Phyla
• Porifera – (Parazoans)
• Cnidaria – (Eumatozoans)
• Ctenophora – (Eumatozoans)
4
Origins of Multicellular Life
• Been around for about 600 million years
• Only 10% of Earth’s geological history
• Appeared about 100 million years
before the Precambrian/Cambrian
boundary (evolutionary explosion)
• All life we know of now + 15-20 extinct
animal groups
5
Colonial Hypothesis
• A hypothesis that states that
multicellularity could have arisen as
divinding cells remained together, in the
fashion of many colonial protists.
6
Synctial Hypothesis
• A synctium is a large, multinucleate cell.
• The formation of plasma membranes in
the cytoplasm of a synctial protist could
have produced a small, multicellular
organism.
• Also, supported by formations found
within the Protist kingdom.
7
Animal Origins
• Animalia is thought to be monophyletic.
• The likely ancestral group has been
identified as the protist group, the
Choanoflagellates.

Phylum Porifera
• Primarily marine animals consisting of
loosely organized cells
• About 9000 species
• Vary in size from less than a centimeter
to mass that would more than fill your
arms

Characteristics of the Phylum:
• Asymmetrical or superficially radially
symmetrical
• Three cell types: pinacocytes,
mesenchyme cells, and choanocytes
• Central cavity, or a series of branching
chambers, through which water
circulates during filter feeding
• No tissues or organs
14
Phylum Porifera
• Class Calcarea – spicules composed of
calcium carbonate; spicules are needle
shaped or have 3 or 4 rays; ascon, leucon, or
sycon body forms; all marine. Calcareous
sponges.
• Class Hexactinellida – Spicules composed of
silica and 6-rayed; spicules often fused in an
intricate lattice; cup or vase shaped; sycon or
leucon body form; found at 450 to 900m
depths in tropical West Indies and Eastern
Pacific. Glass sponges.
15
Phylum Porifera (cont.)
• Class Desmospongiae – Brilliantly
colored sponges with needle-shaped of
four-rayed siliceous spicules or spongin
or both; leucon body form; up to 1 m in
height and diameter. Includes 1 family
of freshwater sponges, Spongilladae,
and the bath sponges.
16
Cell Types, Body Wall, and Skeletons
• Pinacocytes – thin, flat cells that line
the outer surface of a sponge; may be
contractile vacuole; and their
contraction may change the shape of
some sponges.
• Porocytes – specialized pinacocytes that
can regulate water circulation
17
Cell Types, Body Wall, and Skeletons
(cont.)
• Mesohyl – jellylike layer found just
below pinatocyte layer
• Mesenchyme cells – amoeboid cells that
move about in the mesohyl and are
specialized for reproduction, secreting
skeletal elements, transporting and
storing food, and forming contractile
rings around openings in the sponge
wall.
18
Cell Types, Body Wall, and Skeletons
(cont.)
• Choanocytes – collar cells, found below
the meshyl and line the inner
chamber(s); flagellated; the flagellum
moves in a circular motion that creates
a water current that moves through the
sponge.
• Spicules – formed by amoeboid cells,
made of calcium carbonate or silica

