Chapter 23: The Animal Kingdom Lecture Outline Enger, E. D., Ross, F. C., & Bailey, D. B. (2012). Concepts in biology (14th ed.). New York: McGraw- Hill. 1 23-1
What is an animal? 23-2 Eukaryotic Multicellular Have specialized cells Many have sensory cells that detect changes in the environment. Lack cell walls Heterotrophic Most can move Most reproduce sexually
Variety of Animals See Figure 23.1 23-3
The Evolution of Animals 23-4 Early animals were all aquatic. The first animals were likely small organisms that floated/swam in the ocean or worms that lived on the ocean floor. These animals didn t need to Deal with rapid or extreme environmental changes Deal with dehydration Expend energy to keep cells in osmotic balance Terrestrial animals appeared relatively recently. Arthropods and vertebrates have been the most successful. 99.9% of all animals are invertebrates. Invertebrates lack a backbone. Vertebrates have a backbone.
Animal Evolution See Figure 23.2 23-5
Temperature Regulation Body temperature impacts the rate of metabolic activity. Poikilotherms Body temperature varies with environmental temperature Metabolic rate decreases as temperature decreases Also called ectotherms Regulate body temperature behaviorally (sunning, moving) Insects, worms, reptiles 23-6
Temperature Regulation Homeotherms Maintain a constant body temperature Body temperature usually higher than environmental temperature Have high metabolic rates Have higher energy needs than poikilotherms Also called endotherms 23-7
Regulating Body Temperature See Figure 23.3 23-8
Body Plans Animal bodies conform to a few basic body plans. 23-9
Symmetry 23-10 Asymmetry No pattern to individual parts Only occurs in sponges Radial symmetry Body constructed across a central axis Dividing the body in any plane along that axis results in two identical parts These animals do not have a head Starfish, jellyfish Bilateral symmetry Both sides of a single plane are mirror images These animals have a head Move head-first (cephalization)
Radial and Bilateral Symmetry See Figure 23.4 23-11
Embryonic Cell Layers 23-12 Animals differ in the number of cell layers of which they are composed. These layers are established and most easily seen in the embryonic stage. Sponges have no body layers. Diploblastic Two body layers Endoderm Gives rise to inner hollow layer involved in processing food Ectoderm Jellyfish Gives rise to outer protective layer
Embryonic Cell Layers Triploblastic Have three layers Endoderm Gives rise to lining of digestive tract Mesoderm Gives rise to muscles and connective tissue Ectoderm Gives rise to skin and nervous system All other major groups are triploblastic. 23-13
Embryonic Cell Layers See Figure 23.5 23-14
Body Cavities Many animals have a body cavity that separates the outer body wall from the gut. Called a coelom Acoelomate Contain no body cavity Sponges, jellyfish, and flatworms Pseudocoelomate Located between the lining of the gut and the outer body wall Nematodes 23-15
Body Cavities Coelomate This is the cavity that contains the digestive, excretory, and circulatory organs. Organs are held in place by sheets of connective tissue called mesenteries. The presence of the coelom allows for separation of inner organs and body-wall muscles. This allows the organ systems to be more specialized. 23-16
Body Cavities See Figure 23.6 23-17
Segmentation 23-18 Segmented animals have bodies that are separated into several units. These units run along the anterior to posterior axis of the animal. Associated with specialization of body parts Annelids, arthropods, and chordates Annelid segments are all very similar. Arthropods have specialized head segments. Posterior segments have legs and appendages. Chordate segments are most obvious in the vertebral column and musculature.
Segmentation See Figure 23.7 23-19
Skeletons Skeletons are body parts that provide support. Serves as a scaffolding for the attachment of organs Provides a place for muscles to attach Most important in terrestrial animals 23-20
Skeletons 23-21 Types of skeleton Endoskeleton internal Vertebrates Grows as the animal grows Exoskeleton external Arthropods Hard and jointed Shed and regenerated as animal grows Water skeletons Fluid-filled coeloms Compressed by muscles to facilitate movement
Skeletons See Figure 23.8 23-22
Marine Lifestyles: Zooplankton A mixture of different kinds of small animals Drift with currents Feed on phytoplankton and other zooplankton 70% are crustaceans Copepods, krill, etc. 23-23
Marine Lifestyles: Nekton Includes many kinds of aquatic animals that can swim against the current Go where they want to Carnivores Feed on plankton or other nekton Jellyfish, squid, cuttlefish, shrimp, sharks, bony fish, turtles, sea snakes, aquatic birds, and mammals 23-24
Marine Lifestyles: Benthic Animals 23-25 Bottom-dwelling animals Includes Segmented worms, clams, snails, lobsters, crabs, shrimp, starfish, sea urchins, several kinds of fish Two types Those that move to find food Filter feeders Attached to objects Are sessile Create currents with cilia or use appendages to draw food to them
Marine Lifestyles: Benthic animals Reproduction is difficult for sessile animals because they cannot move. Sperm swim to the eggs. Fertilized egg develops into mobile larva Enables sessile animals to disperse Uses a different source of food from adults to minimize competition 23-26
The Life Cycle of an Oyster See Figure 23.9 23-27
Primitive Marine Animals: Porifera Similar to colonial protozoa Have two layers of cells All cells come in contact with the environment. Each individual cell gets its nutrition directly from the water. Adults are sessile (non-motile). Most are asymmetrical. Have spicules in a jelly-like material Spicules are made of calcium carbonate, silicon dioxide, or protein. Reproduce asexually by fragmentation or budding Reproduce sexually by external fertilization Sperm and egg unite in the water Fertilized egg develops into free-swimming ciliated larva 23-28
Sponge Structure and Function See Figure 23.10 23-29
Primitive Marine Animals: Cnidaria 23-30 Jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones Have two layers of cells Jelly-like material in between cell layers Show radial symmetry Have a single opening that leads to digestive cavity Opening surrounded by tentacles Contain specialized cells called nematocytes that can sting and paralyze The cells that produce nematocytes are called cnidocytes.
