Objectives
At the end of the discussion, each student is expected to:1. classify the representative chordates into class, order, genus, and species;2. state the common and scientific names
of representative vertebrates; and3. name one distinct characteristic of each taxon to differentiate it from another taxon.

Vertebrate Taxa
About 50,00 known species are animals with vertebral columns
The classification scheme used in this chapter is a conventional “natural classification”, which means it is based on similarity of structure, the geologic record, rationality, and intuition.
The chief vertebrate taxa are classes, subclasses, superorders, order, suborders, families, genera, and species.
![Page 5: Classification of Vertebrates Chap 3(1)](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061512/553fad084a7959a0098b485b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Vertebrate Taxa
There are eight recognized extant classes of vertebrates:
Myxini - hagfishes Cephalaspidomorpha - lampreys Chondrichthyes - cartilagenous fishes Osteichthyes - bony fishes Amphibia - frogs, toads, salamanders, and
caecilians Reptilia - turtles, snakes, lizards,
crocodilians Aves - birds Mammalia - mammals
![Page 6: Classification of Vertebrates Chap 3(1)](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061512/553fad084a7959a0098b485b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Vertebrate Taxa
The vertebrate taxa can be grouped based on their general habitat requirements:
Pisces - collective term for all fishes; includes Myxini, Cephalaspidomorpha, Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes
Tetrapoda - collective term for the terrestrial vertebrates; they have four feet unless some have been secondarily lost or converted to other uses. Includes Amphibia, Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia
![Page 7: Classification of Vertebrates Chap 3(1)](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061512/553fad084a7959a0098b485b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Vertebrate Taxa
Based on their feeding habits: Agnatha - jawless vertebrates, including
Myxini and Cephalaspidomorpha Gnathostomes - vertebrates with jaws
derived from the mandibular arch, which may have (in primitive vertebrates) supported gills. Includes Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, Amphibia, Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia.
![Page 8: Classification of Vertebrates Chap 3(1)](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061512/553fad084a7959a0098b485b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Vertebrate Taxa
Based on their embryonic characteristics Anamniotes - vertebrates that lack an
amnion, or extra embryonic membrane that surrounds the embryo and encases it in amniotic fluid. Includes Myxini, Cephalaspidomorpha, Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, Amphibia.
Amniotes - vertebrates that possess an amnion. Includes Reptilia, Aves, and Mammals.

Vertebrate Taxa
Binomial nomenclature as introduced by Carl von Linne (Linnaeus) has enabled all zoologists all over the world to understand one another.
Binomial designation for a species was introduced in the 10th edition(1758) of his book, Systema Naturae
Scientific name of an animal is made up of generic and specific names, or the genus and the species.

in some neotinic forms (salamanders) Heart with two atria and one ventricle - "three
chambered" Skin is naked or with bony dermal elements Ectothermic - must regulate body temperature
by moving to different microclimates within its environment

Class Amphibia
Group includes smallest terrestrial vertebrates up to some 5’ in length
Name implies continued tie to water - eggs must be laid in water or at least in very moist environment; young develop as gill breathing, water-dwelling tadpoles
Embryos lack an amnion, but eggs are laid in a jelly-like protective coating

Class Amphibia
Order LabyrinthodontiaExtinct amphibians that constituted some
of the dominant animals of Late Paleozoic and Early Mesozoic times (about 350 to 210 million years ago).
They are considered to include the first vertebrates known to live on solid ground, and to have been ancestral to at least some of the groups of modern amphibians and a bridge to the reptiles.
