This document provides information about different animal groups found in the environment. It classifies animals into two main subgroups - vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates make up 2% of animals and have backbones, while invertebrates comprise 98% and do not have backbones. Vertebrates are further divided into five classes - fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Invertebrates include groups like protozoans, poriferans, coelenterates, platyhelminths, nematodes, annelids, echinoderms, mollusks, and arthropods. Each group is characterized and examples are provided.
Animals have different body parts that enable them to live in various habitats, move around, and get food. Their body parts vary in size, shape and color depending on whether they live on land, in water, or both. They have developed features like legs, fins, wings or shells to survive in their environments and fulfill their needs.
The document describes the different types of animals classified based on their physical structures. It discusses that animals are broadly divided into two types - vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates have backbones, while invertebrates do not. Among vertebrates, it describes the five classes - Pisces (fish), Amphibians, Reptiles, Aves (birds), and Mammals. It provides characteristics of each class. Invertebrates include sponges, jellyfish, starfish, worms, mollusks, and arthropods like insects and spiders.
The document discusses adaptations in various animals that help them survive. It describes how insects have antennae, mouths like straws, six legs, and wings to help them find food, walk, and fly. Frogs have porous skin to breathe in water, lungs to breathe on land, strong hind legs to leap, and long tongues to catch prey. Lizards are cold-blooded and need the sun to stay warm, have toe pads that create suction, and can shed their tails to escape. Examples of other animal adaptations include eagles' claws and vision for hunting, ducks' webbed feet and oily feathers, zebras' stripes for camouflage, and bats' echolocation and noct
- Most fish breathe through gills and have skeletons made of bone or cartilage. They propel themselves through water using tail fins and other fins. Fish come in a wide variety of sizes, from less than an inch to over 60 feet long.
- Reptiles are air-breathing vertebrates covered in scales that lay eggs. Examples are crocodiles, lizards, snakes, turtles, and tortoises. They are often cold-blooded and regulate temperature behaviorally.
- Birds are feathered flying animals with wings, beaks, and lightweight skeletons adapted for flight. Their respiratory and skeletal systems are specialized for flying.
Animals and Adaptation discusses how animals adapt both structurally and behaviorally in order to survive in their environments. It provides examples of structural adaptations like thick fur coats and behavioral adaptations like moving in large groups. The document then focuses on penguins, describing their structural adaptations like dense feathers and behavioral adaptations like huddling in large groups to stay warm. It notes that while penguins' structural adaptations help with things like insulation and camouflage, their behavioral adaptations of returning to the same breeding locations make them vulnerable to predators.
Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection based on observations he made during a 5-year voyage as the naturalist on the HMS Beagle. Some of his most important observations included the diversity of life in South America and the Galapagos Islands, as well as adaptations and differences between similar species on different islands. These observations, combined with his knowledge of selective breeding, led him to propose natural selection as the mechanism of evolution. Natural selection results from overproduction of offspring, competition for limited resources, and inherited variations between individuals that influence survival and reproduction.
Mammals are characterized by warm-bloodedness, hair or fur, highly developed brains, muscular diaphragms, mammary glands, and parental care. They have four-chambered hearts, skulls with teeth and jaws, and two sets of teeth. Mammals have four limbs adapted for locomotion like walking, running, swimming, flying or burrowing. They maintain a constant body temperature through homeothermy. Their skin has hair and glands. Mammals are classified into monotremes, marsupials, and placental mammals.
This document discusses adaptations in various animal groups. It describes how mammals have fur and are warm-blooded, lions have manes and muscular bodies to hunt prey, reptiles are cold-blooded and have scales, snakes camouflage and slither to move, amphibians have permeable skin and lungs, birds fly with wings and eat with beaks, eagles have sharp eyes and claws to hunt, fish breathe with gills and swim with fins and tails. Overall, it explains that animals have features suited to their environments and roles in food chains.

The document discusses structural adaptations that help animals move efficiently. It explains that streamlined bodies help aquatic animals like fish move fast through water to catch prey or escape predators. Fish also have modified limbs and swim bladders to aid movement and buoyancy. The document then discusses adaptations for flight, noting that flying animals are generally lightweight with large, wing surfaces, streamlined shapes, and strong flight muscles. Birds in particular have feathers, hollow bones, and streamlined bodies to reduce air resistance and fly efficiently.
The red ruffed lemur is a primate found exclusively in Madagascar. It has red fur and a ruff of fur around its neck. It lives in family groups and eats mostly fruit. The red ruffed lemur is threatened by habitat loss and hunting. In zoos, its enclosures are often bare concrete rooms lacking vegetation, space, and enrichment, unlike its natural rainforest habitat. Improvements could include more space, live plants, climbing structures, and outdoor access to better support the species' adaptations.
