Animal Kingdom: Non-Chordates

Chapter
1 INTRODUCTION
m What is the need to classify animals?
m Classification helps in assigning a systematic position to newly described species.
With some
m Characteristics of members – l Eukaryotic organisms l Division of labour l Definite growth pattern l Capable of locomotion
exceptions
of kingdom Animalia l Multicellular and their cells lack cell wall l Heterotrophic with holozoic mode of nutrition l Sensory and neuromotor mechanism (Poriferans)

2 BASIS OF ANIMAL CLASSIFICATION


m There are fundamental features common to various individuals and have certain distinct characters which are specific to each phyla/class.
Broad Classification
Body Cavity/Coelom Metamerism/
Hierarchy Level of Types of Symmetry Germ Layers Phylum(s) Notochord
(mesodermal lining) Segmentation
Organisation
Simple Cellular Asymmetrical Not specified Acoelomates Porifera û
Any plane passing through (loose cell aggregates) (No body cavity) Ectoderm
the centre does not divide the Mesoglea
organism into 2 equal halves Coelenterata û
Endoderm
Tissue Radial Diploblastic Ctenophora û
Any longitudinal plane passing through Ectoderm
the central axis of the body divides Undifferentiated Acoelomates
(No body cavity)
Platyhelminthes û
the organism into 2 identical halves mesoglea
Endoderm Mesodermal pouches

Absent

Organ Bilateral Triploblastic Pseudocoelomate


Aschelminthes û
Only one longitudinal Ectoderm Scattered pouches
plane passing through the Mesoderm of mesoderm between
centre of the body divides the Endoderm ecto and endoderm Ectoderm
organism into identical right and left halves Mesoderm Coelom Annelida ü
Arthropoda ü
Complex Organ system True coelomates Mollusca û
(Each system with a Body cavity lined Echinodermata û
specific physiological function) by mesoderm Hemichordata û
Chordata ü Present
Endoderm
m Metameric Segmentation – Body is externally and internally divided into segments with a serial m Some Conclusions From Classification:
repetition of at least some organs
l Poriferans are mostly asymmetrical organisms with cellular level of organisation.
m Notochord – Mesodermally derived rod like structure formed on the dorsal side during
embryonic development in some animals l All diploblastic organisms have radial symmetry and are acoelomates.

m Animals without notochord – Non-chordates (Porifera to echinoderms) l Bilateral symmetry is most advanced form of symmetry that arose with motile organisms.

m Animals with notochord – Chordates l Platyhelminthes are first triploblastic, bilaterally symmetrical acoelomates.
m About 2/3rd of all species on earth are Arthropods (Most abundant are insects) l Echinoderms have radial symmetry at adult stage and bilateral in the larval stage.
