Overview Of Vertebrates!

 

 

In this chapter, we will be explaning about vertebrates, from the way they evolved, to the different heart structures of each type of vertebrates! And all the usual special and unique characteristics that all vertebrates have. Click the links on the left to the desired section! Hope this would be a fun and educational for you!

 

 

The Inside Scoop!

 

Section 1 : Story Of Vertebrate Evolution

Section 3 : Evolution Of A Better Heart
 
In order to obtain energey, there would be a neccessary organ to do all this ;  that would be the HEART. Not only do the lungs do all the work, but the heart is also a big part of the body. Each organ helps out another to carry out the important tasks. In section 3, we will be explaining about the different heart structures of different species.

Section 4 : Challenge Of Retaining Water
 
Since vertebrates have been known to have evolved in the water, there must have been a period of time in which they spent most of their lives underwater. So in the section, we will learn more about the evolution of vertebrates from under water to vertebrates on land. We will also show some of the organs that helped them survive from the balance of water and salt water.

Section 5 : Reproduction and Developement
 
In this chapter, the importance of the life cycle is obvious. Without reproduction, there would not be a continuation of any species. So, in this chapter, we will be talking about how different types of vertebrates reproduce and the ways they develope into adult hood.
