Emergence of the Animal Kingdom

Emergence of the Animal Kingdom

Or “Rise of the Chordates”

Phylum Chordata

Leading to

Subphylum Vertebrata 

Chordates include the following:

Chordates include the following:

Fish

Reptiles

Amphibians

Birds

Mammals

Chordates

4 characteristics

notochord - support

post-anal tail

Tunicates are Chordates!

Tunicates are Chordates!

Sea Squirts

sponge like - filter feeder

larva free swimming, bilateral with all Chordate traits

Slide 7

Lancets (a primitive fish like organism) closely resembles the idealized chordate.

Lancets (a primitive fish like organism) closely resembles the idealized chordate.

The notochord, dorsal nerve cord, numerous gill slits, and post-anal tail all persist in the adult

Chp 33 – Rise of the Mammals

Chp 33 – Rise of the Mammals

Definition of a Mammal:

Homoeothermic – meaning that mammals produce their own body heat

Mammary tissue - for the production of Milk

Hair Follicles - for the production of Hair

Generally, internal fertilization and harboring of young, however, this is only a generality because not all young are “cooked” to term internally.

Slide 11

Monotremes – an Order of Class Mammalia

Monotremes – an Order of Class Mammalia

Monotremes

eg. The Platypus, which has a BILL, lays EGGS, but still has mammary glands and produces MILK for young. This suggests a relationship between REPTILES, BIRDS and mammals. Imagine that?

Slide 12

Marsupials

Marsupials

– eg. The Kangaroo, which is a non-placental mammal. Here, the development of the young is very complex, and a baby kangaroo is born very “uncooked”, and must crawl into the mother’s pouch and latch onto a nipple to receive milk to continue development. You might say, baby Kangaroos or “Joey’s” get a womb with a view 
