Introduction to Animals
INTRODUCTION TO ANIMALS
• Most diverse
kingdom in
appearance
• More than 1
million species!
• Each phylum has
its own typical
body plan
(arrangement)
WHAT IS AN ANIMAL?
•
•
•
•
•
Animals:
are heterotrophic
are eukaryotic
are multicellular
lack cell walls
WHAT IS AN ANIMAL?
• 95% = invertebrates (do not have backbone)
• 5% = vertebrates (have a backbone)
WHAT IS AN ANIMAL?
• Anatomy = the structure of the
organism/organs
what it is
• Physiology = study of the functions of
organs
how it works
WHAT IS AN ANIMAL?
• Homeostasis (balance) is maintained by
internal feedback mechanisms
• Ex: dog panting releases heat, you sweat
to release heat
FUNCTIONS OF ANIMALS
• Feeding  animals must obtain energy by eating
• Examples of types of feeding:
–
–
–
–
–
–
Herbivore = eats plants
Carnivore = eats animals
Omnivore = eats plants and animals
Scavenger = eats dead organisms
Detritivore = feed on decaying organic material
Filter Feeders = aquatic animals that strain food from
water
– Parasite = lives in or on another organism (symbiotic
relationship)
FUNCTIONS OF ANIMALS
• Respiration animals require oxygen
• Take in O2 and give off CO2
• Lungs, gills, through skin, simple diffusion
FUNCTIONS OF ANIMALS
• Circulation  animals must move
necessary materials within their bodies
• Very small animals rely on diffusion
• Larger animals have circulatory system
FUNCTIONS OF ANIMALS
• Excretion  animals must expel waste
• Primary waste product is ammonia
Liquid waste
FUNCTIONS OF ANIMALS
• Response  animals respond to a
stimulus
• Receptor cells = sound, light, external
stimuli
• Nerve cells = nervous system
FUNCTIONS OF ANIMALS
• Movement 
• Most animals are motile (can move)
• Muscles usually work with a skeleton
FUNCTIONS OF ANIMALS
• Reproduction  animals must reproduce
• Most reproduce sexually = genetic diversity
• Many invertebrates can also reproduce
asexually = to increase their numbers rapidly
LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION
• Cell Specialization and Levels of Organization:
cells  tissues  organs  organ systems
EARLY DEVELOPMENT
• Zygote = fertilized egg
• Blastula = a hollow ball of cells
• Blastopore = the blastula folds
in creating this opening
• Protostome = mouth is formed
from blastopore
• Deuterostome = anus is
formed from blastopore
• Anus = opening for solid waste
removal from digestive tract
EARLY DEVELOPMENT
• The cells of most animal
embryos differentiate into
three layers called germ
layers:
• Endoderm = (innermost)
develops into the lining of
the digestive tract and
respiratory tract
• Mesoderm = (middle)
muscle, circulatory,
reproductive, and excretory
systems
• Ectoderm = (outermost)
sense organs, nerves, outer
layer of skin
BODY SYMMETRY
• Body Symmetry - the body plan of an
animal, how its parts are arranged
• Asymmetry - no pattern (corals, sponges)
BODY SYMMETRY
• Body Symmetry - the body plan of an
animal, how its parts are arranged
• Radial Symmetry - shaped like a wheel
(starfish, hydra, jellyfish)
BODY SYMMETRY
• Body Symmetry - the body plan of an
animal, how its parts are arranged
• Bilateral Symmetry - has a right and left
side (humans, insects, cats, etc)
CEPHALIZATION
• Cephalization - an anterior concentration
of sense organs (to have a head)
• The more complex the animals becomes
the more pronounced their cephalization
BODY PLAN
•
•
•
•
anterior - toward the head
posterior - toward the tail
dorsal - back side
ventral - belly side
SEGMENTATION
• Segmentation - "advanced" animals have
body segments and specialization of
tissue (even humans are segmented, look
at the ribs and spine)
BODY CAVITY
• Body Cavity Formation: A fluid-filled space
where internal organs can be suspended
TYPES OF ANIMALS
