  1. What is an Animal?

  2. Characteristics of Animals • All animals have several characteristics in common. What are the four common characteristics of animals? • Eukaryotic • Multicellular • Heterotrophic • No cell wall

  3. What Do Animals Do to Survive? • Feeding • Respiration • Circulation • Excretion • Response • Movement • Reproduction

  4. Trends in Animal Evolution • Your survey of the animal kingdom will begin with simple forms and move through more complicated ones.

  5. Phylogenetic relationships: Trends in Animal Evolution

  6. Cell Specialization and Levels of Organization • Groups of specialized cells that work together form tissues. • Tissues join together to form organs. • Group of organs work together to form organ systems • EX: Circulatory system

  7. Cephalization • Concentration of sense organs and nerve cells at the front end or head of the body.

  8. Animal Body Plans • What is symmetry? Arrangement of body parts on opposite sides of a plane or line Asymmetry Bilateral Symmetry Radial Symmetry

  9. Animal Body Plans • Acoelom • Without a body cavity

  10. Animal Body Plans • Pseudocoelom • Fluid-filled internal space that is in direct contact with the wall of the digestive tract.

  11. Animal Body Plans • Coelom • Fluid-filled body cavity completely lined by a layer of mesoderm cells and suspending internal organs

  12. Animal Body Plans

  13. How do these body plans develop?

  14. Early Development

  15. Development of Animal Body Plans • Cell Division • The zygote divides by mitosis and cell division to form two cells in a process called cleavage. • How important is this first cell division? • Problems can led to defects in embryo Zygote

  16. Development of Animals: Gastrulation (a process of forming cell layers) • The zygote undergoes a series of divisions to form a blastula, which is a hollow ball of cells. Demo PhylumsPorifera and Cnidaria only have two layers

  17. Protostome vs. deuterostome Mouth is formed from the blastopore Anus is formed from the blastopore

  18. Formation of a Coelom (body cavity): Neurulation • Body cavity – a fluid-filled space that lies between the digestive tract and the body wall. Gastrula Embryo Development
