The Vertebrates
Outline
Chordates
Non-vertebrate Chordates
Vertebrates
- Fishes
- Amphibians
- Reptiles
- Birds
- Mammals

The Vertebrates
Chordates
Phylum Chordata
Four Main Characteristics
- Notochord
- Nerve Cord
- Pharyngeal Pouches
- Tail
4
The Vertebrates
Invertebrate Chordates
Notochord persists and is never replaced by a
vertebral column
Lancets (Subphylum Cephalochordata)
Sea Squirts (Subphylum Urochordata)

Sea squirt, Halocynthia

The Vertebrates
Vertebrates
Subphylum Vertebrata
Internal jointed skeleton of vertebrates is living
tissue that grows with the animal
Main axis of skeleton consists of vertebral
columns and a skull that encloses the brain
- Cephalization is accompanied by sense organs
- Evolution of jaws and predation
- Amnion allows reproduction on land

Phylogenetic Tree of the Chordates

The Vertebrates
Vertebrate Features
Living endoskeleton with vertebral column
Closed circulatory system
Paired appendages
Efficient respiration and excretion
High degree of cephalization
Adapted to active lifestyles

Fishes
Fishes:
Aquatic, gill-breathing vertebrates
Usually have fins and scale-covered skin
Jawless fishes (Superclass Agnatha)
Ostracoderms - earliest vertebrate fossils
Lampreys and hagfishes are modern-day jawless
fishes that lack a bony skeleton
Lamprey, Petromyzon
11
The Vertebrates
12
Fishes With Jaws
Gnathostomates have jaws
Jaws thought to have evolved from first pair of
gill arches of agnathans
Placoderms
- Extinct jawed fishes of Devonian
- Thought to be ancestral to sharks and bony fish
The Vertebrates
13
Cartilaginous Fishes
Class Chondrichthyes have a skeleton of
cartilage instead of bone
Cartilaginous Fishes
- Sharks, rays, skates
- Lack gill cover of bony fish
- Utilize lateral line system
- Filter feeders and predators
- Pectoral fins can be enlarged into large, wing-like
fins
Cartilaginous fishes
14
The Vertebrates
15
Bony Fishes
Class Osteichthyes have a skeleton of bone
Most are ray-finned fishes
- Lobe-finned fishes are small subgroup with fleshy
fins supported by central bones
Swim bladder
- Gas-filled sac in bony fishes
- Volume can be altered to change buoyancy
Ray-finned Fishes
16
The Vertebrates
Amphibians
Tetrapods (four limbs)
Hypotheses of tetrapod evolution
Lobe-finned fishes had an evolutionary
advantage due to movement capability
further adaptations promoted by:
- Supply of food on land, and
- Absence of predators
17
Lobe-finned Fish vs. Amphibian
18
The Vertebrates
Diversity of Amphibians
Amphibians today occur in three groups:
Salamanders and newts
- Salamanders practice internal fertilization
Frogs and toads
- Tailless
Caecilians
- Legless, sightless, worm-shaped
Most return to water for reproduction
19
Amphibians
20
The Vertebrates
Amphibian Features
Usually tetrapods
Lungs usually present in adults
Metamorphosis
Smooth and moist skin
Three-chambered heart
Ectothermic

The Vertebrates
24
Reptiles
Class Reptilia
Thought to have evolved from amphibian
ancestors by the Permian period
Practice internal fertilization
Lay eggs protected by a leathery shell (amniotic
egg)
Phylogenetic Tree of Reptiles
25
The Vertebrates
Anatomy and Physiology of Reptiles
Reptiles have a thick, scaly skin that is
keratinized and impermeable to water
Usually tetrapods
Lungs with expandable rib cage
Shelled amniotic egg
Dry, scaly skin
Ectothermic

Birds
Characteristics of Class Aves
Feathers
Hard-shelled amniotic egg
Four-chambered heart
Often winged
Air sacs
Endothermic

The Vertebrates

Mammals
Class Mammalia
Thought to have evolved during the Mesozoic Era from
therapsids
Mammalian skull accommodates a larger brain relative to
body size
Chief characteristics and hair and milk-producing
mammary glands
Infant dependency
Internal development
Differentiated teeth
Monotremes and Marsupials
33
The Vertebrates
34
Mammals
Monotremes - Hard-shelled amniotic eggs
Marsupials - Females contain pouch
Placentals - Females have organ for exchange of
maternal and placental blood
Placental Mammals
