NEET BIOLOGY CHAPTER 4 ANIMAL KINGDOM NOTES

Basis of classification

          The classification of the animal kingdom is based on the different essential characteristics such as level of organization, habitat, symmetry.

Levels of Organization

• Cellular Level of Organization
• Tissue Level of Organization
• Organ Level of Organization
• Organ system Level of Organization

Patterns of organ systems

• Digestive System (Incomplete Digestive System and Complete Digestive System)
• Circulatory System
• Open Type
• Closed Type

Body symmetry

• Bilateral Symmetry
• Radial Symmetry
• Asymmetrical

Levels of Organisation

          All members of Animalia are multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes. But, all of them do not exhibit the same pattern of organization of cells. The cells in their body are of several types. These are organized into several functional units of progressively increasing complexity.

Cellular Level

          In this level, the body shows some division of labour among cells. They are remarkably independent and can change their form and function. It is found in sponges. The body consists of many cells arranged as loose cell aggregates but, the cells do not form tissues.

Tissue Level

          Here, in coelenterates, the arrangement of cells is more complex. The cells performing the same function are arranged into tissues, hence is called tissue level of organization.

Organ Level

          In Platyhelminthes and other higher phyla, tissues are grouped together to form organs, each specialized for a particular function, i.e., organ level organization is present.

Organ System Level

          In animals like annelids, arthropods, molluscs, echinoderms and chordates, organs have associated to form functional systems, each system concerned with a specific physiological function. This is called organ system level of organisation. Organ systems in different groups of animals exhibit various patterns of complexities.

          Like the digestive system in Platyhelminthes has only a single opening to the outside of the body that serves as both mouth and anus and is thus, called incomplete.

          A complete digestive system has two openings, i.e., mouth and anus.

Symmetry

          The symmetry refers to the arrangement of parts on the opposite sides of the body of a three dimensional animal.

On the basis of symmetry, animals can be of following types:

Asymmetrical:

          Animals in which, any plane passes through the center does not divide them into equal halves such animals are called asymmetrical, e.g., Sponges.

Symmetrical:

          The body of some animals can be divided into two similar equal halves by one or more planes. Such animals are called symmetrical

The symmetry can be further divided as:

Radial Symmetry

          When any plane passing through the central axis of the body divides the organism into two identical halves, it is called radial symmetry, e.g., Coelenterates, ctenophores and echinoderms.

Bilateral Symmetry:

          In some animals, body can be divided into identical left and right halves in only one plane. This is called bilateral symmetry, e.g., Annelids, arthropods, etc.

Diploblastic and Triploblastic Organisation

          Germ layers are group of cells behaving as a unit during early stages of embryonic development. It differentiate to give rise to all the tissues/ organs of the fully formed individuals.

On the basis of germ layers animals are classified as follows:

Diploblastic

          Animals in which the cells are arranged in two embryonic layers an external ectoderm and an internal endoderm, are called diploblastic animals. In addition, an undifferentiated layer, mesoglea is present in between the ectoderm and the endoderm. e.g., Coelenterates.

Triploblastic

          The animals in which the developing embryo has a third germinal layer mesoderm, in between the ectoderm and endoderm are called triploblastic animals, e.g., All animals from phylum-Platyhelminthes to phylum-Chordata.

Coelom

          The body cavity (between the body wall and gut wall) which is lined by mesoderm is called coelom. The presence or absence of coelom is very important in classification. On the basis of coelom, animals can be classified in three different groups.

Acoelomates

The animals in which the body cavity is absent are called acoelomates, e.g., Poriferans, platyhelminthes, coelenterates, ctenophors and flatworms.

Pseudocoelomates

In some animals, the body cavity is not lined by mesoderm. Instead, the mesoderm is present as scattered pouches in between the ectoderm and endoderm. Such a body cavity is called pseudocoelom and the animals possessing them are called pseudocoelomates, e.g., Aschelminthes.

Coelomates

          The animals having true coelom are called coelomates. A true coelom arises within mesoderm and is therefore, lined by mesodermal tissues, i.e., externally by parietal peritoneum and internally by visceral peritoneum.

