Transcript Animals I
The
Animal
Kingdom
Part 1
General Characteristics:
Exhibit multicellular construction
Composed of eukaryotic cells
Nutrition is by ingestion
Animals differ from plants
• Contain centrioles & asters
• Lack chlorophyll, plastids, cell walls
• Exhibit both embryonic and larval
stages
• Exclusively heterotrophic
General Characteristics:
Complex organisms - up to 10 systems
1) Skeletal
2) Muscular*
3) Endocrine
4) Nervous*
5) Circulatory
6) Lymphatic
7) Integumentary
8) Reproductive
9) Excretory
10)Respiratory
11) Digestive
*
Unique to animals
General Characteristics:
Adult form may be viewed as a complex
tube within a tube
Reflected by the presence of 3 primary
germ layers:
– Ectoderm – integument & nervous
– Mesoderm – muscles and most other
organs
– Endoderm – lines digestive tube
General Characteristics:
Reflected by the presence of 3 primary
germ layers:
– Ectoderm – integument & nervous
– Mesoderm – all other systems
– Endoderm – digestive
Triploblastic – possess all 3 germ layers
Diploblastic – possess only 2 germ layers
General Characteristics:
Exhibit the Diplontic Life Cycle
(sexual reproduction)

Level of Organization
Type of Body Symmetry
Type of Body Cavity
Embryonic Development
Level of Organization
IF the cell develops from a single cell
to the tissue level only, it belongs to
Subkingdom Parazoa
(beside the animals)
Phylum Porifera - sponges
(to bear pores)
Level of Organization
All others develop to an organ or organ
system level:
Subkingdom Eumetazoa
(true later animal)
Type of Body Symmetry
1. Only sponges lack symmetry (asymmetrical)
2. Organisms whose body parts are organized
around a central axis and radiate from the
central core like the spokes of a wheel exhibit
radial symmetry. (Think of an orange.)
3. Organisms whose body parts are arranged
along a longitudinal axis where right and left
half are mirror images of each other exhibit
bilaterial symmetry. (Think of a butterfly.)
Type of Body Symmetry
Radially
symmetrical
organisms
belong to
Grade
Radiata
Type of Body Symmetry
Bilaterially
symmetrical
organisms
belong to
Grade
Bilaterata
Type of Body Symmetry
Grade Radiata
larva, ancestors, AND adults
are radially symmetrical
Phylum Cnidaria
- jellyfish
Another typical Cnidarian: Hydra
Cnidarian forms
Type of Body Symmetry
All others belong to the
Grade Bilaterata
larva, ancestors, OR adults are
bilaterally symmetrical
Type of Body Cavity (coelom)
Subgrade Acoelomata
Phylum Platyhelminthes -the flatworms
NO body cavity
Solid layer of mesoderm
ectoderm
solid mesoderm
endoderm
gut
Type of Body Cavity (coelom)
Subgrade Pseudocoelomata
Phylum Nematoda -the roundworms
False cavity (false coelom)
Pseudocoel only partially lined
with mesoderm
Endoderm
Ectoderm w/ mesoderm lining
Pseudocoel
Gut
Type of Body Cavity (coelom)
Subgrade Coelomata
Phyla Annelida Chordata
True body cavity
Coelom completely lined with
mesoderm
ectoderm
Coelom (completely
lined with mesoderm)

Embryonic Development/ formation of the archenteron
Type of Embryonic Development
If the first
opening into the
blastocoel is the
mouth, the
organism is a
Protostome.
Type of Embryonic Development
If the second
opening into the
blastocoel formed is
the mouth, the
organism is a
Deutrostome.
