Vertebrates Vocabulary
What can you tell me about Vertebrates? • Phylum Chordata • True tissue • Bilateral symmetry • Coelomates • Deuterostomes • Vertebral column
Phylum Chordata: Major Groups • Jawless fish • Cartilage fish • Bone fish • Amphibians • Reptiles • Birds • Mammals
Vocab: Anatomical Directions • Dorsal – top or back side • Ventral – bottom or belly side • Anterior – Face end • Posterior – Tail end
Body Systems • Skeletal System (skeleton) • Circulatory System (blood/heart) • Integumentary System (skin) • Respiratory System (gas exchange) • Nervous System (brain) • Reproductive System (fertilization)
Skeletal System • Endoskeleton – internal skeletal structure (bones and cartilage) • Cartilage – tough flexible material that makes up part of the skeleton • Vertebral column – spine, or backbone • Axial Skeleton – Skull and vertebral column • Appendicular Skeleton – arms and legs
Pectoral girdle – where upper limbs attach • Pelvic girdle – where lower limbs attach
Circulatory System • Vein – carry blood toward heart • Artery – carry blood away from heart • Capillaries – tiny blood vessels where gas exchange occurs • Atrium – receiving chamber of heart • Ventricle – sending out chamber of heart
Integumentary System • Integument – body covering • Gills – aquatic oxygen filter • Lungs – land oxygen organ Respiratory System
Reproductive System • Internal vs. External Fertilization • How many eggs are fertilized?
Vertebrate Behaviors • Inborn behavior – is inherited and determined by species genetics • Reflexes: simple, automatic reactions • Ex.) blink when eye is touched • Instincts: automatic but time consuming and complex • Ex.) flying south, building a nest
Vertebrate Behaviors (cont.) • Learned behavior– is not inherited, they can be flexible and changed • Conditioned response: response to a specific stimuli in a specific way • Usually learned through reward or punishment • Ex.) dog tricks • Intelligent behavior: is the most complex vertebrate behavior. • Problem-solving, judgment, and decision-making
Fish • Aquatic Animals • Integument: scales or skin • Mucus coating for protection • Respiratory: gills • Reproduction: external fertilization • Most fish lay 100-1000 eggs a year • No parental care • Low success rate
Fish • Circulatory system: • Fish C.S. picture • Two Chambered heart • Flow of blood?
Fish • Nervous system: • Brain picture • Olfactory • Cerebrum • Optic • Cerebellum • Medulla Oblingata
Fish – 3 Classes • Agnatha(Jawless Fish) • Chondrichthyes (Cartilaginous Fish) • Osteichthyes (Bony Fish)
1. Agnatha (Cyclostomata) • Jawless Fish • Ex.) Lampreys and Hagfish
Agnatha (Cyclostomata) • Most primitive vertebrates • Native Environment: Atlantic Ocean • No hinged jaw or paired fins • Parasitic • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JQ6oHjpeqU
Most fish have jaws which may have evolved from skeletal gill supports
2. Chondrichthyes • Cartilage endoskeleton • Just the jaw is bone • Ex.) Sharks, rays, and skates
3. Osteichthyes • Fish with skeletons made of bone • Ex.) Most common fish, bass, trout, salmon, etc…
Fish Structure Pelvic Fin
Shark vs. True fish • Skeleton • Mouth location • Caudal fin • Body shape • Scales
Perch Dissection • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2URdwTA3Q8 How to cut • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNZQEmGp11k Anatomy
Amphibians • “Two lives” (tadpole adult) • Ex.) frogs, toads, salamanders, and caecilians • Feet, if present, are often webbed • Toes are soft and lack claws
Classifications • Apoda: rare legless tropical amphibians • caecilians • Urodela: amphibians that retain their tails. • salamanders, mud-puppies, and newts • Anura: amphibians that lack tails in their adult stage. • toads and frogs
Integument: Mucus covered skin • Prevents dehydration • Protection from parasites and predators • Hydrodynamic – swim faster • Nervous System: • Brain/spinal cord picture
Respiration: gills, lungs, skin, and/or mouth • Circulatory: • Three chambered heart • Picture • Problems: • Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood get mixed!
Reproduction: • Most externally fertilize • Amplexus - The male clasps the female from behind and presses its thumb into the female's ears. This stimulates the female to release her eggs while the male spreads sperm over the top. • Embryos and larva develop in water • Metamorphosis – change
Tadpole vs. Adult • Circulatory • Diet • Habitat • Legs • Respiratory
Counter shading– dorsal and ventral color for protection and warmth. (eggs and adults)
Mouth Anatomy • Tongue • Tympanic membrane • Vomerine teeth • Maxillary teeth • Vocal sac openings • Eye sockets
Digestive System • Esophagus – food travels to stomach • Stomach – break down food • Pylorus – exit valve of stomach • Duodenum - beginning of small intestine; where bile from the liver is added for further digestion • Liver - produces bile that aids digestion and stores carbohydrates
Small intestine – needed for nutrient absorption • Large intestine - where water is reabsorbed and waste is solidified • Cloaca – collects fecal waste, urine, and sex cells • Pancreas - produces insulin that controls the level of sugar in the blood
Excretory System • Kidney – removes waste and excess water from the blood • 25% of the frog's body weight is excreted in urine by the kidney each day • Excess water is absorbed by the skin

Vertebrates: Part II Reptiles & Birds
Reptiles & Birds • Toes have claws • Respiration – Well developed lungs • Digestion • similar organs to amphibians • Cloaca: total waste collector • Can be carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores
Reptiles & Birds • Nervous system – brain pic • Reproduction • Internal fertilization • Parental care (more in the birds) • Eggs: Reptiles (10-200), Birds (1-20)
Amniotic egg • Amnion – membrane around embryo • Yolk sac – nutrients • Allantois – waste sac • Chorion – outermost membrane
Reptiles • Ectothermic – body heat obtained outside of the body • Integument - Dry, scaly skin • Prevents water loss • Reptiles shed their skin to grow • Circulatory • 3.5 chambered heart • Incomplete septum: still get mixing
