Synopsis

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-style 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.
