Animal Form and Function: C E L P
Integument
-for most multicellular invertebrates
-consists of single layer of
columnar epithelial cells
(Epidermis)
may possess cilia, glandular cells;
basement membrane;
connective tissue (fibers and cells)
Zoology 10th Ed. by Miller and Harley, p. 436
• Integumentary System of
Vertebrates
Skin
-vertebrate integument
-largest organ; grows with the
animal
Epidermis
-consists of epithelial tissue
(one to several cells thick)
Dermis
-includes connective tissue:
collagenous, reticular and elastic
fibers
Hypodermis
-comprise of loose connective
tissue, adipose tissue, and nerve
endings
-separates the skin from deeper
tissues
Integrated Principles of Zoology 17th Ed. by Hickman Jr. et al., p. 641
Zoology 10th Ed. by Miller and Harley, p. 439
Skeletal System
• Skeletal System of Invertebrates
Kinds of Skeleton
Hydrostatic skeleton
Exoskeleton
Endoskeleton
Hydrostatic skeleton
-compose of core of liquid (water
or a body fluid such as blood) and
sheath of longitudinal and
circular muscles
Zoology 10th Ed. by Miller and Harley, p. 441
Contracting muscles push
against a hydrostatic skeleton,
and the transmitted force
generates body movements
Example: Earthworm
Lumbricus terrestris
Exoskeleton
-also have locomotor functions
(site for muscle attachment and
counterforces for muscle
movements);
secondary functions: support and
protect the body
Zoology 10th Ed. by Miller and Harley, p. 442
Endoskeleton
-use for protection and support
Endoskeleton of sponges
-made up of mineral spicules and
fibers of spongin
Endoskeleton of
echinoderms (sea stars, sea
urchins)
-made up of small, calcareous plates
(Ossicles)
Zoology 10th Ed. by Miller and Harley, p. 153
Zoology 10th Ed. by Miller and Harley, p. 304
• Skeletal System of Vertebrates
Endoskeleton
-enclosed by other body tissues
-comprise of connective tissues:
cartilage and bone
Integrated Principles of Zoology 17th Ed. by Hickman Jr. et al., p. 192
Zoology 10th Ed. by Miller and Harley, p. 444
Muscular System
• Muscular System of
Invertebrates
Example: Arthropods
Upward wing movement (rather
than a nerve impulse) activates
the muscles that produce the
downstroke
Example:
Insect (bees, wasps, flies, beetles)
• Muscular System of
Vertebrates
Skeletal muscles
-attach to vertebrate
endoskeleton
Tendon
-tough, fibrous bands or cords;
join skeletal muscles to the
skeleton
Zoology 10th Ed. by Miller and Harley, p. 31
