KINGDOM ANIMALIA
General Characteristics
of Animals
Kingdom Animalia
All animals are multicellular,
eukaryotic heterotrophs
Adult animals develop from
embryos: small masses of
unspecialized cells
Simple animals can regenerate or
grow back missing parts
Most animals ingest their food and
then digest it in some kind of
Animal Diversity
Somewhere around 9 or 10
million species of animals
inhabit the earth.
About 800,000 species have
been identified.
Animal Phyla- Biologists recognize about 36 separate
phyla within the Kingdom Animalia.
(We’ll study the 10 major ones!)

Animal Movement
Most animals are capable of complex and
relatively rapid movement compared to plants
and other organisms.
Organisms that live rooted to one spot are
sessile and those that move around are motile.
Even the most sessile animals can move at least
part of their bodies. This movement is
dependent on how animals obtain food.
Animal Reproduction
Most animals reproduce sexually,
by means of differentiated haploid
cells
(eggs and sperm)
Most animals are diploid, meaning
that the cells of adults contain two
copies of the genetic material.
Animal Sizes
Animals range in size from no
more than a few cells to
organisms weighing many tons!

Animal Habitats
Most animals inhabit the seas,
with fewer in fresh water and
even fewer on land.
Animal Cell Diagram
Animal Bodies
The bodies of most animals
(all except sponges) are made up of cells
organized into tissues.
Each tissue is specialized to perform
specific functions.
In most animals, tissues are organized
into even more specialized organs.
Organs form organ systems. This is how
an organism develops. These cells have
to differentiate and become specialized
in various ways.
Animal Systems
Skeletal- Support, protection- Bones, shells, cartilage
Muscular- Movement; Muscle tissue (smooth, striated,
cardiac)
Digestion- Digestion of food and absorption of
nutrients-Mouth, stomach, intestine
Circulatory- Distribution of nutrients and oxygen;
removal of wastes-Heart, blood vessels, blood
Respiratory- Absorption of oxygen; removal of CO2Lungs, gills
Excretory- Removal of wastes-Kidneys
Nervous- Perception, control of movement, control and
coordination of organ system activities-Brain, spinal
cord, nerves
Endocrine- Control and coordination of organ system
activities-Glands
Immune- Defense against disease-causing organismsBlood cells, glands, skin
Animal Symmetry
The most primitive animals are
asymmetrical.
Cnidarians and echinoderms
are radially symmetrical.
Most animals are bilaterally
symmetrical.
Radial Symmetry
Forms that can be divided into
similar halves by more than two
planes passing through it.
Animals with radial symmetry
are usually sessile, free-floating,
or weakly swimming.
Radially Symmetrical
Like a wheel, animals with this spend most of
their time floating like a buoy or attached to
rocks.
Differences between the dorsal and ventral
surfaces allow jellyfish to float upright; sea
anemones grip rocks with their ventral surfaces
and collect food with their specialized dorsal
surfaces.
Advantages: Architects and engineers use
radially symmetrical designs for structures such
as fire hydrants and lighthouses so that the
structures will be accessible or visible from any
horizontal direction
Bilateral Symmetry
Animals with bilateral symmetery are most wellsuited for directional movement.
Anterior (front end), and posterior (rear) end
The left and right sides of most animals are nearly
mirror images.
Advantages:
A. This body plan works well for animals, if a body
part is damaged, the animal can rely on an identical
part on its other side.
B. This symmetry provides balance that aids
movement.
C. Anterior and dorsal defenses such as bones,
shells, and horns protect delicate internal organs.
Radial vs. Bilateral
Symmetry
Cephalization
Bilateral Symmetry usually has
led to cephalization —
the process by which sensory
organs and appendages became
localized in the head (anterior)
end of animals.
Evolutionary Trends
If we analyze the basic body plans
of animals, we find that they
illustrate evolutionary trends.
Four major “advances” (in order):
1.

3.
4.
Multicellular body plan
Bilaterally symmetrical body plan
“Tube-within-a-tube” body plan
Coelomate body plan
3 Major Bilateral Body Plans
1. Acoelomates (A-SEE-LOW-MATES)
2. Pseudocoelomates
3. Coelomates
Each plan consists of 3 cell
layers: endoderm, mesoderm,
ectoderm
Acoelomates
These animals
have no other
cavity than the
gut.
They are often
called the “solid
worms.”
Pseudocoelomates
These animals have a
body cavity (the
pseudocoelom) which
is not completely
lined with mesoderm.
The “tube within a
tube” body plan.
This category is also
composed of mostly
worms.
Coelomates
These animals have a
“true coelom” lined
with mesodermal
peritoneum.
Most animals are
coelomate

PHYLUM ROTIFERA
Very small size and mostly soft bodies
Microscopic, mostly aquatic-found in
many freshwater and moist soil
Complete digestive tract with mouth and
anus
Body cavities that are partially lined by
mesoderm- coelomates.
Crown of cilia around the mouth of the
rotifer that makes them appear to whirl
like a wheel
Tiny mouths; primarily omnivorous,
unicellular algae and other phytoplankton
Phylum Rotifera
Unsegmented Worms
Roundworms and flatworms are among the simplest bilaterally
symmetrical animals
Flatworms don’t need respiratory or circulatory systems
Thin flat bodies absorb oxygen and release CO2 and wasted
directly in the surrounding water.
Considered parasitic, they live in the digestive systems of other
animals.
Nematodes, or roundworms, are less than 1 mm long.
There are loads of nematodes in soil and water.
Some are decomposers others parasites of animals or plants
Pinworms and hookworms in soil burrow into the skin of people
who go barefoot outdoors
Trichina worms infest people who eat undercooked pork or wild
game.
