Notes: Kingdom Animalia PreAP
Members of the kingdom Animalia are ______, ______, heterotrophs whose cells lack cell walls. Most are ______.
Like all other organisms, animals maintain homeostasis, or a stable internal environment. Homeostasis is maintained by ______, which is a process in which the result limits the process. Think of a thermostat and how it cools the room.
Complex animals tend to have high levels of cell ______. Other characteristics of complex animals:
1. ______–have ______sides that are the same.
2. ______- have a front end or head with a concentration of ______.
3. ______- have a true body cavity lined with mesoderm (We will learn what makes a true coelom later.)
4. Segmentation- different parts of the body are specialized for different ______(ex: our head holds sense organs, circulation and respiration is focused in the chest, movement carried out by our arms and legs)
2 Types of Animals:
1. Invertebrates: ______
2. Vertebrates: ______
Animal Survival
When studying animals, we will differentiate and classify them based on some of their structures and functions for survival.
1. Feeding- ______strain floating organisms from the water, all else ingest their food through the mouth and then excrete waste through the anus.
2. Respiration- gas exchange can occur by diffusion through ______called ______, across ______, or in ______
3. Circulation- ______(only partially within vessels) or ______circulation (all enclosed in vessels)
4. Excretion- various methods of ridding the body of ______; Example: sweat and urine
5. Response- nervous tissue arrangement (eventually into a brain)
6. Movement- some cannot move (______), some can move (______)
7. Reproduction- ______; some even can do both methods or switch sexes in their lifetimes
Embryologic Development:
During sexual reproduction, the egg and the sperm come together to form a ______, or fertilized egg. The egg then begins to divide many times by ______until it becomes a ______, a solid ball of cells, and then eventually becomes a ______, or a hollow ball of cells. The cavity inside the blastula is called the ______. The blastula begins to fold in to form a tiny hole, called a ______, which eventually becomes an opening to the digestive tract. The blastopore continues to fold inward, which runs down the length of the embryo called the ______, or “ancient gut”, which becomes the digestive tract. The hollow ball with the archenteron is called a ______.
There are 2 fates that the blastopore can take:
1. Protostome: ______
2. Deuterostome: ______
Cells form in 3 layers called germ layers.
1. Endoderm: inner; forms the lining of the ______
2. Mesoderm: middle; forms ______
3. Ectoderm: outer; forms ______
**Depending on how the three germ layers develop, a body cavity or coelom may form around the digestive tract. A true coelom is completely lined in ______. The evolutionary advantage of a coelom is that it provides a space for the internal organs to be ______and not be pressed upon by muscles or twisted out of shape by body movements. A ______, or false coelom, is only partially lined in ______.
Body Symmetry:
There are two types of symmetry
1. ______Symmetry: body part repeats around the center of the body (like a star fish)
2. ______Symmetry: the body can be divided into two equal halves (like a human being)
The 11 Phyla of Invertebrates:
1. Porifera: sponges
· ______
· ______
2. Cnidarians: corals, jellyfish, hydras
· soft bodies,
· carnivorous animals that have ______; has a ______for feeding and gas exchange
· life cycle in two phases – polyp (______) and medusa (looks like jellyfish- ______)
3. Ctenophora
· Resemble medusa of Cnidarians, but differ in cell layers
· ______symmetrical
· Two long ______that aide in feeding and movement
· All marine
4. Platyhelminthes: flatworms: flukes, tubellarians, tapeworms
· Some free-living, some parasitic
· Have no body cavity- ______
· Has a single opening into the digestive tract (______)
. 5. Rotifera: rotifers, “wheel animals”
· Under 1mm in length
· Use ______for feeding
· have a false body cavity called a ______
4. Nematoda: round worms
· unsegmented worms
· some cause disease, such as ______
· have a pseudocoelom
5. Annelida: segmented worms: earthworms, leeches
· ______
· free-living
6. Mollusca:
· soft bodies with______
· 3 groups:
o ______: snails, slugs, limpits, nudibranchs
o ______: clams, oysters, mussels, scallops
o ______: octopus, squid, nautilus, cuttlefish
7. Arthropods:
· Tough ______skeleton, segmented body
· ______
· 4 groups:
o ______: 2 pairs of antennae, chewing mouthparts; includes crawfish, lobsters, shrimp, barnacles
o ______: 2 body parts, 4 pairs of walking legs; includes spiders, horseshoe crabs, ticks, mites
o ______: millipedes and centipedes
o ______: three body segments and three pairs of walking legs; 73% of all animals
8. Echinodermata: sea urchins, sea stars, sea cucumbers, brittle stars
· Means “spiny skin”
· ______
· internal skeleton
· ______- little suction cups that help in walking and feeding
9. Chordata: sea squirts, lancelets
· We will cover chordates in more detail in another set of notes
For dissection purposes, the anatomical directions of the body must be known:
______: toward the head
______: opposite the head, toward the tail/anus
______: at the front of, in front, belly side
______: behind, in the back of(top of the organism)
______: away from the center of the body
