system in which blood and
water flow in opposite
directions.

6
Compare &
contrast the three
birthing methods
found in
vertebrates
7
Oviparous – lay eggs that hatch outside
the body
Ovoviviparous – allow eggs to hatch
inside the body and then young are
birthed alive
Viviparous – mother directly nourishes
the young which are then born alive
8
Name and describe the three types
of caudal fins that may be found in
fish

12
Skate or Ray?

14
What are the three Classes of
fish and what do the words
actually mean?
15
Agnatha – Jawless Fish
Chondrichthyes – Cartilaginous Fish
Osteichthyes – Bony Fish
16
Describe the difference
between bony fish in
Subclass Actinopterygii
and Sarcopterygii. Which
one has more evolutionary
significance for tetrapods?
17 Actinopterygii – Ray finned fish with
fins attached at multiple points
Sarcopterygii – Lobe finned fish with
fins attached at a single point
Tetrapods evolved out of the Sarco line

22
What are two differences
between the circulatory
systems of fish &
amphibians?
23
Fish – 2-chambered heart and a
single-circuit system
Amphibians – 3-chambered heart
and a dual-circuit system
24
What is the name for an
amphibian’s ability to breathe
through its skin and why does
this cause amphibians to be more
susceptible to environmental
toxins?
25 Cutaneous Respiration
Capillaries close to the skin
surface allow toxins to
absorb into the blood
stream along with gasses
26
Define the following terms:
Paedomorphosis
Amplexus
27 Paedomorphosis – the retention of
juvenile traits in the adult form
Amplexus – frog reproduction
strategy in which the male mounts
the female, squeezes out her eggs,
and then sprays them with sperm

30 Random VSI True/False…
1. A 2nd blue dot appears if a heartworm test is
negative (Lesson 2)
2. Cats breed quicker than dogs (Lesson 1)
3. People who believe in animal welfare do not
agree with horse racing (Lesson 3)
4. Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic disease
(Lesson 4)

1. A 2nd blue dot appears if a heartworm test
is negative (False)
2. Cats breed quicker than dogs (True)
3. People who believe in animal welfare do
not agree with horse racing (False)
4. Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic disease
(True)
32
Describe the difference
between the skin of frogs
versus toads and how the
skin relates to the lungs.
33 Frog skin is wetter and smoother than
toad skin. This is because frogs live in
wetter environments and rely more on
cutaneous respiration than toads. Toads
have better lungs and are thus not as
reliant on their skin for gas exchange
34
What is the name of the first
transitional animal that was
able to spend any real time
on land thus linking the fish
and amphibian lines?
35
Tiktaalik
36
37
Caecilian Mudpuppy
Newt Poison Dart Frog
38
What are the three Orders of
Class Amphibia and what
specific amphibians reside in
each Order?
39
Apoda – Caecilians
Anura – Frogs & Toads
Caudata – Salamanders
40
What are the two salamander
Families and what is the basis for
the distinction between members of
the two Families?
41
Salamandridae- True
Salamanders
Plethodontidae – Lungless
Salamanders
42
Name the 5 types of Vertebrates. Which one is not
a Tetrapod?
37
Fish, Amphibians,
Reptiles, Birds, &
Mammals
Fish are not tetrapods
44
Name the animal and Phylum/Subphylum
45
Lancelet
Cephalochordata
Acorn Worm
Hemichordata
Sea Squirt
Urochordata
46
Hemichordates seem to
bridge the gap between the
Chordates and the lesser
animals by the their nervous
system is oriented. Explain…
47
Half of the nervous system is
oriented ventrally like the
lesser animals and the other
half is oriented dorsally like
the Chordates
48
Urochordates seem to “de-evolve”
during their lifespan. To what
“de-evolution” is this question
referring?
49 As they grow from their larval form to
an adult, Urochordates lose their
cephalization, their mobility, and their
notochord while their nerve cord
almost disappears completely
50
What are the seven
characteristics shared by all
members of phylum
Chordata in at least some
portion of their lifespan?
51 Bilateral Symmetry
Segmented Muscles
Dorsal Nerve Cord
Notochord
Deuterostomes
Pharyngeal Gill Slits
Post-anal Tail
