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.
