Biol 111 lecture 16 fishes precious. Lecture date/time: nov 3rd, 2015 / 10:35-11:25 am. Unique to chordates have: dorsal hollow nerve cord, notochord, muscular post-anal tail. Also have: pharyngeal slits (pouches) but is something vertebrates have. Seem to be an ancestral trait in deuterostomes. Humans have them during embryonic development in womb. In vertebrates, pharyngeal tissue supported by arches. Water coming in mouth passes through slits. O2 & co2 can be exchanged across a respiratory surface = gills gills located between slits, supported by arched. Bars between the slits = gill arches. Gill filaments are on the gill arches (many off one gill arch) For later in the lesson: bony fish have 4 pairs of gill arches, each arch has many pairs of gill filaments. Bony fish also have a gill cover (operculum) Structure is thin, vascularized, high surface area. Capillary beds in gill filaments; gas exchange. Filament epithelium is one cell thick (1-2 um) very thin!
