Phylogenetic relationships in Animal Kingdom
Ancestor of animals? Supporting evidence?
Choanoflagellate bc of Morphological & Molecular evidence
- This means that share key structures and functions.
- Share genes that encode certain proteins called Cadherins
( How animals cells attach each other)
( Cell signaling pathways)
Ch 32.
Phylogenetic relationships in Animal Kingdom
Basal taxon? Why?
Phylum Porifera (sponges)
- Lack tissues
- No hox genes
- asymmetrical
Ch 32
Phylogenetic relationships in Animal Kingdom
Emphasis on phylogenetic relationships in Animal Kingdom
look at the map
Ch 32.
Animal body plans
Types of Symmetry and Differences
Asymmetry - Animals cannot be divided into similar halves on any plane ( ex: sponges)
Radial Symmetry- Arrangement of parts around single main axis ( ex: jellyfish)
No true head—> only 2 tissue layers
+ Aboral & Oral (mouth)
Bilateral Symmetry- Arrangement of an organism along a central axis so organism can be divided into 2 equal halves (ex; humans, fish, snakes, etc) (more complexity)
+ Anterior (front), ventral (belly), dorsal (back/spine), posterior (bottom)
Ch 32.
Tissues
Diploblastic vs Triploblastic
What does gastrulation do?
Diploblastic = 2 embryonic tissue layers
Triploblastic = 3 embryonic tissue layers
During Gastrulation, germ layers forms various tissue and organs of the body
Ch 32.
Tissues
3 Types of Tissues
Know which structures each tissue layer gives rise to during embryonic development
Ectoderm = gives rise to outer covering of an animals and in some phyla (central nervous system)
Endoderm = gives rise to digestive tract and organs of vertebrates
Mesoderm = forms muscles and most organs b/w digestive tract and outer covering of the animal
Ch 32.
Body Cavities (*Coelom)
Define/Describe 3 Types of Body Cavities
Coelomates = possess a TRUE COELOM from mesoderm
- Mesenteries ( inner and outer layers of tissue surround cavity connect and form structure that suspend internal organs)
Pseudocoelomates (false) = possess a PSEDOCOELOM formed from mesoderm and endoderm (organs lies freely w/in cavity
Acoelmates = lack a body cavity (organs encased w/in body tissue
Ch 32.
Body Cavities
Be able to give examples of animals that posses each type of (3) Body Cavities
Coelomates = earthworms, mammals, reptiles
=> Have mesentaries (rounded and suspending internal organs)
Pseudocoelomates = nematodes
=> have false round, no mesentaries, no organ structure
Acoelomate = flat worm “Planaria)
=> solid mass not much for organ development (looks like a squashed triangle)
Trends of animal evolution
Simple —————> complex
Asymmetry —–> Radial —–> bilateral
sessile (attach to substrate & will not move) -> gentle stirrings/swim —-> Run, jump, walk…
Filter feeders ( nutrition) —-> herbivory, scavengar, detritivores —-> predatory
What are the benefits of body cavities?
- Facilitate larger body size
- May act as hydrostatic skeleton (support body but remain flexible)
- More room for organ development
- greater area for exchange
Ch 33.
Phylum Porifera
1) Unique characteristics
Sponges
- sessile & lack true tissues
- filter feeders
Two cell Layers
- gas exchange + waste removal by diffusion
Reproduction = Monoecious (one will have male + female sex cell)
some undergo asexual reproduction
Totipotent (cell capable in giving rise to any cell type with sponge)
Ameobocytes = Take up food and carry nutrient to other cells
- Make tough skeletal fibers called spicules (rigid) or flexible fibers w/ spongin (flexible)
Ch 33.
Phylum Porifera
2) Anatomy of sponge & function of cells types
Osculum= opening thru which water exits
Spongocoel = interior space
Choanocytes = flagellated cell w/ collar that function in filter feeding
Ch 33.
Phylum Cnidaria
1) unique Characteristics
2) Two body morphs
1) Sessile + motile form
- diploblastic (only 2 embryonic bodies = no body cavity)
- radial symmetry (oral + aboral)(based on location of mouth)
2) Polyps = Mouth/anus on top, body stalk on bottom * squiggly lines up
Medusa = mouth/anus on bottom *squiggly lines down
Ch 33.
Phylum Cnidaria
3) Know anatomical and physiological structures that were emphasized
Contain Cnidocytes= cells for defense and prey capture
- contain cnidae= organelles exploding outward
- Nemotocysts= stinging thread that penetrate body wall of prey
Nerve Net= response to stimulus (depends on stimulus strength)
Diffusion- travel by short distance, very quick, all cell contact by water
2 clades of cnidarians:
- Medusozoans= produce a Medusa (go thru alternation of generation)
- Anthozoans = polyp only, don’t go thru alterations of generation, gastrovascular cavity) Exoskeleton made up of calcium carbonate
Ch 33.
Phylum Cnidaria
4) Alternation of generations
meiosis- release egg + sperm
Dioecious (2 separate sexes)
Polyp= asexual, sessile form
Medusa= free swimming sexual generation
Larva = alternation of generations (Panula)

- Protonephridia network of tubules with ciliated structures called FLAME BULBS, pull fluid thru branched ducts opening to outside
- or allows osmoregulation
