15. Introduction to KingdomAnimalia
Dorsal- top or back
Ventral- bottom
Anterior- head end that goes first
Posterior- tail end that follows
Lateral- along the side (lengthwise)
23. Asymmetrical
Pores—filter feeders
Not motile (sessile)
Provide habitat for
other animals
Eaten by starfish and
some fish
Most primitive animal
24. Digestive cavity called a
coelenteron
Radial symmetry
Predators-feed on
crustaceans
Corals provide important
habitat for fish
Coral used for decoration
and threatened by
pollution
All have stinging cells
25. Bilateral symmetry
Cephalization- head and
brain
Acoelomate- no body
cavity
Incomplete digestive
system (one opening)
Some are parasites in
digestive tract
In early 1900’s models ate
them to be thin—YUK!
26. Also called nematodes
Complete digestive
system-separate mouth
and anus (2 openings)
Pseudocoelomate
Decomposers, predators
(bacteria, inverts)
Eaten by insects, mice
Beneficial to garden by
eating insects
27. i.e. earthworms, leeches
True coelom
Sensitive to vibrations on
ground-rain
Prey for robins, shrews,
jays, snakes
Leeches have cornified
knobs to break skin,
anticoagulant and
anesthetic
28. i.e. snails, slugs, clams,
mussels, scallops,
oysters, octopus and
squid
Variety in form
Giant squid = sea
serpent
Introduction of garden
snails
29. i.e. insects, spiders and
scorpions, shellfish
(crustaceans), centipedes
(1 pr legs per segment),
millipedes (2 pr)
Exoskeleton
Metamorphosis
Pheromones
Molting
30. i.e. sea stars = starfish,
sea urchins
Water vascular system
Tube feet
Important predators
