3 classes of fish
agnatha
chondrichthyes
osteichthyes
what are agnatha
jawless fish-lampreys and hagfish
chondrichthyes
cartilaginous fishes- sharks, skates, and rays
osteichthyes
boni fish
body plan of fish?
8 things
streamlined shape
muscular tail
paired fins fo rmaneuverability
unpaired fins for stability
mucous covered body
stored gas, oils, and fats for bounacny
gills to get oxygen from water
any colorations that help camoflauge the
facts about fish sense
5 things
good underwater sight
strong sense of smell
good hearing
a lateal line system sense vibrations in the water
some can detect electrical currents
what do hagfish not have
scales
hagfish
2 facts
have 2 moveable plates and a rough tongue for tearing off flesh
often crawl inside dead fish and eat them from the inside
lampreys
2 facts
many are parasites that attach to the outside of the fish
they cut a hoel in the fish, drink blood, then release
facts about agnatha respiratory system
4 things
closed circulatory systems
have 2 chambered hearts: atrium receives deoxygenated blood/ventrical pumps blood directly to capilarries
agnatha nervous system
1 thing
nervous systems with complex brains and sense organs
how do agnatha breathe
gills
how do agnatha fertilize
externally
chondrichthyes
2 facts
have skeletons made of cartilage not bone
their skin si covered with placoid scales, whcih are small tooth like spines that feel like sandpaper
sharks
4 fthings
efficiently shaped
have many rows of teeth that point inward to trap prey
sensitive senses of smell and taste
sensitive to the electrical fields of prey
skates and rays
3 facts
flattened bodies with wing like fins
usually bottom dwellers
feed on mollusks and crustaceans
bony fish
3 key features
bone-hard skeletons
air sac: swim bladder which controls bouancy/ lungs for gas exchange
scales-protect fish and reduce drag
2 groups of osteichthyes?
lobe finned fish
ray finned fish
lobe finned fish
4 things
fleshy arms supported by bones
6 of 7 species are lungfish
seventh is coelacanth which was thought to be extinct
lobe finned are though to have come from amphibians
ray finned fish
4 things
fins supported by long bony rays
very diverse and make up most of the fish
have an operculum - hard plat on each side of the head tha tcovers and protects the gills
fins-control the movement
the 5 fins
caudal-1 tail fin propels fish
dorsal-2 on back for stability
anal-1 on the bottom for stability
pelvic-2 on bottom front for steering
pectoral-2 on sides for steering
osteichythes skin?
4 things
covered with scales
scales are thin,round, overlapping
grow throughout life of fish
grow quickly where there is enough food and slowly where there is not
can give us clue to age
osteichythes digestive system
1 thing
fish have a complete digestive system somewhat similar to ours
osteichythes circulatory ssyte
1 heart with 1 atrium ventricle while ours has 2
osteichythes swim bladder
3 things
a thin walled sac found just below the backbone
filled with mostly oxgen or nitrogenous gases that fuse out teh fish's blood
controls the depth at which a fish swims
ostechythes respiratory system
3 things
gills us a countercurrent flow
blood flows in opposite direction of the water
the concentration gradient keeps O2 flowing in the bloodstream
osteitchyes nervous system
2 things
fish have a brain and spinal cord
the brain has several lobes, each designed for a specific function
ostechythes resproductive system
3 things
separate sexes
fertilize externall
la large number of eggs to ensure that some survive
their spawning behaviors vary greatly, depending on the type of fish
what do amphibians include
4 legged vertebrates with specific characteritics
what are the specific characteristics of an amphibian
3 things
lack amniotic eggs
they are cold blooded so body termerature is regulated by the environment
spend part or all of their lives in water or moist environments
what is the range of size for amphibians
1/3 of an inch to 6 feet

what are urodela
salamanders
describe urodela's bodies
