Study Notes
Animal Form and Function
- The study of animal form and function examines the relationship between the structure and the function of animals.
- The presentation covers various aspects of animal classification and organization.
Classification of Animals: Symmetry
- Asymmetrical: No plane divides the organism into equal halves (e.g., sponges).
- Radial Symmetry: Any plane passing through the central axis divides the organism into identical halves (e.g., coelenterates, ctenophores, echinoderms).
- Bilateral Symmetry: Only one plane divides the body into identical left and right halves (e.g., annelids, arthropods).
Classification of Animals: Germ Layers
- Diploblastic: Animals with two embryonic layers—ectoderm (outer) and endoderm (inner). An undifferentiated layer called mesoglea is present between these layers (e.g., coelenterates).
- Triploblastic: Animals with three germinal layers—ectoderm, mesoderm (middle), and endoderm (inner). These layers form during embryonic development (e.g., all more complex animals).
Embryonic Development
- Embryonic development involves the transformation of a single-celled zygote into a complex organism.
- The germinal stage lasts around 10 days. During this, the zygote undergoes cleavage (cell partitioning).
- Embryogenesis includes gastrulation followed by histogenesis (formation of tissues).
- Embryogenesis culminates with neurulation and organogenesis, contributing to the development of organs and organ systems.
Classification of Animals: Coelom
- Coelomates: Animals with a body cavity (coelom) fully lined by mesoderm (e.g., annelids, mollusks, arthropods, echinoderms, hemichordates, chordates).
- Pseudocoelomates: Animals with a body cavity not fully lined by mesoderm, instead having scattered pockets of mesoderm (e.g., aschelminthes).
- Acoelomates: Animals without a body cavity (e.g., platyhelminthes).
Classification of Animals: Notochord
- Chordates: Animals with a notochord, a mesodermally derived rod-like structure formed on the dorsal side during embryonic development (e.g., all vertebrates).
- Non-chordates: Animals that do not form a notochord (e.g., porifera, cnidaria, echinoderms).
Importance of Level of Organization in Animals
- Animal organization ranges from cellular (basic units) to tissue, organ, organ system, and the whole organism.
- Higher levels of organization regulate the function of lower levels.
- Cellular level enables fundamental processes like metabolism and reproduction.
- Organ systems coordinate among multiple organs.
- The level of organization determines an animal's complexity.