This document classifies animals according to their structure, diet, and reproduction methods. It divides animals into invertebrates and vertebrates. Invertebrates do not have backbones and include arthropods, molluscs, echinoderms, and sponges. Vertebrates do have backbones and are divided into mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Within each group, details are provided about their diet, reproduction, and key distinguishing features.
This document discusses the key characteristics of birds. It describes how feathers help birds stay warm and dry and enable flight. It explains the processes of preening and molting. It details the two main types of feathers, down and contour feathers. It discusses birds' fast digestion, ability to fly, raising of baby birds, and different kinds of birds such as flightless, water, perching, and birds of prey.
Adaptations for getting and chomping food (teach)Moira Whitehouse
The document discusses animal adaptations for obtaining and eating food. It describes how herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores have different adaptations based on their diets. Herbivores have teeth for grinding plants, carnivores have sharp teeth for catching and tearing meat, and omnivores have adaptations for both plant and meat consumption. Examples are given of teeth, jaws, and other features in various species that help with getting and processing different types of food.
Dory's ocean pals include:
- Blue tang fish like Dory who eat algae and plankton on coral reefs.
- Clownfish who live in anemones in a mutualistic relationship and eat zooplankton.
- Octopuses who are experts at camouflage and can squeeze into small spaces with their flexible bodies.
- Whale sharks, the largest fish, who filter feed on plankton and have unique skin patterns.
The document discusses the many variations in beak shape and size found in birds, which relate to their different feeding behaviors and diets. It describes the specialized beaks of seed-eating birds like finches, fruit-eating parrots, insect-eating flycatchers, wood-chiseling beaks of woodpeckers, long probing beaks of shorebirds, and fish-catching beaks of kingfishers. Unique modifications are also seen in a few species, like the curved beak of the wry-billed plover or scissor-like beak of the black skimmer.

1. The document discusses the many ways that different types of animals move, from crawling and walking to flying and swimming. It explores how animals' limbs, muscles, shells and other adaptations allow for movement in various environments.
2. Many animals move using limbs and muscles attached to either an internal skeleton or external shell. Other animals change the shape of their bodies, use appendages, or float to move.
3. Different groups are discussed like starfish that move along the seafloor and insects that fly, swim, crawl or burrow depending on species. Exceptions to typical modes of movement are also noted for some vertebrate groups.
Amphibians live both on land and in water, having thin skin that allows absorption of water and oxygen. They go through a metamorphosis where larvae with gills transform into adults with lungs on land. While amphibians were the first to move onto land, reptiles later evolved with thicker scaly skin and shells for their eggs, allowing full adaptation to life on land.

Adaptations For Breathing In Water (2 Jul)Rizal Jailani
The document discusses various anatomical adaptations that aquatic animals have evolved for breathing underwater. It describes how fish, amphibians, insects, and mammals each breathe using structures like gills, skin, air tubes, air bubbles, and specialized nostrils or blowholes. These adaptations allow animals to extract oxygen from water or bring air underwater to survive in their aquatic environments.
Hagfishes are a primitive class of jawless fish called Myxini. They are classified as vertebrates despite lacking a backbone or paired appendages. Hagfishes have a cartilaginous shell that is considered the beginnings of a skull. They are primarily scavengers that consume dead fish and marine worms near the ocean floor. The slime produced by hagfishes when threatened has potential commercial uses, such as in protective clothing and armor, automobile parts, and disposable diapers due to its strength and flexibility. The skins of some hagfish species are used to produce leather goods.
Crocodiles are large reptiles that live in tropical habitats around the world except Antarctica and Europe. They have thick armor-like scales, a long tail, and webbed feet. Crocodiles are apex predators that help balance ecosystems by eating carcasses. However, they are threatened by habitat loss and overhunting for their hides.
The document discusses key characteristics of amniotes such as reptiles, birds, and mammals. Amniotes develop in amniotic sacs that provide fluid and nutrients to the growing embryo. This allows for reproduction on land. Amniotes have two circulatory systems - pulmonary and systemic - as well as three- or four-chambered hearts depending on whether they are reptiles or birds and mammals. The document then covers anatomical and physiological adaptations of reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Turtles are ancient reptiles that first appeared over 200 million years ago. There are two main categories of turtles - hidden-necked species that pull their heads directly back into their shells, and side-necked species that pull their heads to the side. Four species of sea turtles are commonly found in Malaysia - green turtles, hawksbill turtles, leatherback turtles, and olive ridley turtles. Sea turtles face many threats including consumption, nest destruction, marine debris ingestion, and commercial fishing.
