ANIMALIA
CHORDATA
VERTEBRATA “backbone”
REPTILIA “to creep or crawl”
CHELONIA “tortoise”
ADVANTAGES over thin, moist Amphibian skin
1. WATER TIGHT - Keeps them from drying out on land
2. TOUGH PROTECTION – - prevents injury, keeps out germs, - prevents wear & tear on skin
when crawling around on land

SHELL IS LIVING PART OF BODY
Expanded ribs form shellCan regenerate damaged scutesGrowth rings tell age
Location of
Pelvic and Pectoral girdles allow turtle to pull limbs into shell

MALE PLASTRON slightly CONCAVE to fit on top of female
CURVE OF PLASTRON
FEMALE PLASTRON slightly CONVEXto make more room for eggs
INTERNAL FERTILIZATION
Increases chances of sperm and egg meeting

Penis deposits sperm inside female’s body
Ectothermic• Body heat comes from
surrounding environment
• Slow metabolism/low activity in cold places
• “cold-blooded”
• EX: All invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles
ECTOTHERMICADVANTAGES: Slow metabolism means you can survive on 1/10 the food as a same size endotherm
DISADVANTAGES:• Can’t to live in extremely cold places (NO reptiles in Arctic)
• Can’t keep up max activity level for long
Endothermic “warm-blooded”• Create own body heat
• FAST metabolism allows for:
high activity for extended time
ability to live in variety of environments
• EX: Birds, Mammals
LIVER
Makes BILE
Stores GLYCOGEN
Stores VITAMINS
Processes TOXINS
including nitrogen waste for kidneys
TURTLE HEART
3 CHAMBERS
2 atria; 1 ventricle
Sinus Venosus &
Conus Arteriosus
are smaller
PARTIAL SEPTUM: begins to divide ventricle into two sides

Sinus venosus
RIGHTAtrium
Ventricle Conus arteriosus
Lungs
Bodyorgans
LEFTAtrium
FROG/TURTLE CIRCULATION
ENDOCRINEGlands that make
hormones that control other body organs
THYROID: located above heart Makes hormones that control heart rate, blood pressure; cell development and growth
PANCREAS controls
blood sugar levels
LUNGS HAVE ALVEOLI
FROG LUNG TURTLE LUNGIncrease surface area for more gas exchange

SEX is determined by TEMPERATURE of NEST

Ways offspring enter world
OVIPARITY- Reproductive tract encloses egg in a protective shell
Eggs deposited outside body to hatchNourishment comes from egg
EX: Most reptiles,birds & a few mammals (monotremes)
VIVIPARITY-
No shell around egg
Eggs retained in body
Nourished by mother through placenta
Offspring are born alive
Ex: Mammals & some reptiles
Ways offspring enter world
OVOVIVIPARITY-Egg surrounded by protective shellbut kept in body until just before hatching or can hatch inside female
Nourishment comes from egg not mother
Ex: Some reptiles (snakes)
Ways offspring enter world

WHAT’S IN REPTILES?
Internal fertilization- (Penis) increases chances of sperm finding egg allows addition of protective shellAmniotic eggs- can lay eggs on land now; better protection for embryos
Partial septum- better separation on high/low oxygen blood
WHAT’S IN REPTILES?
Other kinds of reproduction- (OVOVIVIPARITY; VIVIPARITY) increases chances for offspring survival
Control over Pulmonary circulation can shift blood away from lungs to body when neededDry, scaly skin better able to live on land
WHAT’S IN REPTILES?
Nitrogen waste = uric acid AMMONIA UREA URIC ACID Least toxic form; Needs least water to dilute conserves water
Bigger cerebrum- “smarter”; more complex behaviors
