SUMMARY OF LECTURE
▪Three classes of aquatic vertebrates
▪Class Cyclostoma
•Most primitive
•Eel like body

SUPERCLASS TETRAPODA
SUPERCLASS TETRAPODA
▪Appendages
•Two pairs
•Jointed
▪Developed from fish
▪Arrived on land
▪Includes four classes
•Class Amphibia
•Class Reptilia
•Class Aves
•Class Mammalia
LAND VERSUS WATER
▪Both are different
▪More oxygen in air
▪Salts dissolved in water
▪Drastic temperature changes
▪Places of shelter on land
▪More breeding places
▪Water provides more support
ADAPTATIONS TO LAND
▪Protection from dryness
•Hard skin
•Protection from sunlight
▪Protection of eggs
•Hard shell
•Mechanical injury
•Desiccation
•Stored food
ADAPTATIONS TO LAND
▪Absorption of O
2from air
•Lungs instead of gills
•Requires changes in circulatory system
▪Locomotion
•Fins replaced by legs
•Walking, running, flying, climbing
▪Sensory organs
•More advanced
•Highly specialized
CLASS
AMPHIBIA
ANAMNOITIC TETRAPODS
CLASS AMPHIBIA
▪Amphi= of both kinds; Bia= life

EVOLUTION OF AMPHIBIA
▪Evolved from fish
▪Devonian period
▪Called lobe-fin fish (Dipnoi)

•Produce poison
•Skin color (chromatophores)
•No scales
CLASS AMPHIBIA
▪Respiration

▪Better limbs
•Efficient locomotion
▪Dry scales on skin
•Protect from desiccation
▪Reproduction
•Copulatoryorgan
•Internal fertilization
•Large yolky eggs
•Amniotic egg
CLASS REPTILIA
▪Circulatory system
•Incompletely partitioned ventricle
•Completely partitioned in crocodiles
