Summary

This PDF document presents information on the Phylum Chordata, focusing on the four key anatomical features: notochord, nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and post-anal tail. It also details various classes within the phylum like tunicates, hagfishes, and bony fish.

KINGDOM : VERTEBRATE DIVERSITY KINGDOM : 4 ANATOMICAL FEATURES KINGDOM : 4 ANATOMICAL FEATURES KINGDOM : 4 ANATOMICAL FEATURES NOTOCHORD Longitudinal, flexible rod located between the digestive tube and the nerve cord Composed of large, fluid filled cells encased in fairly stiff, fibrous tissue KINGDOM : 4 ANATOMICAL FEATURES KINGDOM : 4 ANATOMICAL FEATURES NERVE CORD Dorsal, hollow nerve cord The nerve cord of a chordate embryo develops into the central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord. KINGDOM : 4 ANATOMICAL FEATURES : FEATURES KINGDOM 4 ANATOMICAL PHARYNGEAL SLITS The pharyngeal slits allow water that enters the mouth to exit without continuing through the entire digestive tract. Function as filter-feeding device (for invertebrate chordates) KINGDOM : 4 ANATOMICAL FEATURES KINGDOM : 4 ANATOMICAL FEATURES POST ANAL TAIL The chordate tail contains skeletal elements and muscles and provides much of the propulsive force in many aquatic species. KINGDOM : 4 ANATOMICAL FEATURES POST ANAL TAIL The chordate tail contains skeletal elements and muscles and provides much of the propulsive force in many aquatic species. KINGDOM : 4 ANATOMICAL FEATURES KINGDOM : VERTEBRATE DIVERSITY KINGDOM : 4 ANATOMICAL FEATURES :CHORDATES KINGDOM INVERTEBRATE SP UROCHORDATA AKA the “Tunicates” Sessile marine animals that adhere to rocks, docks, and boats. Others are planktonic. Some species are colonial :CHORDATES KINGDOM INVERTEBRATE SP UROCHORDATA AKA the “Tunicates” Sessile marine animals that adhere to rocks, docks, and boats. Others are planktonic. Some species are colonial :CHORDATES KINGDOM INVERTEBRATE SP CEPHALOCHORDATA AKA “Lancelets” (blade-like shape) Only a few centimeters long, that live in the sand at the bottom of the sea in coastal areas :CHORDATES KINGDOM INVERTEBRATE SP CEPHALOCHORDATA AKA “Lancelets” (blade-like shape) Only a few centimeters long, that live in the sand at the bottom of the sea in coastal areas branchiostoma-one-few-living-genera-lancelets-type-genus-family-branchiostomidae-small-vaguely-eel-46625312.jpg KINGDOM : SUB PHYLUM VERTEBRATA CLASS MYXINI AKA “Hagfishes” Jawless marine “vertebrates” that have cartilaginous skulls and an axial skeleton derived from the notochord (no column of vertebrae) KINGDOM : SUB PHYLUM pacific-hagfish-slime-01.jpg VERTEBRATA CLASS MYXINI Mainly bottom-dwelling scavengers Rows of slime glands on a hagfish’s sides secrete a sticky substance KINGDOM : SUB PHYLUM VERTEBRATA CLASS CEPHALASPIDOMORPHI AKA “Lampreys” Jawless vertebrates that have cartilage segments surrounding notochord and arching partly over the nerve cord Lamprey Fish Falling From Sky.png KINGDOM : SUB PHYLUM VERTEBRATA CLASS CHONDRICHTHYES AKA “Cartilaginous fishes” Cartilaginous skeleton evolved secondarily Consists of sharks and rays KINGDOM : SUB PHYLUM VERTEBRATA CLASS OSTEICHTHYES AKA “Bony fishes” Of all vertebrate groups, They are the most numerous both in individuals and in species. KINGDOM : SUB PHYLUM VERTEBRATA CLASS OSTEICHTHYES They have skeletons reinforced by calcium phosphate. In contrast to the cartilaginous fishes, they have “opercula” (bony gill cover). KINGDOM Tilapia_zilli_Kineret.jpg : SUB PHYLUM VERTEBRATA CLASS OSTEICHTHYES They have skeletons reinforced by calcium phosphate.
