Heya,

KINGDOM ANIMALIA

Kingdom Animalia consists of multicellular eukaryotes which lack cell wall and chlorophyll.
Except some lower animals, organisms of Kingdom Animalia possess a definite body shape. They grow till their body attains maturity.

The CLASSIFICATION of Kingdom Animalia is based on various characteristic which are as follows,

• Structural differentiation of body.
•Body symmetry.
•Body cavity.
•Germinal layers.
•Notochord

✴PHYLUM PORIFERA

• Poriferans are Diploblastic acoelomate plant like organisms.
•Called Sponges
•Found in marine habitat.
Ex.... Sycon

✴PHYLUM COELENTRATA

•Cnidarians are Diploblastic acoelomate organisms
•Their body has tissue level organisation.
•Found in marine as well as fresh water.
Ex... Hydra

✴PHYLUM PLATYHEMINTHES

•Having dorso-vebtrally flattened Triploblastic acoelomate body.
•Nervous system is well developed in these organisms.
•There's no body cavity.
Ex.... Planaria

✴PHYLUM NEMATODA

•They are called roundworms.
•The organisms demonstrate organ system level of organisation
•They found freely in water or soil.
Ex... Male, female Ascaris

✴PHYLUM ANNELIDA

•Found in sea water, fresh water or in moist soil.
•Annelids maybe unisexual or hermaphrodites.
•Reproduction occurs by sexual means.
Ex... Nereis

✴PHYLUM ARTHROPODA

• The phylum consist of Triploblastic, segmented, billaterally symmetrical organisms.
•Body is differentiated.
•It is the "Largest phylum",comprising approx 90% of all organisms in Kingdom Animalia.
•Found in land , water and as parasites.
Ex....Butterfly

✴PHYLUM MULLUSCA

•They are Triploblastic.
•Body is covered by a thin and fleshy "mantle".
•Separate sexes are found.
Ex... PILA (apple snail)

✴PHYLUM ECHINODERMATA

•It comprises Marine animals.
•They are Triploblastic, Enterocoelomic.
•Sexes are separate.
Ex.... Asterias (STAR fish)

✴PHYLUM CHORDATA

•Thet are Triploblastic, enterocoelomates.
•Having bilaterally symmetrical bodies.
•Presence of a dorsal hollow nerve cord.

CLASSIFICATION OF PHYLUM CHORDATA

There are subphyla of phylum chordata.... "protochordata " and "Vertebrata".

✴PROTOCHORDATA

•These are non - vertebrates.
•Mainly occur in marine habitat.
•Single layer epidermis is present.
Ex.... Herdmania

✴VERTEBRATA

•Sexes are separate.
•Paired appendages are seen.
•Respiration occurs by gills and by lungs.

✴PHYLUM VERTEBRATA.....

There are following classes of VERTEBRATA

•Pisces
Ex... Trygon

•Class Amphibia
Ex... Toad
