  1. A Survey of Living Vertebrates 20-2

  2. Manta ray - cartilaginous fish Puffer fish - bony fish Snapping turtle - reptile Crocodile - reptile Sand lizard - reptile Flamingo Swan - feeding etc. What is it? (side four - chapter 10)

  3. Can you….. • Describe the characteristics of living vertebrates? • Describe the amniotic egg?

  4. Textbook page 475 • What are the key points that each section contains?

  5. Classification of Vertebrates All vertebrates have a backbone. Most also have • two sets of appendages • closed circulatory system • ventral heart • gills or lungs

  6. Jawless Fish • Only living vertebrates without jaws • Lamprey • Hagfish (page 471)

  7. Cartilaginous Fish • Sharks, skates, rays • Chondricthyes • Fearsome predators • Few attack humans

  8. Bony fish • enormous and diverse class • Ostrichthyes • ray-finned fish • lobe-finned fish - evolved to tetrapods

  9. Amphibians • few species • few survived Permian extinction • lay eggs in water • larva have gills • adults have lungs • moist skin as respiratory surface

  10. Attracting a mate Mating behavior

  11. Varnished to save water

  12. Reptiles • Internal fertilization • Fully terrestrial - first • Amniotic egg • Three orders: Turtles and tortoises; crocodiles and alligators; lizards and snakes

  13. Birds • Class Aves • Feathers • Amniotic egg • 27 different orders

  14. Mammals • All have mammary glands • Monotremes: leathery-shelled eggs • Marsupials: pouched • Placental mammals