This document provides information about various sea creatures including jellyfish, seahorses, whales, and octopuses. It notes that jellyfish have been around for over 650 million years and lack complex organs. Seahorses are small fish named for their horse-like head, and males carry fertilized eggs in their pouch. Whales are the largest animals and include toothed and baleen whales. Baleen whales filter feed while toothed whales are predatory. Octopuses have 8 arms and can change color to camouflage, defend themselves, and communicate.
Animals have developed various physical and behavioral adaptations that enable them to survive in their environments. Adaptations take a long time to develop through gradual changes over generations. They allow animals to obtain food, reproduce, and protect themselves from threats. Examples of physical adaptations include teeth for eating plants or meat, beaks for obtaining food, camouflage for protection, and body changes for hibernation or migration to cope with seasonal variations.

They allow animals to obtain food, reproduce, and protect themselves from threats. Examples of physical adaptations include teeth for eating plants or meat, beaks for obtaining food, camouflage for protection, and body changes for hibernation or migration to cope with seasonal variations.
There are over 6,800 reptile species including alligators and crocodiles, turtles and tortoises, snakes, and lizards. Reptiles are ectothermic vertebrates with scaly skin and internal skeletons. They lay shelled eggs and undergo little development from hatching to adulthood. Amphibians include over 4,000 species of frogs, salamanders and caecilians. They are also ectothermic vertebrates but have permeable skin and undergo metamorphosis from aquatic young to terrestrial adults. Both groups shed their skin and use environmental heat to regulate their body temperature.
This document provides information about classifying animals into vertebrates and invertebrates. It defines vertebrates as having backbones and lists the five classifications of vertebrates as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Invertebrates are defined as not having backbones, with the most common types being protozoa, annelids, echinoderms, mollusks, and arthropods. Examples are given for common vertebrate and invertebrate animals, with interesting facts provided. The document concludes by listing references used to research the topic.
Vertebrates are animals with backbones and include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. They can be ectothermic (cold-blooded) or endothermic (warm-blooded). Invertebrates lack backbones and make up 97% of animal species, with bodies that have radial, bilateral, or asymmetric symmetry. They are divided into phyla including sponges, cnidarians, worms, arthropods like crustaceans and insects, mollusks, and echinoderms.
This document summarizes information about Odonata, an order of insects that includes dragonflies and damselflies. It describes their key physical characteristics like large multifaceted eyes. It outlines the major families, differences between dragonflies and damselflies, their life cycles from egg to adult, predatory behavior as nymphs and adults, mating processes, economic importance as natural mosquito predators, and some interesting facts.
This document describes several aquatic vertebrates including fish, amphibians, and reptiles. It provides details on the appearance, eating habits, life cycles, and other characteristics of different species of carp, catfish, fresh bream, frogs, snakes, and grass snakes. Fish generally have scales, fins, and gills and reproduce by laying eggs. Amphibians begin their lives in water with gills and tails, then develop lungs and legs to live on land as adults.
Turtles are reptiles with a strong shell that protects their inner organs and backbone. They can live on land or in water, breathing air through a process called buccal pumping. Their shells come in different shapes depending on whether they live on land or in water. While most turtle species lay eggs, some turtle genders are determined by temperature during incubation. The alligator snapping turtle is one of the largest turtle species known for its size, spiked shell, and diet of fish and smaller animals.
This document provides information about different types of vertebrates including fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. It describes some key characteristics of each group and examples of common species. The document aims to classify different vertebrate animals according to their defining physical attributes and environmental adaptations.
Mollusks are invertebrate animals that typically have a soft body and secrete a hard shell. They have a head with eyes, mouth and brain. Mollusks can be male, female or hermaphroditic. They reproduce either internally or externally. The three main types of mollusks are bivalves like clams, gastropods like snails, and cephalopods like squid and octopuses. Bivalves have two-part shells and use their muscular foot for burrowing. Gastropods have spiral shells and include sea slugs. Cephalopods are highly intelligent and can change their skin color and texture.
This document outlines the major orders of placental mammals, including their defining characteristics and examples. It discusses 12 orders: Artiodactyla which have an even number of toes and include pigs and cattle; Perissodactyla which have an odd number of toes and include horses and rhinos; Cetacea which are aquatic and include whales and dolphins; Primates which are tree-dwellers and include humans, apes and monkeys; Rodentia which make up over 40% of mammals and include mice and beavers; Chiroptera which can fly and are represented by bats; Xenartha which have few teeth and include anteaters and sloths; Sirenia which are aquatic herbivores
Marine mammals include cetaceans, sirenians, and carnivores that rely on the ocean for existence. They are warm-blooded, breathe air, bear live young, and nurse with milk. Cetaceans include whales, dolphins, and porpoises that communicate and echolocate. Sirenians such as manatees and dugongs graze on aquatic plants. Carnivores include three families of pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, walrus), polar bears, and two families of otters. Physiological adaptations allow marine mammals to dive, thermoregulate, and locomote in water. Many species face threats and some are endangered.
