1 Introduction to the Animal Kingdom
Chapter 26

2 What is an Animal? They share certain characteristics
Heterotrophs Multicellular Eukaryotic Bodies contain tissues – no cell wall Either invertebrates or vertebrates

3 Invertebrates 95% of all animals are here These animals DO NOT have a backbone, spinal column (notochord) Examples: Dust mites, giant squids, worms, insects, etc.

4 Vertebrates Other 5% of the animals HAVE a spinal column (notochord) Examples: Fish, amphibians, reptiles birds and mammals

5 What animals do to survive
Animals carry out 7 essential functions: Feeding Respiration Circulation Excretion Response Movement Reproduce

6 Feeding Animals need to eat food Herbivores Carnivores Omnivores
Detritivores Filter feeders Symbiotic relationship

7 Feeding ls/bugs-animals/ants-and- termites/ant_caterpillarsymbiosis.html

8 Respiration Take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide Some rely on diffusion through their skin Other have complex tissue and organ systems

9 Circulation Diffuse oxygen, waste, and nutrients through the skin Or Have closed circulatory systems

10 Excretion Remove ammonia from cells and body
Ammonia has nitrogen; in large amounts it can kill an animal Removes other metabolic wastes

11 Response Response to environmental events by using specialized cells
Nerve cells Examples are: responses to light, sound, etc.

12 Movement The ability to be motile Have muscles that move supported by a skeletal system In sedentary animals- muscles feed and pump water and other fluids through the body

13 Hydrostatic skeletons
Layers of circular and longitudinal muscles that enable movement Ex.) worms

14 Exoskeleton External skeleton; tough external covering that protects and supports the body of many invertebrates Ex.) insects

15 Endoskeleton Structural support located inside the body
Ex.) sea stars, humans

16 Reproduction Sexually Asexually

17 Trends in Animal Evolution page 660 – fill-in the blanks on the diagram
Different phyla are related through a common evolutionary heritage Cell specialization Internal body organization Bilateral body symmetry Cephalization Body cavity

18 Cell Specialization Blastopore formed from blastula
-Protosome -Deuterostome Cells form in 3 layers Endoderm- Inner most layer Mesoderm- Middle layer Ectoderm- Outer most layer

19 Body Symmetry Radial Symmetry Bilateral Symmetry
Body parts repeat around the center of the body Example-cnidarians, jelly-fish Bilateral Symmetry 2 equal halves from the plane of symmetry Example- Cray fish or Humans

20 Radial vs. Bilateral Symmetry
Copy the diagrams and vocabulary

21 Cephalization Concentration of sense organs and never cells in the front of the body Anterior end move forward

22 Body Cavity Formation Allows for the formation of organs
Suspended and protected Not pressed on by muscles Not twisted out of shape by movement Leaves room for growth and expansion

23 Body Cavity Formation In other animals, the space contains fluids for:
Circulation Feeding Excreting
