Transcript Vertebrate Classes - Fulton County Schools

Vertebrate Classes
All in Chordate Phylum
1
All vertebrates have…
 Bilateral symmetry
 Fully developed coelom with
organs
 Closed circulatory system
 Endoskeleton with spinal cord
2
Vertebrate Classes
 Fish
 Amphibians
 Reptiles
 Birds
 Mammals
3
Types of Fish
Lamprey and hagfish
(jawless)
bony fish
Shark (cartilage)
4
Lampreys/Hagfish
Jawless Fish
 Lampreys attach to fish-parasites
 Have “round sucker like mouths”
• Hagfish are Scavengers of dead and
dying fish on ocean bottom
Sharks, Skates, Rays
• Jaws
• The shark’s mouth has 6 to 20 rows of
backward-pointing teeth
• Some can detect blood from an
injured animal as far as 500 miles
away
• No swim bladder
6
Bony Fish
 Most are familiar fishes and include
snake-like eels, salmon, trout, bass,
herring, and lantern fish
(most fish we eat)
7
Bony Fish
 Fishes are the most numerous of all
vertebrates and most widespread in
their distribution
 Ectothermic
8
Obtain Oxygen
 Fish obtain O2 through their gills
 Fish can extract 85 % of the
oxygen passing over the gills
 Blood goes to the gills, is oxygenated and
sent to all parts of the body
 Single loop circulation in fish
10
Fish have a two chambered heart –
blood is passed over the gills where it
picks up oxygen and gets rid of
carbon dioxide.
Fish - 2 chamber heart
 1 atrium – makes
sure blood is
always available
for ventricle
1 ventricle –
pumps blood to
gills and then to
the body
2 chamber heart
Some problems:
 Slow delivery
 MUCH more energy required to move
on land (or in air) = more O2 needed
faster
13
Fish Reproduction
 Usually external fertilization
 Large numbers of eggs are fertilized
during Spawning – when fish reproduce

Geographic

Barndoor skate (Dipturus laevis)
Cartilage Fish
 Ectothermic
 Sharks, Skates and Rays fertilization
is internal-most are born live
 Some sharks lay eggs
Skate
16
Variety of Rays
There are many
different
types of rays
including
stingrays,
electric rays,
butterfly rays,
round rays,
manta rays,
guitarfish,
and sawfish. 17
Early aquatic adaptations
 Teeth (everyone) – evolved from skin
**shift from scavenging
to predation (lampreys)
 Jaws (sharks and bony fish)
**provide chewing / biting force
18
Later aquatic adaptations
 Bony fish evolve swim bladder
--air bag that allows fish to move
up and down in water-called
buoyancy
--sharks sink when not swimming
 Swim bladder adapted to be lungs on
land
Transitional fish /
amphibian?
 Tiktaalik roseae
20
Amphibians
Salamander
Frog
Toad
21

