How are vertebrates different from other chordates?
1. ENDOSKELETON: Vertebrae? (actually vertebrae are lacking in
hagfishes and rudimentary in lampreys)
2.
Cephalization: Cranium (all sense organs located towad anterior region
body)
3. Tripartite
4.
brain with associated complex, paired sense organs and cranial nerv
Chambered heart: CLOSED circulatory system
5. Alimentary canal (digestive system)
6. Specialized organ systems

Muscles
FXN:
causes body movement
maintains posture
produces body heat
Body Systems
• Skeletal
– Bones, cartilage,
ligaments
– Aids in movements
– Support
– Protects
– Produces blood cells
Body Systems
• Digestive System
– Mouth, tongue, teeth,
salivary glands,
esophogus, stomach,
liver, sm and lg
intestines
– Breakdown food and
absorbs nutrients
– Excretes waste
Body Systems
• Respiratory
– Lungs and nasal cavity,
bronchi
– Exchange gases
Body Systems
• circulatory
– Heart and blood
vessels
– Transports blood and
nutrients thru body
Body Systems
• Excretory/ urinary
– Kidneys, urinary
bladder, urethra
– Removes waste from
blood
– maintain water
balance
– eliminates urine
Body Systems
• Endocrine
– Pituitary glands,
pancreas thyroid,
adrenal gland
– Secrete hormones to
regulate metabolism
Body Systems
• Nervous
– Brain, spinal column,
sense organs
– Respond to stimuli
