Kingdom Animalia
Animal Characteristics
• Animals are the most physically diverse
kingdom but share common characteristics.
• Most animals reproduce sexually.
Animal cells are
supported by collagen.
– three-stranded
protein
– found in bone,
skin, ligaments,
fingernails,
and hair
Most animals have Hox genes
• Homeotic genes control early development.
– Hox genes determine the position of cells’
differentiation.
– A Hox gene mutation leads to the development of a
body structure in the wrong position.

fruit fly genes
human
HOX-B genes
head
Hox genes tell embryonic cells
which body part to become.
tail
Mutations in Hox genes led to
the vast diversity of animal
species.
How are animals grouped into phyla?
• Three criteria are used to categorize
animals.
– Body plan symmetry
– Tissue layers
– Developmental patterns
Body plan symmetry
Asymmetry
(no symmetry)
Bilateral
(left/right)
Radial (circular,
around a central
axis)
• Animals are divided into
two major groups, the
protostomes and the
deuterostomes.
– Protostomes form the mouth
end of the digestive tract first
and the anus second.
– Deuterostomes form the anus
end of the digestive tract first
and then the mouth.
A comparison of structure and genetics
reveals the evolutionary history of animals.
• Protostomes and deuterostomes are the two major
radiations on the animal phylogenetic tree.

DEUTEROSTOMES
PROTOSTOMES
• Cells are differentiated into tissues during
development in all animals except sponges
– Cnidarians only have 2 layers
• Ectoderm (becomes skin and nerves)
• Endoderm (becomes digestive tract)
– All other animals have three layers
• Ectoderm and endoderm
• Mesoderm (becomes skeleton, muscles,
organs)
• In all except sponges and cnidarians, a body
cavity may develop
• Having a body cavity is an advantage, as it allows
for more internal space

Phylum Porifera
Sponges
Sponges are
asymmetrical
filter-feeders
Sponges are
hermaphrodites.
They are able to
produce both egg
& sperm cells.
But they DO NOT
self-fertilize.
Phylum Cnidaria
Jellyfish
Hydra
Sea Anemones and Coral
cnidocyte or
nematocyst
Cnidarians are NOT hermaphrodites. They have
separate males & females. They have external
fertilization.
Jellyfish
Hydra are much smaller than jellyfish
(almost microscopic). They use their
stinging tentacles to catch protozoans.
Sea
anemones
Coral
Coral live in colonies
that secrete a calcium
“shell” for protection
(reefs)
Phylum
Platyhelminthes
“Flatworms”
Planaria
Tapeworms
Flukes
 Acoelomate
 Protostome
development
 Cephalization
 Bilateral symmetry
 Two-way gut
Planaria live in
freshwater or in
soil.
Very small and have
eye spots to sense
light changes.
Tapeworms and flukes are entirely
parasitic. They typically live as larvae in
one host and as adults in another host.
Phylum Nematoda
“Roundworms”
• Pseudocoelomate
• Thickened exterior cuticle
• One-way gut
Many live in the soil
and freshwater.
Most are parasitic.
Phylum Annelida
“Segmented Worms”
Earthworms
Leeches
Ragworms
True coelomates
5 beating hearts– closed
circulatory system
Setae—bristles (for
anchoring & traction)
Earthworms
(terrestrial)
Leeches
(mostly freshwater)
Ragworms (marine)
Earthworms are
hermaphrodites– but
remember, they do
NOT self-fertilize.
They fertilize each
other.
The clitellum becomes
a cocoon for the eggs.
Phylum Mollusca
“Soft-bodied Animals”
Clams, mussels, oysters
Snails and slugs
Octopus and squid
•Many have shells
(“valves”)
•Three-part body
plan: head, visceral
mass, muscular foot
•Mucus-covered mantle
•Gills
•Contains smartest group of invertebrates

Insects
Trilobites (ancient/extinct)
Chelicerates (arachnids, horseshoe crabs)
Myriapods (millipedes, centipedes)
Crustaceans (barnacles, lobsters, crabs)
Hexapods (insects)
• Chitinous exoskeleton
which is shed (molted)
during growth
• Jointed appendages
Centipedes
Mostly harmless
Carnivores– eat
insects, grubs, other
centipedes

segment
Millipedes

Eat decaying material or
plant material
Some secrete poisonous
chemicals through their skin
as a defense

from fluffy cottony
cocoons.
Phylum Chordata
Tunicates
Lancelets
Vertebrates
All chordates have (for at least part
of the life cycle)…
•
•
•
•
•
Notochord (stiff rod of cartilage)  spine
Hollow dorsal nerve cord  spinal cord
Pharyngeal slits  gills
Post-anal tail
Endostyle
Tunicates -- “sea squirts”
Lancelets -- “sea squirts”
• Adults are sessile filter feeders
• Larvae have typical chordate
features
• Adults are burrowing filter
feeders that show primitive
chordate features
Subphylum Vertebrata
• Built along the basic chordate body plan
• Defining characteristic is the vertebral column
– Notochord  segmentation + stiffness
• Gills appear in all, lost in advanced forms
• Highly developed dorsal nervous system
– Invertebrates have ventral nervous system