23
Amphibians on land
 Four legs to walk on land-These are
adapted fish fins at right angles from
body
 Ectotherms- Body temperature the
same as the surrounding temperature.
 Hibernate or Estivate depending on
climate
24
3 Chamber Heart
 O2 through lungs and
moist skin called
cutaneous respiration
 2 atria – 1 from body
(deoxygenated), 1 from
lungs (oxygenated)
 1 ventricle – pumps
blood to lungs and body
25
3 chamber heart
 Problem solved:
Blood getting to body cells faster
(heart pumps directly to body)
 New problem:
Deoxygenated blood mixes with
oxygenated blood in atria
26
Amphibian limitations
 Must live in wet areas for 2 reasons
1) External fertilization - Reproduce in water (lay eggs
there)
egg  tadpole  young frog  adult frog- called
Metamorphosis
2) Go to water to keep skin moist
Bullfrogs Eat Everything
28
Reptiles
29
Reptiles
turtle
crocodile
snake
Adaptation-Claws
 Strong, bony skeletons
and toes with claws
 Claws-aid in climbing,
digging and movement in
various terrains
31
More Reptile Adaptations
 Adaptations evolved which allow
reptiles to live totally on land.
1) Scales to prevent water loss
2) Laying eggs that can survive on land =
amniotic egg
Internal fertilization
32
Reptilian Scales
33
Eggs
 Amniotic egg – has all the water and
nutrients inside for embryo to survive
34
Reptile limitations
 Must live in warm areas
 Limited by ectothermy
35
Regulating body temperature
 Ectotherm (“cold-blooded”) –
animal does not maintain a constant
body temperature
Outside Temp = Body Temp
36
Ectothermy
•Become
sluggish in
very cold
temperature
•Bask in the
sun or seek
shade
37
Ectothermy
Pros
 No energy needed
to keep warm
inside
Cons
 Restricted to warm
climates only
 Active only during
day
38
Heart
1. Heart of most Reptiles-3 chambers
2. Still incomplete separation of
oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood
3. Crocodiles and alligators
have a ventricle that is totally
separated into two pumping
chambers-4 chambers
39
Circulation
Double loop circulation
40
Transitional bird / reptile
 Archaeopteryx
41
Birds
42
Birds
 Adaptations:
******Flight******
 Feathers, wings,
hollow bones, no
teeth
 Amniotic Egg like
reptiles
43
Endothermy
 Endotherm (“warm-blooded”)
keeping a constant body
temperature
Pros
 Can be active even in colder biomes
 Can be active at night
(nocturnal predators)
Cons
 Requires lots of energy
(must find food often)
44
Hummingbirds
45
4 chamber heart
2 atria – 1 from body
(deoxygenated), 1
from lungs
(oxygenated)
2 ventricles – 1 pumps
to lungs , 1 pumps to
body
46
4 chamber heart
 Even more energy needed for cells
 Birds = energy for flight
 Mammals = energy for large brains
 NO mixture of blood in 4 chamber
heart
47
Another comparison
3 chamber heart
(mixing problem)
4 chamber heart
(no mixing problem)
48
Digestive and Excretory
system
 Food passes from the
mouth cavity straight
to the esophagus.
 The crop stores and
moistens food.
 Then passes through
the gizzard, a muscular
organ that kneads and
crushes the food
Respiratory System
 Air enters nostrils at base of
beakDown trachea past
song boxenters two primary
bronchiito lungs
 75% bypasses the lungs and
flows directly to posterior to
sacssacs connect with air
spaces in bones, filling the
hollow bones with air.
 When bird exhales the carbon
dioxide rich air from the
lungs, oxygen rich air is
forced out of the posterior air
sacs into lungs.

Egg-laying Mammals
Platypus
Echidna

53
Evolution and
Adaptations
Mammals belong
to the class
Mammalia,
which includes
4000 species
Most dominant
land animals on
earth.
54
Circulatory System
 Mammalian
heart has 4
chambers
 Mammals have a
muscle , the
diaphragm that
aids in lung
breathing
55
Two feature that distinguish
Mammals from other vertebrates
are that they all have hair and
mammary glands that produce
milk.
56
Mammal Orders
There are 19 orders of mammals in the
class Mammalia in which 17 nourish
unborn young in the placenta, egg
laying monotremes and marsupials
57
Marsupials
 Marsupials give birth to tiny
immature young that crawl to a
pouch on the mothers belly
immediately after they are born.
58
Characteristics of
Placental Mammals
 Placental mammals carry unborn young in the
uterus until young can survive in the wild.
 Oxygen and nutrients are transferred from
mother’s blood to baby’s blood
59
Placental Characteristics
 The placenta is a
membrane providing
nutrients and waste &
gas exchange between
the mother and
developing young
 Gestation period is the
time which mammals
develop in mother’s
uterus
60
Mammals
Hairy Saki-Monkey
 Also endothermic
 Hair helps to insulate, maintain internal
body temperature
Hairy Armadillo
Paraguaian Hairy 61
Dwarf Porcupine
Mammals
 Large brain size (learning / communicating)
 Challenge: time needed for brain development
 Solution: longer gestation period in mom and
intensive parental care early on (including milk
from mammary glands)