Whales are large, intelligent aquatic mammals that breathe air through blowholes. They evolved from land mammals and are the only mammals that live exclusively in water. There are two main types of whales - baleen whales which filter feed using baleen plates, and toothed whales which hunt for fish and squid using echolocation. Whales migrate long distances between feeding and breeding grounds, sing complex songs, and care for their young for over a year. While whaling was once a large industry, many whale populations were decimated and conservation efforts are now focused on protecting whales from threats like pollution, habitat loss, and human impacts.
The document classifies and describes different types of animals. It divides animals into invertebrates, which lack backbones, and vertebrates, which have backbones. Invertebrates include protozoa, annelids, arthropods like insects and crustaceans, echinoderms, and mollusks. Vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and primates like humans. Within these groups it describes characteristics of common animals such as starfish, earthworms, spiders, whales, and mice.
The document discusses different groups of animals including amphibians, birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects. It provides 3 key characteristics for each group:
Amphibians are vertebrates that are ectothermic, breathe through their skin, and go through metamorphosis. Birds are vertebrates that are endothermic, have feathers, and lay eggs. Mammals are vertebrates that are endothermic, have hair, and produce milk to feed their young. Reptiles are vertebrates that are ectothermic, covered in scales, and have lungs. Insects are invertebrates that have a 3-part body structure, hatch from eggs, and have 6 legs
The Alpine Ibex is a mammal that lives in the European Alps between 2,000-4,600 meters in steep, rocky habitats. It can jump, run, climb and has fur, hooves and horns. Males fight during breeding season to mate with females over a period of around 30 minutes. Ibex eat shrubs, bushes and grasses and are hunted by humans and wolves.
The Great Bustard is a large bird that lives on grasslands. Males perform a flamboyant courtship display and they eat vegetation. They are vulnerable and face threats from hunting and poison.
The Golden Toad was an amphibian from Costa Rica with bright
This document provides an overview of different animal species from around the world. It begins by discussing the diversity of animal breeds and characteristics. It then examines key groups like mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles. Some specifics covered include mammals giving birth and nursing their young, while birds lay eggs. It also looks at predators that hunt other animals and herbivores that feed on plants. Finally, it profiles 10 unusual animal species, ranging from the poodle moth to the Japanese spider crab.
The sperm whale lives in pods in open oceans around the world. It is the largest toothed whale and has the largest brain of any animal. Sperm whales hunt giant squid by diving deep in the ocean. Females give birth every 3-5 years and calves nurse for up to 8 years. Sperm whales were heavily hunted for oil and other products in the 18th-20th centuries, greatly reducing their population before whaling was prohibited.
This was a 9th grade project I made and uploaded before, but am uploading again, it was previously named something along the lines of mm_qcampbell_041110
The document discusses the classification of animals into two main groups - vertebrates and invertebrates. It provides details about the key characteristics of each group and some examples of animals that belong to each. Invertebrates are defined as animals without backbones, and include sponges, worms, mollusks, arthropods, echinoderms, and protozoa. Vertebrates have backbones and include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The document then goes into further detail about some examples of invertebrates and vertebrates.
The document discusses various atmospheric phenomena such as air temperature, pressure, and heating. It explains how thermometers are used to measure air temperature and how air is heated by the sun, conduction, and convection. It also discusses specific heat and how cement gets hotter than soil. Additionally, it summarizes sea and land breezes caused by uneven heating of land and sea. Other topics covered include monsoons, trade winds, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), ozone formation and depletion, and the greenhouse effect.
The document discusses the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 in the Philippines, which guarantees universal access to contraception, fertility control, sex education, and maternal care. It mandates the government to promote all effective and legal family planning methods. The bill also requires reproductive health education in schools and guarantees reproductive healthcare for female employees. It aims to promote responsible parenthood through a multi-dimensional approach integrated into anti-poverty programs.
The document discusses the layers of Earth's atmosphere. It is divided into five main layers from lowest to highest:
1) The troposphere, extending up to 9-16 km, contains weather patterns and decreases in temperature with altitude.
2) The stratosphere, up to 50 km high, contains the ozone layer and has a temperature that initially increases with altitude.
3) The mesosphere, up to 85 km high, has a sudden temperature increase then decrease with altitude and contains ionized layers.
4) The thermosphere, 80-640 km high, has extremely high temperatures over 1000°C and contains the ionosphere responsible for reflecting radio waves.
