BIO EXAM 3 LEC 15 Flashcards
Chordate Characteristics
Presence of a notochord–rod
of stiffened, but flexible, helps support the body
2 The nerve cord runs parallel with the notochord and gut, anterior
end develops into the brain
3) Gill slits penetrate the wall of gill slits penetrate the wall of a
pharynx
4) Tail extends past an anus
least
most chordates are
coelomate, bilateral
animals
all chordate characteristics are present during
embryo stage
UROCHORDATA
Invertebrates
CEPHALOCHORDATA
invertabrates
VETEBRATA
Vertebral column
evolves from primitive
notochord, composed of ind.
vertebral bones separated by
disks (ligaments)
chordate sub phylum
urochordata, Cephalochordata, vertabrata
THE UROCHORDATES
– Sea squirts
(tunicates
urochordata type of swoimmers
Larvae are bilateral swimmers! Display all
urochordata adulkts display
reversal
urochordata have a jelly like
tunic aroiund pharynx
urochordata size
most only a few cm long
urochordata live
Live in a wide range of aquatic habitats
urochordata are what kind of feeders
Filter feeders
filter feeders
– siphon, gill slits, out another
pharynx is a
respiratory organ
Cephalochordata size
Only 3 to 7cm long
Cephalochordata body displays
all chordate features throughout life
Cephalochordata have a
head and a simple brain, includes neurons
Cephalochordata have segmented
muscles
cephalachordata are what kinbd of feeders?
filter feeders
cephalachordata
Lancelet
Lancelet
closest relative to Sub-Phylum “Vertebrata
vertabrata pharynx completely shifts to
gas exchange
vertabrata eccessory digestive organs
liver, pancrea
vertabrata what kind of heart
chambered
vertabrata have a tripartite brain meaning they have what parts?
forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain
vertabrata have what kind of sensroy structured
advanced
vertabrata have hemoglobin which has an
affinity for oxygen in red blood cells
vertabrata has these 2 things K.ES
kidney, and endocrine system
vertebrata has 2 classes
myxini(hagfish), Petromyzontida (lamprey)
hagfish introduces
cranium
cranium protects brain
cartilage
lamprey introduces
vertebral column
hagfish eyesight
blind
hagfish have
low metabolic rates, jawless, sensory tentacles
hagfish defense
slime and lot of extra skin
lamprey characteristics
parastitic
small cerebellum
vertebral column
eyes
in great lakes
lamprey life cycle
male and female make crescent shape and nest.
make larvae
larvae burrow themselves for 3-5 years and become adult lampreys
lamprey feed on fish
lamprey go upstream to reproduce
