Traits
Characteristics of Animals
• All multicellular (metazoans)
• Eukaryotes (cells with nucleus &
organelles)
• Ingestive heterotrophs (take in
food and internally digest it)
• Store food reserves as
glycogen
Lions Feeding (Ingestion)
Support Systems
• Have some type of skeletal support
• Endoskeleton inside and made of
cartilage &/or bone
• Exoskeletons found in arthropods
– Cover the outside of the body
– Limit size
– Must be molted making animal
vulnerable to predators
Cicada Molting Exoskeleton
Support Systems
• Worms and
echinoderms
(starfish) have
fluid-filled internal
cavities giving them
support
• Called hydrostatic
skeletons
Movement
• Animals such as sponges may be
sessile (attached & non-moving)
• Animals that move very little
are said to be sedentary (clam)
• Animals that can move are
motile
• Have muscular tissue to provide
energy for movement

Reproduction in Animals
• All animals are capable of
sexual reproduction
• Some animals like sponges and
earthworms are hermaphrodites
producing both eggs and sperm
• Hermaphrodites may exchange
sperm and NOT fertilize their
own eggs
Leeches Exchange Sperm
During Mating

Mating
Reproduction in Animals
• Females of some animals
produce eggs, but the eggs
develop without being fertilized
• Called Parthenogenesis
• New offspring will be all female
Parthenogenesis occurs in some
fishes, several kinds of insects,
and a few species of frogs and
lizards

Behaviors
Levels of Organization
• Sponges are the ONLY animals that
have just the cellular level
• All other animals show these levels
– cell, tissue, organ, and system
• Cells may specialize (take own
different shapes and functions)
• Cells are held together by cell
junctions to form tissues

the phylum includes: fish,
amphibians, reptiles, birds, and
mammals

Symmetry
Body Symmetry
Body Symmetry
• Symmetry is the
arrangement of body
parts around a
central plane or axis
• Asymmetry occurs
when the body can’t
be divided into
similar sections
(sponges)
Body Symmetry
• Radial symmetry occurs when
body parts are arranged around
a central point like spokes on a
wheel (echinoderms)
• Most animals with radial
symmetry are sessile
(attached) or sedentary (move
very little)
Body Symmetry
• Bilateral symmetry occurs when
animals can be divided into
equal halves along a single plane
• Organisms will have right and
left sides that are mirror
images of each other
• More complex type of
symmetry
Body Symmetry
• Animals with bilateral symmetry
are usually motile
• Animals have an anterior and
posterior ends
• Show cephalization
(concentration of sensory
organs on the head or anterior
end)
Segmentation
Segmentation
• Occurs whenever animal bodies are
divided into repeating units or
segments
• Found in more complex animals
• Earthworms show external
segmentation
• Humans show internal segmentation
(backbone)
• Segments may fuse (cephalothorax)
Segmentation
cephalothorax
Tissues
Tissue Development
• Zygote (fertilized egg)
undergoes rapid cell divisions
called cleavage
• Forms a hollow ball of cells called
the blastula
Blastula
•The blastocoel is the center cavity
of the blastula with 1 germ layer
(blastoderm)
Tissue Development

• The blastula
INVAGINATES
(folds inward at one
point)
• Called Gastrulation
• The opening is
called the
blastopore
• The center is the
primitive gut or
Archenteron

Archenteron

blastopore
Tissue Development
• Blastopore may become the
mouth (Protostome) or anus
(Deuterostome)
• Protostomes (mollusks,
arthropods, & annelids)
• Deuterostomes (echinoderms &
vertebrates)
• Some animals form a middle
germ layer called mesoderm
Embryonic Development
Germ Layers
• Form tissues, organs, &
systems
• NOT present in sponges
• Ectoderm (outer) – forms
skin, nerves, sense
organs
• Endoderm (inner) – forms
liver and lungs
• Mesoderm (middle) –
forms muscles & other
systems
Body Layers
• Sponges have NO tissues or
organs, only specialized cells
• Cnidarians like jellyfish & coral
have only two body layers &
one body opening (mouth/anus)
into gastrovascular cavity
• Cnidarians have outer epidermis
& inner gastrodermis with jellylike mesoglea between the
layers
Body Layers
• All worms,
mollusks,
arthropods,
echinoderms, and
vertebrates have
three cell layers
– Ectoderm
– Endoderm
– mesoderm
Embryonic Cleavage
Cleavage
• Cleavage – rapid mitosis
(cell division) of zygote
• Radial Cleavage – cells
divide parallel or
perpendicular to axis to
each other
Cleavage
• Spiral Cleavage –
cellular divisions occur
diagonally, in a
twisting pattern
Stages of Development
Larval Forms
•
•
•
•

