3. CLASSIFICATION OF ANIMALS - MAJOR PHYLA I. PHYLUM CHORDATA 1. Characteristics a. Bilateral symmetry b. Coelom - 3 tissue layers c. Single, dorsal nerve cord d. Notochord e. Gill slits f. tail

4. Figure 34.2 Chordate characteristics

5. Classification Subphylums: Cephalochordata – Lancelets Urochordata –Tunicates Vertebrata – animals with back bones Vertebrates

6. Subphylum Vertebrata Fish (3 Classes) Amphibia Reptiles (2 Classes) Aves Mammalia Vertebrates

7. Vertebrata Fish – ectothermic – 2 chambered heart – sexual reproduction – scales covering body – *first to have jaws*

8. Vertebrates Vertebrata Amphibia – ectothermic – live in water and *moist land* – metamorphosis egg -> tadpole -> adult – walking – 3 chambered heart – *some have lungs*, some breathe through skin -> soft moist skin

9. Vertebrates Vertebrata Reptiles – ectothermic – aquatic & terrestrial *can live on dry land* – scales (made of keratin) – reproduce on land (leathery eggs) – some have a 4 chambered heart

10. Vertebrates Vertebrata Reptiles

11. Vertebrates Vertebrata Aves – *endothermic* – covered in feathers – lay eggs (hard shell) – have scales on legs – 4 chambered heart – terrestrial habitats

12. Vertebrates Vertebrata Aves

13. Vertebrates Vertebrata Mammalia – endothermic – covered in hair – *nurse their young* mammary glands produce milk – 4 chambered hearts – modified limbs – aquatic and terrestrial – lay eggs, finish development in pouches, birth fully developed animals
