The Animal Kingdom Though there is great diversity in the animal kingdom, animals can be distinguished from the other kingdoms by a set of characteristics. Though other types of life may share some of these characteristics, the set of characteristics as a whole provide a distinction from the other kingdoms.
Animals are multicellular. Animals are heterotrophic, obtaining their energy by consuming energy-releasing food substances. Animals typically reproduce sexually. Animals are made up of cells that do not have cell walls. Animals are capable of motion in some stage of their lives. Animals are able to respond quickly to external stimuli as a result of nerve cells, muscle or contractile tissue, or both.
Criteria for Evolutionary Development & Classification Cellular organization Symmetry Coelom Digestive system Segmentation Cephalization
Kingdom Animalia • Symmetry • Unorganized • Radial • Bilateral • Cellular organization • Tissues, organs, systems
Kingdom Animalia coelom digestive tube • Coelom • Body cavity or not • Digestive system • None, 1 or 2 openings, how
Kingdom Animalia • Segmentation • Repetition of body parts • Cephalization • Development of a “head end”
Phylogentic Relationships of Animals Platyhelminthes Porifera Mollusca Chordata Arthropoda Annelida Cnideria Nematoda Echinodermata pseudocoelom segmentation acoelom Protostome: schizocoelem Deuterostomes: eucoelom radial symmetry bilateral symmetry no true tissues true tissue Ancestral Protist
Major Stages of Animal Development • gametogenesis • fertilization • cleavage • blastula • gastrulation • differentiation and morphogenesis
Hypothetical Scheme for the Origin of Multicellularity in Animals
Protostome vs Deuterostome Blastula • Protostome: blastopore becomes mouth • Deuterostome: blastopore becomes anus Blastopore
Some Examples of Animal Phyla • Phylum Cnidaria • sea anemones, corals, jellyfish, man-of-wars & hydroids • Phylum Mollusca • snails, slugs, chitons, clams, oysters, octopods & squids • Phylum Arthropoda • spiders, scorpions, crabs, shrimp, insects & centipedes • Phylum Echinodermata • sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers & sea lilies • Phylum Chordata • sea squirts, fish, amphibian, reptiles, birds & mammals
Major Body Plan Characteristics of Animals • Symmetry • Primary Germ Layers • Gut Organization • Body Cavity • Segmentation • Skeletal Systems • Circulatory Systems • Appendages • Coloniality

Functions of the Skeleton • supports basic body form • protection of soft internal tissues and organs • facilitates locomotion
Skeleton • Hydrostatic Skeletons • Hard Skeletons • Exoskeletons • Endoskeletons
Hydrostatic Skeleton Sea AnemonePhylum Cnidaria
Hydrostatic Skeleton: • A non compressible fluid held under pressure in a closed body compartment. • Uses antagonistic muscles for movement. • The gastrovascular cavity of the jellyfish acts as hydrostatic skeleton against which contractile cells can work.
