Vertebrates: Phylogenetic Tree

The document discusses various classes and sub-classes within the vertebrate and invertebrate categories, highlighting their unique structural and functional characteristics. Vertebrates are noted for their circulatory, digestive, and nervous systems, and some possess rigid body structures.

Vertebrates: Phylogenetic Tree

Vertebrates

Chordata

Mammalia

-They include marsupials and eutherians -They emerged from egg-laying monotremes
-They have hooves and an odd number of toes -They have a relatively simple digestive system
Perissodactyla
-They are herbivores -They are marsupials
Diprotodontia

Aves

-They have feathers, wings, and are bipedal -They have no teeth and lay eggs
-They are songbirds with long tails -They are slim with broad bills
Monarchidae

Reptilla

-They have amniotic eggs -They have a rib-cage ventilation system
-They have a bony or cartilaginous shell that developed from their ribs -They have a higher body temperature than surrounding water, because they have a high metabolic rate
Testudines
-They have rough scales -They are often poisonous
Squamata

Amphibia

-They have four limbs -Most have moist skin and live in both water and on land
-They have webbed digits (fingers and toes) -They are often semi-aquatic
Anura

Sarcopterygii

-They are bony fish with lobed fins -Each fin is a scaly stalk extending from the body
-Their skeleton is partly cartilaginous and partly bone -They have two incisors and dental plates on the upper and lower jaws
Ceratodontiformes
-They have eight fins -They move along currents and drifts
Coelacanthiformes

Actinoptergii

-They are aquatic gnathosomes -They have fins supported by rays
-Some appear to be square or triangular in appearance -They move slowly because their body structure is not flexible
Tetraodontiformes

Chondrichthyes

-They have a cartilaginous skeleton -They are aquatic gnathosomes
They have one or more venomous stingers near the tip of the tail -They are found in tropical to temperate marine waters
Dasyatoidea
-They have two dorsal fins -They have a nicitating membrane (transparent) over the eye
Carcharhiniforms

Petromyzontida

-They are jawless -They attach to living fish and ingest their blood
-They have no scales -They have a cartilaginous skeleton
Petromyzontiformes

Myxini

-They are jawless marine animals -They have a brain and eyes
-They are eel-shaped, smile producing animals -They have a skull, but no vertebral column
Myxiniformes

Ascidacea

-They have a ciruclatory, digestive, and nervous system -They have a rigid body structure
-They are an invasive species -Some undergo regeneration
Pleurogona

Leptocardii

-Classified as invertebrates and vertebrates -Have a backbone
-Have a translucent, fish-like body -Have no true skeleton
Amphioxiformes
