 ANIMALS:
CHARACTERISTICS
OF VERTEBRATES
 VERTEBRATES
Animals with backbones
or vertebral columns are called
vertebrates. Their backbones
support and protect their spinal
cords. At the end of the spinal cord
is the brain which is enclosed
in a skull.
 VERTEBRATES
As compared to other animals,
vertebrates have internal skeletons that
give them shape. They have large and
more developed brains; making
them the higher form of animals.
They are classified into five small
groups namely: fishes, amphibians,
reptiles, birds and mammals.
 VERTEBRATES
These five groups are then divided into
two groups according to their ability to
adapt to the changes in the temperature
of their environment. The first three
groups, namely fishes, amphibians
and reptiles are all cold-blooded
vertebrates for their body temperature
changes with their environment.
 VERTEBRATES
They do not eat very often because they
depend on their surroundings instead of
their bodies for heat. On the other hand,
birds and mammals belong to the
warmblooded vertebrates for their body
temperature changes only slightly even
if they are in extremely hot or cold
environment. To maintain their body
temperature, they must eat often.