Water Currents and Body Forms
• 3 Sponge Body Forms
– Ascon
– Sycon
– Leucon
22
Ascon
• Simplest; least common; vaselike; Ostia
are the outer openings of porocytes and
lead directly to a chamber called the
spongocoel; Water exits the sponge
through the osculum (a single large
opening at the top of the sponge.)
23
Sycon
• Sponge body wall appears folded; folds
into the sponge are called incurrent
canals; folds out of the sponge are
called radial canals; water enters
through dermal pores; into the
spongocoel and out the osculum
24
Leucon
• Have extensively branched canal
system; water enters the sponge
through ostia, through branched
incurrent canals, into choanocyte-lined
chamber, into excurrent canals and
eventually through oscula (multiple
osculum)
25
Figure 9.7
26
Maintenance Functions
• Feed on particles that range in size from 0.1
to 50 micrometers.
• Food consists of bacteria, microscopic algae,
protists and other suspended organic matter.
• Sponges do not have nerve cells to coordinate body functions. Therefore most
reactions are the result of a single cell
responding to a stimulus.
• Communication between cells may be
possible, but we do not know for certain.
27
Reproduction
• Both sponges are monoecious (both
sexes occur in the same individual)
• They do not usually self-fertilize
because they produce sperm and eggs
at different times
• Both the sperm and the egg are formed
by choanocytes that undergo meiosis;
released through the oscula
28
Reproduction (cont.)
• Fertilization occurs in the ocean water and
planktonic larvae develop.
• After about 2 days the larvae will settle into
the substrate and begin to develop into the
adult body form.
• Some sponges can reproduce asexually by
producing gemmules that can withstand
harsh temperatures and drought in order to
survive.
• Some sponges have shown that small
portions removed from a larger sponge can
grow into new individuals.

Phylum Cnidaria (ni-dar’ e-ah)
•
•
•
•
9000 species
Mostly marine
Important in coral reef systems
Radially symmetrical animals have no
anterior or posterior regions; thus terms
of direction are based on the placement
of the mouth.
• Mouth end; oral
• Non-mouth end; aboral
31
Characteristics of the Phylum Cnidaria
• Radial symmetry or modified biradial
symmetry
• Diploblastic, tissue level of organization
• Gelatinous mesoglea between the epidermal
and gastrodermal tissue layers
• Gastrovascular cavity
• Nervous system in the form of a nerve net
• Specialized cells, called cnidocytes, used in
defense, feeding, and attachment
32
The Body Wall
• Diploblastic
– Ectoderm becomes epidermis
– Endoderm becomes gastrodermis
• Tissue-level organization
33
Figure 9.9
34
Cnidocytes
• Cnidocytes produce cells called cnida
– Cnida are fluid-filled, intracellular capsule
enclosing a coiled, hollow tube
– A lid-like operculum caps the capsule at
one end
– The cnidocyte has a modified cilium called
a cnidocil
– Stimulation of the cnidocil forces open the
operculum, discharging the coiled tube
35
Cnida & Nematocysts
• 30 kinds of cnida
• Nematocysts are a type of cnida used for
food gathering and defense that may
discharge a long tube armed with spines that
penetrates the prey (the spines carry a
paralyzing toxin)
• Some cnida contain unarmed tubes that wrap
around prey
• Others produce a sticky substance to help
anchor the animal
• Can be up to 6 different types of cnida on a
single individual
36

37
Alternation of Generations
• 2 body forms
– Polyp – asexual and sessile; attaches to the
substrate at the aboral end; has a
cylindrical body, called a column, and a
mouth surrounded by food gathering
tentacles
– Medusa – diecious and free swimming;
shaped like an inverted bowl, with
tentacles dangling from its margins; mouth
opening is centrally located facing
downward; swims by gentle pulsations of
the body wall
38
Figure 9.11
39
Maintenance Functions
• The gastrodermis lines the
gastrovascular cavity
– Functions in:
• Digestion
• Exchange of respiratory gases and wastes
• Discharge of gametes
– Food, digestive wastes, and reproductive
stages enter and leave the GC through the
mouth
40
Reproduction
• Most are diecious
• Sperm and eggs are released into the
GC or to the outside of the body
• Embryo forms a free-swimming larvae
called a planula
• The planula attaches to the substrate
and a young polyp develops
41
Class Hydrozoa
• Small, relatively common
• Mostly marine, 1 class with freshwater
species
• Most display alternation of generations
– In some medusa stage is lost
– In some the polyp stage is very small
42
Class Hydrozoa
• 3 features distinguish hydrozoans from
other cnidarians:
– Nematocysts are only in the epidermis
– Gametes are epidermal and released to the
outside of the body rather than into the
gastrovascular cavity
– The mesoglea is largely acellular
