1 Chordate Notochord Vertebra Ectotherm Endotherm
Phylum whose members have a notochord, nerve cord and a pouch in their throat Notochord A flexible rod that supports a chordate’s back Vertebra Small bones that make up the backbone Ectotherm An animal whose body does not produce much heat Endotherm An animal whose body controls and regulates its temperature by cooling the internal heat it produces

2 Fish Cartilage Swim Bladder Amphibian Tadpole
An ectothermic vertebrate that lives in water and has fins Cartilage A connective tissue, more flexible than bone that protects the ends of bones Swim Bladder An internal gas filled organ that helps bony fish stabilize their bodies at different depths Amphibian An ectothermic vertebrate that spends its early life in water and adult life on land Tadpole The larval form of a frog or toad

3 Lung Atrium Ventricle Habitat Reptile
