Chapter 32 An Introduction to Animal Diversity
Concept 32.1: Animal are multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes with tissues that develop from embryonic layers • There are exceptions to nearly every criterion for distinguishing animals from other life forms • Several characteristics, taken together, sufficiently define the group
Nutritional Mode • Animals are heterotrophs that ingest their food • Animals are multicellular eukaryotes • Their cells lack cell walls • Their bodies are held together by structural proteins such as collagen • Nervous tissue and muscle tissue are unique to animals
Reproduction and Development • Most animals reproduce sexually, with the diploid stage usually dominating the life cycle • After a sperm fertilizes an egg, the zygote undergoes cleavage, leading to formation of a blastula • The blastula undergoes gastrulation, forming embryonic tissue layers and a gastrula

All animals, and only animals, have Hox genes that regulate the development of body form • Although the Hox family of genes has been highly conserved, it can produce a wide diversity of animal morphology
Concept 32.2: The history of animals may span more than a billion years • The animal kingdom includes not only great diversity of living species but also the even greater diversity of extinct ones • The common ancestor of living animals may have lived 1.2 billion–800 million years ago • This ancestor may have resembled modern choanoflagellates, protists that are the closest living relatives of animals

Symmetry • Animals can be categorized according to the symmetry of their bodies, or lack of it
Some animals have radial symmetry, the form found in a flower pot
The two-sided symmetry seen in a shovel is an example of bilateral symmetry
Bilaterally symmetrical animals have: • A dorsal (top) side and a ventral (bottom) side • A right and left side • Anterior (head) and posterior (tail) ends • Cephalization, the development of a head
Tissues • Animal body plans also vary according to the organization of the animal’s tissues • Tissues are collections of specialized cells isolated from other tissues by membranous layers
Animal embryos have concentric layers called germ layers that form tissues and organs • Ectoderm is the germ layer covering the embryo’s surface • Endoderm is the innermost germ layer • Diploblastic animals have ectoderm and endoderm • Triploblastic animals also have an intervening mesoderm layer
Body Cavities • In triploblastic animals, a body cavity may be present or absent • A true body cavity is called a coelom and is derived from mesoderm
LE 32-8a Coelom Body covering (from ectoderm) Tissue layer lining coelom and suspending internal organs (from mesoderm) Digestive tract (from endoderm) Coelomate
A pseudocoelom is a body cavity derived from the blastocoel, rather than from mesoderm
LE 32-8b Body covering (from ectoderm) Muscle layer (from mesoderm) Pseudocoelom Digestive tract (from endoderm) Pseudocoelomate
LE 32-8c Body covering (from ectoderm) Tissue- filled region (from mesoderm) Wall of digestive cavity (from endoderm) Acoelomate
Protostome and Deuterostome Development • Based on early development, many animals can be categorized as having protostome or deuterostome development
Cleavage • In protostome development, cleavage is spiral and determinate • In deuterostome development, cleavage is radial and indeterminate
LE 32-9a Protostome development (examples: molluscs, annnelids, arthropods) Deuterostome development (examples: echinoderms, chordates) Cleavage Eight-cell stage Eight-cell stage Spiral and determinate Radial and indeterminate
Coelom Formation • In protostome development, the splitting of solid masses of mesoderm to form the coelomic cavity is called schizocoelous development • In deuterostome development, formation of the body cavity is described as enterocoelous development
LE 32-9b Deuterostome development (examples: echinoderms, chordates) Protostome development (examples: molluscs, annnelids, arthropods) Coelom formation Coelom Archenteron Coelom Blastopore Mesoderm Mesoderm Blastopore Schizocoelous: solid masses of mesoderm split and form coelom Enterocoelous: folds of archenteron form coelom
Fate of the Blastopore • In protostome development, the blastopore becomes the mouth • In deuterostome development, the blastopore becomes the anus
LE 32-9c Deuterostome development (examples: echinoderms, chordates) Protostome development (examples: molluscs, annnelids, arthropods) Fate of the blastopore Mouth Anus Digestive tube Mouth Anus Mouth develops from blastopore Anus develops from blastopore
