deuterostomes II: vertebrates Flashcards
chordata
urochordata (tunicates)
cephalochordata (amphioxus)
vertebrates
main rule of vertebrae
big size
key to growing larger of vertebrae
- closed blood system (oyxgen delivry through veins/arteries)
- vertebral column (skeletons); some are made of cartilage/dynamic bone to absorb mechanical pressures and locomotion
- sophisticated brain and sense organs
- protective skulls
sense organ developmetn in vertebrae
visual (paired eyes)
chemical (olfatory sense organs)
mechanical (deteching pressure)
brain ands skull region
neuralation
embryonic develpoment of neural crest and skulls to have protected head region
major mutaiton in vertbrae
doubling of genome of chordates to vetrbrates; results in great diveristy of genes
vetebrae backboned animal classifications (traditional)
fish ambhibians reptiles birds mammals
first vertabrae
fish like, without jaws
surviving jawless fish
lampreys and hafgihes
three evolutionary lineages from the jawless fish
- chondrichthyans
- actinoptergyians
- sacropterygians
chondrichythans
sharks with carligenous skeletons
actinopterygians
ray finned fish; most fish
sacropterygian
lobe finned fish; became tetrapods and coelacanths
strong skeletel structure in flesh fins
tetrapod
animal with 4 limbs; aphibians, reptiles, birdds, mammals
lampreys
- sucker lipe cup with sharp teeth to suck fish blood
- have tidal gills (water drawn in and explled)
- larvae have unidirectional flow of water through gills lits
- live in shallwo rivers and live on food in decaying matter; go through metaphorisis and migrate to sea
- lack paired fins
