What are Protochordates what are the difference between subphyla Urochordates and cephalochordates and comparrision between Urochordates and cephalochordates
Protochordates have two subphyla: urochordates and cephalochordates. Urochordates include sea squirts and related invertebrate groups, while cephalochordates are represented by amphioxus. Amphioxus is considered the most basal chordate and shares several anatomical similarities with the larval stage of lampreys, including a dorsal nerve cord, brain, myomeres, and filter feeding behavior, though amphioxus lacks a heart and organized kidney.
1) Amphibians are cold-blooded vertebrates that can live both on land and in water. They have four limbs and lungs as adults.
2) Amphibians are classified into three subclasses: Labyrinthodontia, Lepospondyli, and Lissamphibia.
3) The three orders of modern amphibians (Lissamphibia) are Anura (frogs and toads), Urodela (salamanders), and Apoda (limbless amphibians).
This document provides information on the general characteristics of fishes. It discusses:
1) Fishes are cold-blooded aquatic vertebrates that first evolved in the Silurian period and increased in number during the Devonian period.
2) They have a streamlined body with scales or plates, paired and unpaired fins, breathe through gills, and vary greatly in size.
3) Fishes are classified into three classes - Placodermi, Elasmobranchii, and Osteichthyes - based on their skeleton composition and other features.
Phylogenetic relationship of protochordatesSaira Ramzan
This document discusses the evolutionary relationships between chordates, hemichordates, and echinoderms. It notes that chordates and hemichordates share some characteristics like a dorsal nerve cord and pharyngeal slits, though it is unclear if these are homologous. Chordates are distinguished by features like a tadpole larva, notochord, post-anal tail, and endostyle. The document suggests that hemichordates, chordates, and echinoderms had a common ancestor and that early echinoderms were sessile filter feeders. Through paedomorphosis, chordates evolved from these sessile ancestors into a larval form that was mobile and fish-like,
The document describes the key fins found in fish, including their locations and functions. It discusses the pectoral fins, dorsal fins, pelvic fins, and caudal fins. The caudal fin is described as the most important for forward propulsion during swimming. Different types of caudal fins are also outlined, including protocercal, heterocercal, and homocercal fins.
Reptiles are tetrapod vertebrates that first began living on land. They are cold-blooded with scaly skin and lay eggs on land. Their skin is covered in scales, scutes, or bony plates instead of hair or fur. They have lungs with a large surface area, a three-chambered heart (except crocodiles), and shed their skin through moulting.
Scales are an important part of the exoskeleton of most fish species. There are several different types of scales that evolved over time, including placoid, cycloid, ctenoid, cosmoid, and ganoid scales. Placoid scales are found in sharks and resemble teeth, while cycloid and ctenoid scales are thin and circular or spiny and found in bony fish. Scales provide protection and can be used to determine age and growth rates in fish, as well as provide information about extinct fish species and the diets of predatory animals.

Scales provide protection and can be used to determine age and growth rates in fish, as well as provide information about extinct fish species and the diets of predatory animals.
Fishes possess dermal scales on the body for protection. Each scale is made of dentine that is secreted by dermal papilla which is a group of specialized neighbouring tissues. The exposed
portion of scale is covered with a layer of hard enamel to minimise wear and tear. Ancient
fishes generally had thick bony scales while the modern fishes have evolved thin and flexible
scales for more agility.
Protochordates are lower chordates that lack a true skull. They are divided into three sub-phyla and display characteristics like bilateral symmetry and a notochord at some life stage. Hemichordates live solitarily or in colonies and have a proboscis, collar, and trunk. Urochordates are sessile, filter-feeding tunicates surrounded by a tunic. Cephalochordates have a notochord that extends to the head and retain their nerve cord and tail. While having little economic importance, protochordates have great phylogenetic significance as they retain chordate features and are considered the most primitive chordates closely related to the vertebrate ancestor.
The document discusses the aquatic adaptation of mammals. It acknowledges those who helped with the seminar topic. The contents include introduction, adaptation of aquatic mammals, modification and loss of original structures, development of new structures, types of aquatic mammals, and conclusion. It describes various anatomical modifications that aquatic mammals undergo, such as streamlined bodies, flippers, valvular nostrils, large lungs, blubber, and tail flukes to adapt to aquatic living.
Birds have many adaptations for flight including feathers that are light and reduce drag, hollow bones to decrease weight, strong flight muscles, and other anatomical features like fused vertebrae and sternums that provide rigidity. Their circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems are also highly specialized to support the high energy demands of flight, with large hearts, lungs with air sacs, and high calorie diets. These extensive morphological and anatomical adaptations allow birds to achieve powered flight and maneuverability in the air.
This presentation provide information about salient feature of cyclostomata with proper examples and explanation why they are classified in this class.
