26.1 Amniotes
KEY CONCEPT Reptiles, birds, and mammals are amniotes.
26.1 Amniotes
Amniote embryos develop in a fluid-filled sac.
• The amniotic sac contains everything an embryo needs to grow.– some develop inside mother’s body– some develop inside a tough, semipermeable shell
26.1 Amniotes
• The amniotic egg allowed vertebrates to reproduce on land.

Chorion Allows gas exchangewith outside environment
26.1 Amniotes
Anatomy and circulation differ among amniotes.
• Other amniotes, including dinosaurs, evolved a more upright stance.
• The first animals walked in a sprawl.
26.1 Amniotes
• All amniotes have two circuits of blood vessels.
– pulmonary circuit moves blood from the heart to the lungs
– systemic circuit moves blood from the heart to the rest of the body
26.1 Amniotes
• Amniotes have a three- or four-chambered heart.– reptiles hearts have three chambers
THREE-CHAMBERED HEART
– birds and mammals hearts have four chambers
FOUR-CHAMBERED HEART
26.1 Amniotes
Amniotes can be ectothermic or endothermic.
• Amniotes manage body heat in different ways.– Ectotherms have body temperatures determined by
the surrounding environment.– Endotherms use metabolic heat to keep tissues
warm.• Endotherms can live in a wider range of climates than
ectotherms.
