THEORY
Anima Classification, phylogeny and organization: Animal systematics, Molecular approaches to animal systematics, Evolutionary relationships and tree diagrams, Patterns of organization
Animal like Protists: Life within a single plasma membrane, Phylum sarcomastigophora, phylum labyrinthomorpha, phylum apicomplexa, phylum microspore, phylum acetospora, phylum myxozoa, phylum ciliophora,
Multicellular and tissue levels of organization: origin of multicellularity, Phylum porifera, phylum coelenterate, phylum ctenophore
Triploblastic, acoelomate body plan: phylum Platyhelminthes (classification up to class level)
Pseudocoelomate body plan: phylum nematoda
Annelida: The metameric body form: metamerism and tagmatization, class polychaeta, class oligochaeta, class hirudinea
Arthropods: metamerism and tagmatization, the exoskeleton, metamorphosis, subphylum chelicerata, class arachnida (general charcteristics), Subphylum Crustacea, class malacostraca, class branchiopoda, class copepod, class cirripeda, class diplopoda, class chilopoda
Class hexapoda: External structure and locomotion, nutrition and digestive system, gas exchange, circulation and temperature regulation, nervous and sensory functions, excretion, reproduction and development
Molluscan success: origin of coelom, molluscan characteristics, class gastropoda, class bivalvia, class cephalopoda, class polyplacophora, class scaphopoda, class monoplacophora, class caudofoveata, class aplacophora
The Echinoderms: echinoderm characteristics, class asteroidea, class ophiuroidea, class echinoidea, class holothuroidea, class crinoidea
