CLASS AMPHIBIAAmphibians:
include frogs, toads, salamanders & others
Tetrapods (4 legs) Have a gelatinous egg covering Have a 3-chambered heart
2 atria, 1 ventricle

CLASS AMPHIBIAAmphibian development is well known egg laid in water hatch into larval forms or tadpoles with
gills lungs and leg develop, tail stops growing
with time adults come out of water

CLASS AMPHIBIA Variations in developmental pattern seen:
some remain in water w/ gills: mud puppy, & few salamanders (newts)
![Page 6: PHYLUM CHORDATA SUBPHYLUM VERTEBRATA A SURVEY OF DIVERSITY](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5681633b550346895dd3cb2b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
CLASS AMPHIBIA Heart is 3-chambered: atrium is separated into two distinct
chambers blood circulation: body right atrium &
ventricle lungs left atrium & ventricle oxygen rich blood goes out
to body, oxygen-poor blood goes to lungs
![Page 7: PHYLUM CHORDATA SUBPHYLUM VERTEBRATA A SURVEY OF DIVERSITY](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5681633b550346895dd3cb2b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
CLASS AMPHIBIAVariation in respiration mechanisms: gills for aquatic forms lungs on terrestrial forms through skin (diffusion) on all forms
![Page 8: PHYLUM CHORDATA SUBPHYLUM VERTEBRATA A SURVEY OF DIVERSITY](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5681633b550346895dd3cb2b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
CLASS AMPHIBIABreathing in frogs: have lung and mouth pouch1. suck air into mouth through nostrils2. close nostrils and force air into lungs3. pull air into & out of mouth several times
(an alternate mechanism to get oxygen)4. contracting of body wall to expel air from
lungs (this is method to obtain most oxygen)
most carbon dioxide lost through diffusion out skin

legs of scales forelimbs modified to wings (or fins?) beak with no teeth endothermic (body temperature by
metabolism) - previous groups exothermic females with only left ovary developing eggs with much yolk and hard calcareous
shell

to catch air movement sternum with keel
for attachment of flight muscles
bones pneumatized (full of air cavities)
presence of air sacs, extensions of lung into abdomen
![Page 31: PHYLUM CHORDATA SUBPHYLUM VERTEBRATA A SURVEY OF DIVERSITY](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5681633b550346895dd3cb2b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
CLASS AVESair sacs - extensions of lung into abdomen up to 75% of air bypasses the lungs as
breathing in flows through lungs on way out (more
efficient)

CLASS AVES Migration common among
many species Summer nesting grounds,
take advantage of abundant food in summer
Winter feeding - migrate to other suitable site
Arctic tern with pole to pole migration!
![Page 33: PHYLUM CHORDATA SUBPHYLUM VERTEBRATA A SURVEY OF DIVERSITY](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5681633b550346895dd3cb2b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
CLASS AVESTypes of annual migration patterns: permanent resident - here year round summer resident - migrate here to breed during
warm months winter resident - summer breeding somewhere else,
typically further north summer or winter visitor - present during only part
of year, eg. ocean birds spring / fall transient - moving through during
migration accidental - strange presence on a very erratic basis

1) warns other males to stay away2) attracts prospective females
Once female attracted male will display additionally to keep female1) songs2) plumage displays3) dances & acrobatic flights
