1. Characteristics of Animals
All multicellular (metazoans)
Eukaryotes (cells with nucleus & organelles)
Ingestive heterotrophs (take in food and internally digest it)
Store food reserves in the liver as glycogen

2. Support Systems All animals have some type of skeletal support
Endoskeleton - inside and made of cartilage &/or bone
Exoskeletons found in arthropods.
Covers the outside of the body
This limits size
Must be molted making animal vulnerable to predators

4. Support Systems
Worms and echinoderms (starfish) have fluid-filled internal cavities giving them support
Called hydrostatic skeletons
copyright cmassengale

5. Movement
Animals such as sponges may be sessile (attached & non-moving)
Animals that move very little are said to be sedentary (clam)
Animals that can move are motile
Have muscular tissue to provide energy for movement

7. Reproduction in Animals
All animals are capable of sexual reproduction
Some animals like sponges and earthworms are hermaphrodites producing both eggs and sperm
Hermaphrodites may exchange sperm and NOT fertilize their own eggs

8. Leeches Exchange Sperm During Mating

9. Reproduction in Animals
Females of some animals produce eggs, but the eggs develop without being fertilized
Called Parthenogenesis
New offspring will be all female Parthenogenesis occurs in some fishes, several kinds of insects, and a few species of frogs and lizards

12. Levels of Organization
Sponges are the ONLY animals that have just the cellular level
All other animals show these levels – cell, tissue, organ, and system
Cells may specialize (take own different shapes and functions)
Cells are held together by cell junctions to form tissues

15. Characteristics of Invertebrates
Simplest animals
Contain the greatest number of different species
Most are aquatic (found in water)
Do NOT have a backbone
Includes sponges, cnidarians, flatworms, roundworms, annelids, mollusks, arthropods, and echinoderms

24. Vertebrate Groups
copyright cmassengale

25. Vertebrata More complex animals
Most have a backbone made up of individual bones called vertebrae
From simplest to most complex, the phylum includes: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals
copyright cmassengale

26. Vertebrate Backbone
copyright cmassengale

27. Vertebrata Vertebrates have endoskeletons (internal)
Some vertebrates have skeletons of cartilage (sharks, rays, and skates)
Other vertebrates have skeletons of bone and cartilage (reptiles, birds, & mammals)

34. Body Areas
copyright cmassengale

35. Surfaces Dorsal – back or upper surface
Ventral – belly or lower surface
Anterior – head or front end
Posterior – tail or hind end opposite the head
Oral surface (echinoderms) – is where the mouth is located (underside)
Aboral surface (echinoderms) – is opposite the mouth (top side)

38. Symmetry
copyright cmassengale

39. Body Symmetry
copyright cmassengale

40. Body Symmetry
Symmetry is the arrangement of body parts around a central plane or axis
Asymmetry occurs when the body can’t be divided into similar sections (sponges)
copyright cmassengale

41. Body Symmetry
Radial symmetry occurs when body parts are arranged around a central point like spokes on a wheel (echinoderms)
Most animals with radial symmetry are sessile (attached) or sedentary (move very little)
copyright cmassengale

42. copyright cmassengale

43. Body Symmetry
Bilateral symmetry occurs when animals can be divided into equal halves along a single plane
Organisms will have right and left sides that are mirror images of each other
More complex type of symmetry
copyright cmassengale

44. Body Symmetry Animals with bilateral symmetry are usually motile
Animals have an anterior and posterior ends
Show cephalization (concentration of sensory organs on the head or anterior end)
copyright cmassengale

45. copyright cmassengale

46. Segmentation
copyright cmassengale

47. Segmentation
Occurs whenever animal bodies are divided into repeating units or segments
Found in more complex animals
Earthworms show external segmentation
Humans show internal segmentation (backbone)
Segments may fuse (cephalothorax)
copyright cmassengale

48. Segmentation
cephalothorax

49. Tissues
copyright cmassengale

50. Tissue Development
Zygote (fertilized egg) undergoes rapid cell divisions called cleavage
Forms a hollow ball of cells called the blastula
copyright cmassengale

51. Blastula
The blastocoel is the center cavity of the blastula with 1 germ layer (blastoderm)
copyright cmassengale

52. Tissue Development
The blastula INVAGINATES (folds inward at one point)
Called Gastrulation
The opening is called the blastopore
The center is the primitive gut or Archenteron
Archenteron

53. Embryonic Development
copyright cmassengale

54. Germ Layers Form tissues, organs, & systems NOT present in sponges
Ectoderm (outer) – forms skin, nerves, sense organs
Endoderm (inner) – forms liver and lungs
Mesoderm (middle) – forms muscles & other systems
copyright cmassengale

55. Body Layers Sponges have NO tissues or organs, only specialized cells
Cnidarians like jellyfish & coral have only two body layers & one body opening (mouth/anus) into gastrovascular cavity
Cnidarians have outer epidermis & inner gastrodermis with jelly-like mesoglea between the layers
copyright cmassengale
