Invertebrates are animals without backbones (ie without vertebrae). All the major invertebrate groups except the insects are studied here. For each phylum an overview of classification, morphology, anatomy and function and life-span is given. At least one member of each phylum is described in detail to convey an understanding of the whole organism. Practical work involving dissection, microscopic study and demonstration of specimens gives a direct insight to the wide diversity of species.
