This document provides information about vertebrates. It discusses the five main groups of vertebrates - fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. All vertebrates have an endoskeleton, head, trunk, and some have a tail. They also have articulated limbs, a well-developed nervous system, and bilateral symmetry. The document contrasts exothermic and endothermic animals and provides examples from different vertebrate groups. It provides details on characteristics of different vertebrate groups like fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Examples are given for different types of animals and there are questions provided for students.

4. Vertebrates. How many groups
are there?
• Fish
• Amphibians
• Reptiles
• Birds
• Mammals
5. ALL VERTEBRATES
HAVE
• ENDOSKELETON with a BACKBONE
• HEAD, TRUNK AND some with a TAIL
• ARTICULATED LIMBS
• WELL-DEVELOPED NERVOUS SYSTEM
• BILATERAL SYMMETRY
7. Sustituir en el libro
• Donde pone:
–Homeothermal/ Warm-blooded
escribir ENDOTHERMIC
–Poikilotherms/Cold-blooded
escribir EXOTHERMIC
8. EXOTHERMIC ANIMALS
• Obtienen el calor del medio externo
• NO Tienen distintos mecanismo para
estabilizar su temperatura.
• Regulan temperatura por medio del
comportamiento. Ej. Lagartos
• Fish, amphibians, reptiles
9. ENDOTHERMIC ANIMALS
• Capaces producir calor por si mismos.
• No dependen del medio externo
• Tienen un mecanismo interno de
regulación de la temperatura corporal
• Birds, mammals
13. Huevo amniótico (Amniotic egg)
• Protegido por una cáscara
• Rodeado por varias membranas
• Permite intercambio de gases
• Evita la pérdida de agua
• Independencia del medio acuático
• Presente en REPTILES Y AVES.
15. FISH
• Are they terrestrial or aquatic?
• Do they live in salty or fresh water?
• What are their main characteristics?
– They have:
• SCALES
• FINS
• GILLS
• A fusiform body, they are wider in the middle that at the
ends.
• LATERAL LINE SYSTEM, a sensory organ that detects
vibrations.
– Endothermic or exothermic?
16. Groups of fish
• Two groups:
– CARTILAGINOUS FISH. The skeleton is
made of cartilage
• EXAMPLES?
– Sharks , rays
– BONY FISH. The skeleton is made of bone
• Carp, salmon, trout, cod, hake
17. • Go to page 76 in your book. Identify the main
differences between cartilaginous and bony fish.
Cartilaginous fish Bony fish
Gills without operculum Gills with an operculum
protecting them
Cartilaginous skeleton Bony skeleton
Caudal fin divided in two
halves of different sizes
Caudal fin divided in two
equal halves
Without scales, small
denticles
With scales
18. • Bony fish, oviparous, external fertilisation.
– With a swim bladder
• Cartilaginous fish, sharks can be
oviparous or ovoviviparous and fertilisation
takes places internally.
– Without a swim bladder

• Are they independent from water?
• What means their name?
• What are amphibians like?
– 4 limbs
– Webbed feet
– Moist skin with no covering (no scales)
– Undergo metamorphosis
– Exothermic
– Oviparous
