Phyla of Kingdom AnimaliaPhyla of Kingdom Animalia
Porifera Cnidaria Ctenophora Platyhelminthes Ectoprocta
Mollusca Annelida Arthropoda Echinodermata Chordata
Phylum: PoriferaPhylum: Porifera Sponges: around 5,000 living species Simplest multi-cellular organisms Cellular-level organization
– Their cells are specialized– Similar cells are not organized into tissues
All sessile and benthic Filter feeders
Phylum: CnidariaPhylum: Cnidaria Radially or Biradially symmetric Tissue level of organization True organs do not occur Two basic body forms:
– Medusa: free swimming or floating– Polyp: usually sessile
Nematocysts
Phylum: CnidariaPhylum: Cnidaria Corals Hydroids Sea anemones Jellyfish Sea pens
Phylum: EchinodermataPhylum: Echinodermata
Calcereous endoskeleton Pentaradial symmetry Water vascular system (tube feet)
– Decentralized nervous system

Sea stars Brittle stars Sea urchins Sand dollars Sea cucumbers
Phylum: ArthropodaPhylum: Arthropoda
Bilaterally symetrical Strongly segmented bodies Exoskeletal construction Molting required for growth More species of Arthropod than all
other species combined

Phylum: Chordata (vertebrates)Phylum: Chordata (vertebrates)
Organisms that possess a Notochord– a rod that serves to stiffen the body and act
as a support during locomotion Bilateral symmetry Segmented body Ventral heart and closed blood system Bony or cartilaginous endoskeleton
