Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
Chordates with a backbone   Vertebrates  
🗑
Named for individual segments   Vertebrates  
🗑
Vertebrae form central axis for muscle attachment and protects the   dorsal nerve cord  
🗑
How do fish breath   open and closing his mouth  
🗑
thin sheet of tissue that increases the surface area available for oxygen the gills hang like a curtain from the mouth to the cheeks   Fish gills  
🗑
opening of the cheek at the rear cavity   Fish gill slits  
🗑
The process of fish breathing   the fish swallows the water and that forces the water in the mouth over the gills and then out the gill slits  
🗑
water flows in one direction combined with the specific arrangement of gill tissue permits from the countercurrent flow which is very efficient way of extracting oxygen up to 85 percent of available oxygen is extracted from the water   countercurrent flow  
🗑
Air vs water   air contains about 20 times as much water as sea water yet the gill can not take in oxygen from the air  
🗑
bag like repertory organ that allows gas exchange between the air and the blood   Amphibians lungs  
🗑
the amount of oxygen a lung can absorb can depend on his internal surface area increase surface area in the amount of oxygen can be absorbed you there fore the interior surface is highly folded   Surface area  
🗑
so they can obtain oxygen   Moist skin  
🗑
Greater metabolic demand of oxygen since they are more active   Reptiles  
🗑
Enlarged surface area of the lung available for diffusion   reptile  
🗑
they are small chambers that are clustered together like grapes   Alveoli  
🗑
Greater demand for oxygen –since we maintain constant body temp   Mammals  
🗑
Have 300 million alveoli in there lungs   Mammals  
🗑
get enough oxygen by 1 way air flow made possible by the evolution of a series of ____ _____connected to the birds lungs   air sacs  
🗑
What are the 2 advantages of a birds   - No oxygen poor air left in lungs the lungs are exposed only to fully oxygenated air - Flow of blood in lungs runs in different direction to the flow of air therefore blood contains more oxygen than exhaled air  
🗑
delivers oxygen to and removes carbon dioxide from the bodies tissue   Circulatory system  
🗑
What are the 2 basic features   - heart - network of vessels  
🗑
through blood can circulate   Network of vessels  
🗑
pumps the blood   Heart  
🗑
In a fish how is the blood pumped to the gills   The blood is pumped first through Gills->to the rest of the body therefore the blood deliver to the tissues is fully oxygenated  
🗑
Why is the blood slushy   due to after passing through the tiny blood vessels from the gills the flow of the blood lose much of force of the blood from the heart  
🗑
Why can the blood not be delivered quickly enough   circulation is sluggish  
🗑
Top half of the heart   Atrium  
🗑
Bottom half of the heart   Ventricles  
🗑
What separates to atrium into left and right halves   Septum  
🗑
What is the advantage of being an amphibian   the oxygenated blood is pumped to the muscles that have higher pressure  
🗑
What is a disadvantage of being an amphibian   the oxygen blood is still mixed with deoxygenated blood since there is no septum in the ventricle therefore the heart pumps out a mix of oxygen rich and oxygen poor blood  
🗑
Incomplete separation of ventricle but they still have mixing of the blood   Reptile  
🗑
What 3 animals have a 4 chambered heart   Mammals, Birds and Crocodiles  
🗑
What 3 animals have a Completely separated ventricles and the blood is pumped to tissues and they are fully oxygenated   Mammals, Birds and Crocodiles  
🗑
we lose water about 2/3 of our vertebras are water   dehydration  
🗑
they lose water my osmoses in salty water in which they swim to make up for that water lose the fish drinks lots of water but the water contains salt   marine fish  
🗑
they have more salt in there body that the surrounded water so the fish needs to avoid taking in to much water and losing to much salt through osmosis   freshwater fish  
🗑
How can the freshwater fish avoid water by taking in salt   they have more salt in there body that the surrounded water so the fish needs to avoid taking in to much water and losing to much salt through osmosis solution: kidney; nephon  
🗑
regulate the salt and water balance and remove metabolic waste from the blood   kidney  
🗑
kidneys are made up of thousands of disposal of units called   nephrons  
🗑
filter out the metabolic waste which is passed out through the urine   nephrons  
🗑
are made up of thousands of disposal of units called nephrons the nephron filter out the metabolic waste which is passed out through the urine   kidney  
🗑
dilute urine   freshwater fish  
🗑
dilute urine   amphibian  
🗑
evaporation problem therefore they reabsorb much more water in there kidneys and produce more concentrated urine the urine can not become to concentrated or the water from the body will flow into urine by osmosis and the kidney will explode   reptiles  
🗑
the kidneys remove more water from the urine so the urine is 4 time as concentrated as the blood plasma   mammals  
🗑
what kind of water tight skin does Amphibians have   mucus  
🗑
what kind of water tight skin do reptiles have   scales  
🗑
what kind of skin do Mammals/Birds have   skin is dry and virtually water tight  
🗑
Amphibians – mucus   to prevent evaporation they secrete a slippery mucus  
🗑
Reptiles – scales   which overlap and for a water type dry covering  
🗑
is water loss a problem for Fish/Amphibians   water loss is not significant problem because they live near the water  
🗑
is water loss a problem for reptiles   severe water loss problem and the fertilized eggs need a moist environment to develop  
🗑
what are the Two protective membranes   Amnion Chorion  
🗑
enclosed the embryo within a watery environment   Amnion  
🗑
allows oxygen to enter the egg and carbon dioxide to leave but it is impermeable to water it is called the amniotic egg   Chorion  
🗑
they lay amniotic eggs surrounded by a tough shells   Monotremes  
🗑
fish have a _____ _____   external fertilization  
🗑
fish release male and female gametes near each other in the w   external fertilization  
🗑
amphibians have a   external fertilization  
🗑
The reproductive cycle is still depended on the presence of free water   amphibians  
🗑
what are the 2 phases of a fishes development   larva Metamorphosis  
🗑
the eggs are fertilized within the female before they are laid   internal fertilization  
🗑
the young hatch from eggs laid outside the mothers body ex. Platypuses   Oviparous  
🗑
the young are born live from eggs that hatch within the mothers body   Ovoviviparous  
🗑
the young come from reptile eggs fully formed at birth and ready to fend for them selves   reptiles  
🗑
there not able to survive unaided since there development is still incomplete they are nurtured by there parents unlike most reptiles   birds  
🗑
the young are born live from egg cells that develop within the mothers body and nourished from nutrients that are pasted from mother to embryo   Viviparous  
🗑
give birth to live embryos at very early stage of development they then craw into a pouch and continue developing for many months ex) kangaroo   Marsupials  
🗑
they retain there young much longer time within the body they nourish through the placenta in which nutrients are channeled through the embryo from the blood of the mother   Placental mammals  
🗑
