Chapter 34 Flashcards
what are the four characteristics of a chordate
- dorsal hollow nerve cord
- notochord
- pharyngeal gill slits
- muscular post anal tail
______________________: runs along the length of the chordate (anterior to posterior) on the dorsal side. Eventually becomes the brain and spinal cord
-dorsal hollow nerve cord
-dorsal hollow nerve cord become the ______________ in vertebrates
brain and spinal cord
____________________: a flexible supporting rod that rubs the length of the chordate, between the dorsal hollow nerve cord and the digestive tract. Forms part of the vertebral column
notochord
the notochord forms part of the _________________ in vertebrates
vertebral column
_________________ slits in the pharynx that developed into gas openings for gas exchange. Only seen in embryonic development in terrestrial vertebrates
pharyngeal slits
pharyngeal slits only are seen during ______________f or terrestrial vertebrates
embryonic development
__________________________ tail posterior to the completion of the digestive tract (anus) only seen during embryonic development of apes
muscular post anal tail
muscular post anal tail only seen during ________________ in _________________
embryonic development
apes (including humans )
__________________ are sessile marine filter feeders. Little resemblance to other chordates as adults. But the larvae stage possess all four chordate characteristics.
tunicates
urochordata
the only of the 4 characteristics maintain in the adult form of a tunicate
gill slits
tunicates are
urochordata
_______________ are free swimming marine filter feeders. They exhibit all 4 characteristics throughout their life
lancelets
Cephalochordate
__________________ means jawless mouth
agathans
__________________ means jawed mouth
gnathostomes
_______________________ the earliest vertebrate group. Possess a skull but no vertebral column. Marine Savenger. Skull made of cartilage
hagfish myxioidea
a hag fish is a
myxioidea
myxioidea has a skull made of ______________
cartilage
myxioidea have a protective structure called a _________________
slime poors
_________________ the very first vertebrates to possess a vertebral column. The skull an vertebral column as still made of cartilage. They are aquatic and ectoparasite.
lampreys, petromyzotoidea
lampreys are ______________________
petromyzotoidea
___________________ suck the blood of other fish
ectoparasites
the skull and vertebral column are still made of __________________ in petromyzotoidea
cartilage
_________________________________ the skull of vertebral column are still made of cartilage. The first vertebrates to possess jaws. Also possess appendages
cartilaginous fishes, chondrichthyes
______________ are first derived from ________________ of the cartilaginous fish jawless ancestors
jaws
gil slits
the first appendages in chondrichthyes
-two pectoral and two pelvic fins for swimming
________________ only had ___________________________
a single dorsal fin and a single ventral fin
cartilaginous fish include: (2)
- sharks: active predators
- rays: predaceous grazers
cartilaginous are mostly ___________________ with few ____________
marine
freshwater
__________________________ the largest vertebrates group. Half of all vertebrates. marine and freshwater. the first vertebrates to possess a skull and vertebral column with calcium salt
ray finned fish actinopterygii
ray finned fish are __________________________
actinopterygii
_____________________ mineralized skelton of calcium salts
bone
