  2. CLASSIFICATION OF VERTEBRATES

  3. QUESTION TIME ! Q] Classify the following as ‘living’ and ‘non-living’.

  4. ANIMALS Invertebrates Vertebrates

  5. ACTIVITY Vertebral column (human) Internal skeleton: man& dog

  6. Who are invertebrates ? • Animals that do not have a vertebral column & an internal skeleton. • Examples: Earthworm Butterfly Starfish Octopus

  7. Who are vertebrates ? • Animals that have a true vertebral column & an internal skeleton which helps in muscle attachment. • Examples: Fish Crow Turtle Human being

  8. QUIZ TIME ! Q] Classify the following into ‘vertebrates’ and ‘invertebrates’. Invertebrate Vertebrate Vertebrate Vertebrate Invertebrate Invertebrate

  9. VERTEBRATES classes Amphibia Aves Pisces Reptilia Mammalia

  10. PISCES

  11. PISCES • Comprise of fish • Examples: Seahorse Sting ray Lionfish Dogfish Electric ray Flying fish

  12. CHARACTERISTICS OF PISCES • Where do fish live? • Water living animals • How is their skin protected? • Scales

  13. CHARACTERISTICS OF PISCES • Respiration • Obtain oxygen dissolved in water by using gills. • Heart • Two-chambered

  14. CHARACTERISTICS OF PISCES • Body structure • Streamlined body • Muscular tail for movement • Reproduction • Lay eggs eggs

  15. CHARACTERISTICS OF PISCES TYPES OF FISH Skeleton made entirely of cartilage Skeleton made of both bone & cartilage Rohu Shark Tuna

  16. AMPHIBIA

  17. CHARACTERISTICS OF AMPHIBIA • Animals found both on land & in water. • Examples: Frog Toad Salamander

  18. CHARACTERISTICS OF AMPHIBIA • Skin • Slimy skin because of presence of mucus glands. • Scales • Absent • Heart • Three-chambered Moist slimy skin of frog 3-chambered heart

  19. CHARACTERISTICS OF AMPHIBIA • Respiration • Reproduction • Lay eggs Lungs – in adults Gills – in larva Frog laying eggs

  20. reptilIA

  21. REPTILIA • Examples: Snake Turtle Chameleon Flying lizard House wall lizard

  22. CHARACTERISTICS OF REPTILIA • Cold – blooded animals • Scales • Present • Respiration • Breathe through lungs Scales of chameleon Scales of snake

  23. CHARACTERISTICS OF REPTILIA • Heart • three – chambered • Exception: crocodile has four – chambered heart v/s Three-chambered heart (reptiles) Four-chambered heart (crocodile)

  24. CHARACTERISTICS OF REPTILIA • Reproduction • Lay eggs with tough coverings Turtle laying eggs Baby turtle

  25. Aves

  26. AVES • Comprise of birds • Examples: Ostrich Hen Pigeon Duck Sparrow Hummingbird

  27. CHARACTERISTICS OF AVES • Warm – blooded animals • Respiration • Breathe through lungs • Heart • Four – chambered Four-chambered heart of birds

  28. CHARACTERISTICS OF AVES • Protection of body • Body is covered with feathers • Two forelimbs are modified into feathers • Feathers help for flight Variety of feathers of different birds

  29. CHARACTERISTICS OF AVES • Reproduction • Lay eggs Hen laying eggs

  30. MAMMALIA

  31. MAMMALIA Examples LAND WATER AIR Cat Whale Bat Elephant Human

  32. CHARACTERISTICS OF MAMMALIA • Warm – blooded animals • Mammary glands • Production of milk to nourish their young ones Mammary glands in cow

  33. CHARACTERISTICS OF MAMMALIA • Skin has hair, sweat & oil glands. • Heart • Four – chambered Human skin hair Four-chambered heart in human

  34. CHARACTERISTICS OF MAMMALIA • Reproduction • Adults give birth to young ones. • Exception: Platypus & Echidna lay eggs Dog giving birth to puppy Platypus Echidna
