The animal cell and tissues. Presentation of the main animal taxa in their phylogenetic relationships and in an evolutionary perspective, from unicellularity (ancestral protists) to the evolution of multicellularity (Metazoa) and its diversified organization during evolution also with hints on embryonic development (diblastic and triblastic organisms ; Protostomes and Deuterostomes; types of symmetry; Acelomates, Pseudocelomates and Coelomates organisms). The animal groups (phyla) are presented with their morpho-functional adaptations and their ecology, with attention to use in human nutrition and possible problems related to the food sector (for example food parasites). Main animal groups treated: Parazoa (Porifera); among Eumetazoa the Radiata (eg., Cnidarians) and the Bilateria (eg., Platyhelminthes, Nematodes, Mollusks, Arthropods, Annelids, Bryozoans, Echinoderms, Chordates)
