  1. Kingdom Animalia

  2. Characteristics of Animals • Multicellular with complex systems • Symmetry • Sponges are asymmetrical • Most are bilateral or radial • Heterotrophic • Sexual reproduction • Some can also reproduce asexually

  3. What is Symmetry? • Symmetry is how the body of the animal is organized • Radial means “circular” • The animal can be divided many directions through a central point to produce two equal sides • Bilateral means “two-sided” • The animal can be divided down the middle to produce mirror images

  4. Animals that are bilateral have: • Anterior = front end (head) • Posterior = tail end • Lateral = side • Dorsal = back side • Ventral = belly side

  5. Phylum Porifera • Common name: Sponges • Simplest of all animals • Asymmetry • 3 types of cells living in cooperation with each other • Fresh and salt water forms

  6. Phylum Cnidaria • Radial symmetry • Stinging cells • All are predators • Fresh and salt water forms • Carried by the current

  7. Phylum Mollusca • Soft bodied • Bilateral symmetry • Live in fresh & salt water or on land • Some have two shells • Clams, mussels • Some have one shell • snails • Some have no shell • Squid and octopus

  8. Phylum Platyhelminthes • Flat worms • Bilateral symmetry • Fresh or salt water • Some are parasites • Very simple • Systems not well developed

  9. Phylum Nematoda • Round worms • Many are microscopic and not much is known about them • Found in water, soil, and inside plants and animals • Some are important parasites of plants, animals, & people • Bilateral symmetry • Systems are not well-developed

  10. Phylum Annelida • Segmented worms • Bilateral symmetry • Well-developed body systems • Marine, freshwater, and soil • A few are parasites

  11. Phylum Arthropoda • Largest group of all animals • Includes the insects, spiders, crabs, etc • Bilateral symmetry • Jointed appendages • Well-developed body systems • Found in fresh and salt water & on land

  12. Phylum Chordata • Most complex group of animals • Bilateral symmetry • Well-developed nervous system • Must have a neural tube, a notochord, & gill slits during some point of development. • Some keep these features for their whole life.

  13. Non-vertebrate Chordates • Tunicates • Filter-feeders • Related to vertebrates • Larva have all chordate characteristics, adults have neither a notochord nor a tail • Lancelets • Fish-like • Keep all chordate characteristics through life

  14. Subphylum Vertebrata Most chordates are vertebrates Notochord becomes the vertebral column (backbone) Dorsal hollow nerve cord is protected by vertebrae Below is the current understanding of vertebrate evolution

  15. Jawless fish Cartilage skeleton Lampreys are parasites of other fish and sperm whales Larvae start in freshwater Class Agnatha

  16. Class Chondrichthyes • Cartilage fish • Sharks, skates, rays • Skeleton made of cartilage • Skin and teeth are made of same substance • 2 chambered heart • Ectothermic • Body temperature not regulated • Largest sharks and skates are filter feeders…why?

  17. Class Osteichtheyes • Bony fishes • Skeleton of bone • 2 chambered heart • Scales • Gills

  18. Class Osteichtheyes • Bony fishes • Skeleton of bone • 2 chambered heart • Scales • Gills • External fertilization • Lay eggs, do not care for young

  19. Class Osteichtheyes • Bony fishes • Skeleton of bone • 2 chambered heart • Scales • Gills • External fertilization • Lay eggs, do not care for young • Ectothermic • Most are ray-finned fishes-fins are slender bony spines connected by a thin layer of skin • Most are either fresh or marine • a few move from salt to fresh and back again • sturgeons, salmon

  20. Class Amphibia • Metamorphosis • Ectothermic • Fish-like larvae live in water • Have gills • Swim • 2 chambered heart • scavengers • Adults • Use lungs, skin, and mouth lining for gas exchange • Walk, hop, swim • 3 chambered heart • Predators • External fertilization • Lay eggs in water • No care of young

  21. Class Reptilia • Ectothermic • Modified 4 chambered heart • Scaly, dry skin • Claws • Internal fertilization • Amniotic egg • No care of young • Examples: snakes, turtles, lizards, etc.

  22. Crocodile (above) Frilled lizard Albino corn snake

  23. Class Aves(Birds) • Endothermic • 4 chambered heart • Scales and feathers (modified scales) • Hollow bones • Air sacs • Internal fertilization • Amniotic egg • Care for young

  24. Class Mammalia • Endothermic • 4 chambered heart • Hair • Mammary glands • Internal fertilization • Live young (a few exceptions) • Care for young • Most intelligent class

  25. Duck-billed platypus-monotreme Killer whale (placental mammal) Walrus (placental mammal) Kangaroo (marsupial)