5) The exosphere, over
The document discusses the force of gravity and its effects. It explains that gravity is a downward pulling force that attracts all objects on Earth toward its center. It causes things thrown up to fall back down, and makes downward movement faster than upward movement. Gravity is responsible for many phenomena we observe, such as leaves falling from trees, objects slipping from our hands, and kites falling when the wind stops blowing. It establishes our weight and keeps us and everything on Earth from floating off into space.
This document discusses maternal health concerns before, during, and after pregnancy. Before pregnancy, women should see their doctor to discuss any existing health problems and how treatment may need to be adjusted. During pregnancy, women may experience a range of symptoms from mild discomforts to severe illnesses. Common health conditions experienced during pregnancy include anemia, UTIs, gestational diabetes, and hypertension. After pregnancy, women can experience postpartum depression caused by hormonal changes after childbirth. Proper prenatal and postnatal care is important for both mother and baby's health.
Most activities involve energy in different forms. Sound, light, heat, and chemical/mechanical energies are used from waking up until moving around. Forces like gravity, wind, water, electricity, and magnetism can push or pull objects to cause motion. Motion is the change in position of an object due to force. Forces can make objects move, change their speed and direction of movement, stretch or compress, or cause up and down motion through balanced or unbalanced opposing forces.
The document discusses heat energy and its effects on the human body. It explains that exposure to the sun's heat energy can cause sweating, thirst, reddening of the skin, and smelling musky. It then provides tips for protecting against excessive heat, such as avoiding direct sun exposure especially from 10am-2pm, drinking plenty of water, wearing loose cotton clothes, and staying alert for signs of heat illness like dizziness or fainting.
Forces can cause objects at rest to move or change an object's motion. There are two main types of forces - contact forces that require touching and non-contact forces like gravity. Friction is a contact force that resists the movement of objects in contact with each other. The document discusses the different types of friction like static, sliding, and rolling friction and how friction affects motion. It also describes ways to reduce friction using lubricants and wheels and ways to increase friction using rough surfaces. Safety measures around friction to prevent accidents are mentioned.
This document discusses the topics of dating, courtship, and marriage. It defines infatuation and love, and notes that dating is a form of courtship where couples engage in social activities together. There are different types of dates like standard, double, and group dates. Dating is important as it allows couples to develop affection, strengthen their relationship, get to know each other's character, and have fun. Courtship precedes engagement and allows couples time to understand one another. Engagement is a period where couples ensure they are ready for lifelong companionship before marrying, which is a permanent union between a man and woman. Factors like maturity, commitment, and character are important to consider when choosing a lifetime partner for a
The document summarizes the key people involved in the discovery and development of the periodic table of elements. It discusses Johann Dobereiner who discovered triads of elements, de Chancourtois who arranged elements in a helix, Newlands who proposed periodicity based on atomic mass, and Mendeleev who created one of the first recognizable periodic tables. It also mentions the contributions of Meyer, Ramsay, Moseley, and Seaborg in refining the table and adding new elements. The periodic table organizes elements based on electron configuration in their outermost shells and exhibits trends in properties from atomic radius to metallic character across the table.
The document discusses kinematic equations that describe uniformly accelerated motion. It provides the equations for final velocity, displacement, and initial and final velocities as functions of acceleration, time, and initial velocity or displacement. Examples are included to demonstrate solving for final velocity and displacement given values for acceleration, time, and initial velocity. The kinematic equations can be used to analyze motion under constant acceleration.
Velocity is defined as the rate of change of an object's position over time, taking into account both speed and direction, and can be calculated using the formula that average velocity equals displacement over time. The document provides examples of calculating average velocity and discusses how velocity differs from speed by incorporating direction. It also defines acceleration as the change in velocity over a time interval and provides examples of calculating acceleration from changes in speed or direction over time.
This document discusses several key issues regarding teenage sexual health. It notes that adolescence is a formative time when habits are learned. Some of the most important issues are physical body changes during puberty, increased interest in sex due to hormones, and the need for comprehensive sex education about risks and consequences. Teenagers are exposed to sexual topics from many sources and need guidance on their values. The document outlines additional challenges such as dating pressure, risks of teenage pregnancy, importance of abstinence or safe sex education, and sexually transmitted diseases.
Sound is energy produced by vibrations traveling through matter such as air. Vibrations cause the surrounding air to produce sound waves that transmit the sound outward from its source. When these waves reach the ears, the brain processes the messages as sound. Sound travels faster through solids than liquids or gases due to the density of the medium. It also travels much slower than light, explaining why thunder is heard after lightning is seen. Protection from loud noises that can damage hearing includes avoiding very close or prolonged exposure to sounds and wearing ear protection during noisy activities.
