Vertebrate Movement to Land
SZ2- Students will explain
evolutionary history of animals
over the history of life on
earth.
• Tetrapods- Animals with 4
limbs
– Amphibians
– Reptiles
– Birds
– Mammals
• Evolved from fish
1
Transition from Sea to Land

•Coelacanth

Eusthenopteron

Panderichthys

Transitional Tetrapods
Skull, teeth, limbs similar to lobefinned fish
Acanthostega
Ichthyostega

Amphibians

Adaptations to live on land
•
•
•
•
Gills are usually lost
Lungs function
Breathe through skin
Secrete mucus
– Prevent dehydration
– Aids in respiration
12
More Adaptations to live on land
• Skeleton
– Fins evolve into limbs
– Vertebral column
supports body
underneath it
AIR IS NOT AS BOUYANT AS
WATER.

Evolution of Circulation
Fish
Amphibian

Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata
Subphylum Vertebrata
Class Amphibia
1st land vertebrates
Ex: frogs, toads, & salamanders
Class Amphibia – “Double Life”
frogs, toads, salamanders, & newts
Characteristics
• “Double Life” -lives part of
its life in water and part
on land
• Ectothermic- “outside
heat”- body temp.
regulated by environment
• no scales or claws
• Have thin, moist skin
AMPHIBIAN METAMORPHOSIS
•
•
•
•
Egg- tadpole- adult
larvae are herbivores, adults carnivores
larva have tails to move in water
external fertilization with no parental care
lay eggs without shells in water

• Amphibian Body Plan
– Bilateral symmetry
– 3 chambered heart
– Larvae breathe through gills; adults breathe
through lungs
– Breathe through thin, moist skin (produces
mucus)
– Changes from larva to adult through
the process of metamorphosis
Class Amphibia
Order Anura
•
•
•
•
Anura- an=without, ura= tail
Tailless
Hindlegs adapted for jumping and swimming
Tympanum (ear drum) and larynx well
developed
Ex. Frogs and toads

Class Amphibia
Order Caudata
• Caudata- “have a tail”
• Long tail
• 2 pairs of limbs
Ex. Salamanders and newts
Class Amphibia:
Order
Gymnophiona(Apoda)
Gymnos- naked
ophis- snake
live in tropics
Elongated body
Limbless
carnivores
Ex. Caecilians – “blind”-small eyes
Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata
Class Reptilia
Ex: snake, turtle, lizards
crocodile, dinosaurs
Reptilian Traits:
3 chambered heart (except for crocodilians- imperfect 4)
Ectothermic
Paired limbs with five toes and claws
Tough, dry, scaly skin (horny epidermal scales)
Jaws adapted for crushing and gripping
Breathe with lungs
Solid nitrogen wastes - due to metanephric kidney
Large cerebrum as compared to rest if brainbehaviors- 1. instinct
2. learned
Reptile Legs
• Short tetrapods for
walking
• Positioning of the legs
more directly under
the animal. This
position provided more
support than the
splayed arrangement
of the Amphibian legs.
Reproduction:
Internal fertilization (to avoid desiccation of
gametes), oviparous
Lay amniotic eggs on land- no dependence on water
Shells leathery, sometimes calcareous
Amniotic Egg Structures & Functions
• Chorion provides a special hard covering that is permeable to
respiratory gases (O2 and CO2) while being impermeable to water
vapor.
• Allantois is a storage reservoir for metabolic waste products such
as nitrogenous compounds and gas exchange.
• Amnion is a fluid filled sac that acts as a cushion for the embryo
and also prevents desiccation.
• Yolk sac contains food for the embryo, thus eliminating the need
for a larval stage.
Phylum Chordata
Subphylum Vertebrata
Class Reptilia
Order Testudine:
Body in a bony case
-dorsal carapace(top of shell)
- ventral plastron(bottom of shell)
Jaws with a horny beak, no teeth
Vertebrae and ribs fused
Ex. Turtles and tortoises
Turtle Shell Anatomy
Fusion of ribs, vertebrae, & carapace
Turtle Life Cycle
Phylum Chordata
Subphylum Vertebrata
Class Reptilia
Order Sphenodonta
• Primitive reptile
• closely related to dinosaur
• Looks like lizard
• Diapsid skull
Ex. Tuatara- only living species
Phylum Chordata
Subphylum Vertebrata
Class Reptilia
Order Squamata
Diapsid skull with two temporal openings
Skin is shed with horny epidermal scales
Jacobson’s organ- sense of smell
Movable skin, kinetic skull
Poisonous- hemotoxins (blood) , neurotoxins(nervous system)
EX. Snakes and lizards
Lizards have movable eyelids
Snakes- descended from tetrapod ancestor
Phylum Chordata
Subphylum Vertebrata
Class Reptilia
Order Crocodilia
• Elongated massive skull
• Imperfect 4 chambered heart
• crocodiles, alligators, and caimans, gavials
Crocodilians
Crocodiles, Alligators,
Caimans, & Gavials
Gavial
Alligator
Crocodile
Caiman
Crocodilian Reproduction
• The temperature inside the nest of several crocodilian
species decides the sex of the young. ~50-80 eggs
• If the nest temperature is 30ºC, females will hatch
• If the temperature is above 34ºC - males.
• If the temperature is in between- young of both sexes.
Land Adaptations for Reptiles
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Legs underneath bodies (tetrapods)
Lungs
more efficient circulatory system
Scales- prevents dehydration, protection
Claws
Amniotic egg
The excretory waste of the reptiles is uric acid
unlike the dilute, water wasting ammonia in
the urine of Amphibians
