Chordate pharyngeal slits appear to have functioned first as suspension-feeding devices.

Chordate
Chordates are the organisms that have a rod like cartilagenous structure called notochord which gives rise to nervous system. These have pharyngeal gill slits. Nonchordates are the organisms that do not have a notochord. These do not have pharyngeal gill slits.
They are: a. a dorsal, hollow nerve chord b. a notochord c. pharyngeal gill slits d. and a post-anal tail
The notochord, an endostyle, pharyngeal slits and a post-anal tail
Yes. Perch are in the Phylum Chordata as they exhibit the four major characteristics of a chordate: a notochord, pharyngeal gill slits, a hollow dorsal nerve cord, as well as a post anal tail.
An adult sea squirt has an endostyle and pharyngeal slits which are two of the five hallmark characteristics of chordates.
The subphylum Vertebrata retains all chordate characteristics even in the adult forms. Vertebrates possess a notochord, dorsal nerve cord, post-anal tail, and pharyngeal slits or pouches throughout their lives.
Yes, snakes are chordates. They have postanal tails, pharyngeal gills or slits, a notochord that allows for muscle support and attachment, and a dorsal, hollow nerve tail that leads to a distinct brain.
Chordates are animals in phylum Chordata, like reptiles, mammals, and birds. They have postanal tails, pharyngeal gills or slits, a notochord that allows for muscle support and attachment, and a dorsal, hollow nerve tail.
