24
Arthropoda phylum
Most populous animals in earth have exoskeletons and many appendages with joints can survive in almost any environment crabs crayfish spiders and insects
25
Arthropod
Joints and feet
26
Mollusca phylum
Very soft bodies and hard shell containing calcium has mantle few have an endoskeleton almost reach complexity of human organ system clams oysters snails octopus
27
Mantle
Blanket like organ creates the calcium containing shell
28
Endoskeleton
Shell inside body
29
Echinodermata phylum
Radial symmetry have 5 or more arms extending from center if body have endoskeleton composed of calcium with spines extending through body wall have water filled system starfish sea urchins sand dollars sea cucumbers
30
Radial symmetry
Where parts if body are arranged around a central axis allows animal ti move from all sides
31
Hydraulic pressure
Moves feet with water
32
Chordata phylum
Posses hollow nerve along their dorsal side all along body have notochord along body have pharyngeal pouches most complex fish amphibians reptiles birds mammals
33
Notochord
Hard solid structure composed of cartilage or bone that rubs length of body develops into all bones in exoskeleton
34
Pharyngeal pouches
In neck or pharynx where lungs or gills grow
35
Vertebrates
Contain backbone composed of cartilage or bone forms anchoring which muscles and bones attach which let them have great speed and strength
