Reptilia wre orginated during carboniferous period of palaeozoic era. Mesozoic era is Golden age of
Reptile.
The branch of biology which deals with the sdtudy of reptiels is known as “Herpetology”
GENERAL CHARATERS :
These re, normally, terrestiral animals, but some animals are aquatic in nature, also.
Body is divided into head, neck, trunk and tail.
Their sking is dry, cornified, rough, nonglandular (Femoral gland in male lizard).
In these animals, each limb has five digits. Each digit has incurved naials.
Some lizards and snakes do not have limbs .e.g Ophiosaurus lizard is a limbless lizard.
Their exoskeleton is made up of horny epidermal scales or bony scales or bony plates.
A compelte alimentray canal is found in these animals, which opens into cloaca.
Teeth are acrodont and thecodont pleurodent type. Tounge is pprotrusible.
Respiration in these animals is by lungs, through out the life, but members of order Chelonia can rspire
through their coloaca, it is known as “Cloacal respiration”
In these animals, ehart is incompletely four chambered 2 complete auricles and two incomplete
ventricles. Right and left both systemic arches are present.
Ventricle of animals of oder Crocodilia is completely divided into two, i.e. heart is four chambered in
Crocodiles.
Sinus venosus is ill developed and trunkus arteri ous is absent. RBCs are oval and nucleated.
Endoskeleton of these animals is made up of bones.
Only one occipital condly is present in skull, this type of skull is caleld nomocondyl skull.
Ribs are present in nech and thorax Ribs of thoracic region make true sternum.
Centrum of vertebrae are procoelus type. Sternum is well developed. Sternal ribs are found in
reptiles.
A chevron bone is found in caudal vertebae of these animals.
One pair of Metanephric kidneys help in excretion.
These animals are uricotelic for water conservation.
There are 12 - pairs of cranial nverces in these animals.
Brain is well develped.
Lateral line system is absent. At the rood / ceiling of buccal cavity Jocobson’s organ (olfactory) is
present.
Genital aperture is not separate from anus. Ureters, genital ducts and alimentray canal open into a
single cloacal aperture.
These are unisexual animals. Fertilization is internal.
One or two penis (Hemipenis) is found in male animals as copulatory organ.
These are mostly oviparous, but some animals are viviparous also. Amount of yolk is very much in
their eggs, i.e. eggs are Polylecithal & Telolecithal.
99
All the thre embryonic membranes amnion, chroion and allatois present in the embryo. Yalksac is
also atached with embryo. So this class is grouped under Aminota group.
Cleavage is Discoidal, Meroblastic.
Developemtn direct i.e. larva stage is absent.
Parental care is often marked.
These are Cold blooded, Poikilothermal animals. Their body temperature varies according to
climate.
Class Reptillia is classfied on teh basis of presence of absence of temporal fossae in the temproral
reion of skull and on their number.
Class reptilia is divided into following Major Five sub-classes :
(1) Anapsida
(2) Eurypsida
(3) Parapsida Extinct
(4) Synapsida
(5) Diapsida
Subclass - Anapsida
Temproral fossae are absent int he temporal region of the
skull i.e. roof of skull is compelte.
Limb are strong.
Sternum is absent.
Bony plate present on the body are caleld osteoderms.
100
Sub-class Diapsida
One pair superior and one pari inferior temproral fossea are found int eh temporal region of skull.
Subblas Diapsida is divided into two super orders :
(1) Lepidosauria
(2) Archosauria
Most of the speices of tthis order are found int eh form of fossils.
Only Sphenodon punctatum species is live only. It is found in New Zealand.
Body is small and lizard like. Tail is compressed laterally.
Limbs are pentadactyl and digits are with nails.
A functional thrid eye or pinal or parietal eye is found int eh head.
Vertabrae are amphicoelous type.
Teeth are acrodont type.
Penis or copulatory organ is absent in male animals
Long living ~ 100 years
Largest number of species of reptiles is found in this order in modern era. All the lizards & snakes are
included in this order.
One or two pairs of temporal fose are found in temporal regioin of skull, which disappear afer
sometimes.
Limbs clawed, Limibs are absent in snakes and some of the lizards.
Horny scales are found on body, i.e. their exoskeleton in made up of horny paltes.
Teeth are pleurodont, i.e. tooth is situated at lateral side of jaw hone.
101
e.g.
- Hemidacylus - Common lizard, wall lizard. It can shed its onwn tail at the time of
emergency. it is called autotomy. Power of regneration is well makred.
- Calotes - Blood sucker, Garden lizard Girgit. It can change its colour according to
environment.
- Draco - Rlying lizards. Its body skin expands in the form of 2 wings or patagia. With
the help of these patagia, it can glide from one tree to another tree or its
branches. It van not fly.
102
Suborder (ii) Ophidia :
Tongue thin, long and bifid and sensitive to odour and vibration
103
104
Characteristic features of poisonous snakes :
Poison glans of poisonous snakes are modified labial glands. Probably these glands are homologous
to paroiid salivary glands of Mammals.
Spicial features :
- Heart is completely four chambered
- Ventricle is completely divided into two chambers.
- Teeth are thecodont type.
105
Urinary bladder absent.
A median erectile grooved penis is present in male animals
e.g.
- Crocodilus / Crocodilus (Crocodile) - It is only found in Indian subcontinent.
- Gavialius - Gharial. Snouth very long.

Order - Saurischia
CLASS - AVES
Birds are orginated at the end of Jursassic period of Mesozoa era & modernisation in cretaceaous
Dr. Salim Ali was the great ornithologits of India and known as “Birdman of India”
MAIN CHARACTERS :
All types of birds are included in this class.
Body is boat shaped. It is divided into head, neck, trunk and tail. Neck is long and flexible.
A cover of soft feathers (derivative of stratum corneum) is present all voer the body of all the birds that
is called “plumage”
106
Skin is dry and without glands. But oil glands or Preen glands are found on tial or Uropygium. These
glands secrete oil, which softens and makes greasy to the feathers.

food is swallowed unmastigated. Pigeon milk is secreted by both sexes (Crop product). Gall bladder is
absent.
Spongy lungs are present for repiration Air sacs are also found, these help in flying.

Their body is covered by a coat of hair (made or Keratin), called plegae.
Skin of mammals is thick, water prood, glandular. So many types of glands are present int he skin as
swat glands, oil glands or sebaceous glands and mammary glands.
Mammary glands (Modifed sweat glands) are found in females for body feeding, so on the basis of
this, the class mammalia was on named.