Phylum Cnidaria See Figure 23.11 23-31
Cnidaria Exhibit alternation of generations Have both sexual and asexual reproduction Medusa is the freeswimming adult stage that reproduces sexually. Polyp is a sessile larval stage that reproduces asexually. See Figure 23.12 23-32
Ctenophora: The Comb Jellies See figure 23-13 23-33
Platyhelminthes Also called flatworms Bilaterally symmetrical Triploblastic Lack a coelom Have one opening to the gut Have no circulatory or respiratory systems Their flat body allows for the diffusion of gases between environment and all cells. 23-34
Platyhelminthes Three basic types Free-living flatworms (planarians) Bottom-dwellers in aquatic environments Some live in moist terrestrial habitats Carnivores or scavengers that feed on dead organisms Flukes Parasitic Tapeworms Parasitic 23-35
Platyhelminthes See figure 23.14 23-36
Flukes All are parasites (some external, most internal). Life cycles usually involve a vertebrate and invertebrate host. Example: Schistosoma mansoni 23-37
Life Cycle of Schistosoma mansoni See figure 23.15 23-38
Tapeworms All are parasites. Life cycles involve two hosts an herbivore and a carnivore (both vertebrates). 23-39
Life Cycle of a Tapeworm See figure 23.16 23-40

Annelids See Figure 23.20 23-49
Mollusca Live in marine, freshwater, or terrestrial environments Majority live in the ocean Have a coelom Reproduce sexually Some are hemaphroditic Have a soft body enclosed by a hard shell 23-50
Mollusca Most are slow moving, benthic animals Most are herbivores or saprophytes Have free-living larval forms that aid in dispersal Have three body regions Mantle, foot, and visceral mass Visceral mass contains digestive, circulatory, and reproductive organs. Most have a radula with teeth. Used to scrape surfaces for food 23-51

Invertebrate Chordates See Figure 23.27 23-65
Types of Aquatic Vertebrates: Fishes Hagfish and lampreys are the most primitive fish. Hagfish are marine scavengers. Lampreys are mainly marine (some freshwater). Adults suck blood from larger fish. See Figure 23.28 23-66
Types of Aquatic Vertebrates: Fishes Sharks and rays Have an internal skeleton made of cartilage Have no swim bladder, so must constantly swim or they sink Rays feed along bottom. Sharks are predatory. See Figure 23.29 23-67
Types of Aquatic Vertebrates: Fishes Bony fish Have skeletons composed of bones Have a swim bladder that controls their density Allows them to remain at a given depth without swimming See Figure 23.30 23-68
Adaptations to Terrestrial Life Animals that live on land have to overcome certain problems. A moist membrane for gas exchange Means of support and locomotion on land Methods to conserve water Means of reproduction and embryonic development that doesn t require water Methods to survive rapid and extreme climate changes 23-69
Terrestrial Arthropods Exoskeleton Waterproof, which reduces water loss Have an internal respiratory system Tracheal system of thinwalled tubes Provides a large surface area for gas-exchange Have small openings to the outside, reducing water loss See Figure 23.31 23-70
Terrestrial Arthropods Have Malpighian tubules Thin-walled tubes that surround the gut Allows for reabsorption of water Reproduce by internal fertilization Protects sperm and egg from drying out Can reproduce rapidly when conditions become favorable 23-71
The Life History of a Monarch Butterfly See Figure 23.32 23-72
Terrestrial Vertebrates Endoskeleton Provides support in the air Provides places for muscle attachment Allows for movement on land Appendages are necessary for movement on land. 23-73
Amphibians Lungs Allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide from the air Amphibians also breathe through their skin. Skin must remain moist External reproduction in water Frogs and salamanders 23-74
Amphibians See Figure 23.33 23-75
Reptiles 23-76 Have internal lungs Have waterproof skin Have water-conserving kidneys Reproduce via internal fertilization Fertilized egg is encased in an amniotic egg Protects the young from dehydration and injury Young need water to develop. See Figure 23.34
