Numbers of Heart Chambers | Warm-blooded or Cold-blooded | External or Internal Fertilization | Body covering | |
Agnatha | 2 | cold blooded | external | In modern agnathans, the body is covered in skin, with neither dermal or epidermal scales. |
Chondrichthyes | 2 | cold blooded | external | Chondrichthyans have toothlike scales called dermal denticles or placoid scales. Denticles usually provide protection, and in most cases, streamlining. |
Osteichthyes | 2 | cold blooded | external | All have gills covered with a bony operculum, and a layer of thin overlapping bony scales cover the entire body surface. |
Amphibia | 3 | cold blooded | external | Amphibians do not have scales, feathers, or even hair like other animals. Since it does not have that protective covering, the skin of an amphibian can easily dry out. |
Reptilia | 3 | cold blooded | external | Reptilians have epidermal scales covering part or all of their body. |
Aves | 4 | warm-blooded | external | Their bodies are covered with feathers and whose forelimbs are modified into wings. Most can fly. |
Mammals | 4 | warm-blooded | internal | Mammals have hair or fur, birds have feathers, reptiles have dry scales, amphibians have soft, moist skin, and fish have wet, slimy scales. |
