Phylum Presentation TITLE Name of Phylum (include picture of representative species) Group Members Names:

Species • How many species are included in your phylum? • What are the major groups (Classes, Families, Genus)? • Include a phylogenetic tree to show relatedness of your phylum to other phylums OR a phylogenetic tree of the species in your phylum.

Species • When did species in the phylum first evolve? • What type of ecosystem do some example species live in? What role do they have in the ecosystem? • Is there anything significant we should know? (are some endangered? Are they dangerous? Are they grown for economic purposes? )

Major Organs • Visit http: //animals. about. com/od/zoology 12/a/bodys ystems. htm to review major organ systems. Also use the Book Chapter 40. THEN DESCRIBE FOR YOUR PHYLUM: • What are the major organs (body parts) that are present (if any) in 2 different example species from your phylum? • Include a labeled diagram of all the major organs. The next few slides discuss each major organ system as described on page 855 of your book.

Embryonic Development • Visit http: //users. rcn. com/jkimball. ma. ultranet/Bio logy. Pages/E/Embryonic. Development. html to review cleavage and patterning in animals. Also use the Book. THEN DESCRIBE FOR YOUR PHYLUM: • Type of Cleavage- radial or spiral, determinate or indeterminate (show image) • Whether they are deuterostomes or protostomes and what this means.

Embryonic Development con’t • Visit http: //users. rcn. com/jkimball. ma. ultranet/Bio logy. Pages/E/Embryonic. Development. html to review cleavage and patterning in animals. Also use the Book. THEN DESCRIBE FOR YOUR PHYLUM: • Gastrulation- label all parts- derm layers (show image) • What type of coelom forms (if any)? • What is the fate of the blastopore

Development & External Anatomy DESCRIBE FOR YOUR PHYLUM: • Is there hair, skin, shell, fur, exoskeleton? • What type of SYMMETRY does your phylum have? SHOW and image or diagram that demonstrates this. Does the symmetry change as it develops? • Show a picture of this.

Development & External Anatomy DESCRIBE FOR YOUR PHYLUM: • Does the animal change morphologically as it develops? • Show all stages of development (larvae/embryo -> juvenile -> adult) for at least 2 species. • Show a picture of this.

Circulatory and Respiratory Systems (how an animal acquires oxygen and distributes that oxygen throughout its body) • Use the Book Chapter 42. 1, 42. 5 covers the types that occur in animals. THEN DESCRIBE FOR YOUR PHYLUM: • How oxygen travels from the air into their cells (are there lungs? , absorption through skin. . ? Is it an OPEN or CLOSED circulatory system) • What are all the organ parts associated with this system • Show an image or video that demonstrates this. • Share any interesting facts about this system.

Circulatory and Respiratory Systems (how an animal acquires oxygen and distributes that oxygen throughout its body) • Use the Book Chapter 42. 1, 42. 5 covers the types that occur in animals. THEN DESCRIBE FOR YOUR PHYLUM: • If your phylum has blood flow. . • How does blood flow in the body? • What role does the heart play? • Show a diagram.

Digestive System (how an animal acquires food/nutrients, distributes it to cells and eliminates waste from the body) • Use the Book- Chapter 41. 2 discusses the major ways animals collect food. THEN DESCRIBE FOR YOUR PHYLUM: • What external parts of the body function to acquire food? (a mouth or other part) Does it hunt? What body parts does it use? • What are all the internal organs associated with this digesting food? • Include a diagram or picture

Excretory Systems (how an animal acquires food/nutrients, distributes it to cells and eliminates waste from the body) • Ch 44. 2 -44. 3 discuss the major excretory systems THEN DESCRIBE FOR YOUR PHYLUM: • What are all the internal/external organs associated with this eliminating waste? • Describe the pathway that waste uses to exit the body? • Include a diagram or picture

Reproductive System (how an animal produces offspring) • Ch 46. 2 discuss the some organs involved in reproduction. THEN DESCRIBE FOR YOUR PHYLUM: • Is it Sexual, Asexual or can it be both? • Are there males, females and/or hermaphrodites? • What are all the internal/external organs associated with reproduction? Include a diagram of internal structures • Are eggs/sperm produced? Where? • Describe any interesting facts about their reproduction.

Nervous System (Organization of the brain, spinal cord or neural connections) • Ch 49. 1 discuss the general organization of the nervous system in many animals. The beginning of chapter 48 discusses the parts of the nervous system. THEN DESCRIBE FOR YOUR PHYLUM: • Include a labeled diagram or picture of the organization of the nervous system for 2 animals in your phylum. Is there a brain? Is there a spinal network?

Sensory Receptors (How an organism senses its environment and responds to it) • CH. 50. 1 discusses examples of how organisms sense their environment. THEN DESCRIBE FOR YOUR PHYLUM: • Describe how the organism senses its environment. • What organs enable it to respond to its environment (eyes, nose, foot? )

Motor Mechanisms (How an organism moves) • CH. 50. 6 discusses examples of locomotion THEN DESCRIBE FOR YOUR PHYLUM: • Describe how the organism moves around its environment. (a foot, wing, bag. . ? ) • Are there any muscular movements?
