CHAPTER 32 – ANIMALS
32-1: The Nature of Animals
Two types of Animals: Vertebrates
Animals with a backbone
Invertebrates Animals without a
backbone Accounts for more
than 95% of all animal species
Characteristics of Animals Animals are:
Multicellular Heterotrophic Lack cell walls
Commonalities among animals: Sexual reproduction Movement
Characteristics of Animals MulticellularityMulticellularity
Contains lots of cells Estimated: humans = 50 to 100 trillion Without M.C. – large #of animals would not exist
Cells are dependent upon each other for presence of and/or functioning of other cells Biological hierarchy
Characteristics of Animals Divisions of Labor:
SpecializationSpecialization Adaptation of a cell for particular function
Example: building a house
Cell junctions Connections between cells for communication
Cells together as a UNIT Cells combine to form different types of tissues,
organs, organ systems MC + cell specialization have enabled organisms to
evolve + adapt to many environments
Characteristics of Animals HeterotrophyHeterotrophy
Must obtain energy + nutrients by taking in organic molecules, usually other living things Known as ingestioningestion
Characteristics of Animals Sexual Reproduction + Sexual Reproduction +
DevelopmentDevelopment Fusion of gametes – sperm + egg
Known as a zygote – diploid cell Undergoes continuous mitotic
division During this process, the cells become
different from each other Known as differentiationdifferentiation
Examples: bone cells, blood cells
Characteristics of Animals MovementMovement
Ability to move is a result of interaction between the nervous + muscular systems
Nervous cells, neuronsneurons, stimulate muscles to work
Origin + Classification 1st animals – arose in seas
Evolved from protists heterotrophic + eukaryotics organisms
Colonial protistsColonial protists Flagellated protists that lost movement (flagella) Over course of evolution, cells in colony grew more
specialized First step towards MULTICELLULARITY
Taxonomy of Animals Grouped according to phylogeny
Invertebrates (11 Phyla in Kingdom Animalia) Body plans range from asymmetry + no
tissues to bilateral symmetry + specialized body parts
Make up the greatest # of animal species
Chordates Phylum Chordata All chordates have 4 features at some time during
their development: NotochordNotochord – a firm, flexible rod of tissue in the dorsal
part of the body Turns into backbone in vertebrate species
Dorsal nerve cord Dorsal nerve cord – hollow tube above the notochord Turns into the brain + spinal cord
Pharyngeal pouches Pharyngeal pouches – small outpockets of anterior part of digestive tract Turns into respiratory system (gills, lungs)
Postanal tail Postanal tail – muscle tissue behind the posterior opening of the digestive tract

Body Structure SymmetrySymmetry
Body arrangement in which parts that lie on opposite sides of an axis are identical
Types of symmetry: AsymmetryAsymmetry – no pattern
Example - Sponge
Body Structure - Patterns RadialRadial
Parts are organized in a circle around an axis Examples: sea anemones, jellyfish, and hydra
Body Structure - Patterns Bilateral
Two similar halves on either side of a central plane Words used to describe bilateral
animals: DorsalDorsal – back side VentralVentral – belly side AnteriorAnterior – towards head PosteriorPosterior – towards tail CephalizationCephalization – concentration of
sensory + brain structures in anterior end of animal
Body Structure Germ Layers
Fundamental tissue layers found in the embryos of all animals No tissues – sponges 2 germ layers – cnidarians + ctenophores
DIPLOBLASTSDIPLOBLASTS
3 germ layers – all other animals TRIPLOBLASTSTRIPLOBLASTS
Body Structure Body Cavities
Fluid-filled space that forms between the digestive tract and outer wall of body during development (known as a coelom) No body cavity – flatworms Having a body cavity allows organisms to move:
Muscles can contract Does not allow internal organs to move Reservoir and medium for nutrient/waste
transport
Body Structure + Relatedness Similarities in body plans and patterns of
development allows organisms to be classified Use of phylogenetic trees + cladograms
The branches on the tree represents phylogenyphylogeny The more closely related organisms are to each other,
the closer the branches (recent common ancestorrecent common ancestor) The further apart organisms are on the tree, the more
distantly related they are thought to be
