Different classes of
vertebrates, which includejawless fishes
(e.g., lampreys),
cartilaginous fishes (e.g.,
sharks), bony fishes,
amphibians, reptiles, birds,
and mammals.
2
•A vertebrate is an animal with a strong, flexible backbone.
•You are an example of a vertebrate.
•All vertebrates exhibit bilateral symmetry and a true
body cavity with an endoskeleton.
•Found in aquatic and terrestrial environments.

8 Classes
5
Endoskeleton:•Support
•Attachment for muscles•Grows with the animal
6
Major Characteristics:•Lateral Line System
•Row of sensitive cells that can detect very small amounts of motion in the water.
•Closed circulatory system with a heart•Well developed nervous system and brain•Exchange gases using gills- diffusion•Herbivores, carnivores, parasites, filter feeders, and Detritivores.•Movement- contracting muscles on either side of the backbone

Skeleton made of fibers and cartilage
HagfishLack eyes- detect light through sensors on their
bodyFeed on dead and dying fish
9
Lampreys •Usually parasites•Have funnel-like mouths lined with sharp teeth.•In center of mouth is tongue with a tooth like projection.•Attaches to other fish by suction. It tears a hole in the fish and injects a chemical chemical that keeps the blood from clotting. Sucks blood and fluids from its host.
10
11
•Sharks and Rays•Complete vertebral column, movable jaws, and skeleton with paired fins.•All of these structures are made up of cartilage•Whale shark can grow up to 49.5 ft weighing 39,600 pounds.
12
Water enters the mouth and water passes over the gills where the gases are exchanged.Sharp sense of smell.
Also have lateral line system.Internal fertilization

Skeleton made of boneMarine and freshwaterSwim Bladder: thin sac that acts as a float. (Filled with oxygen and other gasses) Can be adjustedadjusted so that the fish can move to different levels.Gills for gas exchangeTwo chambered heart

18
Major Characteristics:•Lives in water as a larvae and on
land as an adult•Moist skin
•Breathes with lungs as an adult•Lacks scales and claws
•Must return to water to reproduce.•Age of amphibians: 360-286 mya

Success on Land:Lungs, stronger bones
in limbs to help support weight out of water, breastbone to
protect internal organs.
Salamanders, newts, frogs, and toads
First vertebrates to adapt to life on land
Young can only live in water
Undergo metamorphosis and can
live on land tadpole stage can
regenerate lost parts
Frog &Toads 20
•Smooth skin, no scales, feet are webbed, toes are soft and lack claws•Respiration through gills, lungs and/or skin•no external ears: have eardrums or tympanic membranes
21
Eggs usually Eggs usually laid in water laid in water and fertilized and fertilized
externallyexternally
22
23
EcologyEcology•Food for
other animals
•Some can produce poison - defense
Blue Poison Frog
24
Turtles, crocodilians, Lizards, and Snakes
25
Major Characteristics:•Dry, scaly skin
Helps prevent water lossWith scales or plates
•LungsAble to breath airClip
26
27
Lay eggs with several membranes• Oviparous: animals that lay eggs• One of the most important adaptations for life on land.• Does not need water for reproduction
28
Egg covered w/a shell that protects the developing embryo from drying outdrying out
29
Limbs, if present, having toes with claws used for climbing, digging, and moving around on land.
•Strong limbs•Internal fertilization
30
Body temperature that varies with that of the surroundings.Cannot generate their own body heat
EctothermEctotherm: animals with a body temperature that is influenced by the environment
31
32
Strong Chests muscles
•Only group adapted to life in the air.•Body covered with feathers
•Modified scales•Made of protein and develop in pit in the
birds’ skin.•Two types: Contour (Lift) & Down
(Warmth)•Help birds fly and keep warm
•Attract mate•In some species-waterproof
33
Endotherms: A constant warm temp. generated
internally by a high metabolic
rate.
34
Two legs covered with scales
Modified for specific use- perching, walking,
etc.Front limbs modified
into wings.
35
Molting: birds sheds their feathers at least once a year (gradual)
Thin hollow bones
36
-Toothless beak•Birds have many different types of feet and beaks. Modified for the life style of the bird.
37
Thin hollow bones.
Reproduction:Internal
fertilizationAmniotic egg- harder shells than reptiles
38
Digestion:Crop: StorageGizzard: Can contain small
stones, help with the mechanical breakdown of
food
39
There are many species of flightless birds: ostrich, penguins

Rheas
Cassowary

Major Characteristics
•Body covered with hair•Young nourished in the uterus
•Young nourished w/milk from mammary glands
•lung-breathing throughout lifetime•diaphram
•Have four chambered heart•endothermic: maintain constant body
temperature•Subcutaneous Fat under skin to conserve
heat•Sweat glands to cool body
42
Feeding:Carnivores, herbivores, and
omnivores.Evolution of a strong more
powerful jaw enabled mammals to eat food other
than insects.
