Chapter 34: Chordates Flashcards
What is the common ancestor of chordates?
an ancestral deuterostome
T/F Chordates are entirely vertebrates
False. Vertebrates are a sub-category of chordates
a cartilaginous skeletal rod supporting the body in all embryonic and some adult chordate animals.
notochord
T/F do sharks have a vertebrae?
Yes, but the vertebrae is made of cartialage.
When you hear “fish,” you think:
Actinopterygii
T/F Fish have lungs or lung derivatives but sharks do not
True
What separates Amphibia from fish (Actinopterygii)?
Amphibia have limbs with digits
What similarity do Mammals, Reptiles, and Amphibia share?
limbs with digits
What is similar between reptile and mammal?
each have amniotic eggs
What do Repitlia and Mammalia share that Amphibia does not share with them?
Amniotic egg
What class are Amphibia, Repitlia, and Mammalia? What class are Reptilia and Mammalia, alone?
Tetrapods: R, M, A
Amniotes: R, M
PARTS Muscle segments Notochord Muscular post-anal tail Pharyngeal slits or clefts Mouth Brain Dorsal, hollow nerve cord
Phylum Chordata
Know
What anatomical part is unique to Phylum Chordate?
Notochord
What is the key feature of Cephalochordata (Su-phylum Chordate)
You see the development of the head (pre)
The first sub-phylum to have notochord throughout life
Cephalochordata
By seeing a picture, recognize what the Sub-phylum Cephalochordata is: know vertebrae, notochord, etc.
etc.
What is different about the sub-phylem Urochordata? (Chordates)
Notochord is gone in adult
Tunicates and Sea Squirts
Notochord confined to tail
Free swimming larvae have chordate char. adult lack most of them
Chordate: Sub-phylum UROCHORDATA
CRANIATES
consists of bilateral bands of cells near the margins of the embryonic folds that form the neural tube
neural crest
CRANIATES
give rise to some of the anatomical structures unique to vertebrates, including some of the bones and cartilage of the skull