Velocity is defined as the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time and includes both magnitude (speed) and direction. It can be calculated using the formula: Average velocity = Displacement / Time. In the example, a girl travels 8 km in 15 minutes (0.25 hours) to get to school, so her average velocity is 32 km/h. Acceleration is the change in velocity over a time interval and is calculated as: Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Time Interval. It is a measure of how quickly an object's velocity changes. Both speed and direction must change for an object to be accelerating.
Mangroves are woody plants that grow in coastal saline waters and muddy soils between land and sea in tropical and subtropical regions. They have complex root systems adapted for survival in wet, oxygen-poor conditions. Mangrove swamps support rich biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services like coastal protection, sediment stabilization, and nursery habitats for marine life. However, mangroves are threatened by habitat loss from aquaculture, development, pollution, and overharvesting of resources. Conservation efforts aim to protect remaining mangrove areas and restore degraded ecosystems.
This document discusses the electron distribution in orbitals and sublevels across the first four principal energy levels. It provides the number of orbitals and electrons in each sublevel (s, p, d, f) as well as the total electrons per principal energy level. The first level contains 2 electrons in the s orbital. Each subsequent level adds new sublevels with increasing numbers of orbitals and electrons as you move further from the atomic nucleus.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

2. ANIMALS
• Classify into two subgroups: Vertebrates and Invertebrates. Earth consists of a
variety of animals from simple to the most complex groups.
• Both subgroups belong to chordates – group of animals with notochord or a
flexible rod of cells inside their bodies.
• Invertebrates – comprises of 98% of animals in the world. They can be found in a
vast range of habitats such as forests, deserts, caves, and seabeds. They have
nervous system that helps them to respond to the environment through their
instincts. Ex: jellyfish – has nerve net that contains receptors of stimuli such as
physical contact, food, and chemicals. A light touch with its cilium or its organ for
locomotion, provides information for muscle movement.
• Vertebrates – made up of 2% of animals, the higher form of animals. They have
internal skeletons made up of bones that give them shape. They have large and
more developed brains enclosed in skulls.
3. VERTEBRATES

a m p h i b i a n s , r e p t i l e s , b i r d s , a n d a n i m a l s .
4. FISH
• Aquatic animals that breathe through gills
• Have skeletons made of either bones or cartilages
• Classified:
bony fish – have a swim bladder, a gas-filled sac that allows them
to rise or sink in the water.
cartilaginous fish – must swim to keep afloat, and has spindled-
shaped bodies and tail fins that are used in swimming. They are also
covered with scales and are cold-blooded (means that their body
temperature changes and becomes the same as the temperature around
them.
5. BONY FISH – milkfish,
tilapia, mudfish, and catfish
CARTILAGINOUS FISH –
SHARKS AND STINGRAYS
6. • Fishes like milkfish, tilapia, mudfish, catfish, and salmon are sources of
food.
• Sharks and codfish are sources of oil that is rich in Vitamin A and D.
• Fishes with attractive colors and shapes are kept in aquarium as pets.
7. AMPHIBIANS
• Cold-blooded vertebrates, covered with moist skin, and they lay eggs in
water, and also have three-chambered heart.
• Example: frogs, salamander, and newts.
• They are useful animals.
• Certain species of frogs are edible, their hind legs are eaten as delicacy
by some people. Also used as specimens, which are dissected in
laboratories to study the organ system of animals.
• Bullfrogs or heavy-bodied frogs, help protect farm crops by feeding on
insects and worms in the fields.
• Newts and salamander feed on insects and other pests too.
8.
9. REPTILES
• Cold-blooded animals that are covered with scales. Their bodies react to
the temperature of their surroundings. When they get too warm, they
go into the water or under a shade to cool off. When they get cold, they
hang out under the sun to warm themselves up.
• Common reptiles are: alligator, crocodiles, lizards, snakes, turtles,
tortoises, geckos, and iguanas. They have dry and scaly skins that cover
the body, breathe through lungs, and certain reptiles may live not only
on land but also in water, and lay their eggs on dry land.
10. • Crocodiles and alligators – good swimmers,
• Sea turtles and tortoises – have protective shells, have strong, sharp
beaks and well-known fro their long life span
• Snakes and lizards – shed its skin coverings, have abdominal scales
called scutes.
• Lizards – have four-legged with five-clawed toes on each foot
• Chameleons – lizards that can change their skin color to math the
surroundings
• Certain reptiles are dangerous:
– Snakes – have jaws that can swallow their prey, have fangs that can inject
poison to their victims
– Crocodiles and alligators – very strong and can inflict harm to people
– Lizards – useful as they eat harmful insects
11.
