Study Notes
Taxonomy and Phylogeny of Animals
- Taxonomy is the classification of organisms, based on relationships
- Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of an organism
Animal Classification and Relationships: The Beginning
- Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) created the current classification scheme
- Based on morphology (physical characteristics)
- Hierarchical taxonomic framework (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species)
- Binomial nomenclature uses two-part scientific names (e.g., Anguilla japonica)
Modern Phylogenetic Systematics - Cladistics
- Cladistics uses evolutionary relationships to categorize
- Organismal features used to create evolutionary trees (phylogenies)
- Homology - similarity from a common ancestor
- Homoplasy - similarity NOT from a common ancestor (convergent evolution)
Sources of Phylogenetic Information
- Comparative morphology (body shape and structure)
- Living and fossil records (anatomy development)
- Comparative biochemistry (gene and protein sequencing)
- Comparative cytology (chromosome structure)
Animal Architecture
- Levels of organization (cells → tissues → organs → organ systems)
- Organ systems and extracellular components
- Tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous)
- Body plans (symmetry, internal architecture)
Five Grades of Organization Within Animal & Animal-Like Groups
- Protoplasmic level: all life functions in one cell
- Cellular level: aggregated cells with specialized functions (not tissues)
- Cell-tissue level: cells aggregate into tissues (patterned layers)
- Tissue-organ level: tissues form organs (multiple tissue types)
- Organ-system level: organs work together for body functions
Organ Systems
- 11 organ systems in animals: digestive, circulatory, respiratory, immune, skeletal, endocrine, excretory, nervous, integumentary, reproductive, muscular
- Digestive system includes gastrointestinal (GI) tract and accessory organs (salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas)
Tissue Types
- Epithelial tissue covers surfaces and lines cavities
- Connective tissue supports and connects tissues and organs
- Muscular tissue allows movement
- Nervous tissue allows communication between body parts
Types of Epithelial Tissue
- Simple squamous (flattened cells)
- Simple cuboidal (short, box-like cells)
- Simple columnar (tall, elongated cells that absorb)
- Stratified squamous (layers)
- Transitional (stretches)
Extracellular Components
- Body fluids (intracellular and extracellular space)
- Extracellular structural elements (e.g., connective tissues like tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone, cuticle)
Body Plans
- Symmetry: asymmetrical, radial, bilateral
- Internal architecture: acoelomate (no body cavity), pseudocoelomate ("tube within a tube"), coelomate (true coelom)
