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

Page 4: An invertebrate is an animal without a backbone.  The group includes 95% of all animal species.

Introdcution to Invertebrates

Animals are distinguished by their body cavity or lack of.

Page 5: An invertebrate is an animal without a backbone.  The group includes 95% of all animal species.

Introduction to Invertebrates

Acoelomates› lack a body cavity (coelom)› bilateral symmetry › one internal space, the digestive cavity

Page 6: An invertebrate is an animal without a backbone.  The group includes 95% of all animal species.

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

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

Page 10: An invertebrate is an animal without a backbone.  The group includes 95% of all animal species.

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

Page 12: An invertebrate is an animal without a backbone.  The group includes 95% of all animal species.

Introduction to Invertebrates

Phylum Cnidaria › Their distinguishing feature is a cnidocyte,

specialized cells that they use mainly for capturing prey.

Page 13: An invertebrate is an animal without a backbone.  The group includes 95% of all animal species.

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

Phylum Mollusca› Considered coelomates

Coelom is limited to space around the heart

Introduction to Invertebrates

Phylum Annelida Segmented Most have a pair of coeloms in each segment which allows independent movement

Coelomatic fluid

*Moist environments

Page 25: An invertebrate is an animal without a backbone.  The group includes 95% of all animal species.

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

Page 26: An invertebrate is an animal without a backbone.  The group includes 95% of all animal species.

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