Body Plan

          Animals have three types of body plans. These are:

          Cell aggregate plan: The body consists of a cluster or aggregation of cells which have rudimentary differentiation but are not organized into tissues or organs. The cells are specialized, organised into tissues and show division of labour. It is found in coelenterates and flatworms.

Blind sac body plan

          A blind sac body plan is characterized by a digestive cavity that has a single aperture, which functions as mouth and anus. The cells are specialized and they have a division of labour. Digestion is both intracellular and extracellular. Coelenterates are diploblastic animals and possess a blind sac body plan. The body has a single aperture that functions as mouth and anus. The opening is guarded by tentacles which helps to catch the prey. The digestion takes place in the gastrovascular cavity.

Tube Within a Tube Body Plan

          Overview of Tube Within A Tube Body Plan. Embryological development: Most of the metazoans possess tubes within the tube body plan and it mainly relies on the development of germ layers and the central cavity coelom.

Segmentation

          In some animals, the body is externally and internally divided into segments or somites with a serial repetition of at least some organs.

There are two types of segmentation:

Metameric Segmentation:

          A segmentation that simultaneously divides body both externally and internally is called metamerism or metameric segmentation. This kind of segmentation is found in annelids, arthropods and chordates.

Pseudometamerism:

          It is found in tapeworm, the body is divisible into parts or segments called proglottides. They develop from the neck but are not embryonic in or T n r a repetition which appears due to repeated budding as known as false segmentation or pseudometamerism.

Notochord

          It is a mesodermally derived rod-like structure formed on the dorsal side during embryonic development in some animals.

          Animals with notochord are called chordates and those animals which do not form this structure are called non-chordates, e.g., Porifera to echinoderms.

Cephalisation

          It is the differentiation of head in anterior part of the body. It involves the concentration of nervous tissue and sense organs in the head.

Appendages

          The projecting structures of the body that perform specific functions like locomotion, capturing of food, sensation, etc., are called appendages, eg., Wings, fins, limbs, tentacles, parapodia, setae, etc.

Digestive System

          Digestive tract is the passage through which food is taken for digestion, absorption and egestion. The digestive tract that has a single opening for both ingestion and egestion is called incomplete digestive tract, eg., in flatwprms and coelenterates.

          The digestive tract with two external openings, one for ingestion and other for egestion is called complete digestive tract. It is present in aschelminthes and higher animals.

Respiratory System

Respiration occurs in different ways in different animals:

• The tiny aquatic animals like Amoeba, Hydra, etc., respire through the body surface. This is called body surface respiration.
• Larger aquatic animals have special organs called gills for respiration. This is called branchial respiration, e.g., In prawns, fishes and mussels.
• The land animals respire through lungs. This is called pulmonary respiration. It occurs in frogs, snails, lizards, birds, and mammals.
• Insects have tracheal respiration, which occurs through trachea i.e., an intercommunicating tube through which gas exchange occurs.
• In animals like earthworm, leech, frogs etc., moist skin acts as respiratory surface. This is called cutaneous respiration.
• Scorpions have book lungs and king crabs have book gills for respiration.
• In frog, gas exchange also occurs through the lining of buccopharyngeal cavity. Hence, called buccopharyngeal respiration.
• Frogs have three modes of respiration, i.e., Cutaneous, buccopharyngeal and pulmonary.

Excretory System

1. Excretory system is involved in the removal of nitrogenous waste products from the body of an organism with the help of excretory organs.
2. The excretion occurs in different ways in different organisms. Such as
3. The excretory organs are absent in those organisms where organization level is below the tissue level. Here, each individual cell takes part in excretion.
4. In animals like sponges, coelenterates, all the cells are in contact with water. Excretion occurs by general body surface.
5. In vertebrates, kidneys are the excretory organs.

Based on excretory products animals can be classified into four categories as given below:

• Aminotelic, excretory product is amino acids, e.g., Starfish, Unio, etc.
• Ammonotelic, excretory product is ammonia, e.g., most invertebrates and some molluscs.
• Ureotelic, excretory product is urea, e.g., Cartilaginous fishes, snail, prawn, mammals and aquatic reptiles.
• Uricotelic, excretory product is uric acid, e.g., Insects, terrestrial crustaceans, lizards, snakes, birds etc.

Nervous System

          The nervous system is the aggregation of nerve cells that help in coordinating and controlling various activities of the body.

