    1) Vertebrates are animals that have a backbone or spinal column and include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. 2) Warm-blooded animals, which include mammals and birds, can maintain a higher body temperature than their environment. 3) Characteristics that define vertebrates include possessing a notochord, dorsal hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and post-anal tail during embryonic development.

    SECTION
    AMETHYST
    An animal of a large group
    distinguished by the possession of a back
    bone or spinal column, including
    mammals, birds , reptiles ,amphibians ,
    and fishes.
    Most vertebrates are sea and land
    dwellers forming the large group of
    chordates.
    Vertebrates comprise all species of
    animals within the subphylum
    Vertebrata.
    Vertebrates represent the
    overwhelming majority of phylum
    chordata.
    WARM BLOODED ANIMALS

    are animal species can maintain a body


    temperature higher than their
    environment.
     Mammals are vertebrate animals constituting
    the class Mammalia, and characterized by the
    presence of mammary glands which in females
    produce milk for feeding their young, a
    neocortex, fur, or hair and three middle ear
    bones
     BIRDS also known as
    Aves, are a group of
    endothermic vertebrates,
    characterised by feathers,
    toothless, beaked jaws, the
    laying of hard-shelled
    eggs, a high metabolic
    rate, four chamber heart,
    and strong yet lightweight
    skeleton.
     Fishes are vertebrates
    found in salty, fresh,
    cold even hot water.
    Most have scales for
    protection , paired fins
    for movement and gills
    for gas exchange. They
    may lay eggs to
    produce or give birth to
    live young.
     Jawless fishes belong to class Agnatha.
    Examples are the lampreys and hag fish.
    Lampreys being parasites, have tooth- like
    structures in their mouth that can attached to
    bodies of their fishes and feed on their tissues
    and blood.
     Cartilaginous fishes include the rays, skates,
    and sharks.they have skeleton made of soft,
    flexible protein material called cartillage.
     The diverse groups of bony fishes belongs to
    Class osteichthyes. These are the fishes that
    have an endoskeleton made of hard calcium
    material called bone.
     Cold blooded creatures take on the
    temperature of their surroundings. They are
    hot when their environment is hot and cold
    when environment is cold.
     In hot environments, cold-blooded animals can
    have blood that is much warmer than warm-
    blooded animals.
     Cold blooded animals are much more active in
    warm environments and are very sluggish in
    cold environments. This is because their
    muscle activity depends on chemical reactions
    which run quickly when it is hot and slowly
    when it is cold.
     A cold blooded animal can convert much more
    of its food into body mass compared with a
    warm blooded animal.
     REPTILES – a vertebrate animal of a class
    that includes snakes, lizards, crocodiles,
    turtles, and tortoises. They are
    distinguished by having a dry scaly skin
    and typically laying soft-shelled eggs on
    land.
    A cold blooded vertebrate animal of a
    class that comprisesthe frogs, toads,
    newts, and salamanders. They are
    distinguished by having an aquatic
    gill-breathing larva stage followed by
    a terrestrial lung-breathing adult stage
    CHARACTERISTICS OF
    VERTEBRATES ANIMALS
     These characteristics are only present during
    embryonic development in some chordates.
     The notochord provides skeletal support, gives
    the phylum its name, and develops into the
    vertebral column in vertebrates.
     The dorsal hollow nerve cord develops into the
    central nervous system: the brain and spine.
     Pharyngeal slits are openings in the pharynx
    that develop into gill arches in bony fish and
    into jaw and inner ear in terrestrial animals.
     The post anal tail is a skeletal extension of the
    posterior end of the body, being absent in
    humans and apes, although present during
    embryonic development.
     JEAN B. LAMARCK – the famous french
    natural scientist was the first to make use of
    such a division of animals at the end of 18th
    century.
     There are approximately 40,000 species of
    vertebrates in the world, 484 of them have been
    found on estonia.
     The distribution of estonian vertebrates is
    following is following:
     fishes – 75 species
     Amphibians - 11 species
     Reptiles – 5 species
     Birds – 328 species
     Mammals – 65 species
     Blue whale is the largest vertebrates that can
    grow to over 100 feet long and 400,000 pounds
     The smallest vertebrate is thought to be a tiny
    frog called the paedophryne amauensis. It only
    grows to about 0.3 inches long.
     The only mammals that lay eggs are
    monotremes such as the platypus and spiny
    anteater.
     There are reptiles that live on every continent
    except Antarctica.
     Frogs can breathe through their skin.
     The shortest childhood of any mammal is
    hooded seal. They are considered adults when
    they are just four days old.
     Vertebrates tend to be much more intellegent
    than invertebrates.
    and this is all for today.....

    thank you for your cooperation....

    GOD BLESS US ALL!!!


     Most fish have skeletons made of bone, they
    are called bony fish. Other fish have skeletons
    made of cartillage.These include sharks and
    rays.
