Introduction to Invertebrates
An invertebrate is an animal without a backbone.
The group includes 95% of all animal species
Introduction to Invertebrates
There is no escaping the invertebrates! Sharing space on your face
Introdcution to Invertebrates
Animals are distinguished by their body cavity or lack of.
Introduction to Invertebrates
Acoelomates› lack a body cavity (coelom)› bilateral symmetry › one internal space, the digestive cavity
Introduction to Invertebrates
Coelomates have a body cavity(s)
Digestive system and body wall can move independently
Internal organs can be more complex
Coelomic fluid can assist with respiration, circulation, excretion
Introduction to Invertebrates
The good the bad and the ugly!!!
Introduction to Invertebrates
Phylum Porifera Phylum Cnidaria Phylum Platyhelminthes Phylum Mollusca Phylum Annelida
Introduction to Invertebrates
Phylum Porifera Sponges
Sessile aquatic animals
Some are freshwater species, most are marine
shapes of their bodies are adapted to maximize the efficiency of the water flow
Introduction to Invertebrates
Phylum Cnidaria› (pronounced nidaria/ with a silent c)
› phylum containing over 9,000 species of animals found exclusively in aquatic and mostly marine environments
Jellyfish Hydra
Introduction to Invertebrates
Phylum Cnidaria Two basic body forms are seen : swimming medusa and sessile polyps
Introduction to Invertebrates
Phylum Cnidaria › Their distinguishing feature is a cnidocyte,
specialized cells that they use mainly for capturing prey.
Introduction to Invertebrates
Phylum Cnidaria Have no brains or central nervous systems
Instead they have nerve nets that generate signals in response to various types of stimulus, such as odors
Introduction to Invertebrates
Phylum Platyhelminthes Flatworms
› Planarian › Fluke› Tapeworm
no specialized circulatory or respiratory organs
Over half of all known flatworm species are parasitic, and some do enormous harm to humans and their livestock
oxygen and nutrients to pass through their bodies by diffusion
Introduction to Invertebrates
Phylum Platyhelminthes
Taenia solium
Introduction to Invertebrates
Phylum Mollusca› Considered coelomates
Coelom is limited to space around the heart

Cool Squid Stuff to look forDuring dissections
Introduction to Invertebrates
Phylum Annelida Segmented Most have a pair of coeloms in each segment which allows independent movement
Coelomatic fluid
*Moist environments
Introduction to Invertebrates› Phylum Annelida › Respiratory system
(usually) no specialized organs for gas exchange Thin, permeable body wall – surface for gas exchange
› Digestive system complete digestive system, with mouth and anus digestive tubes of earthworms have special structures, like a muscular wall
and a gizzard-peristalsis
Introduction to Invertebrates
› Phylum Annelida › Nervous system
two ventral nerve chords one relatively big nervous cell concentration
› Circulatory system› Closed› Move by peristalsis -waves of contractions and expansions› 2 main vessels
Dorsal moves blood anterior Ventral moves blood posterior
