4 Chordate Characteristics

1. Notochord Long, flexible rod between digestive tube and nerve cord NOT the spinal cord

2. Dorsal Hollow Nerve Chord Formed from ectoderm

3. Pharyngeal Clefts (Gills) Pouches along side of pharynx

4. Post-anal Tail Do I need to explain this one?

Vertebrate Classes

Lampreys & Hagfish (Agnathostomes) Oldest vertebrates Jawless, parasitic, cartilaginous skeleton

of 19

Chondrichthyes

Cartilaginous Fishes (Chondrichthyes) Cartilaginous skeleton Sharks & Rays

of 19

Osteichthyes

Bony fishes

Bony exoskeleton

Swim Bladder

of 19

Amphibia

Frogs and salamanders

Gas exchange occurs across the thin, moist skin

External fertilization & external development in an aquatic environment

of 19

Amniotes

Terrestrial tetrapods with terrestrially-adapted egg

Reptiles, Birds (Aves), and Mammals

Amniotic Egg Adaptation to living on land (especially dry land) Shell that retains water

of 19

Amniotic Egg

4 Extra embryonic Membranes:1. Amnion – encloses the embryo in fluid sac Shock absorption Amniotic fluid

2.Chorion & Allantois – Gas exchange3.Allantios – disposal sac for metabolic wastes4.Yolk Sac – contains the yolk (nutrient stockpile)

of 19

Reptilia

Turtles, lizards, snakes, alligators, & dinosaurs

Keratin-containing scales - Reduce water loss

Lungs for obtaining oxygen

Internal fertilization (cloacal kiss)

Uric Acid – nitrogenous waste

Amniotic egg

Ectothermic – control body temp. through external means

of 19

Birds

Wings

Reptilian Characters Amniotic egg Leg scales with keratin

Adapted for flight Light, hollow bones Few organs Feathers

of 19

Birds (Page 2)

Endothermic Maintain warm, consistent

body temperature Feathers + fat layer insulate

birds High rate of metabolism

4-Chambered heart

of 19

Mammal Characteristics

Milk

Mammary glands – produce milk

Body covering of fur or Hair

Internal fertilization Most are born rather than

hatched

of 19

Mammal Types

Monotremes Egg-laying mammals Have hair & produce milk

Marsupials Born early & complete development

in marsupium (pouch) while nursing

Eutherians (Placental mammals) Long pregnancy period Development proceeds inside uterus

of 19

Primates

Order that contains humans, monkeys, & gorillas

Opposable thumbs

Large brains

Forward-oriented eyes

Intensive child rearing

Complex social structure
