Study Notes
Why Study Animal Diversity?
- Protecting biodiversity depends on understanding and identifying organisms.
- Knowledge of species names is essential for understanding and protecting them.
Animal Origins
- Some animals reproduce asexually through budding.
- Animals reproduce sexually through eggs and sperm.
Characteristics Distinguishing Animals
- Animals are multicellular and heterotrophic, meaning they obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms.
Body Cavities
- Acoelomate animals lack a body cavity, with muscles directly surrounding the gut.
- Pseudocoelomate animals have a fluid-filled space called a pseudocoelom between the gut and body wall muscles.
- Coelomate animals have a true body cavity (coelom) completely lined by a membrane called the peritoneum.
Functional Significance of the Coelom
- The coelom provides a space for the development and movement of internal organs.
- The fluid in the coelom acts as a hydrostatic skeleton, providing support for the body.
Segmentation
- Segmented bodies allow for specialized functions in different body regions.
- Segmentation allows for greater flexibility and movement.
Developmental Patterns
- Protostomes are a lineage of bilaterally symmetrical animals that includes most invertebrates.
- Deuterostomes include echinoderms, hemichordates, and chordates (vertebrates and invertebrates).
Coelom Development in Protostomes and Deuterostomes
- In protostomes, the coelom forms through schizocoely, where solid masses of mesoderm split to create the body cavity.
- In deuterostomes, the coelom forms through enterocoely, where pouches of the archenteron (primitive gut) pinch off to create the coelom.