12. BIRDS
• Warm-blooded means they keep their bodies temperature no matter
what the temperature is around them.
• Bodies are spindle-shaped and are covered with feathers. They have
wings, hollow bones, and thin skulls, all of which make their bodies
extremely light for flying. They breathe though their wings.
• Birds how they adapt to their environment:
Ostrich – use their wings to keep them blance as it runs 70 kph using its
long legs
Herons, ducks, and geese – use their feet for paddling and swimming
eagles, parrots, and hawks – used their claws or talons for grasping their
prey
13. Sparrows and parrots – use their beaks to gather food, build their nests, feed
their young, and eat.
Low flying chickens, turkeys, quails, and peacocks – use their claws to scratch
the ground to look for food.
• Birds help in many ways:
- Meats and eggs can be eaten
- Ducks, chickens, and turkeys are important food for humans
- Help farmer to feed on harmful insects and worms that damage food crops
- Some people enjoy keeping birds as pets at home.
14.
15. MAMMALS
• Warm-blooded animals, have hairy bodies. Mother mammals retain their
young in their bodies until they are ready to be born.
• Mothers feed young ones with milk through its mammary glands or
milk-secreting glands.
• Example of mammals:
- Primates
- Marsupials
- Rodents
- Cetaceans
- seals
16. PRIMATES• Highest order of mammals
• Have well-developed brains, hands,
and feet with nails, and eyes that face
forward
• Interact with their own kinds
• Ex: orangutans, monkeys, gorillas,
chimpanzees, and baboons.
• Humans are also primates. Their
brains more than twice the size of
those of other primates. Humans are
the most intelligent primates with the
most developed communication and
reasoning skills, and also walk upright
using two legs.
17. MARSUPIALS
• Mammals that give birth to tiny
helpless living young that crawl into
special abdominal pouch near the
mother’s mammary glands.
• Ex: koalas, wallabies, and kangaroos
• Newborn babies suck milk until hey
are big enough to be weaned, or
allowed to leave their mother’s
abdominal pouches.
• Most of them found in Australia and
other islands in South Pacific Ocean.
18. RODENTS
• Also called gnawing animals because of the
way they eat with their large incisors.
• Ex: squirrels, porcupines, chipmunks, and
beavers – North America; rabbits, hares, and
mice,
• Squirrels – have agile and flexible bodies,
string hind limbs, and bushy tails enable
them to climb up and live in trees, have four
big front teeth adapted for gnawing nuts and
seeds
• Porcupines – covered with black or brown
barbed spines and stiff hair used against
predators. They feed on plants-twigs, leaves,
and green plants.
• Chipmunks – small squirrel-like animal that
eat nuts, berries, seeds, and grains, which is
temporarily carried in its cheek pouches and
19. • Hares – similar to rabbits except their ears are longer usually with black
markings, and they have more prominent long hind legs, which they use
to move and run so swiftly to escape their enemies. They eat hard bark,
twigs, buds, and shoots.
• Mice – with pointed snout and small round ears, have poor eyesight but
a keen sense of hearing and smelling that they use to find food, and
they destroy crops, damage structures, and spread diseases through
their parasites and feces.
• Rabbits – herbivore rodents that are generally small and chubby. They
are social animals that they tend to share burrows with other animals.
They prefer softer food like grass and vegetables.
20. CETACEANS
• Mostly marine animals such as
whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Live
in water but they must come to the
surface to breathe air through their
blowholes or the nostrils on top of
their heads.

22. PROTOZOANS
• Simple, microscopic, and single-celled animals.
• too small to be seen with the naked eyes. They move, breathe, and
reproduce.
• Certain protozoans live in stagnant freshwater ponds, soil, and decaying
matter.
• They are the food sources of fish and other animals. Helpful also because
they eat dangerous bacteria.
• They can also be harmful because they can transmit diseases, such as
amoebiasis and giardiasis (intestines), also causes sleeping sickness.
• Ex: amoeba, paramecium, and euglena
23. Amoeba
- Clear shapeless cell
- Move slowly using its
pseudopodia or false
feet. It is also used to
engulf food.
Paramecium
- slipper-shaped
protozoan, that moves
with the use of cilia or
short hair-like
projections.
- Cilia works as paddles
through the water and
sweep food into its long
mouth-like opening.
Euglena
- cylindrical-shaped
protozoan that has a
flagellum or a whiplike
extension used for
movement.
- Flagellum is longer than
the cilia.
24. PORIFERANS
• Pore-bearing animals
• The bodies are thick-walled bags with pores that serve as the entrance of
water that carries the food materials.
• It appears in different colors – white, red, orange, yellow, green, and brown.
