members of the phylum chordata
chordates
an animal taht has, for at least some stage of its life, a dorsal, hollow nerve cord; a notochord; pharyngeal pouches, and a tail taht extends beyond the anus
chordate
a long, supporting rod that runs throught eh body just below the nerve cord
notochord
are paired structures in teh throat region
pharyngeal pouches
the backboard, which replaces the notochord in most developing vertebrates, is made of individual segments called
vertebrae
teht wo groups of nonvertebrate chordates are
tunicates and lancelets
aquatic vertebrates; most have paired fins, scales, and gills
fishes
the evolution of jaws and hte evotion of paired fins were important developments during the rise of
fishes
a strong tissue taht supports the body and is softer and more flexible than bone
cartilage
adaptations to aquatic life include :
various modes of feeding, specialized structures for gas exchange, and paired fins for locomotion
a large muscular chamber that serves as a one-way compartment for blood that is about to enter the ventricle
atrium
a thick-walled, muscular chamber, the actual pumping portion of the heart
ventricle
in most vertebrates, the - is responsible for all voluntary activities of the body
cerebrum
the - coordinates body movements
cerebellum
the - - controls teh functioning of many internal organs
medulla oblongata
most fishes can detect gentle current and vibrations in the water with sensitive receptors that form the
lateral line system
many bony fishes have an internal, gas-filled organ called a
swim bladder
fishes whose eggs hatch outside the mother's body are
oviparous
the eggs stay in the mother's body after internal fertilization
oviviparous
the embryos stay in the mother's body after internal fertilization, as they do in oviviparous
viviparous
when you consider their basic internal structure, all living fishes can be classified into three groups:
jawless fishes, cartilaginous fishes, bony fishes
= a vertebrate that, with some exceptions, lives in water as a larva and on land as an adult, breathes with lungs as an adult, has moist skint aht contains mucus glands, and lacks scales and claws
amphibian
early amphibians evolved several adaptations that helped them live at least part of their lives (where?)
out of water
an amphibian's eyes are large and can move around in their sockets. the surface of the eye is protected from damage under water and kept moist on land by a transparent - -
nicitating membrane
amphibians hear thorugh - - or eardrums located on each side of the head
tympanic membranes
most amphibian larvae and adults also have - - systems to detect water movement
lateral line
the three groups of amphibians alive today are
salamanders, frogs and toads, and caecilians
