dorsal hollow nerve chord
what was the dorsal hollow nerve chord before
ventral tubes
what was the first pharyngeal slit
ear canal
what forms jaws
pharyngeal slit and arches
what are the chordate sub groups
cephalochordates
urochordates
craniates
what are the cephalochordates characteristics
are cephalochordate vertebrates or invertebrates
invertebrates
are urochordates vertebrates or invertebrates
invertebrates
what is an example of a urochordates
tunicates
what are the craniates characteristics
have a skull
2 sets of hox genes
are craniates vertebrates or invertebrates
vertebrates except mixini
how do you differ species apart
look at the teeth
how do vertebrates split up
jaws and no jaws
what are the two vertebrate groups with no jaw called
fish known for first dental elements
conodonts
what do fish with jaws also have
fish have a lateral lined system series of canals filled with water and tube in epidermis that runs lateral
what are the vertebrate groups with jaws called
first fish with a jaw
gnathostomes
called armed fish (strongest bite)
placoderms
example sharks skates rays
Chondrichthyes
cartilaginous fish
Chondrichthyes
important feature of Chondrichthyes
ampullae of lorezini
what are ampullae of lorezini
cells then detect electrical impulses
what does the lateral line nerve do?
feel the pressure of the water and calculates the difference of water pressure to alert the fish of movement
bonyfish
Osteichthyes
what are the groups of Osteichthyes
ray finned fish
actinopterygii
lobed (wing) finned fish
sarcopterygii
first fish to have a swim bladder
actinopterygii
first fish to have a lung
Dipnoi
how to make a swim bladder a lung
what does actinopterygii dominate
open water
what does sarcopterygii dominate
coastal and wetland
what are lungs to fish
a derived trait

what to know about reptiles
what are the only two groups that are derived from amphibia
reptiles and mammals
what did reptiles give rise two
birds
what are reptiles scales made out of
keratin
what bone structure does reptiles have?
honey comb
endothermic
generating heat and losing it to the system
ectothermic
gaining heat from environment
homeothermic
maintaining consistent body temp
poikilothermic
fluctuates in body temp
what are the derived traits if mammals
milk and fur
what were the first mammals
Prototheria
first true mammals
Eutheria
what are the two mammal groups
Eutheria
Prototheria
