Basis of Animal Classification

Fundamental features common to various individuals, including cell arrangement, body symmetry, coelom nature, and system patterns.

Cellular Level Organisation

Cells arranged as loose aggregates with some division of labor.

Tissue Level Organisation

Cells performing the same function are arranged into tissues

Organ Level Organisation

Tissues are grouped together to form organs, each specialized for a particular function.

Study Notes

Basis of Classification

  • Despite differences in structure and form among animals, fundamental features are common to individuals
  • Common features relate to cell arrangement, body symmetry, coelom nature, and digestive, circulatory or reproductive system patterns
  • These features serve as the foundation for animal classification

Levels of Organisation

  • Animalia members are multicellular, but do not all share the same cell organization pattern
  • Sponges have a cellular level of organization
  • In sponges, cells are arranged as loose aggregates
  • Division of labor (activities) occurs among the cells
  • Coelenterates have cells arranged into tissues performing the same function
  • Coelenterates exhibit a tissue level of organization
  • Platyhelminthes exhibit an organ level of organization
  • An organ level is when tissues group together to form specialized organs
  • Annelids, Arthropods, and Molluscs are examples of animals with this level of organization
