PRESENTATION OUTLINE

BODY STRUCTURE ADAPTATION

  • Ampphibians have developed legs to move on land

SKIN ADAPTATION

  • They have developed a camouflage look to catch prey and some can even change their color
  • Some are bright colored tomwarn off predators by telling them that their poisness

SENSES ADAPTATION

  • Keep eyes moist with nictitating membrane
  • Ears can detect airborne or ground vibrations
  • Have a third group of chemoreceptors that form the vomeronasal organ

BREATHING ON LAND ADAPTATION

  • When a amphibian goes onto land theyuse lungs and mucus membrans to breath air

CIRCULATORY CIRCITS ADAPTATION

  • Heart consist of a single ventricle and two atria
  • When the ventricle starts contracting, deoxygenated blood is pulped through
  • The pulmonary artery to thr lungs, continued contraction then pumps the
  • Oxygenated blood around the rest of the body
  • Mixing the two boodstrems is minimized by the anatomy of th chambers

EXCRETION ADAPTATION

  • Have two kidneys to filter waste and transport the urine via ureters to thr urinary bladder

HABITAT

  • they inhabit all continents except for Antarctica. Amphibians mastered very hard living conditions: for example, salt water reservoirs, dry and very cold areas. They occur in the Himalayas at the altitude of 4500 m, in deserts, underground, within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. Of course, the majority of amphibian species occur in the tropical region
  • They especially like tropical regions where it is wet and warm and plenty of food
  • They need to stay moist so there skin doesn't dry out

DIGESTIVE ORGANS LIST ANDFUNCTIONS

  • Mouth-ingestion
  • Pharynx-moves food to the oesophagus
  • Oesophagus-pushes food into the stomach
  • Stomach-partially digest food
  • Small intestine-where most digestian occures

Untitled Slide

  • Large intestine-absorbs water and nutrients
  • Cloaca-holds solid wast
