1 Vertebrates

2 Vertebrate Characteristics Endoskeleton Vertebrae Integument Gills & Lungs _____________ circulatory system Digestive Tract _____________ remove nitrogen waste Brain Sexual reproduction

3 Phylum Chordata Notochord Dorsal hollow nerve cord Pharyngeal pouches Post anal tail These are present at some time in the developmental process

4 General Characteristics Vertebral column Cranium Closed circulatory system Neural crest Internal organs Endoskeleton

5 Vertebrate Classes Agnatha – Jawless fish Chondrichthyes – Cartilage and unique scales Osteichthyes – bony fish Amphibia – double life (aquatic and land) Reptilia – egg layers Aves – wing Mammalia – hair and mammary gland

6 Evolution of the Jaw

7 The Fishes Jawless  Cartilaginous  Calcified Bone Life in Water – Streamline body – Dense tail muscle – Gill  lung – Swim bladder Homeostasis – Kidney function Sensory Functions – Lateral line system

8 Agnatha Jawless fish Lack paired fins No plates or scales Cartilage No swim bladder _______________________ Ectothermic External fertilization ________ chambered heart Gills Examples - Hagfish and Lamprey

9 Chondrichthyes Cartilage skeleton ______________________ Paired fins No swim bladder Lateral line Ectothermic Internal fertilization _______ chambered heart Gills Triangular teeth Shark, Ray, Skate

10 Osteichthyes Bony fish Lateral line _________ chambered heart Lung swim bladder ________________ with gills Scales Paired fins Ectothermic External fertilization Spawning Examples - Lobe and Ray fins

11 Amphibia Ectothermic Gills  lungs ______________________ Respiration Protection __________ chambered heart Separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood Bony skeleton Digestive system External fertilization Metamorphosis

12 Evolution 370 million years ago Lobed fin moved over land Challenges – Water availability – Air temperature – New habitats – Climate shifts

13 Orders of Amphibians – Urodela – salamander – Anura – frogs and toads – Apoda - caecilians

14

16

17 Reptilia Evolved from amphibians – Greater modifications – Cortex region of brain – ________ chambered heart w/ partial divided ventricle Water freedom – Water tight skin – Copulatory organ – Kidney – ___________________________

18 The Amniotic Egg

19 Orders – Crocodilia Crocodile Alligator – Chelonia Turtles – Squamata Lizards and Snakes

20 Aves Evolved from ___________ – Only 150 million years ago Horny keratinized beak, scaly leg, egg laying Feathers Wing Strong muscles ________________________ _________ chambered heart Endothermic Migration

21 Mammalia Origin from small, hairless reptile Traits Increased Brain capacity _________________________ Hair Dentition for dietary habits __________ chambered heart _________________________ Endothermic

22 Orders – ________________________ Duckbilled platypus Spiny anteater – ________________________ Pouched animals Australia and New Zealand – ________________________ Young nourished within uterus placenta
