chordates

first vertebrate

vertebrate chordates

animals with bony or cartilaginous endoskeleton


1. site for attachtment of muscle


2. protection of internal organ systems (rib cage)

vertebrate chordates

have unique type neural creast cells, 4th tissue type


1. cranium, teeth, sensory organs, canial nerves, and medulla of adrenal gland.


2. complex brains divided into three regions- forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain

what is missing in the vertebrate chordates?

vertebrate

five types of vertebrates

mammals


birds


reptiles


fish


Amphibians

five types of vertebrates

craniatal- all


gnathostomata- all jaw


telostomi- jaw with bony skeleton


tetrapoda- jaw with bony skeleton and four legs


aminiota- jaw with bony skeleton and four legs and the aninotic eggs.

characteristics of a fish

gills rather than lungs for gaseous exchange.


1. some evolved a lung-like structure (lung fish)

characteristics of a fish

fins and streamlining for locomotion

characteristics of a fish

simple 2- chambered hearts

characteristics of a fish

both jawless and jawed condition

characteristics of a fish

bone, cartilage, bone, cartilage endoskeletons

agnathans

hagfish and lampreys


1. no jaws or paired fins


2. hagfishs have no vertebre

gnathastomata

first jawed vertebrates were fishes


1. chondrichthyes- sharks rays chimaras


2. skeletons composed of cartilage


3. electroreceptors


chondrichthyes includes flish with cartliaginous


endoskeletons.


4. actiinopterygii and sarcopterygii are fishes with bony endoskeletons.

shark reproduction

oviparous: lay eggs.


ovoviparous: eggs retained but nutrition from yolk, live birth.


viviparous: embryos derive nourishment via placental connection to mother, live birth.


other oddities:


trophic eggs- one eats other eggs provisioned by mother


intrauterine cannibalism- first to deplete yolk proceeds to eat siblings

Teleostomi(bony vertebrates)

96% of all living fishes


swim bladder or lung


operculum covering the gill


specialization the of jaws

actinopterygii

ray-finned fish (fins supported by bony rays)


chondrosteans- have cartilage bone


teleosts- modern bony fish

sarcopterygii

fleshy-finned fish (lobed-finned fishes and lung fishes)

chondrostean ray-finned fishes (cartilage bone)

thick heavy scales for armor

telosts

lightweight scales for mobilty


homocercal tail for power


fin diversty


fin control of gasses in swim bladder


second set of pharyngeal jaws for chewing, grinding, crushing.


highest vertebrate diversty

sarcopterygians

lobed fins, lungs(in some forms), and other evidence indicate shared ancestor with tetrapods

tetrapods advancements for life on land

strong vertebral column and girdles- support against gravity


strong, stout limbs (two pair of limbs= tetrapods)- for crawling and support against gravity.


nostrils and internal lungs- respiration in air while resisting desiccation

tetrapods advancements for life on land

3 chamber heart- accommodated pulmonary circuit(lungs)


modified sensory systems- air different than water

class amphibia

the amphibians are the 1st chordates to invade land but many must return to water to reproduce.

amphibia characteristics

produce gelatinous eggs( not shelled)


must be laid in wet/moist habitats



most have aquatic larval stage stage w/ gills


metamorphosis to terrestrial adult w/ lung



3 chambered heart for pulmonary gas exchange

amphibia characteristic

thin, naked, vascularized skin (no scales)


must be kept moist


many w/ defensive skin glands

amphibian diversity

anurans(frogs and toads)


urodels (salamanders and newts)


apodans (caeciliars)


amniotic egg

maintaining the pond inside

adaptations allows amniotes to live a

fully terrestrial life

what does that include?

reptiles, birds, and mammals

characteristics of reptiles

many lay shelled eggs (first amniotes)


some more modern reptiles give live birth



thickened keratinized skin of overlapping scales


water resistant for living in dry environments



3 chambered heart (crodilians have 4)

characteristics of reptiles

metanephritic kidney


excrete (waste as uric acid to conserve water)

reptile diversity

lizard


snake


turtles


corcodilians


tuataras

class aves

the birds

characteristics of birds

1.various modifications for flight


hollow bones, feathers



2.respiratory and cirulary system modifield for endothermic metabolism and active lifestyles


complex lungs, 4-chambered heart



3. reproduction


long distance migration common (maternal care of younh

characteristics of birds

1. foraging


highly variable beak

bird diversty

raven generalized bill


cardinal seed cracker


american avocet worm burrow probe


anhinga fish spear


eagle meat tearer


pelican dip neat


parrot nut cracker


flamingo mud sifter

class mammalia

class mammalia

characteristics of mammals

hair



respiratory and cirulatory system specialized for endothermic metabolism



4 chambered heart, complex lung

characteristics of mammals

foraging


great variation in dentition (teeth)



reproducuction


extensive materal care, mammary glands


variable reproductive modes



large and complex brain

hair and modification

spines (porcupine and echidra)



vicrissae (whiskers) for tactile sensation



baleen of whales for filter feeding

carbohydrates (sugars)

grouped into mono, di, and polysaccharides



important as:


a quick energy source


glucose



storage of energy- glycogen



structural support- chitin of arthropods and cellulose of plants

lipids

highest energy density of all organic molecule


important as:
long-term energy stores



structural components of cells (membranes)



protective waxes (waxy outer covering incests )



hormones (steriods)

protein

made of amino acids
