    The document outlines the key characteristics of five animal phyla: Porifera, Cnidaria, Annelida, Mollusca, and Arthropoda. It describes their body plans, symmetry, digestive systems, circulatory systems, excretory systems, nervous systems, and modes of reproduction. The phyla range from asymmetrical (Porifera) to bilaterally symmetrical (Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda). They have various digestive cavity structures and intake food through different methods like filter feeding, ingesting prey, or sucking blood. Their circulatory, nervous, and excretory systems also vary in complexity from simple diffusion to specialized organs. Modes of reproduction include sexual,
