History
• Reptiles are the evolutionary base for the rest of the tetrapods.
• Early divergence of mammals from reptilian ancestor.
• Early reptiles arose from amphibian ancestor and were small, lizard-like insectivores.

Common Features• Positioning of legs more
directly under animal (more support).
• Paired limbs with five toes. – Adapted for running,
climbing, swimming.– Absent in snakes.

Common Features• Body covered with
horny epidermal scales made from protein keratin. – Scales serve to
reduce water loss and provide protection.
– Reptiles molt as they grow.
• Jaws adapted to biting/tearing.

Common features• Respiration through
internally protected and moistened (a moist cloacal surface in some turtles).
• Most reptiles have a 3-chambered heart with a partially divided ventricle. – No mixing of blood
from lungs with deoxygenated blood.
– Crocodiles have 4 chambers and a unique feature: cog teeth.

Common features• Excretory waste = uric acid
(doesn’t waste water)• Brain = first cerebral cortex
(capable of reasoning, planning, perception)
• Still ectothermic– Must live in favorable
conditions or hibernate.– Being ectothermic enables
an organism to survive on much less food than an endothermic organism.

Reproduction• Internal fertilization: gametes not subject to
desiccation. • Amniote egg = significant evolutionary
breakthrough.– Egg covered by tough, water-resistant,
leathery or calcerous shell.– Extraembryonic membranes compartmentalize
the interior for several functions.

Amniote Egg
• Chorion = hard covering permeable to respiratory gases but not water.
• Allantois = functions in gas exchange and a storage reservoir for metabolic waste.
• Amnion = fluid-filled sac acts as cushion for embryo and prevents desiccation.
• Yolk sac = food for embryo; eliminates need for larval stage.

Reptile Skulls• Except for turtles, all reptiles have two
temporal openings in the skull.
• These openings have allowed for attachment and expansion of the jaw muscles.
