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

large and complex brain |
|
hair and modification |
spines (porcupine and echidra)

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 |
|

highest energy density of all organic molecule important as:
structural components of cells (membranes)
protective waxes (waxy outer covering incests )