• Ex: sponges
– Vary in shape and size, form into flat, colorful mats in shallow water, also grow
tall and upright like a vase in deep and still waters.
– Some sponges has soft framework made of rubberlike spongin a protein fiber.
– Other sponges have framework of hard spikelike spicules (calcium carbonate or
silica)
– The sponge used for bathing and washing is the skeleton of one of the sponges
– Feed on very fine particles suspended in the water such as bacteria,
dinoflagellates, and other small plankton or tiny organism that cannot swim but
just drift in the water.
25.
26. COELENTERATES
• or cnidarians are radially symmetrical animals with tentacles around their
mouth.
• Ex: jellyfish and hydra
• Jellyfish
– Hollow umbrella-shaped bags, tentacles sting other animals and inject
poisonous substance, have mouth and tentacles that are directed downward
but move upward, tentacles used for movement and to capture food
• Hydra
– Slender cylindrical body with threadlike tentacles around the mouth that are
used to catch prey, stays on most unpolluted freshwater ponds, lakes, and
streams
27.
28. COELENTERATES
• Corals are also cnidarian
– Feed on tiny floating organisms called zooplanktons
– When die, skeletons remain and form coral reefs or rocklike structures in
tropical seas
29. PLATYHELMINTHS
• have long, flat, and ribbonlike bodies.
• They are parasitic, live on intestines and feed on the
digested food of their hosts
• Ex: flukes, tapeworms, and planarians
30. Fluke
- Worm invades in the liver,
bile duct, gallbladder,
intestine, or lung of certain
animals
- Parasite feed on blood and
produces eggs in the infested
organs,
- Infections occur after eating
fluke-infested raw or
undercooked fish or meat
Tapeworm
- Infest intestines of humans
and other vertebrates
- Gets into the body through
eating and drinking infected
with the worm’s larvae or eggs
- Feed on the food that host is
digesting
Planarian
- Simplest flatworm found in
freshwater or saltwater
- Maybe black, brown, gray, or
white
- Feeds on crustaceans and
other small worms
31. NEMATODES
• Round worm and considered parasites
• Taking in contaminated food and water, children play
barefoot can easily acquire the larvae of nematodes,
larvae enter through the skin of the feet
• Ex: ascarides, filarial worms, and hookworms
32. Ascarides/ascaris
- round, elongated, and
cylindrical intestinal worm
that infects human
- Adult ascarides (creamy white
or pinkish in color), male
ascarides (slender and
shorter than female)
- Reside in the intestines of
humans, leading to a
condition known as
ascariasis (infection on the
liningof the intestines)
- Ingested through
contaminated raw food or
soil particles
Filarial worm
- Small threadlike roundworms
carred as larvae by mosquitoes
and other biting insects
- Enters the skin and develops
in the lymphatic vessels
- Person infected develop tissue
swelling or elephantiasis –
enlargement of the limbs and
male genitals
Hookworms
- Grayish white or pinkish
roundworms with slightly bent
and hook-shaped heads
- Female hookworms are often
longer and stouter than male
- Infect humans by damaging
the lining of the intestines and
sucking
- Larvae penetrate the skin and
go to the small intestine,
nutrients of the human body
nourish the hookworms
33. ANNELIDS
• Have long cylindrical bodies that are divided into segments
• Ex:
• Leeches
– Parasitic segmented worms known as blood suckers (feed on blood from
animals)
– Have suckers at each end of the body,,
– Flattened and dark in color, often black or dark green
– Live in shallow, slow-moving freshwater, but certain leeches live in the ocean
and in moist soil.
• Earthworm – tubelike, segmented annelids that are found in the soil
– Burrows at night, hence, called as night crawler
– Its waste makes the soil fertile
34. ECHINODERMS
• Marine invertebrates with spines
• Use spine for protection against predators
• Have tube feet or podia with suckers that are used to move along a
substrate
• Have exoskeleton or external hard supporting structure
• Can reproduce new form from its detached part
• Ex: starfish used specimen in science classes
– Sea urchins with movable spine that is poisonous
– Sea cucumber grow underwater, and feed on algae and tiny aquatic
animals
– Sea lilies mouth located at the center and have five or more feathery
35.
36. MOLLUSKS
• Animals with soft fleshy bodies that are usually covered by shells
• Divided into 3 groups:
– Univalves covered by one piece of shell, ex: slugs and snails
– Bivalves covered with two pieces of shells, ex: clams, mussels, and oysters
– Head-footed mollusks body is not covered by shell, ex: squids and
octopuses

flat bodies with antennae and poisonous claws
– Millipedes is similar to centipedes, each segments has two pairs of legs,
move slower than centipedes, and feed on young plants or decaying plant
matter
