hermaphroditic with no self-fertilization Internal fertilization and external development

49 Flukes Parasitic Body covered with thick cuticle, which protects it from host’s Immune System. Suckers help it attach to host intestinal blood vessels Eat pre-digested food Reproduction 1. Eggs laid in and removed by host excretory system 2. Eggs hatch into free swimming larvae in water 3. Larvae enter snails and reproduce asexually 4. New organisms leave snail and infect water sources 5. Flukes bore into host through skin Cause; loss of blood, diarrhea, severe pain

50 Tapeworm Parasitic Long ribbon-like body form
Four to nine meters in length Contain excretory, nervous and highly developed reproductive systems Lack mouths and digestive systems Scolex (head) contain hooks and/or suckers to hold themselves in the intestinal tract of host Digested food diffuse into tapeworm’s body Reproduction

51 Reproduction 1. Beneath head is a region of reproduction which makes
more segments 2. Hermaphroditic and can self fertilize 3. End sections filled with 100,000 fertilized eggs break off and are removed through host excretory system 4. If contaminated food is eaten by cattle or pigs, larvae embed themselves in the muscle fibers forming a dormant capsule 5. Humans eat undercooked, contaminated meat releasing the tapeworm Causes; nutrient deprivation, blockage of intestinal tract

52 Annelida – Segmented Worms
Include; Earthworm Leech Clam Worm

53 Try Me Segmented Worms Body composed of a series of segments
Found in marine, fresh water or land Nervous system – concentrated at anterior end Cerebral ganglia (primitive brain) Turns into ventral nerve cord passing posteriorly Digestive system – straight, tubular, muscular canal which can function independently from body wall. Coelom (Fluid filled cavity) separate alimentary canal from body wall. Try Me Think you remember the internal structures?

54 Clam Worm (Sand Worm)– Live in intertidal zone
Feeds at night - burrows during the day Eats by extending pharynx out mouth exposing jaws that grasp food Fertilization and development external

55 Ouch! Leech Freshwater parasite Segmentation difficult to see
