Stinging cells of Cnidarians mouth Invertebrate: Platyhelminthes Flatworms tapeworm, planaria mostly parasitic bilaterally symmetrical tentacles sensory cell discharged nematocyst stinging cell allows high level of specialization within parts of the body now have a mouth at one end & an anus at the other! hydra trigger undischarged nematocyst stinging cell with nematocyst Invertebrate: Nematoda Roundworms bilaterally symmetrical have both mouth & anus many are parasitic Invertebrate: Mollusca Mollusks C. elegans clams, snails, squid bilaterally symmetrical (with exceptions) soft bodies, mostly protected by hard shells true coelem well-developed digestive system hookworm Invertebrate: Annelida Segmented worms earthworms, leeches segments are not specialized bilaterally symmetrical true coelem fan worm Invertebrate: Arthropoda Spiders, insects, crustaceans most successful animal phylum bilaterally symmetrical segmented allows jointed appendages leech exoskeleton chitin + protein 2
Arthropod groups Invertebrate: Echinodermata Starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumber arachnids 8 legs, 2 body parts spiders, ticks, scorpions radially symmetrical spiny exoskeleton crustaceans gills, 2 pairs antennae crab, lobster, barnacles, shrmp insects 6 legs, 3 body parts Invertebrate quick check Chordata Vertebrates Invertebrates: Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Echinodermata fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals hollow dorsal nerve cord internal bony skeleton Which group includes snails, clams, and squid? Which group is the sponges? Which are the flatworms? spinal column segmented worms? roundworms? skull-encased brain Which group has jointed appendages & an becomes gills or Eustachian tube exoskeleton? Which two groups are radially symmetrical? Which group has no symmetry? Oh, look your first baby picture! pharyngeal pouches postanal becomes tail tail or tailbone 450 mya becomes brain & spinal cord backbone encasing becomes vertebrae notochord salmon, trout, sharks Vertebrates: Fish Characteristics Transition to Land gills Evolution of tetrapods body structure bony & cartilaginous skeleton jaws & paired appendages (fins) scales body function gills for gas exchange body Humerus Femur Pelvis Lobe-finned fish Fibula Pelvis Femur Humerus reproduction external fertilization external development in aquatic egg Shoulder Radius two-chambered heart; single loop blood circulation ectotherms Ulna Tibia Tibia Fibula Ulna Shoulder Radius Early amphibian 3

Which vertebrates are covered with scales? What adaptations do birds have for flying? What kind of symmetry do all vertebrates have? Which vertebrates are ectothermic and which are endothermic Why must amphibians live near water? What reproductive adaptations made mammals very successful? What characteristics distinguish the 3 subgroups of mammals? 4
