Fish Anatomy Flashcards
Are fish warm blooded or cold blooded
cold
how many chambers do fish hearts have
2
T/F fish are not cranate vertebrates

KNOW ANATOMY OF FISH IN AND OUT
-
functional morphology
how body parts have evolved over time in order to be successful
KNOW RESPIRATION PROCESS OF FISH
-
higher temperature=
higher O2 consumption=metabolism + = hungrier
how are ions lost in fresh water fish
diffusion and urine
why do freshwater fish have smaller mouths
more of their water is water (not salt) therefore less water consumption = more favorable
lateral line
nerve and scilia that feel vibrations in the water
adaptation to swim with other fish / avoid predators
inner ear- otoliths
fluid sac in head attached to lateral line- feels vibrations
individual fitness
ability to contribute to the next gen and is manifested phenotype
3 things that need tradeoffs when living
growth reporiduction and matinence
energy budget
total energy of food consumed = energy in excresions + total change in energy value of body materials + total energy of metabolism
what is the master factor in fish
temperature
