BIOLOGY LECTURE 17: VERTEBRATA
Fish were the first vertebrates to develop, evolutionary, we are all fish
because we descended from them
Jaw structures – evolved from pharyngeal gill slits, ex: it is what allows us
to talk right now
Pharyngeal gill slits – evolutionary traits that was featured in the past,
may not have as an adult, i.e. not all fish had pharyngeal gill slits
Pharyngeal gill slits (pouches)
-Located on lateral surface of the head
-Lost in echinoderms
-Deuterostomes
Primary function of PGS: filter feeding; passing through the slits is water,
also used for other functions as respiration (water in, then out the slits) then
O2 and CO2 are exchanged on the arches of the pharyngeal slits
Vertebrata:
Gill slits and gill arches (pharyngeal)
-Bars between the slits = gill arches
-Bone or cartilage
-Gill filaments are on the gill arches
Bony Fishes:
-4 pairs of gill arches
-Each arch has pairs of gill filaments
-Operculum (gill cover for protection)
Gill Filament Structure:
-The fishy equivalent of lungs
-Gas exchange

-Deoxygenated blood from the heart, becomes oxygenated when it
crosses the capillary beds
-Water and Blood flow are in opposing directions = countercurrent
exchange
-Minimizing heat loss and maximizing movement of gradients for
osmotic purposes (kidneys)
-Maximizing gas exchange (CO2 and O2)
By creating the opposite flow, you maximize the exchange because on
one-side there will be a high concentration of water and oxygen-rich blood
perfect for exchange (look at a pic if confused)
Fish circulatory system:
Closed – arteries  arterioles  capillaries  venules (to heart)  veins
Humans: Systemic and Pulmonary Circuit; 4 chambers
Fish heart = 2 chambered heart
-Strong, muscular pump
-Ventrally located
-Maintains blood flow
-2+ chambers (auricle/atrium and ventricle)
-One-way valves inside
Vertebrates:
-Axial skeleton  cranium, vertebral column
-Appendicular skeleton  pectoral and pelvic girdle
-Closed circulatory system, ventral heart
-Organs suspended in coelom
Hagfish and Lamprey (NO JAWS):
-Cartilaginous skeleton
-Notochord present
