Study Notes
Animal Kingdom Classification
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Characteristics: Multicellular organisms
- Levels of Organization: Cellular, tissue, organ, and organ system levels
- Symmetry: Radial (with multiple planes of symmetry), mostly asymmetrical, bilateral (with one plane of symmetry)
- Body Cavity: Acoelomates (without body cavity), Pseudocoelomates (with a false body cavity), and coelomates (with a true body cavity)
- True coelem
- Phyla: Porifera, Coelenterata, Ctenophora, Platyhelminthes, Aschelminthes, Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata, Hemichordata, Chordata are examples of phyla.