Endocrine System

          The endocrine glands are also called ductless glands. These secrete hormones. Endocrine glands occur in all vertebrates and in some invertebrates (like insects).

Sensory System

          This system consists of specialized cells, tissues and organs which can pick up a stimulus and transmit the same to the nervous system.

          Sensory system consists of different structures in different organisms, e.g., Antennal (tactile and smell), tentacles (tactile), skin (tactile), statocyst (balancing), ear (hearing), olfactory epithelium (smell), taste buds (taste), eyes (vision), lateral line organs (current receptors), etc.

Skeletal System

          Skeletal system is a hard, internal or external framework that provides support and shape to the body. Some animals which are devoid of a skeleton have soft body, e.g., Platyhelminthes, aschelminthes, annelida.

Skeleton system can be of following types:

Exoskeleton:

          It is the hard supporting and protective framework present on exterior of the body. It is made of non-living matter, e.g., External shells of molluscs, cuticle of arthropods, scales of fishes and reptiles, feathers of birds, hair, hoofs, nails, horns and claws of mammals.

Endoskeleton:

          It is a hard supporting framework present in the interior of the body. In invertebrates such as sponges, it is made up of calcareous or siliceous spicules. In vertebrates, it is composed of hard living tissues called cartilages and bones. Endoskeleton supports whole body of an organism.

Sex

          Animals generally have sex organs to produce sexual reproduction. When both male and female sex organs are found in some individual, it is called hermaphrodite or bisexual or monoecious, e.g., Liver fluke, tapeworm, earthworm, leech, etc.

          The animals with either female or male sex organ is known as unisexual or dioecious, e.g., Frog, lizards, birds, dog, etc. When male and female can be distinguished on the basis of external features, the condition is called sexual dimorphism, e.g., Lion and lioness, man and women, peacock and peahen, etc.

Reproduction

          Reproduction in organisms can be either asexual or sexual.

Asexual Reproduction:

          This kind of reproduction does not involve fusion of gametes. It is found in lower animals like sponges, coelenterates, annelids, platyhelminthes. The common methods are budding, fission, fragmentation and regeneration.

Sexual Reproduction:

          It involves formation and fusion of gametes. The male gametes called sperms are motile while, the female gametes called ova are generally non-motile.

Fertilization

External Fertilization:

          Animals such as many invertebrates, some marine fishes and most amphibians, shed both eggs and sperms into water, where fertilization and development occur. This is called external fertilization.

Internal Fertilization:

          In land animals and some aquatic animals, the sperms are introduced by the male into reproductive tract of female during copulation. This is called internal fertilization.

          Fertilization occurs in the genital organs of the female.

Oviparous Animals

          Egg-laying animals are called oviparous animals. In these animals’ fertilization is internal, but embryonic development is external. In external embryonic development, the embryo develops outside the female body. In these animals, the females lay eggs, in which embryonic development takes place. The developing embryo gets nutrition from the reserve food. This condition is called oviparity. The young ones hatch out of eggs after full development.

Viviparous Animals

          Animals that give birth to young ones are called viviparous animals. In these animals both fertilization and embryonic development are internal. In internal embryonic development, the embryo develops inside the female body. The developing embryos get total nutrition and oxygen from the mother. This condition is called matrotrophy. In these animals, the young ones are delivered out of the female womb after full development.

          Examples of viviparous animals are a few snakes and mammals except duckbill platypus and echidna.

Non chordate

• They are cylindrical, triploblastic, coelomate, or pseudocoelomate animals.
• Respiration in these animals takes place through gills, trachea or body surface.
• Most of the times, sexes cannot be distinguished among the members.
• Modes of reproduction involve sexual and asexual Fertilization is external, though internal fertilization also occurs in.
• The body of non-chordates generally includes an open type of circulatory system.

Characteristic Features of Phylum Porifera:

1. They are generally marine aquatic organisms, with a few freshwater species.
2. Their bodies are asymmetrical.
3. Body shape can be cylindrical, vase-like, rounded or sac-like.
4. They are diploblastic animals with two layers, the outer dermal layer and the inner gastral layer. There is a gelatinous, non-cellular mesoglea, in between these two layers.
5. The body has many pores called the ostia and a single large opening called osculum at the top.
