protection

Slugs, and octopus.
Mollusca
G. Echinodermata
1. Spiny skin

3. Aquatic
4. O2 taken in through tiny gills
5. Radial symmetry; Water vascular
system for movement (suction cups)
6. Sea stars, sand dollars, sea
urchins.
Echinodermata
H. Arthropoda
1. Segmented bodies with jointed
appendages (legs)
2. organs & systems
3. terrestrial & aquatic
4. Get O2 through gills, book lungs,
trachea
5. Exoskeleton surrounding body
6. millipedes, centipedes, insects,
crustaceans, arachnids
Arthropods
5. Five Classes of Arthropods
a. Millipedes- Round + 2 leg pr/segment
b. Centipedes – Flat + 1 leg pr/segment
c. Crustaceans
1.) Aquatic with gills
2.) 2 pair of antenae
3.) Examples = Crayfish,
lobster, shrimp, and crabs.
d. Arachnida
1.) 2 body segments
2.) 4 pair of legs
3.) Examples = Ticks, mites, spiders
e. Insecta
1.) 3 body segments
2.) 3 pair of legs
3.) Some have wings
4.) Many go through metamorphosis
(a change in body form)
I. Phylum Chordata
1. nerve cord, gill slits, tail, and
notochord at some point
during development;
2. specialized organs & systems
3. Aquatic & terrestrial
4. Get O2 through gills or lungs
5. most have backbones
6. lamprey, fish, sharks, reptiles,
amphibians,, birds, mammals
Chordata
Vertebrates
Chapter 35
Subphylum Vertebrata
Key characteristics:
1. Vertebral column – Encloses and
protects the dorsal nerve cord
2. Head – sensory organs
3. internal organs
4. endoskeleton – makes possible great size
& movements
24
Subphylum Vertebrata
25
Subphylum Vertebrata
The first vertebrates appeared in the oceans
about half a billion years ago
-Jawed fishes soon became dominant
-Their descendants, the amphibians,
invaded the land
-Reptiles replaced them as the dominant
land vertebrates
-Gave rise to birds and mammals
26
Fishes
Fishes are the most diverse vertebrate group
-Over half of all vertebrates
Includes:
Agnatha - jawless fish
Chondrichthyes – sharks
Osteichthyes - bony fish
27
Fishes
Fishes have the following characteristics
1. Vertebral column
2. Jaws and paired appendages
3. Internal gills
4. Single-loop blood circulation
5. Nutritional deficiencies
28
Amphibians (Amphibia)
Amphibians are damp-skinned vertebrates
-First vertebrates to walk on land
29
Amphibians
Amphibians have several key characteristics
1. Legs
2. Lungs
3. Cutaneous respiration
4. Pulmonary veins
5. Partially divided heart
Includes frogs & toads, salamanders, caecilians30
History of Amphibians
Successful invasion of lands by vertebrates
required several adaptations
1. Legs to support body’s weight
2. Lungs to extract oxygen from air
3. Redesigned heart to drive larger muscles
4. Reproduction in H2O to prevent egg drying
5. System to prevent whole body desiccation
31
Modern Amphibians
32
Reptiles (Reptilia)
Reptiles dominated earth for 250 million years
key features
1. Amniotic eggs, which are watertight
2. Dry skin, which covers body and
prevents water loss
3. Thoracic breathing, which increases
lung capacity
4. ectothermic, cold-blooded
Includes turtles & tortoises, tuataras, lizards &
33
snakes, crocodiles & alligators
Modern Reptiles
34
35
Birds (Aves)
Birds are the most diverse of all land vertebrates
-28 orders, 166 families, about 8600 species
36
Birds
Birds still retain many reptilian traits
-Amniotic eggs and scales on legs
Two major traits distinguish them
1. Feathers
-Provide lift for flight and conserve heat
2. Flight skeleton
-Bones are thin and hollow
37
Adaptations providing energy for flight
1. Efficient respiration
-Air passes all the way through lungs in a
single direction
2. Efficient circulation
-Muscles receive fully oxygenated blood
-Rapid heartbeat
3. Endothermy
-Body temperature (40-42oC) permits
38
higher metabolic rate
Mammals (Mammalia)
There are about 4500 species of mammals
(class Mammalia)
-includes monotremes, marsupials, placentals
39
Mammals
Key characteristics:
1. Hair
-Insulation, camouflage, sensory structure
2. Mammary glands
-secrete milk
3. endothermic (warm-blooded)
-depends on more efficient circulatory
system
