Study Notes
Basis of Classification
- Animal classification is essential due to the over a million described species.
- It helps assign a systematic position to newly identified species.
- Common fundamental features for classification include arrangement of cells, body symmetry, coelom nature, and system patterns (digestive, circulatory, reproductive).
Levels of Organisation
- All members of Animalia are multicellular but display different cell organization:
- Cellular Level: Seen in sponges with loose cell aggregates and some division of labor among cells.
- Tissue Level: Observed in coelenterates where similar-function cells form tissues.
- Organ Level: Found in Platyhelminthes, where tissues group into specialized organs.
- Organ System Level: Present in Annelids, Arthropods, Molluscs, Echinoderms, and Chordates, where organs form functional systems for various physiological functions.
Digestive System Variations
- Incomplete Digestive System: Platyhelminthes have a single opening functioning as both mouth and anus.
- Complete Digestive System: Characterized by having both a mouth and anus.
Circulatory System Types
- Open Circulatory System: Blood is pumped out of the heart, bathing cells and tissues directly.
- Closed Circulatory System: Blood circulates through vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries).
Symmetry in Animals
- Asymmetrical Animals: Sponges do not divide evenly along any central plane.
- Further classification of animals can be established based on their symmetry types.
