Summary

• Early vertebrates and their water-dwelling descendants move forward by lateral undulation (waving the body from side to side) • Fins are used to maneuver • specializations for different habitats include • enlarging (increased maneuverability, moving backwards, moving up and down) or reducing fins (decreased maneuverability, more emphasis on forward motion) • specializing tail for stronger (powerful strokes, faster and more inertia) or weaker strokes (slower, more maneuverable) • Food ingestion requires getting water to flow into mouth • gill arches help by providing exit for water • specializations of the jaws allow for.. • pulling food into mouth • suction feeding
