Lecture 10.1/10.2 More Deuterostomes Flashcards
What clades are considered Deuterostomes ?
- Hemichordata
- Echinodermata
- Chordata
What is the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates?
Invertebrates do not have a backbone
Characteristics of Vertebrates?
- Spinal Column
- skull with brain
- well-developed circulatory system w/ ventral heart
Agnathan clade?
- considered a vertebrate
- but split off before the evolution of jaws and mineralized skeleton
NO JAW or mineralized skeleton
- A- without*
- gnath-jaws*
- stome-mouth*
Gnathostomes?
Has Jaw & Bones
gnath-jaws
stome- mouth
Examples of Agnathans?
Lamprey
Hagfish
Gnathostomes three major clades?
Chondrichthyes- sharks and rays
Actinopterygii- ray-finned fishes
Sarcopterygii- tetrapods like us, humans
Fact about the common ancestor of Actinoterygii & Sarcopterygii?
Evolved outgrowths of gut(sacs) that could be filled with air
- lungs evolved for sarcopterygii
-
swim bladders evolved for actinopterygii
- can be filled with air or water to help fish swim up or down
What fish was found in 1938?
Coelocanths

Example of lobe-fins?
Lung fish (sarcopterygii)
Tetrapods meaning?
tetra- four
pod- foot
Who are the tetrapods?
- Amphibia
- Amphi = both kinds (two life stages)
- aquatic, amphibious, or terrestrial
- aquatic larvae
- Amphi = both kinds (two life stages)
- Reptilia
- Mammalia
What are the three clades of Amphibians?
- Caudata
- Salamander
- Anurans
- frogs & toads
- anura = no tail
- Caecilians
- Legless
- develop in soil and near water
What is the sister clade of Amniotes?
Reptiles and Mammals
Invertebrate Chordates?
Cephalochordata
Urochordata
Jawless Vertebrates?
Agnathans
includes the hagfish and lamprey

Jawed Vertebrates?
Gnathostomes
includes the
Chondrichthyes
Actinoptergyii
Sarcopterygii
Tetrapods

Amniotes?
Synapamorphy was eggs and milk includes the :
- Raptilia
- Mammalia
Evolved key adaptations to live on land
Amniotes are within what clade?
Tetrapods
Amnoitic egg has four extraembryonic memebranes
_____, ________,_________
- Amnion protects embryo from sudden movement
- Yolk sac encloses nutrient for developing embryo
- Chorion and Allantois enhance gas exchange & excretion of waste
What is another form of adabtation to dry habitats?
Tough, dry skin
What are the reptile synapomorphy?
Scales or feathers made of Kertain
Difference between oviparous and ovoviviparous
oviparous- amniotic eggs on land
ovoviviparous- female retaind egg, gives birth to juveniles
Thermoregulation?
cannot regulate body tempature (echothermic)
Therefore they need to absorb heat from the enviornement