Animals with Indirect development
Go through immature (larval) forms
Larva does NOT resemble adult
Cnidarian (jellyfish, coral, & sea
anemone) larva called Planula
Larval Forms
• Mollusk (squid & octopus) larva
called trochophore
• Echinoderm (starfish) larva is
called Dipleurula
Metamorphosis
• Usually found in arthropods
• May be complete or incomplete
• Incomplete Metamorphosis:
egg
nymph
adult
• Complete Metamorphosis:
egg
larva
pupa
adult
Metamorphosis

COMPLETE

INCOMPLETE
Body Cavities
Coelom - Body Cavity

• Internal body cavity fully lined
with mesoderm
• Body organs suspended in this
cavity
Coelom - Body Cavity
• Acoelomate animals have solid
bodies filled with cells
• Acoelomate animals include
sponges, cnidarians, & flatworms
Coelom - Body Cavity
• Pseudocoelomate animals
(roundworms) have a functional
body cavity NOT fully lined
with mesoderm
Animal Systems
Support Systems
•
•
•

Spongin & spicules (sponges)
Limestone cases (corals)
Exoskeletons of Chitin
(arthropods)
Limits size
Must be shed or molted to
grow
Animal vulnerable to
predators during molting
Support Systems
• Hydrostatic skeleton – fluid
filled body cavity (worms)
• Inner Calcium plates or Test
(echinoderms)
• Bone and/or cartilage
endoskeleton (vertebrates)
Exoskeletons Must Be Molted
Endoskeletons Grow with the
Animal
Digestive Systems
• All animals are ingestive
heterotrophs
• Choanocytes (specialized cells)
capture & digest food for
sponges
• Gastrovascular cavity with one
opening in cnidarians and
flatworms for food to enter &
leave; called two-way digestive
system
Gastrovascular Cavity with Mouth
Only (Cnidarians)
Two-Way Digestion
Digestive Systems
• Animals with a one-way digestive
system have a mouth and an anus
• Food enters the mouth, continues
in one direction through the
digestive tract, and wastes leave
through the anus
• Includes annelids, arthropods, &
vertebrates
One-Way Digestion
Mouth

anus
Circulatory Systems
• Transports oxygen & nutrients
to cells
• Carries away wastes & carbon
dioxide from cells
• Sponges, cnidarians, &
flatworms do NOT have
circulatory systems
Circulatory Systems
• In closed circulation, blood
remains inside blood vessels
until it reaches cells (annelids &
vertebrates)
• In open circulation, blood is
pumped out of blood vessels to
bathe tissues in the body
cavity or hemocoel (arthropods
& mollusks)
Open
Circulation

Closed
Circulation
Respiratory System
• Taking in O2 & releasing CO2
• Gases can diffuse across moist
surfaces (earthworms)
• Gills filter O2 from water
(aquatic animals)
• Lungs take O2 from air
(terrestrial animals)
Skin breather

Gills
Lungs
Nervous System
• Coordinates the activities of the
animal’s body
• Neurons – nerve cells that
transmit electrochemical signals
• Nerve net - network of neurons,
very little coordination
• Ganglion – clusters of neurons; may
serve as a simple brain
• Brain – control center at anterior
end
Excretory System
• Excretion is the removal of
nitrogen wastes from the body
• Diffusion is used by simple
aquatic animals
• Flame cells remove wastes in
flatworms
Excretory System
• Coiled tubules called nephridia
remove nitrogen wastes in
arthropods
• Terrestrial animals remove
wastes with Kidneys
– May be paired (most
vertebrates)
– May be single as in birds
Reproductive System
• Reproduction is the process by
which organisms make more of
their own kind
• All animals reproduce by sexual
reproduction (produce eggs and
sperm)
• Some animals also use asexual
reproduction creating identical
offspring
Types of Animal Asexual
Reproduction
• Regeneration or
Fragmentation is the
breaking off of
pieces and the regrowth of a new
organism
• Found in simple
animals like Sponges
and Flatworms
• Budding occurs in hydra
whenever a growth on the
parent is released
• Creates a clone
• Parthenogenesis – females
produce eggs that develop
unfertilized into female organisms
• Komodo dragon is an example
• Hermaphrodite are animals like
earthworms that produce BOTH
eggs and sperm
• Most hermaphrodites do NOT
fertilize their own eggs
• Mate to exchange sperm
Fertilization
• External – sperm and eggs are
released into water where they
are fertilized
• Internal – sperm and egg are
fertilized inside the female
animal’s body
