Evolution of the Tetrapods
2
Evolution of the Tetrapods
3
The Origin of Tetrapods
The first vertebrates on land were amphibians in the _________(400 mya) Arose from the rhipidistian (a family of lobed finned fish) (based on morhpology) or a lungfish (DNA)
4
Origin of Tetrapods
5
Classification Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata
Superclass: Gnathostomata Class: Amphibia Order: Urodela (Salamanders) Order: Anurans (Frogs and Toads) Order: Apodans (Caecilians)
6
Class: Amphibia Two lives refers to metamorphosis of many frogs
Skin smooth and moist (cutaneous respiration) _____ chambered heart with a double circulation system
7
Order: Urodela 400 species Salamanders Retain their tail as adults
Limbs are at right angles to the body Carnivorous Most have internal fertilization using a _____________ Axolotl - paedomorphosis
8
Order: Anurans 3500 species Frogs and Toads Lose their tail as adults
Hind limbs are adapted for jumping Tongue connected to front of mouth Secrete mucus __________ Fertilization
9
Order: Apodans 150 species Caecilians Legless and blind
Mostly Tropical __________ Fertilization Usually give birth to live young.
10
Gas Exchange
11
Conditions for Respiratory Surfaces
Large surface area Thin Moist
12
Aquatic vs. Terrestrial
Less than ____% oxygen Oxygen amounts decrease as the temperature increases Aquatic animals use large amounts of energy to obtain oxygen (____%) About _____% oxygen Developed invaginations to increase surface area and decrease evaporation Terrestrial animals may use only 1% - 2% of its energy to obtain oxygen
13
Gills Found in echino-derms, mollusks, annelids, arthropods, some vertebrates Countercurrent Gas Exchange
14
Countercurrent Gas Exchange
Maintains gradient over the whole length of the capillaries Extracts ____% of the oxygen from the water
15
Tracheal Systems
16
Diffusion Lungs Found in invertebrates
Gas moved primarily by diffusion may be increased by body movement Modifications snails - cavity with gill modified into lung scorpions and spiders - invaginations of the abdomen
17
Ventilation Lungs Found in amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds
Pharynx Larynx Trachea Bronchi Bronchioles Alveoli
18
Alveoli
19
Ventilating The Lungs _______ Pressure Breathing
pushes air down trachea seen in frogs and other amphibians ________ Pressure Breathing suction created by diaphragm seen in mammals
20
Negative Pressure Breathing
21
Evolution of the _________ Egg
Allows animals to complete their entire life cycle on land Has shell that retains water (or is lost when kept inside mammals) Specialized extraembryonic membranes (not part of the animal)
22
The Amniotic Egg
23
Evolution of the Amniotic Egg
Amnion - Protects from dehydration and mechanical shock Yolk Sac - Nutrient storage Albumin (egg white) - Nutrient storage Allantois - stores waste, gas exchange Chorion - gas exchange *** Good Essay….
24
Amniotes
25
How Reptiles differ from Amphibians
Tough, dry skin Amniotic egg Crushing or gripping jaws Copulatory organs More efficient circulatory system with a higher blood pressure More developed lungs (thoracic breathing) Better water conservation Better body support and limbs Better nervous system
26
Classification Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata
Superclass: Gnathostomata Class: Reptilia (not real) Class: Testudines (Turtles and Tortoises) Class: Spenodontia (Tuataras) Class: Squamata (Lizards and Snakes) Class: Crocodilia (Crocodiles and Alligators)
27
Reptile Radiation Synapsids (therapsids) - led to mammals Sauropsids
_________ (turtles) _________ (all others)
28
Class: Testudines (Chelonia)
Protective Shell Carapace (top) Plastron (bottom) Land and Sea -Evolved on land and returned to water (lay eggs on land) Largest, Leatherback Sea Turtle (2,000 lbs!)
29
Class: Testudines (Chelonia)
No _____ Most move legs to breathe TDS (low:male high:female)
30
Class: Sphenodontia ___________ Two living species (New Zealand)
Not a True Lizard (no external ears, different teeth) Very Primitive (similar to mesozoic reptiles Well developed eye below skin?
31
Class: Squamata Lizards terrestrial, burrowing, aquatic, arboreal
geckos, iguanas, skinks, chameleons terrestrial, burrowing, aquatic, arboreal moveable eyelids (in most) Paired copulatory organs
32
Class: Squamata Tongue usually not bifurcated
Lower jaw loosely connected to skull TSD (female to male) ______________
33
Class: Squamata
34
Class: Squamata
35
Class: Squamata Gila Monster – One of three poisonous lizards
Protein in saliva studied to treat diabetes.
36
Class: Squamata Snakes Lack limbs Lack moveable eyelids
37
Class: Squamata Bifurcated tongue _________ organ
Pit Vipers (Loreal Pits)
38
Class: Squamata Venom Viperidae (Folding Fangs)
Rattlesnakes Elapidae (Fixed Front Fangs) Cobras, Sea Snakes, Coral Snakes neurotoxic hemotoxic
39
Class: Squamata
40
Feeding Adaptations Teeth curved and pointed inward
Hinged __________ bone Bones of jaw are attached by muscles and ligaments Moveable palate Elastic skin No sternum
41
Class: Crocodilia Largest living reptiles
Most closely related to dinosaurs Complete secondary ________ Four chambered heart (?) Nest temperature (female/male)
42
Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs
Ornithischian Saurischian Pterosaurs flying reptiles
43
Animal Structure and Function
(4th exam)
44
