Rib Cage • Compare the ribcage of the pigeon, rat and frog. • How do the differences in their ribcages relate to locomotion? • How do the differences in their ribcages relate to the way they breath?
Forelimbs • Identify the following on the frog, bird and cat skeletons. • Humerus • Radius • Ulna • Carpals • Metacarpals • Phalanges • How do the structures above differ among the organisms?
Circulatory System • Compare the blood flow through a two, three and four chambered heart. • Identify the chambers of each heart. • Which diagram best describes the blood flow through and amphibian larva? • Vertebrates with three chambered hearts evolved partitions in the ventricle and in a structure called the conus arteriosus to help keep oxygenated blood separate from deoxygenated blood. See drawing.

Digestive Tracts • Why does the shark lack a large intestine? • Describe structures that increase surface area in the shark and pig intestine? How are they different/same? • Why does the frog need much less surface area in its intestine compared with the shark and pig?
Digestive Tract Key • Esophagus • Stomach • Duodenum • Intestine • Small Intestine • Large Intestine • Colon • Rectum IC Cecum IL Ileum P Pyloric Sphincter
Brain Structure • Look at the figures of the brain and note the relative size of each of the labeled regions. • Which organism uses sight as its primary sense? • Which organism uses smell as its primary sense? • The mammal and the bird cerebellum are proportionally about the same size. However, the mammal’s cerebellum is more convoluted. How does this make their cerebellums different? • Look at the wet mount of vertebrate brains. • What region of the cat brain is much larger than the rest of the organisms? • What is the purpose of the enlarged region? • What is the purpose of the convolutions?
