  1. VERTEBRATES

  2. YOU MUST KNOW… • THE FOUR CHORDATE CHARACTERISTICS • TRAITS WHICH DISTINGUISH EACH OF THE FOLLOWING GROUPS: CHONDRICHTHYES, OSTEICHTHYES, AMPHIBIA, REPTILIA, BIRDS, AND MAMMALIA • ADAPATIONS THAT ALLOWED ANIMALS TO MOVE ONTO LAND • HOW THE THREE CLASSES OF MAMMALS DIFFER IN THEIR REPRODUCTION

  3. CONCEPT 34.1 • CHORDATES HAVE A NOTOCHORD AND A DORSAL, HOLLOW NERVE CORD

  4. VERTEBRATES ARE MEMBERS OF THE PHYLUM CHORDATA • 4 CHARACTERISTICS • NOTOCHORD – APPEARS DURING EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN THE DIGESTIVE TUBE AND THE DORSAL NERVE CORD • DORSAL, HOLLOW NERVE CORD – FORMED FROM A PLATE OF ECTODERM THAT ROLLS INTO A HOLLOW TUBE • PHARYNGEAL CLEFTS – GROOVES THAT SEPARATE A SERIES OF POUCHES ALONG THE SIDES OF THE PHARYNX. THEY ALLOW WATER TO ENTER AND EXIT THE MOUTH WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE DIGESTIVE TRACT • A MUSCULAR TAIL POSTERIOR TO THE ANUS

  5. CONCEPT 34.3 • VERTEBRATES ARE CRANIATES THAT HAVE A BACKBONE

  6. LAMPREYS • OLDEST LINEAGE OF VERTEBRATES, JAWLESS PARASITIC FISH WITH A SKELETON OF CARTILAGE

  7. CONCEPT 34.4 • GNATHOSTOMES ARE VERTEBRATES THAT HAVE JAWS

  8. JAWS EVOLVED FROM MODIFICATION OF THE PHARYNGEAL (GILL) SLITS • CLASS CHONDRICHTHYES – FLEXIBLE ENDOSKELETONS COMPOSED OF CARTILAGE, STREAMLINED BODIES, DENSER THAN WATER, WILL SINK IF THEY STOP SWIMMING – SHARKS AND RAYS • CLASS OSTEICHTHYES – BONY FISHES, COVERED WITH SCALES, POSSESS A SWIM BLADDER – TROUT AND SALMON

  9. CONCEPT 34.5 • TETRAPODS ARE GNATHOSTOMES THAT HAVE LIMBS AND FEET

  10. CLASS AMPHIBIA – INCLUDE FROGS, TOADS, SALAMANDERS, AND NEWTS • GAS EXCHANGE CAN OCCUR ACROSS THEIR THIN, MOIST SKIN – MAY HAVE LUNGS • MAY HAVE AQUATIC LARVAL STAGE WITH GILLS AND METAMORPHOSIS TO AN ADULT (FROGS) • HAVE EXTERNAL FERTILIZATION AND EXTERNAL DEVELOPMENT IN AN AQUATIC ENVT (EGGS WITHOUT SHELL) • AS LARVAE, AMPHIBIANS HAVE A TWO-CHAMBERED HEART (1,1). AS ADULT, THREE-CHAMBERED HEART (2,1).

  11. CONCEPT 34.6 • AMNIOTES ARE TETRAPODS THAT HAVE A TERRESTRIALLY ADAPTED EGG

  12. AMNIOTES CONSIST OF MAMMALS AND REPTILES (ALSO BIRDS) • AMNIOTIC EGG WAS IMPORTANT EVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENT FOR LIFE ON LAND • EGGS HAVE SHELL THAT RETAINS WATER SO IT CAN BE LAID IN DRY ENVT • EGG HAVE AMNION (FLUID), CHORION, ALLANTOIS, AND YOLK SAC (GAS EXCHANGE, WASTER STORAGE, AND TRANSFER OF STORED NUTRIENTS)

  13. REPTILES – TURTLES, LIZARDS, SNAKES, ALLIGATORS, CROCODILES, EXTINCT DINOSAURS • MODERN REPTILES HAVE SCALES CONTAINING KERATIN (REDUCE WATER LOSS) • OBTAIN OXYGEN THROUGH LUNGS • ECTOTHERMIC (REGULATE TEMP THROUGH BEHAVIORAL ADAPTATIONS RATHER THAN METABOLISM • INTERNAL FERTILIZATION AND AMNIOTE SHELLED EGG • NITROGENOUS WASTE IS URIC ACID • HEART IS THREE-CHAMBERED (2,1)

  14. BIRDS – WINGS, FEATHERS, ADAPTATIONS FOR FLIGHT • LAY AMNIOTIC EGGS • HAVE KERATIN-CONTAINING SCALES ON THEIR LEGS • LIGHT, HOLLOW BONES, FEWER ORGANS • FEATHERS AND A LAYER OF FAT INSULATES BIRDS • FOUR-CHAMBERED HEART, HIGH METABOLISM • ENDOTHERMS – MAINTAIN A WARM, CONSISTENT BODY TEMP

  15. CONCEPT 34.7 • MAMMALS ARE AMNIOTES THAT HAVE HAIR AND PRODUCE MILK

  16. MAMMALS POSSESS MAMMARY GLANDS • HAVE A BODY COVERING OF HAIR • HAVE A FOUR-CHAMBERED HEART • ARE ENDOTHERMIC • INTERNAL FERTILIZATION, ARE BORN • PROPORTIONALLY LARGER BRAINS THAN OTHER VERTEBRATES • ALL HAVE TEETH OF DIFFERING SIZE AND SHAPE

  17. MONOTREMES – EGG LAYING MAMMALS THAT HAVE HAIR AND PRODUCE MILK – PLATYPUSES, ANTEATERS • MARSUPIALS – BORN EARLY IN DEVELOPMENT AND COMPLETE EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT IN A POUCH WHILE NURSING – KARGAROO, OPOSSUM • PLACENTAL MAMMALS (EUTHERIANS) – LONGER PREGNANCY, COMPLETE THEIR DEVELOPMENT IN THE UTERUS – DOGS, HUMANS

  18. HUMANS BELONG TO THE ORDER PRIMATES ALONG WITH MONKEYS AND GORILLAS • OPPOSABLE THUMBS, LARGE BRAINS AND SHORT JAWS, FORWARD-LOOKNG EGGS, FLAT NAILS, WELL-DEVELOOPED PARENTAL CARE, COMPLEX SOCIAL BEHAVIOR • HUMANS – INCREASED BRAIN VOLUME, SHORTENING OF JAW, BIPEDAL POSTURE, REDUCED SIZE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEXES
