During gastrulation, deuterostome embryos' anus is given first by the blastopore while the mouth is formed secondarily, and vice versa for the protostomes In deuterostomes, the developing embryo's first opening, the blastopore , becomes the anus , while the gut eventually tunnels through the embryo until it reaches the other side, forming an ...
In humans (a deuterostome), the development proceeds differently. The buccopharyngeal membrane is created in the foregut and is perforated during the fourth week of human development, creating the primitive mouth, whereas the cloacal membrane is created in the hindgut and is perforated during the eighth week of human development, creating the ...
A chordate (/ ˈ k ɔːr d eɪ t / KOR-dayt) is a deuterostomal bilaterian animal belonging to the phylum Chordata (/ k ɔːr ˈ d eɪ t ə / kor-DAY-tə).All chordates possess, at some point during their larval or adult stages, five distinctive physical characteristics (synapomorphies) that distinguish them from other taxa.

The main deuterostome phyla are the Echinodermata and the Chordata. [147] Echinoderms are exclusively marine and include starfish , sea urchins , and sea cucumbers . [ 148 ] The chordates are dominated by the vertebrates (animals with backbones ), [ 149 ] which consist of fishes , amphibians , reptiles , birds , and mammals . [ 150 ]
In biology, taxonomic rank (which some authors prefer to call nomenclatural rank [1] because ranking is part of nomenclature rather than taxonomy proper, according to some definitions of these terms) is the relative or absolute level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in a hierarchy that reflects evolutionary relationships.
Hemichordata (/ ˌ h ɛ m ɪ k ɔːr ˈ d eɪ t ə / HEM-ih-kor-DAY-tə) is a phylum which consists of triploblastic, eucoelomate, and bilaterally symmetrical marine deuterostome animals, generally considered the sister group of the echinoderms. They appear in the Lower or Middle Cambrian and include two main classes: Enteropneusta (acorn worms ...
