How do the “types of vertebrae” change throughout the evolution of vertebrate taxa, from fish (2 types) to amphibians(4 types)? Relate those changes to the functional demands on the skeleton—changes related to the move from water to land, need for support, locomotion.

How is the skeleton of a sea urchin like the skeleton of a lobster? How is it different? Sea stars have no teeth, yet they eat other animals (corals, molluscs). How do they do this?
Compare the bat to the bird. Where is the bat's ulna? Are there any remnants of it? How is the bat's wing membrane supported by its skeleton? Be precise. Does a bird's wing work in the same way?
