Invertebrates make up 95% of all animal species.
Invertebrates do not have a backbone, or vertebral column.
They include sea stars, worms, jellyfishes, and insects.

Many body functions help animals maintain homeostasis, or a relatively stable internal environment.
Homeostasis is often maintained by internal feedback mechanisms called feedback loops.
Most feedback loops involve feedback inhibition, in which the product or result of a process stops or limits the process.

Respiration
Whether they live in water or on land, all animals respire—they take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide.

Excretion
Ammonia is a waste product of cells and a poisonous substance.
Most animals have an excretory system that eliminates ammonia quickly or converts it into a less toxic substance that is removed from the body.

Response
Animals respond to events in their environment using specialized cells, called nerve cells. In most animals, nerve cells form a nervous system.
Receptor cells respond to sound, light, and external stimuli. Other nerve cells process information and determine how the animal responds.

Movement
Some animals stay at a single spot, but most can move. Most animals have muscles or musclelike tissues.
Muscle contraction enables motile animals to move around by working in combination with a support structure called a skeleton.
Muscles also help even sedentary animals feed and pump water and fluids through their bodies.

Reproduction
Most animals reproduce sexually. This helps to create and maintain genetic diversity in populations and improve species’ abilities to evolve when the environment changes.
Many invertebrates can also reproduce asexually. This produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. It allows animals to increase their numbers rapidly.

Trends in Animal Evolution
Complex animals tend to have:
• high levels of cell specialization and internal body organization
• bilateral body symmetry
• a front end or head with sense organs
• a body cavity

Trends in Animal Evolution
Cell Specialization and Levels of Organization
As animals have evolved, their cells have become specialized to carry out different functions.
In multicellular organisms, each cell type has a structure and chemical composition that enable it to perform a specialized function.

Trends in Animal Evolution
Groups of specialized cells form tissues.
Tissues join together to form organs and organ systems—all of which work together to carry out a variety of complex functions.
