INVERTEBRATE ANIMALS

Presented by: Sonia Ll. Rogando

 What are invertebrate animals?
• An animal with no backbone
• They have soft bodies because they don’t have
an internal skeleton (endoskeleton) for support.
Instead, many have structures on the outside
(exoskeleton)that provide support and
protection.
• Invertebrates are cold-blooded, meaning they
can’t regulate their body temperature, so it
changes depending on the environment.
• Over 90% of all species on earth are invertebrates
 How many groups of invertebrate animals
are there?
• Arthropods
• Mollusks
• Echinoderms
• Cnidarian (stinging-cell animals)
• Annelids
• Flatworms
• Roundworms
• Sponges ( Poriferans)
There are 8 groups of invertebrate animals
 Identify some animals belong to the different
group of invertebrate animals fill the table below

WHAT SHOULD WE DO TO PROTECT
THESE INVERTEBRATE ANIMALS FOUND
IN OUR LOCALITY?
ARTHROPODS
• Arthropods have segmented bodies
and tough skeleton with jointed
appendages.
• They make up the largest group in
the Animal Kingdom
• Arthropods are divided into five
groups: Insects, Arachnids,
Crustaceans, Centipedes and
Millipedes.
 CHARACTERISTIC OF ARTHROPODS

• SEGMENTATION-
they have three
main body
regions;
HEAD,
THORAX
ABDOMEN.
ARACTERISTIC OF ARTHROPODS

• EXOSKELETON-
Arthropods
have hard
exoskeleton
outside their
body.
 CHARACTERISTIC OF ARTHROPODS

• JOINTED
APPENDAGES-
these are
adapted for
feeding, sensing,
walking and
swimming.
CHARACTERISTIC OF ARTHROPODS
• The
mouthparts
include a pair
of
appendages
called
MANDIBLE
MOLLUSKS
 MOLLUSKS (SOFT-BODIED ANIMALS)

•Mollusks are coleomate

animals with bilateral
symmetry, a soft internal
body, a digestive tact with
two openings and muscular
foot and mantle.
•Mollusks are found in aquatic
(ocean and freshwater) and
moist land environment.
•Mollusks use radula to scrape
food into their mouth.
• Snail
• Octopus
• Oysters
(talaba)
• Clams
• Squid
ECHINODERMS
 ECHINODERMS (SPINY-SKINNED
ANIMALS)
• Echinoderms are marine animals
with spiny endoskeleton.
• Echinoderms use madreporite to
strain food from water.
• Almost all echinoderms have
internal skeleton made of hard
calcified plates.
 EXAMPLES OF ECHINODERMS

• Starfish
• Brittle stars
• Sand dollars
• Sea Urchins
• Sea
Cucumbers
SPONGES
 SPONGES (PORE-BEARING
ANIMALS)
•Sponges are pore-bearing animals.
•They have no organs and lack
symmetry.
•All sponges are aquatic and comes in
different shapes.
•Sponges have many types
of skeleton made up of tiny
needle-like structure called
spicules that protects them
from animals who try to eat
them.
CNIDARIANS
•Cnidarians are also called stinging-
cell animals.
•Its former name is Coelenterates.
•It has stinging cells called Cnidocytes
EXAMPLES
WORMS
 PLATYHELMINTHES

• Platyhelminthes are flatworms.

• Flatworms are thin, acoelomate that can be
free living or parasitic.
• Flatworms have no digestive system.
• Flatworms are hermaphrodites, they
produce both eggs and sperm cells.
PLATYHELMINTHES
 NEMATODES

• Nematodes are roundworms that have

long, thin and round bodies.
• Roundworms have round bodies, pointed
at both ends and are covered by tough
cuticle.
 NEMATODES

ASCARIS AND HOOKWORM

 ANNELIDS

• Annelids are segmented worms.

• They have body segments to help them
move.
• Their bodies are divided into segments with
a ringed appearance.
• Annelids have bilateral symmetry and have
two openings- the mouth and anus.
