  2. Chordate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chordate

    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.

  3. Craniate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craniate

    In the simplest sense, craniates are chordates with well-defined heads, thus excluding members of the chordate subphyla Tunicata (tunicates) and Cephalochordata (lancelets), but including Myxini, which have cartilaginous crania and tooth-like structures composed of keratin.

  4. List of chordate orders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chordate_orders

    This article contains a list of all of the classes and orders that are located in the Phylum Chordata. The subphyla Tunicata and Vertebrata are in the unranked Olfactores clade, while the subphylum Cephalochordata is not. Animals in Olfactores are characterized as having a more advanced olfactory system than animals not in it.

  5. Lancelet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancelet

    According to this theory, there is a deep agreement between the vertebrates and cephalochordates, and even all chordates. [75] [76] With the advent of molecular genetics lancelets are once again regarded as a model of vertebrate ancestors, and are used again as a model organism. [77] [30]

  6. Mammal classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammal_classification

    Mammalia is a class of animal within the phylum Chordata. Mammal classification has been through several iterations since Carl Linnaeus initially defined the class. No classification system is universally accepted; McKenna & Bell (1997) and Wilson & Reader (2005) provide useful recent compendiums. [1]

  7. Marine vertebrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_vertebrate

    As a subphylum of chordates, all vertebrates have evolved a vertebral column (backbone) based around the embryonic notochord (which becomes the intervertebral discs), forming the core structural support of an internal skeleton, and also serves to enclose and protect the spinal cord.

  9. Hemichordate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemichordate

    A hollow neural tube exists among some species (at least in early life), probably a primitive trait that they share with the common ancestor of chordata and the rest of the deuterostomes. [8] Hemichordates have a nerve net and longitudinal nerves, but no brain. [9] [10] Some species biomineralize in calcium carbonate. [11]
