3 Domains: Archaea, Eubacteria (prokaryotes), and Eukarya (eukaryotes)
Osmoconformers?

1. Diversity
2. Disparity
1. = relationship between # of species (beetles are more diverse than chordates)
2. = structural variation (wings are disparate between birds and bees)
Convergent evolution ?
structures with the same function but different development (wings again
Chordate Features ?
1. Head, trunk, tail = 3 body sections
2. Pharyngeal gill clefts = lungs
3. Notochord = vertebral column
4. Dorsal, hollow nerve cord
5. Post-anal tail
2. Coelom separates columns/cavities
3. Neck anatomy (lateral to medial) =
4. Lymph nodes =
5. Thoracic cavity = diaphragm =
2. (abdominal – digestive/excretion, thoracic – heart/lungs)
3. lacrimal glands, parotid glands, submaxillary glands.
4. superior to glands
5. helps with breathing

Respiratory
Air > Larynx > trachea (hard cartilage rings) > Lungs
Food is blocked by the epiglottis covering the larynx.
Circulatory
SVC/IVC > RA (triscupid) > RV > Pulmonary artery > Lungs (+O2) > pulmonary vein > LA (biscupid) > LV > Aorta > arteries > capillaries (-O2) > veins > SVC/IVC
Lymphatic
lymph nodes + thymus + spleen = pick up fluid back to the circulatory
spleen filters blood, stores/destroys RBCs
Digestive
Food > Pharynx > Esophagus > Stomach > small intestine > colon (Large intestine) > Rectum > Anus
Pharynx = 3 parts (oro, naso, laryngo), small intestine = 3 parts (duodenum, jejunum, ileum), pancreas, liver deposite enzymes into duodenum, caecum = outpocket for bacteria to break down cellulose (aka appendix).
Excretory
= kidneys > ureter > bladder > urethra
kidneys outer = cortex, inner = medulla
Repro: females =
ovary > oviducts (fallopian tubes) > uterus > vagina;
Repor: male : SEVEN UP
seminiferous tubule>epididymis>vas deferens>ejactuatory duct>nothing>uthera>penis
