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
|
|

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 |

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 |

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 |
