Monday May 12, 2014 • Starter: What phylum would fish fall into? What characteristics tell you what phylum they are in?
Tuesday May 13, 2014 • Starter:Yesterday we discussed chordates and the different classes considered as chordates. Into which class would perch be classified? What about sharks? • *This will be needed for dissection tomorrow and next week*
Phylum Chordata • Subphylum Urochordata (uro = tail; chordata= cord) • Subphylum Cephalochordata (cephalo = head; chordata= cord) • Subphylum Vertebrata (vertebrate = backbone)
Phylum Chordata • All exhibit these characteristics: • 1) dorsal tubular nerve cord • 2) notochord • fluid filled cells encased by fibrous tissue is located between the digestive tube and the nerve cord • 3) pharyngialslits (aka gills) • 4) tail • 5) coelom body cavity • 6) bilateral symmetry
It’s What All the Chordates are Wearing were the first "backbones" serving as support structures in chordates makes up the nervous system
It’s What All the Chordates are Wearing filter-feeding organs; aka gills
Subphylum Urochordata • sea squirts or tunicates • notochord does not extend into head and • is only present in adults • larvae is free-swimming but non-feeding • adult is sessile filter feeder
Subphylum Cephalochordata • “head” cord • lancelet or Amphioxus • notochord present throughout life • extends into head region
Subphylum Vertebrata General Characteristics: • chordates with a backbone • exhibit cephalization • closed circulatory system • neural crest: definite place we find a brain
Agnatha (without jaws) • lamprey and hagfish • no paired appendages
Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes) • flexible endoskeletons of cartilage strengthened by calcium granules • sharks, skates, and rays • internal fertilization • some active hunters, other bottom feeders
Osteichthyes(bony fish) • Endoskeleton of hard calcium phosphate matrix • Operculum- protective flap • Swim bladder – controls buoyancy and swimming
Amphibia(“two lives”) • transition to land – still tied to water for respiration and reproduction • Gills lungs (metamorphosis) • Frogs, toads, salamanders, newts
Reptilia (to creep) • lizards, snakes, turtles, tortoises, Gila monsters, crocodiles, alligators • first true land animal • scales, lungs, amniotic eggs • no feathers • cold-blooded – ectotherms – (energy conservation)
Mammalia (breast) • Active metabolism = warm blooded • Efficient respiration (use lungs) • Efficient circulation w/ 4-chambered heart • Layer of fat • Mammary glands
Aves (bird) • feathered • few flightless: ostrich, kiwi, emu • breastbone with keel – carina – permitting flight • jays, sparrows, warblers, etc.
A Few Classes: • Myxini: jawless Hagfish • snake like • Cephalaspidomorphi: Lampreys • oldest living lineage of verabrates. • Chondrichthyes: Sharks, rays, etc. • The biggest and most successful predators • Actinopterygii: Ray-finned fishes • common fishes: bass, clownfish, tuna, etc. • Actinistia: Lobed fin, spike containing fish • Dipnoi: Lungfish • freshwater
Nervous System • most have a central nervous system • brain • network of nerves • hollow nerve chord
Circulatory System • CLOSED CIRCULATORY SYSTEM which contains: • at least 1 heart (most 2 chambered some 4 chambered) • blood vessels (capillaries, etc) and blood
Gas Exchange • pharyngeal slits (aka gills): allow for O2/CO2 gas exchange via capillary network • H2O pumped over gills forcing oxygen poor water out and pulling on oxygen rich H2O through their mouths
Sensory Structures • most have complex, well developed eyes • lateral line: structure that detects motion/vibration in the water • some have nasal sacs that connect to their nasal passage to improve their sense of smell
Digestive System • complete digestive system: • ingest food through mouth • esophagus • stomach • most have intestines
Excretory System • all fish: • get rid of waste through anus • have kidneys • some contain urinary bladder
Locomotion/Musculature • all contain a complex muscle system similar to humans • most use their tails to propel themselves through water • some have fins to also aid in movement
Skeletal System • most have a complex, joint skeleton • either made of cartilage or are considered bony (made of calcium phosphate) • most have vertebrae (lose notochord during embryonic development) • some have more primitive notochord which means less jointed skeletons
Reproduction • reproduce sexually • most external fertilizers • embryos develop and hatch externally (oviparous) • Chondrichthyes use internal fertilization • in some: embryos carried internally and live birth (viviparous) • some ovoviviparous (retain fertilized eggs hatch within the uterus) • others are oviparous
