Explore the diverse features of animals in Phylum Porifera, Cnidarians, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Mollusca, Annelida, Arthopoda, Echinodermata, Chordata, and Vertebrates across various classes like Jawless Fish, Cartilaginous Fish, Bony Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, and Mammals. Dive into their unique body structures, reproductive methods, and evolutionary adaptations.

Features that Animals Share • They are heterotrophs (can not make their own food) • Can perform rapid, complex movements • Multicellular • Sexually reproduce • Absence of a cell wall • Tissues – specialized function
Most Have Symmetry • Radial symmetry – body parts arranged around a central axis • Bilateral symmetry – body design with distinct right and left halves • Asymmetrical – irregular in shape
Phylum Porifera (Sponges) • Multicellular marine animals • Don’t move (anchored to rocks or the bottom) • Asymetrical symmetry • Internal skeletons of spicules • Pores that water flows through for feeding • Single opening for outgoing water
Phylum Cnidarians • Jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones • Have stinging cells • Marine and freshwater animals • Radial symmetry • Two body forms: polyps and medusa (free swimming) • Two layers of cells that are tissues
Phylum Platyhelminthes • Flatworms • Flat body with single opening • Bilateral symmetry • Many are parasites (live off of another animal) • Tapeworms and flukes
Phylum Nematoda • Roundworms • Tube within a tube body • Two openings (mouth, anus) • Simplest digestive system • Some free living and some parasitic • Hookworms, pinworms, trichinella
Phylum Mollusca • Bilateral symmetry • Three part body plan: • Visceral mass – the organs • Mantle – an outer layer of heavy tissue • Foot – muscle used for locomotion • Organ systems: digestion, excretion, circulation, respiration, and reproduction
Phylum Mollusca • Shell • One – snails • Two – clams • None – slug • Radula – (except bivalves) a rasping tongue-like organ for scraping • Cephalopods – most intelligent of invertabrates
Phylum Mollusca • Snails • Slugs • Octopus • Squid • Clams • Mussels • Oysters
Phylum Annelida • Segmented worms • Fossils found in rock that is 530 million years old • Has digestive, excretory, circulatory, and locomotive organs
Phylum Annelida • Has a primitive brain • Has a nerve cord that runs along the underside • Have bristles called setae to help them move • Earthworms and leeches
Phylum Arthopoda • Jointed appendages • Segmentation • Head with compound eyes • Exoskeleton (outside) • Respiratory structures • Open circulatory system • Some have wings
Phylum Arthopoda • Class Diplopoda – millipedes • Class Chilopoda – centipedes • Class Insects – 3 segments, 3 legs • Grasshopper – chewing/biting mandible • Mosquito – piercing/sucking mandible • Fly – sponging/lapping mandible
Phylum Arthopoda • Class Arachnida – 2 segments, 8 legs • Spiders, scorpions, ticks, and mites • Carnivores except for mites • Some are poisonous
Phylum Arthopoda • Subphylum Crustacae – 2 segments, 5 pairs of legs • Molt or shed their exoskeleton to grow • Respiration with gills • Two pairs of antennae • Crabs, lobsters, shrimp, pill bugs
Phylum Echinodermata • Spiny skin • Endoskeleton • Five-part radial symmetry • Water-vascular system • No head or brain • Tube feet • Sea stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, sea cucumbers
Phylum Chordata • Notochord that develops along the back of the embryo • Have a single hollow nerve chord down their back • Not all develop into backbones
Vertebrates • Chordates with a backbone • Endoskeleton • Bilateral symmetry • Two pairs of jointed appendages • Complex brains and sense organs • Closed circulatory system with a chambered heart • Organ systems: nervous, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, reproductive, excretory
Vertebrates Classes • Jawless Fish • Cartilaginous Fish • Bony fish • Amphibians • Reptiles • Birds • Mammals
Jawless Fish • Gill slits • Single loop blood cirulation • No jaws • No scales • No paired fins • Cartilage skeleton • Example: Lamprey
Cartilaginous Fish • Has a jaw • Has paired fins • Reinforced cartilage skeleton • Rough tooth-like scales • Gill slits • Examples: sharks and rays
Bony fish • Gill covers • Has a jaw • Has paired fins • Bony skeleton • Lateral line • Swim bladder • Scales • Examples: most fish, 95% of fish
Amphibians • Adapted to land • Legs • Lungs (some skin breathing) • Double loop circulation • Heart to deliver oxygen more efficiently • Need water to reproduce • Eggs are not watertight, no shell • Metamorphosis – tadpole to adult • Ectothermic – body temperatures change • Examples: frogs, toads, salamanders
Reptiles • Adapted to land • Legs have scales, watertight skin • Lungs • Heart to deliver oxygen more efficiently • Eggs have a leathery shell • Ectothermic – body temperatures change • Examples: turtles, lizards
Reptiles • Dinosaurs were reptiles • Four living lines: • Turtles • Snakes and lizards • Crocodiles and alligators • Tuataras
Birds • Largest group of terrestrial vertebrates • Beaks • Wings • Hollow bones • Feathers • Scales on their legs • Endodermic – constant body temperature • Eggs have hard, watertight shells
Birds • Beaks and legs differ according to use: • Birds of prey • Songbirds • Water birds • Flightless birds
Mammals • Hair • Diverse and specialized teeth • Endothermic • Mammary glands • Unborn young nourished by a placenta
Mammals • Reproduce in three ways: • Monotremes – Lay eggs then feed milk • Marsupials – Feed in a pouch • Placental – Unborn young nourished by a placenta
Placental Mammals Orders • Rontentia – mice, guinea pigs • Chiroptera – bats • Insectivora – shrew • Carnivora – flesh-eating • Pinnipedia – marine carnivores • Primate – monkeys and apes
Placental Mammals Orders • Artiodactyla – split hooves • Perissodactyla – odd number of toes, horses • Cetacea – whales and dolphins • Lagomorpha – rabbits • Sirenia – manatees • Probiscidea – elephants
