Standard 6-3.1: Vertebrates
• Animals with backbones
• Vertebrates share other physical characteristics; for
example
–
–
–
–
–
a protective skin covering
an inside skeleton
muscles
blood that circulates through blood vessels
lungs (or gills) for breathing.

• Vertebrates have legs or fins for movement
• Vertebrates have a nervous system with brains that process
information from their environments through sensory
organs, such as ears or tongues
• Vertebrates also contain many highly developed systems
associated with their specialized organs.
• There are thousands of species of vertebrates divided into
five groups: fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and
birds.
Standard 6-3.1:
Vertebrates - Fish
• Fish have backbones
• Fish are cold-blooded (ectothermic)
• Fish obtain dissolved oxygen in water
through gills
• Most fish lay eggs
• Fish have scales
• Fish have fins
• Fish live in the water

Standard 6-3.1:
Vertebrates - Amphibians
• Amphibians have backbones
• Amphibians are cold-blooded (ectothermic)
• Amphibians can breathe in water with gills early
in life, and breathe on land with lungs as adults
• Amphibians go through metamorphosis and lay
jelly-like eggs
• The major groups of amphibians are frogs, toads,
and salamanders
• Frogs and salamanders have smooth, moist skin,
through which they can breathe; and live part of
their life in water and part on land.
• Toads have thicker, bumpy skin and live on land.

• Reptiles have backbones
• Reptiles are cold-blooded
(ectothermic)
• Reptiles breathe with lungs
• Most Reptiles lay eggs; although
in some the eggs hatch inside the
female
• Reptiles have scales or plates

Standard 6-3.1:
Vertebrates - Mammals
• Mammals have backbones
• Mammals are warm-blooded
(endothermic)
• Mammals breathe with lungs
• Mammals have babies that are
born live
• Mammals have fur or hair
• Mammals produce milk to feed
their young

Standard 6-3.1:
Vertebrates - Birds
• Birds have backbones
• Birds are warm-blooded
(endothermic)
• Birds Breathe with lungs
• Birds Lay eggs
• Birds have feathers
• Birds have a beak, two wings,
and two feet

What are three functions of a
backbone?
• The backbone supports the body, gives
the body flexibility, and protects the spinal
cord.

Explain how ectotherms and
endotherms differ in the way they
control their body temperature.
• The body temperature of ectotherms
changes depending on the temperature of
environment. Endotherms have bodies
that control internal body heat and
therefore maintain nearly constant body
temperature.
