How do scientists place vertebrates into groups?
The vertebrates are animals with a backbone. Scientists separate this group into smaller groups because of their features:
- how the animal takes in oxygen -- lungs, gills or through the skin
- thermoregulation -- maintains own temperature (homeotherms) or temperature varies with surroundings (poikilotherms)
- reproduction -- internal or external fertilization, lay eggs (oviparous) or give birth to live young (viviparous).
Do vertabrates give birth to live young?
A vertebrae is a life form with a spine. Humans are vertebraes as are all mammals, monotremes and amphibians..however not all of these give birth to live young, monotremes are mammals that lay eggs (there are only 2, platypus and echidna)...except for these, all other mammals give birth to live young.

What are examples of homeostasis in a vertebrate organism?
Homeostasis basically translates to 'keeping the body stable'
the body needs to keep a very stable internal environment:
~our enzymes work at a very specific temperature, so we do everything we can to keep the body at a stable temperature (98.6 F)
~we keep blood sugar at a stable level by releasing insulin when we have a lot of sugar in the blood and glucagon when it is too low
~the kidneys the blood at certain acidity level
~we retain water from urine when the body is dehydrated, and increase urination when the body has too much wate
