nerve
Flatworms also have nerve cords.
pharyngeal
slits - inner ear.
notochord
Nerve cord not shown, next diagram shows spinal cord.
craniate
Cranium not in invert. heads! Neural tube ->
CNS (nerve cord?)
chondrichthyes
Cartilage chondrocytes -> collagen; between bones, rib cage, ear, nose. Paired fins -> tetrapods?
osteichthyes
BBC-BluePlanet/3.5_SeasonalSeas/#32:40
herring bait ball hunted to last OR 44:20
lungfish
But swim bladders may have evolved from lungs?
lobe-finned
Flattened head like croc.
PBS-Evolution/2.2_change/#22:50
Acanthostega forelimb with fingers
tetrapods
Devonian-Carboniferous 300-400 MYA
amphibia
Poison arrow frog.
amniotes
Turtles anapsids? Parareptiles early, extinct; 2 Tuatara species NZ islands extirpated by rats.
amniotic
allantois also exchanges gases.
birds
BBC-Galapagos/#40:20
Waved Albatross mating ritual
CHICKEN furcula=fused clavicles. Ratite: Ostrich, Kiwi, S. American rheas.
snake
Males use spurs for courtship and fighting.
turtle
Vertebrae and ribs fused to the carapace; shoulders within ribcage.
mammalia
Expand this.
monotreme
Short-beaked echidna.
marsupial
BBC-LifeOfMammals/1.1_AWinningDesign/#7:25
Echidna 11:00 Platypus 21:00 Kangaroo joey
monkeys
NW: squirrel monkey, capuchin. OW: mandrill, baboon, rhesus.
bipedal
Not truly bipedal like drawing!

NOVA
Ochre=earth pigment: iron oxide; Blombos Cave.
homo_habilis
Brain 700-900cc, vs. 400 Australopithecus; 1200 human; rudolfensis contemporary w habilis.
===
- dorsal (top)/ventral (bottom)
- pharynx: upper section of alimentary canal from mouth. nasal cavities to larynx.
- Some tunicate shoot water through excurrent siphon when attacked: “sea squirts".
- Coccyx
3-5 vertebrae.
- Cloacal membrane
separates endoderm from ectoderm.
Mesenchyme wedge (uro-rectal septum) migrates caudally to divide the cloaca into dorsal uro-genital system and ventral ano-rectal system.
- Genital tubercle
-> phallus (penis, clitoris).
- Cartilage
connective tissue composed of chondrocytes, dispersed in a firm gel-like ground substance, no blood vessels,
not mineralized,
more flexible/resilient than bone: in rib cage, ear, nose, throat, between intervertebral disks.
- Hagfish
horizontally moving structures with toothlike projections, enter living and dead fish, feed on insides.
Form knot and slide towards mouth, pull mouth off, scrape slime off.
- Lorenzini
detect electric and magnetic fields from muscle contractions (in sand), navigation.
Protective Oceanic Device uses electricity to repel sharks.
Color vision
better than cats.
Pit organ:
gustation (taste).
No swim bladder:
oily liver aids buoyancy, must swim constantly or sink. No gill covers: water must continually flow. Cannot stop or swom backward.
- Most sharks ovoviviparous: hatch in uterus, some oviparous, viviparous - nutrients through placenta (from yolk sac,
not amnion and chorion).
- Some rays like Southern Atlantic Stingray
tail with venomous spines + barbs. Like most sharks (except sandy dogfish?): give birth to live young.
Ampullae of Lorenzini
detect crustacea and mollusca; cannot see prey.
Manta Ray
cephalic lobes push plankton into mouth, reduce drag, teeth for courtship and mating.
Manta Ray
no spine, Remoras like sharks.
- Dipnoi
lungfish modified
swim bladder:
gas gland excretes lactic acid; hemoglobin loses oxygen, which diffuse into bladder.
Periophthalmus (mudskipper) goby
structural modifications in skin and gill chambers.
- Bird scales:
scutes (similar to crocodilian), scutellae, reticulae (identical to crocodilian).
- Diapsids: lepidosaurs (lizards, snakes), archosaurs (crocodilians, pterosaurs dinosaurs)
Squamata: snakes (from lizards - most diverse reptile other than birds)
- Eastern Box Turtle:
shoulders and pelvic bones within ribcage.
- Niche: particular area within a habitat occupied by an organism.
