Study Notes
Vertebrate Animals
- Vertebrates are animals with a backbone.
- Chordates are a group of animals that have a notochord at some point during their development.
- Chordates have four key characteristics.
- Notochord: a flexible rod-like structure that provides support.
- Dorsal hollow nerve cord: a tube-like structure that develops into the brain and spinal cord.
- Pharyngeal slits: openings in the throat region that may function in feeding or respiration.
- Post-anal tail: a tail that extends beyond the anus.
- Chordates have three groups: -Urochordates (tunicates), -Cephalochordates (lancelets), -Vertebrates.
Chordate Characteristics
- Deuterostome development: developmental pattern.
- Triploblastic: having three germ layers. Bilateral symmetry: having a left and right side.
- True tissues. Body cavity, coelom.
Chordates: Tuncates (Urochordata)
- Sessile marine filter feeders.
- Little resemblance to other chordates as adults.
- Larval stage displays four chordate characteristics.
Chordates: Lancelets (Cephalochordata)
- Free-swimming marine filter feeders.
- All four chordate characteristics are present in the larvae and adults.
Vertebrates: Myxinoidea (Hagfish)
- The earliest vertebrate group.
- Possess a skull but not a vertebral column.
- Skull and vertebral column are made of cartilage.
- Marine scavengers.
Vertebrates: Petromyzontida (Lampreys)
- First vertebrates to possess a vertebral column.
- Skull and vertebral column are made of cartilage.
- Aquatic (marine/freshwater) ectoparasites.
Vertebrates: Chondrichthyes (Cartilaginous Fishes)
- Cartilaginous skeleton.
- Skull and vertebral column are made of cartilage.
- First vertebrates to possess jaws (derived from the third gill arches.)
- Paired pectoral and pelvic fins for more efficient swimming.
- Jawless fishes have only dorsal and caudal fins.
- Includes sharks and rays. Mostly marine, few freshwater.
Vertebrates: Actinopterygii (Ray-Finned Fishes)
- Largest vertebrate group.
- Half of all vertebrates are ray-finned fishes.
- Marine and freshwater.
- First vertebrates with a mineralized vertebral column (calcium phosphate salts).
- Operculum (a bony flap) covers the gills.
- Swim bladder for buoyancy control.
- Cartilaginous fishes sink if they stop swimming.
Vertebrates: Sarcopterygii (Lobe-Finned Fishes)
- Pectoral and pelvic fins are more fleshy.
- Transition from aquatic to terrestrial (lobe-finned fishes).
- Includes coelacanths and lungfishes.
- Coelacanths - marine.
- Lungfishes - freshwater.
- Gills and lungs are both present.
Vertebrates: Amphibia (Frogs and Salamanders)
- The first terrestrial vertebrates.
- Four limbs evolved from paired fins.
- Limbs were derived from the paired pectoral and pelvic fins of an amphibian’s aquatic ancestors.
- Amphibians are still constrained to water to prevent desiccation.
- Lay eggs in water.
- Larvae develop in water, metamorphosis into terrestrial adults.
- Skin needs to be kept relatively wet for sufficient gas exchange.
- Lungs are still primitive.
Vertebrates: Reptilia (Reptiles)
- Amniotes (reptiles, birds, and mammals).
- Produce amniotic eggs; no longer need water for reproduction.
- Outer shell and inner membranes protect the embryo.
- Reptiles have scales composed of keratin, protecting them from desiccation.
- Reptiles that still live in water have similar scales to those who live on land.
- Have fully developed lungs.
- Include turtles, lizards, snakes, and crocodiles.
Vertebrates: Aves (Birds)
- Reptiles modified for flight.
- Forelimbs modified into wings. Feathers are modified scales.
- Sternum is modified into a keel, for attachment of flight muscles.
- Lightweight, hollow bones.
- Endothermic (generate their own body heat).
Vertebrates: Mammalia (Mammals)
- Produce milk to nourish young (mammary glands).
- Hair for insulation.
- Most have three groups:
- Monotremes (lay eggs).
- Marsupials (pouch).
- Eutherians (placental).
Vertebrates: Primates
- Adapted for arboreal (tree-dwelling) lifestyles.
- Flexible shoulder joints for brachiation (swinging).
- Prehensile limbs (hands and feet).
- Opposable thumbs in anthropoids (increased dexterity).
- Close-set eyes for depth perception).
- Complex social behavior, extended parental care.
- include lemurs, tarsiers, monkeys, apes, and humans.
