Characteristics of Reptiles Chapter 29 Reptiles and Birds 29.1 Reptiles Characteristics of Reptiles Reptiles are fully adapted to life on land. Characteristics that allow reptiles to succeed on land include a shelled egg, scaly skin, and more efficient circulatory and respiratory systems.

The amnion is a membrane that surrounds a developing embryo. Chapter 29 Reptiles and Birds 29.1 Reptiles Amniotic Eggs The amnion is a membrane that surrounds a developing embryo. An amniotic egg is covered with a protective shell and has several internal membranes. The leathery shell protects the internal fluids and embryo.

Dry skin keeps reptiles from losing internal fluids to the air. Chapter 29 Reptiles and Birds 29.1 Reptiles Dry, Scaly Skin Dry skin keeps reptiles from losing internal fluids to the air. A layer of external scales keeps reptiles from drying out. Some reptiles, like snakes, must shed their skins to grow.

Most reptiles are carnivores, but some are herbivores. Chapter 29 Reptiles and Birds 29.1 Reptiles Feeding and Digestion Most reptiles are carnivores, but some are herbivores. To make it easier to swallow prey whole, snakes have loosely jointed jaws that can spread apart to take in their food.

Kidneys filter the blood to remove waste products. Chapter 29 Reptiles and Birds 29.1 Reptiles Excretion Kidneys filter the blood to remove waste products. Water reabsorption enables reptiles to conserve water and maintain homeostasis in their bodies.

Vision is the main sense in most reptiles. Chapter 29 Reptiles and Birds 29.1 Reptiles The Brain and Senses Vision is the main sense in most reptiles. Some reptiles have tympanic membranes and others detect vibrations through their jaw bones. In snakes, Jacobson’s organs in the mouth are used to sense odors.

Chapter 29 Reptiles and Birds 29.1 Reptiles Temperature Control Reptiles are ectotherms and regulate their body temperatures by basking in the sun for warmth or burrowing in the ground to cool off.

Reptiles have internal fertilization. Chapter 29 Reptiles and Birds 29.1 Reptiles Reproduction Reptiles have internal fertilization. After fertilization, the egg develops to form the new embryo and an amniotic egg. Most reptile eggs are buried and the sun incubates them. After laying their eggs, most females leave them alone to hatch.

Lizards have legs with clawed toes. Chapter 29 Reptiles and Birds 29.1 Reptiles Lizards and Snakes Lizards have legs with clawed toes. Lizards usually have moveable eyelids, a lower jaw with a moveable hinge joint, and tympanic membranes.

Snakes are legless and have shorter tails than lizards. Chapter 29 Reptiles and Birds 29.1 Reptiles Snakes are legless and have shorter tails than lizards. Snakes lack moveable eyelids and tympanic membranes. Like lizards, snakes have loosely-jointed jaws, and some snakes have venomous fangs.

A protective shell encases a turtle’s body. Chapter 29 Reptiles and Birds 29.1 Reptiles Turtles A protective shell encases a turtle’s body. The dorsal part of the shell is the carapace. The ventral part of the shell is the plastron. Many turtles can pull their head and legs inside their shells for protection from predators.

Crocodiles and Alligators Chapter 29 Reptiles and Birds 29.1 Reptiles Crocodiles and Alligators Crocodilians have a four-chambered heart which delivers oxygen more efficiently. Crocodiles have a long snout, sharp teeth, and powerful jaws. Alligators generally have a broader snout than crocodiles.

Tuataras have two rows of teeth on the upper jaw. Chapter 29 Reptiles and Birds 29.1 Reptiles Tuataras Tuataras look like large lizards and are found on the islands off the coast of New Zealand. Tuataras have a “third eye” located on the top of their heads that can detect sunlight. Tuataras have two rows of teeth on the upper jaw.
