  2. IntroductiontoOsteicthyes Taxonomic group of fish with bony skeletons instead of cartiligious Chordata i)Pisces 1)Chondricthyes/agnatha 2) Osteicthyes Over 29,000 species ( most of fishes) Dividedintotwolargegroupswhich are theray-finned fish (majority) and thelobe-finnedfish Oldestknownfossil 420 millionyears Uniquetoothpatternbetweentherows of teeth, found in fossils Name comes fromthelatinwordosteowhichmeansbone

  3. DifferenceBetweenOsteicthyes and Chondricthyes Osteicthyesmeansosseusorbonyfish, Chondricthyesmeanscartilagenous Difference in scales and covering of body Chondricthyes has no air bladderorlungs Difference in gillnumber

  6. RespiratorySystem Breathe through gills located on either side of the pharynx Threadlikestructurescalledfilaments Capillary network which creates space for exchangingoxygen andcarbon dioxide Exhale through a single opening, the gill slits, protected by a gill cover ( to keep out water from entering the lungs)

  7. CirculatorySystem Two muscular chambers that pump the blood, atrium and ventricle.  Atrium pumps blood into the ventricle Bulbusarteriosus Blood is pumped into capillary network , where the exchange of gas takes place (from aorta) Gathers in a thin-walled sac, sinus venosus Returns to the atrium

  8. SensorySystem Highlydevelopedsenseorgans, vital for fish Color vision, at leastbetterthanhumans Chemoreceptors that are responsible for superior senses of taste and smell Catfish, have organs that detect weak electric currents (example) Fish eyes are similar to those of terrestrial vertebrates like  mammals, but have a more spherical lens Fish have pain and fear responses Nervous system poorly developed

  9. DigestiveSystem Esophagus is short and flexible , large amounts can be swallowed (layered with muscle) Stomach muscular tube in a ‘u’ or ‘v’ shape. Gastric glands, break down food The pyloric caeca is an adaptation for increasing the gut area; they digest food. Pancreas  Food absorption takes place in the intestine. Plant-eating bony fishes generally have long intestines. Carnivorous bony fishes have shorter intestines
