Invertebrate feeding and digestion: Invertebrates can either have intracellular or extracellular digestion: Intracellular meaning that food is digested within each individual cell of the organism. Ø Examples: Sponges Extracellular means that digestion occurs inside a digestive tract or cavity, then absorbed into the body. Ø Examples: mollusks, chordates, arthropods, echinoderms

Vertebrate digestive systems: The digestive systems of many vertebrates have organs that are well adapted for different feeding habits. Carnivores, such as sharks have short digestive tracts that produce fast-acting digestive enzymes. Herbivores have long intestines that have large colonies of bacteria that help in digesting the cellulose fibers in plant tissues.

Respiration in animals: Aquatic invertebrates: Aquatic animals have natural moist respiratory surfaces. some respire through diffusion through their skin and others use gills. Terrestrial Invertebrates: There are many different respiratory specialized organs in terrestrial invertebrates. v Spiders use parallel book lungs. v Insects use openings called spiracles where air enters the body and passes through tracheal tubes for gas exchange. v Snails have a mantel cavity that is lined with moist tissue and an extensive surface area of blood vessels.

Vertebrate respiratory systems: Chordates have one of two basic structures for respiration: • Gills – for aquatic chordates. ØExample: fish and amphibians. • Lungs - for terrestrial chordates. ØExamples: adult amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

Vertebrate Gills: Water flows through the mouth then over the gills where oxygen is removed. Carbon dioxide and water are then pumped out through the operculum. Vertebrate Lungs: Nostrils, mouth, and throat Trachea Lung Air sac Salamander Lizard Primate Pigeon

Invertebrate circulatory systems: Invertebrate circulatory system can range from a system where cells simply do diffusion to take in oxygen or systems with many hearts and even systems with one heart. Open circulatory systems: The blood is pumped through open cavities. This system is found in arthropods and mollusks. Closed circulatory systems: A closed system forces blood through vessels that extend throughout the body of the organism. Since the system is “closed” the blood never leaves the vessels. This system is found in Annelids and chordates.

Vertebrate circulatory systems: Chordate circulatory systems range from a single loop system (found in organisms with gills) to double loop systems. Single-Loop Circulatory System Fishes Double-Loop Circulatory System Most Reptiles Crocodilians, Birds, and Mammals

Aquatic Invertebrate excretion: Some aquatic invertebrates diffuse ammonia out their bodies into the surrounding water where it is diluted and carried away. Ø Example: sponges, coelenterate, and some round worms. Other aquatic invertebrates swell up with water, dilute the wastes and excrete the wastes through tiny pores in their skin. Terrestrial Invertebrate excretion: Many terrestrial invertebrates convert ammonia into urea. Ø Urea is a simpler nitrogenous compound that is much less toxic than ammonia. Ø This urea is eliminated from the body in urine.

Vertebrate Excretion: Aquatic vertebrates kidneys and rely on gill slits to release excretory wastes into surrounding water for dilution. Terrestrial vertebrates rely on the kidney’s to filter out the ammonia and change it into urea and send it to be released in urine.

Nervous system All animals respond to their environment through specialized cells called nerve cells. In most animals, nerve cells hook together to form the nervous system. Nervous systems can range from fairly simple to extremely complex. The arrangement of nerve cells from phylum to phylum can be dramatically different.