This document summarizes flightless birds. It begins by defining flightless birds as belonging to the superorder Palaeognathae, characterized by a Palaeognathous plate. These birds are flightless, with small heads, rudimentary wings, and well-developed legs adapted for running rather than flying. The document then discusses four orders of flightless birds - ostriches, emus, cassowaries, and kiwis. Examples are provided for each, describing their physical characteristics and habitats. In closing, the document briefly mentions penguins as another type of flightless bird found in cold southern climates.
The document discusses the phylum Mollusca. Some key points:
- Mollusca is the second largest phylum and includes animals like snails, slugs, clams, squids and octopuses.
- They are soft-bodied and many have an external or internal shell. Their main distinguishing feature is the shell, which has architectural and ornamental value.
- The phylum is divided into 7 classes based on shell structure and foot position. These include Gastropoda (snails and slugs), Bivalvia (clams and oysters), and Cephalopoda (squids and octopuses).
- Molluscs have
1. The document outlines different types of glands found in the skin, including simple and compound tubular and saccular glands.
2. Examples of simple tubular glands given are sweat glands and ceruminous glands, while mammary glands are identified as compound tubular glands.
3. The skin of mammals is described as the most complex, with two main layers - the epidermis and dermis, along with associated structures like hair, claws/nails, and glands.
Snakes-poisonous & Non poisonous, venom ,biting mechanism SoniaBajaj10
Snakes are found worldwide except in a few locations like Antarctica. There are over 3,000 snake species, with about 600 being venomous and only 200 able to significantly harm humans. Snakes are covered in scales, lay eggs, and shed their skin periodically. The document discusses key facts about snakes such as their distribution, venomous characteristics, physical traits, shedding and birthing habits. It cites several references used to compile the information.
The chordates are named for the notochord: a flexible, rod-shaped structure that is found in the embryonic stage of all chordates and also in the adult stage of some chordate species.
It is located between the digestive tube and the nerve cord, providing skeletal support through the length of the body.
In some chordates, the notochord acts as the primary axial support of the body throughout the animal's lifetime.
Echinoderms undergo a complex metamorphosis during development, starting as free-swimming larvae. There are five main larval forms: dipleurula, bipinnaria, brachiolaria, ophiopluteus, and echiniopluteus. These larvae have ciliated bands that help them swim and feed. As they develop arms and other features, they transition into their respective adult body plans through metamorphosis and settlement. The common larval features indicate a shared evolutionary ancestry among the classes of echinoderms.
It discusses basic information regarding a hemichordate animal called Balanoglossus or Acorn worm, which is also a good connecting link between the non-chordates and chordates.
This document discusses the differences between neoteny and paedogenesis. Neoteny involves slowed somatic growth such that organisms remain in juvenile stages, while paedogenesis involves accelerated sexual maturity even as larvae. Neoteny can be seen in humans while paedogenesis is found in amphibians like salamanders. There are two types of neoteny - total neoteny where larvae become sexually mature but retain larval features, and partial neoteny which involves a postponed metamorphosis beyond normal periods due to environmental or physiological factors. Neoteny is viewed as an adaptive consequence of retaining larval features that may be advantageous in certain environments.
This document provides an overview of the phylum Annelida, or segmented worms. It discusses their general characteristics such as segmentation, coelom, circulatory and excretory systems. It then describes the three main classes: Polychaeta (marine worms with many bristles), Oligochaeta (few bristled terrestrial and freshwater worms), and Hirudinea (leeches). Key details are provided on the morphology, habitat, reproduction and examples of representative species for each class.
This document provides a classification of reptiles based on their anatomical features. It discusses the five subclasses of reptiles: Anapsida, Euryapsida, Parapsida, Synapsida, and Diapsida. Within Diapsida are two superorders - Lepidosauria containing lizards and snakes, and Archosauria containing crocodilians. Key characteristics are described for each order, including turtles within Anapsida, lizards and snakes within Lepidosauria, and crocodilians. Temporal bone structure is an important distinguishing feature between subclasses.
The water vascular system of echinoderms consists of a network of canals filled with fluid connected to the coelom. It contains structures like the madreporite, stone canal, ring canal, radial canals, and tube feet. The system functions in locomotion, food capture, attachment, and sometimes respiration, excretion, and sensation. It varies in structure across the different echinoderm classes.

Chordates are classified into 3 subphyla: Cephalochordata, Urochordata, and Vertebrata. Cephalochordata and Urochordata are invertebrates while Vertebrata includes fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. All chordates share structures like a notochord, dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and postanal tail. The subphylum Urochordata includes tunicates that are marine filter feeders while Cephalochordata includes lancelets that have elongated segmented bodies and retain their notochord. Vertebrates are distinguished by having a head, brain, vertebrae,
The document describes characteristics of the chordate phylum including:
- Possessing a notochord, dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and post-anal tail during embryonic development.
- The notochord provides skeletal support and develops into the vertebral column in vertebrates. The nerve cord develops into the central nervous system. Pharyngeal slits develop into gills or jaws.
- Major chordate groups are Urochordata, Cephalaochordata, and Vertebrata. Amphioxus/lancelets are described as possessing chordate characteristics throughout their life.
